1983 Jeep Cj7 With Chevy 350 on 2040-cars
Lake Orion, Michigan, United States
Nothing says "I'll go anywhere" quite like a Jeep CJ7 especially one with substantial upgrades under the skin. More power more suspension and a full cosmetic makeover make this 1983 Jeep CJ7 the ultimate way to get noticed. It might just be the most recognizable automobile in the entire world. It has been on every continent and crossed the most forbidding land in the world. Even more than 40 years after it arrived on the scene the evergreen Jeep kept its rugged good looks. Someone has kept up with this one restoring it as-needed over the course of its three decades. CJ7s were notorious for rusting particularly around the rear of the body but this one was spared that fate thanks to a lifetime someplace warm and amazingly it's never needed a full restoration. The black paint isn't perfect but it is nice enough that you'll stand out at the local cruise and definitely think twice about plunging into the brush with it and you'll definitely have the hardware to get wherever you need to go. Accessories include chrome bumpers and grille tubular steps plus a khaki soft top with soft doors and matching bimini top. WWII GIs would have killed for an interior like this in their Jeeps but it remains simple and durable in the best off-roading tradition. New black bucket seats look expensive and upscale gripping you tightly when you're rocking around in the dirt. The dash has been painted in the same black paint as the body with all the original gauges reinstalled so it has a custom look that's all Jeep. Also the interior has been completely Rhino lined to stand up to any amount of dirt that you can throw at it. Black rubber mats and matching roll bar padding give it a go-anywhere feel and there's no denying that it's still basic and rugged. The entire condition suggests it's been well maintained. Mechanically this Jeep is virtually invincible. Many Jeepers prefer an engine swap and this one has it. It has avery smooth torquey Edelbrock Chevy 350. The engine bay is tidy and has not been submerged or driven in the really harsh environments. There are plenty of signs that someone loved this CJ. A 1-inch body lift and gives the suspension a little extra clearance when it's needed. The 4-speed manual transmission shifts smooth with a nice stiff clutch. Newer shocks and a true dual side exhaust ensure reliability and comfort anywhere you go. Handsome 15-inch aluminum wheels wear big 33x12.50-15 off-road tires that look so cool that you should keep them even if you never plan on going off the pavement. If you like playing in the dirt this CJ7 is the right tool for the job. And even if you don't it has the right look and plenty of comfort to drive every day.

Why Mopar won't release a factory lift kit for the new Jeep Cherokee
Thu, 24 Apr 2014The Jeep Cherokee Dakar concept showed off at the 2014 Easter Jeep Safari made a lot of online friends, even the Cherokee naysayers assenting that there's a monster Jeep underneath the Cherokee's skin if you're willing to go in and get it. But after reading Road & Track's write-up of what went into creating the Dakar, particularly its lift, you'll understand why you'll probably never see the components for it in the Jeep Performance Parts catalog.
The concept's press release mentions a "prototype Jeep Performance Parts lift kit, and additional suspension modifications." The short-story explanation is that the front struts on the standard Cherokee weren't engineered to accept any amount of lift, so the long story begins with the phrase, "an entirely new suspension." Head over to RT to read the details, and don't be afraid to ogle the Cherokee Dakar gallery and another awesome Jeep fancy that won't likely crawl over the hurdles imposed by production reality.

Ram and Jeep diesel emissions allegations spur class action lawsuits
Tue, Jan 17 2017This shouldn't come as a surprise. Last week, the EPA issued a notice of violation to FCA after it determined that Jeep and Ram installed eight undisclosed auxiliary emissions control devices on diesel vehicles. Since then US law firm Heninger Garrison Davis, LLC and Canadian firm Sotos LLP have launched class action suits on behalf of owners. These latest lawsuits are unrelated to a previous class action suit brought against FCA and Cummins over NOx emissions in 2007 to 2012 Ram models. The violation notice – and the subsequent lawsuits – covers 2014 to 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Ram 1500 models equipped with the 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6, a total of about 104,000 vehicles in the US. The EPA says that while the emissions control devices aren't necessarily illegal, installing them without disclosing them to the EPA is, as they produce more emissions in real world use than in testing. Skirting certification in this way might be a violation of the Clean Air Act. FCA could see fines of up to $45,000 per vehicle, depending on the outcome of the EPA investigation. FCA denies that these are cheat devices, and has proposed software updates to bring the vehicles into compliance. As for the lawsuits, Heninger Garrison Davis says that "Fiat Chrysler marketed those vehicles as environmentally friendly with enhanced fuel efficiency, better performance, and lower emissions. Although the diesel vehicles were successfully marketed as 'clean,' their environmentally-friendly representations were deceptive to consumers." The suit seeks an undisclosed amount of compensation for owners of these vehicles. In Canada, Sotos LLP is seeking $250 million in damages on behalf of owners. This suit, filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, also claims deception on the part of FCA, "resulting in losses and damage" to owners. These are similar claims to group actions against Volkswagen with regard to its diesel emissions cheating scandal. While VW is fixing or buying back many of the affected vehicles, the company is defending itself against some suits on behalf of owners, saying it expects " no decline in the residual values of the affected vehicles as a result of this issue." Don't be surprised if FCA mounts a similar defense.
