This is a rust and rot-free CJ7 that came from Arizona and has a clear Arizona Title. I bought it knowing that I was going to bring it back to original however I am sidetracked by a '78 Golden Eagle project. This jeep is rock solid and drives great. The engine has been replaced with a newer 4.2 liter fuel injected engine (not the 4.0 liter). The jeep starts on the first turn of the key each and every time and absolutely NO idling issues. It drives great down the highway at 70 mph and doesn't wander or wobble at all. The 4-speed transmission and clutch shift perfectly and the jeep stops on a dime. The brakes as well as the exhaust have been replaced recently and it does appear to be legal for anyone interested in emission restricted states. The catalytic converter are in place and it does have the original components for smog control under the hood. Keep in mind that Michigan does not have mandatory testing so I can't say for certain that it will pass emissions, but as I stated, all of the components appear to be intact and the jeep does not seem to run rich or lean. 4x4 works fine but I've not had it out in the sand dunes or mudding - I simply don't use my jeeps that way. The jeep does not have power steering, however I do have the gearbox as well as the pump if you'd like to convert it. Those items can be negotiated in the selling price however are not included in the auction.
The exterior is in great shape. I had it painted recently however I instructed the shop to not use any filler. You can still see the factory rivet marks and the natural "waves" that the jeep had when it was born. There were just too many stone pops/chips for me to put a new decal package over it so I had it painted. The paint is not show quality, however it looks great. I tend to be a little picky on my jeeps so I may be more critical than others. The doors were painted as well as and have all new seals. The soft-top is almost new and I actually hate to get rid of it as I was planning on saving it for my next project. Same story with the wheels. I had painted a set of wagon wheels and found some trim rings and center caps but the chrome ones look too good to take off.
The interior is in great condition as well. There are a few things a purist would notice but doesn't affect the jeep. The dash is cut for the stereo, the steering column is out of a YJ (one of the plastic rings is cracked), there is a toggle switch on the dash for the fuel pump (I haven't taken the time to wire the electric fuel pump to the ignition - it was this way when I got it), I recovered the seats with aftermarket, leather skins (although they look really good), the rear seat is aftermarket, the center console is missing the lock, and the carpet I installed is out of a YJ so some of the holes are a little larger around the seat belt openings. Other than that, the jeep shows extremely well. The previous owner also painted in the bedliner material on the inside, which I didn't know before I purchased it site-unseen. For that reason, I did take a bunch of pictures of the underside so you can see that the pans are not rusted out in the least bit.
The rockers are solid. As you can see from the underside, the rocker mouldings have no rust on the attachment lip. There is no rust near the rear frame or tailgate welds either. This jeep is Solid! Because I have a bunch of parts and wouldn't mind keeping some of the parts off the jeep, I'm willing to negotiate a few items if you'd like to get the reserve lowered:
Top: Have a white-hard top as well as an original white whitco - snap top with all of the doors and hardware. I'd be willing to drop for the hardtop swap or a few more bucks for the original
Wheels: I have a set of four painted, black wagon wheels with chrome trim rings and center caps that would like nice as well.
Center Console: If you are planning on replacing this one - I'll take it out and drop a few bucks
Power Steering: I can include the p/s pump as well as the gearbox for a few bucks (you install it)
Lastly, the odometer wasn't working so it was swapped out with one that was. The gauges, including the gas gauge, do work now - however I don't know the true mileage of the jeep. Being from Arizona, I do have the emissions test, which it passed easily in 2012. I have made no modifications to the engine other than a tune up (plugs, wires, oil, etc) so there should be no changes. Being a used vehicle though, I cannot guarantee that it will pass. All I can tell you is that it does not run rich or lean, has no cold issues like the carter BBD carbs had, no rod noises or engine knocks - so I can't imagine there would be an emission problem if you live in a state that requires it.
I don't have any problem shipping however I'm in need of space so it would have to be within a reasonable timeframe. I've sold jeeps and mustangs to Australia, South Africa, New Zeeland, Norway, and Canada - to name a few. If you have any questions or want more pictures, please don't hesitate to ask however I do request that you respect my time and refrain from tire-kicking. Thanks for looking and GodBless!

Chrysler has announced a recall covering 349,442 vehicles due to ignition switches that can either become stuck or move without warning. All of the affected vehicles are from the 2008 model year, and were built before May 12, 2008.
The automaker has learned that ignition keys on some vehicles "may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position during engine-startup," the company said in a statement. Additionally, "an ignition key may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position and may inadvertently move through the 'ON' position to 'ACCESSORY' or 'OFF.'"
Chrysler says it is unaware of any related injuries, and notes that while reduced braking, engine or steering power is possible in such instances, the airbags are not affected. The later stands in contrast to General Motors' recent rash of high-profile recalls, and it's an important distinction that Chrysler (understandably) felt necessary to call out in bold print in its press release.

The second of three spots produced by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles for this year's Super Bowl featured the all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee. Aired during the game's half time show, the minute-long ad didn't strike as anything new or innovative from an automaker with a reputation for above average Super Bowl spots, but it did show the controversially styled Cherokee in the best light possible.
Called Restless, the commercial shows young, adventurous types doing the sorts of things that young, adventurous types do: surfing, skateboarding, cliff jumping, staring off into the sky with a pensive expression, etc. Scroll down to watch Restless for yourself and let us know in Comments if Jeep managed to hold your attention during half time.

Just a few weeks back, we reported on the theft of an Audi RS5 by a pair of creative thieves who managed to swipe the car's keys when the salesperson stepped away from their desk. Now, a Florida dealership is missing a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 after some crooks switched the Jeep's keys with an identical, non-functioning set.
According to the report from local NBC affiliate WPTV, the men went in and spoke to a dealer about the Jeep. They walked outside, took a look at it, started it up and in the process managed to switch out the fobs. After doing their time with the salesperson, the thieves walked back out to the car, got in and drove away.
"I mean obviously, the way it was done, I think that they were professionals and they knew what they were doing," said Arrigo Jeep General Manager Joe Tufo. "The fact that they did it in broad daylight and switched the key fob and it was like it was nothing. That's what makes it unique," he added.
