Extra nice 1983 Jeep CJ7 that has lived its entire life out here in Arizon, even has its original paint except for 2 spots (tailgate and engine compartment firewall, one need sprucing up and the other rubbed bare) .    
I have run into issues with my health and need to part with my wonderful CJ7. 
Looking at the Carfax information provided by Ebay, it shows a mileage/odometer issue many years ago which was the miles exceeding the odometer limit.  Also, this past year emissions failed and I took the old Carter carb off and installed a clean running Motorcraft 2150..

The List:

-258 six cylinder taken out and completely cleaned and painted with hi temp paint

- New oil pump

-New fuel pump

-Aluminum rocker arm cover

-Autometer tachometer (high quality with large lower range)

-AM-FM with cassette and 2 Pioneer speakers

-Motorcraft 2150 carb

-Automatic trans TF999 taken out, cleaned, painted

-Dana 300 transfer case taken out , cleaned, painted

-Twin Stick shifting setup for transfer case

-Dana 30 front axle with all new axle shaft seals, bearings, ball joints, universal joints, front calipers, brakes

-Rear Dana 44 with 1 piece axle shafts out of a 1986 CJ7 that replaces the old AMC 20, new brakes, drums cleaned and painted

-New rear Tattons  double cardan rear drive shaft

-All new springs… Old Man Emu 2” lift yj springs with new shackle mounts and new HD shackles by Jim Crabtree (none of that extended shackle junk)

-4 brand new Old Man Emu shock absorbers

-All new exhaust

-All new body mounts to replace the old CJ ones that were getting flat

-20 gallon gas tank, cleaned, painted, new fuel lines, sender, etc..\

-Front and rear custom bumpers

-HD hummer steering gear (same thing as the old CJ one but with a bigger piston)

-New tie rod ends along with a Big Daddy tie rod that has been flipped to the top side of the knuckles for better clearance

-HD steering gear mount (not the flimsy stock CJ one)

-Tilt automatic steering

-Brass Mile Marker lock out hubs

-5 brand new Goodyear Wrangler M/T with Kevlar tires 32x 11.50 on new Mickey Thompson black aluminum rims and new lug nuts

-Brand new Sears Diehard Platinum battery (these are the best out there as they are made by Odessy)

-DUI electronic ignition with DUI live wires

-New motor mounts

-New sway bar bushings

-Sway bar disconnects

-Entire interior floor area and some side areas have been scuffed and a tinted epoxy liner put on.  Makes it quieter and much more durable.  Copper colored.

-YJ family roll bare from a 1994 wrangler with an OR Fab front sport cage is installed.  This give the rear more coverage by the brand new Bestop Safari top that extends further over the back

-Original nutmeg front seats in great shape with a black seat cover over them, rear seat is also nutmeg with no seat cover

-Aluminum rack that spans the rear wheel wells giving a top and lower storage function to the back area

-OEM spare tire carrier (not installed at the moment)

-1/2 rubber pad that is cut and fits in the back to prevent damage when putting things in

-Most of the original carpeting, formed to fit rubber mats in the front

-2 front seat tilt forward AND slide forward

-All new Spicer Ujoints on the entire Jeep

-All new extended brakes lines both front and back

 

EXTRAS:

A 1986 258 block and head with the 1/2 head bolt holes in the block.  Perfect for putting a 4.0 head on that uses the 1/2 bolts.   Block is in great shape as is the head…I planned on having it rebuilt and adding a performance cam, etc. to it….

Extra front drive shaft

2 extra starters

Original CJ7 roll bar

Boxes and boxes of misc. extra parts

 

She runs straight down the road and is a delight to look at.  Motor runs great, NO leaks at all from the entire drive train.  There is a tap-tap sound, might be wrist pin but it has been that way  for 30,000 miles. Right now it has 156,000 miles on it.  IF you do not want the OrFab roll bar setup and safari top, I do have the original roll bar and will drop the overall price by $550 if you want that original one installed instead and I keep the OrFab one for a friend of mine.

These original, rust free CJ7's are getting harder and harder to find due to accidents, rust, parting out, etc..  Get a great one while you can!

LA-bound 2014 Jeep Wrangler special edition gives us the Willys for $25,795

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The Jeep Wrangler might be the reigning king of special editions, but with sales records being broken almost all year, this plan is obviously resonating with buyers. Joining new models like the Dragon Edition and Polar Edition, the 2014 Jeep Wrangler is adding a new Willys Wheeler Edition to pay homage to Jeep's military heritage.
Getting ready for its big debut at the LA Auto Show, the 2014 Jeep Wrangler Willys Wheeler Edition is inspired by early Willys CJ (Civilian Jeep) models with exclusive styling and upgraded off-road goodies. Starting with a Wrangler Sport, these upgrades include a Dana 44 rear axle with limited-slip differential and 3.73 gears, along with meaty BF Goodrich KM Mud Terrain tires mounted to the Willys Wheeler's black 17-inch wheels. For more of a classic Jeep look, this model adds a gloss black grille, "Willys" hood stickers and rock rails to protect the side sills. Jeep is also tossing in a D-ring, tow strap and gloves that are all kept in a special carrying bag.
When it goes on sale early next year, the Wrangler Willys Wheeler Edition will start at $25,795 for the two-door model, while the four-door will start at $29,595. There's an official press release posted below, and we'll be sure to have live images of the special-edition Wrangler live from the LA Auto Show floor later this week, so stay close.

The fascinating history of the Popemobile

Tue, Sep 22 2015

Pope Francis will be arriving today in the US for a variety of stops, including the World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia, PA. While here, the Pontiff won't be riding in the usual Mercedes-Benz Popemobile, but instead will make a more American switch to a modified Jeep Wrangler, according to the Washington Post. It'll feature a protected front, top, and rear, but the sides will be open for His Holiness to see the throngs of people gathering for him. For hundreds of years, Popes were transported in horse-drawn carriages or sometimes carried in an enclosed chair by footmen, but His Holiness finally traded for some real horsepower in 1929. While his ride sometimes varied depending on the country being visited, a Mercedes-Benz was generally the common choice. However, the Pontiffs have ridden in everything from a modified GMC Sierra to a Ferrari Mondial over the past few decades. Pope Francis has definitely preferred more plebeian transportation, though, including a Renault 4 running on biofuel. A trip to South Korea even put him in a Kia Soul, and he opted for an Isuzu D-Max in the Philippines. The Post's whole list is quite a fun read, and it's fascinating to see how the Popemobiles evolve over time. Related Video:
