Franktown, Colorado, United States
This is a very nice original 1982 jeep cj7 renegade with its renegade name removed probably after it was new. All the stripes are still the original 1982 factory applied stripes. I just bought a polaris rzr, and have decided that may be what I would rather put my money in. This jeep should be left the way it is and preserved. I was going to get the factory renegade decals in the exact color from Phoenix graphics. They sell it only for $85.00.
Body: the body is really very straight.. Starting to bubble up on the exterior in a few places, but amazingly great condition for being a 32 year old off road vehicle. Still has all the factory stripes minus the renegade decal on hood. Factory hardtop with doors. Tailgate opens and shuts nice, as does rear hatch, with twist handle holding it tight. The rear windows have the factory tint. Hood shuts nice and tight, with no crease as do most from hitting roof. The drivers side floor has rust as shown, no patch panels, diamond plating, bondo ect. What you see is a rare unrestored original. This would be really nice to keep it his way, but also and easy restoration jeep, or just drive it as a jeep should be...still has rare factory jack and lug wrench on inner fender, usually missing..I do not have the key for the doors or rear hatch, bug should be very easy to Get at a locksmith. Also included is a box of new bushings, as some have been installed already. Interior: The front seats have been covered at sometime, rear seat looks pretty nice still. Factory carpet has been removed, and is still in great shape. Just over the years the guy must have had snow on his shoes and soaked under the carpet, as most did. There is a small part also on floor behind driver with some rust. Easy repair on both, with all the small patch panels available. Dash is rare uncut original!! No radio. All the gauges work except the fuel gauge, may be a sending unit? 4wd light comes on on the dash still. Still has factory console. Tilt power steering horn works. Drivetrain This has the great 258 6 cylinder, coupled with the optional 5 speed for 1982. 4wd works great in both high and low,along with he factory lock out hubs.

The cat is still on the jeep. Another rare thing is usually when people took these off they almost always trashed them. I believe this jeep had either factory a/c or dealer installed a/c. Includes the rare jeep a/c unit, but don't have compressor. Gone alternator has gone a/c bracket still mounted on top. What another super rare accessory. Jeep runs great, goes down the highway smooth, no pulls. Tires don't sing much. Rear axle code shows this to be a 3:31. Jeep was bought new here in denver at kearns jeep, still attached. 1982 was the 1st year for the wide trac axles, another desirable addition. This jeep is really a amazing survivor, with rare options as a 5 speed, a/c, tilt wheel, renegade package, factory chrome wheels, hard top.. I have a clear colorado title, and vehicle Is stored inside a building. I can store it for the winning bidder for 1 month free, then $75.00 per month after. I will include a buy it now, but once the low reserve is met it will go away. Check my feedback, as I tend to describe to much, but have never had anyone upset about that!! Look at some of the others for sale with 2-3 line descriptions or painted, or the wonderful diamond plating to cover the rust. You will know exactly what your buying...please email with any questions. |

2016 Jeep Wrangler Backcountry is Xtremely Purple
Wed, Nov 18 2015Assuming you're headed into so-called backcountry to do fun, outdoorsy kinds of things, chances are, you wouldn't want to use a bright purple vehicle with hot pink graphics as your means to get off the beaten path. Particularly if you're doing those outdoor activities in a winter wonderland, surrounded by nature's own cold, white blanket. Fortunately, then, Jeep is offering its new Wrangler Backcountry in four colors that aren't called Xtreme Purple: blue, black, white, and gray. No matter which hue you choose, though, you'll get the graphics package, so best to bear that in mind. Besides its searing shade of paint, the Wrangler Backcountry is based on the Sahara model and comes equipped as you'd expect for a real, useful, backwoods vehicle. An off-road-spec front bumper joins a matching powdercoated rear bumper, and its 17-inch wheels are borrowed from the hardcore Rubicon model. Buyers will have a choice of Rubicon Rock Rails or Sahara side steps to ease ingress and egress, and a hardtop in either black or, for an added price, a body-color. But hopefully not purple. The interior is updated for the Wrangler Backcountry with black and grey plastics and stitching, along with black leather and "sport mesh" seating surfaces. A nine-speaker Alpine sound system pumps up the jams, and Bluetooth comes standard. You can read more about the Jeep Wrangler Backcountry in the press release below, but first, check out our high-res image gallery of live photos from the show floor in LA. Oh, and if you do really like Xtreme Purple, you should know that the Wrangler Backcountry is the only Jeep you can get in this particular retina-assaulting hue. 2016 Jeep Wrangler Backcountry The Jeep Wrangler Backcountry boasts a winter capability theme and is based on the Wrangler Sahara model. It features a Backcountry decal on the front fender and rear quarter panel, a unique off-road front and rear powder coated bumper, 17-inch Rubicon wheels painted in Mid-gloss Black and a black fuel fill door. Wrangler Rubicon rock rails are standard on the Wrangler Backcountry, but Sahara side steps are also available at no additional charge. A black hard top is standard, but an optional body color hard top is also available. Wrangler Backcountry is available in five colors: Hydro Blue, Black, Bright White, Granite Crystal and Xtreme Purple. Backcountry is the only model in Wrangler's lineup available in Xtreme Purple.
Hackers arrested after stealing more than 30 Jeeps in Texas
Fri, Aug 5 2016This article has been updated with details on how the thefts were carried out, and with comments from FCA. It seems the news regarding vehicle hacking continues to get worse, especially when it comes to products from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Last year, a Jeep Cherokee in St. Louis, Missouri, was wirelessly hacked from Pittsburgh. Nissan had to shut down its Leaf app because of vulnerabilities. Now, a pair of hackers in Houston, Texas, stole more than 30 Jeeps over a six-month period. The two were arrested by police last Friday while attempting to steal another vehicle. ABC 13 in Houston reports that police had been following Michael Arcee and Jesse Zelay for several months but were unable to catch them in the act until now. The two were using a laptop to connect to and start a vehicle. The thieves were able to access Fiat Chrysler's own DealerCONNECT software. After entering the vehicle identification number, the hackers were able to reprogram the cars' security systems to accept a generic key, according to The Houston Chronicle. Additionally, Automotive News reports that FCA subsequently updated the terms of use for its DealerCONNECT program. These thefts were not related to the UConnect remote hacks from last year.

It was this footage that first led the police to Arcee and Zelay. The police began to follow and record the pair. That investigation eventually led to Friday's arrest. Both are charged with unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. In addition, Arcee is charged with felon in possession of a weapon and possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance. According to ABC 13, Homeland Security is investigating more than 100 stolen FCA vehicles that they believe were hacked using this method. After their theft, the vehicles were brought across the border to Mexico. FCA is currently conducting an internal investigation into the matter. After this article was posted, the company reached out to Autoblog, stating "FCA US takes the safety and security of its customers seriously and incorporates security features in its vehicles that help to reduce the risk of unauthorized and unlawful access to vehicle systems and wireless communications. FCA US has been cooperating with Houston Police Department since they first started the investigation.
Jeep mulling power top for next Wrangler
Fri, 07 Mar 2014Jeep is hard at work on the next-generation Wrangler, though the truck is still a few years from hitting the trails. The new model will still be aimed at off-roaders, but rumors suggest it will be a little more comfortable than previous versions to appeal to more people.
According to Road and Track, Jeep is developing a power-retractable top as an expensive option for the Wrangler. There is no word if the top in question is a sliding canvas rollback like the ones found on many European vehicles or a full convertible hardtop or softtop, nor do we know whether it would be made available on two- or four-door models. It might be a nice feature for some buyers but would certainly add complexity to a truck already known for its ruggedness. We asked Jeep for confirmation, but Jeep spokesperson Todd Goyer could only remind us that the company "can't comment about future products."
In news that is likely to irk the faithful, R&T reports the next model may also ditch its folding windshield for improved safety and possibly even get rid of its rear-mounted, full-size spare tire. The new Wrangler won't go completely soft, though, and will reportedly still feature removable doors and solid axles.
