1984 Jeep CJ7 Laredo - 126,900 miles 1984 Jeep CJ7 Laredo is a beautiful classic and original rust free California Jeep. It spent the last 20 years in the desert of California before I brought it back with me to Colorado in February. There is over $20k in aftermarket upgrades (All of the upgrades were completed at or after 100k miles). The engine is incredible and has a lot of power. I can easily travel 70mph driving over the mountain passes here in Colorado comfortably. Not only does it have a great power band with the fuel injected 350v8 and the 700R4 overdrive auto transmission, it is a synch driving in town, on the highway and offroading. When driving 70mph on the highway, the rpm's are only 2000. The custom Rear Dana 60 Differential can withstand the power of the V8 all day long! It is also set up perfectly to conquer the most difficult terrain possible. I would not be afraid to drive this Jeep anywhere. Aftermarket Upgrades Include: * rebuilt1990 Chevy 350 TBI 350v8 *rebuilt 700R4 Automatic Transmission with Rachet shifter *Electric Fuel Pump *Navajo Double Diaphram Power Brake Booster and Corvette Brake Master Cylinder *Custom Build Rear differential Dana 60 with 35 spline chromoly Axel shafts, 4.11 gears and an ARB air Locker *Front Dana 30 Differential with chromoly shafts, 4.11 gears and an ARB Air Locker *15x8 Chrome OEM CJ7 Laredo wheels from 1981 Excellent Condition(rare find) *(5) New 33x12.50x15" BFG KM2 Mud Terrain Tires (still have hairs) *4wp Front Reverse Shackles and 4" Rear suspension *Custom Driveshafts front and rear *Aftermarket Front Leather Seats *Rhino Bed Liner on the inside of the tub *Full Front Roll Cage with new grab handles *Custom Rack for the back included (holds a snowboard, cooler or whatever you need to haul - has hitch too) *Power Steering Brace *Tuffy Center Console with Sony Detachable CD player *Aftermarket heavy duty 20 Gallon Fuel Tank *Custom Rock rails under the doors *Bestop Sunrider soft top with all hardware and clear windows Engine: Rebuilt 1990 Chevrolet 350 5.7L V8 with Throttle Body Injection.. The Jeep runs incredible, sounds fantastic and it doesn't matter if it is cold or hot outside it fires right up thanks to it being fuel injected. It runs great, is super peppy and doesn't leak any fluids. I recently upgraded the radiator with an aluminum unit and relocated the overflow radiator tank closer. Transmission/Transfer Case: 700R4 Automatic Transmission with overdrive is excellent. It shifts great, without play, grinding, slipping or crunching. It has a rachet shifter on it that makes shifting super easy. The transfer case is a Dana 300. It easily goes into gear high and low range 4wheel drive. I do notice a small drip from the transmission and transfer case after driving it the following day. Drivetrain/suspension: The Jeep drives excellent with the lift. The front sway bar has disconnects which is great for off road driving. Each leaf spring has U bolt skid plates so you will never have to worry about breaking a u bolt. There aren't any loud clunks or noises, it is very smooth. The drivetrain is perfectly set up with ARB Air locking differentials, 4.11 gears and chromoly shafts. The power steering is super sensitive and is very easy to steer. The power brake booster was replaced last week with a Navajo double diaphragm and a Corvette master cylinder. The brakes are super sensitive and stop the jeep easily. Interior Controls/Switches: Everything in the interior works great except the factory tach and intermittently the windshield wipers. There is an aftermarket tach on the steering column that works great. The sony CD player/radio is in the center console. There are front dash speakers and rear 6x9s by the roll bar. The Tuffy console adds security however I do not have the key for it. The fuel, speedometer, heater odometer, blinkers, horn, lights etc all work as well. Paint/Body/Rust: The paint is the original Black and original Laredo Striping. The paint is beautiful and very reflective, shiny and lots of luster but still 30 years old and has minor blemishes. The rear fender flares are a custom fit and from a Jeep Wrangler YJ. The Jeep is rust free except for some minor surface rust on the windshield frame hinges. It also has some rock chips on the windshield frame. The frame is rust free and has never been repaired. Behind the passenger rear flare there is some cracking, looks like there was a little body work completed at one time but unsure when exactly. Interior: The interior is nice, the front captains chairs are aftermarket black leather and are extremely comfortable. There is no rear seat or carpet. The inside of the tub has been bed lined. The dash pad does not have any cuts and lastly. Soft Top/Doors: The black soft top is in excellent condition and a bestop sun rider. The doors do not have any rust, the windows roll up and down very easily and the locks work from the inside. Unfortunately I do not have a key for the doors. The doors both have a couple deep scratches and misc light scratches, chips and the drivers side has a little defect. The wing windows open and close with ease and the seal tight. Tires/Wheels: (5) brand new last week 33x12.50x15 BFG KM2 Mud Terrain tires. The wheels are from an 1981 CJ7 Laredo and 15x8 in excellent condition. The clear coat was removed and they shine beautifully! I have the original 15x7 chromed and caps and can swap them out if you want or will include them with the buy it now. Overall: This is a beautiful Jeep and ready to go and a classic that is turn key and ready to go. It would make the perfect weekend warrior, beach runner or mountain adventurer. The CJ7 is used and 30 years old, it may have blemishes, scratches, nicks etc that I didn't capture on my camera. Overall the condition is beautiful! I do my best to illustrate the condition, I may have missed something so be sure to ask all questions you have prior to bidding or winning the Jeep. The Jeep is being sold as is, where is, without warranty or guarantees. I am not required for your state emission or safety inspections including Colorado. Shipping: If you are out of state and need to have this Jeep shipped, call M&E Auto Transport #606-354-3643. Michael is great to work with and offers competitive pricing, quick pickup and delivery.

AEV Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon
Fri, 28 Feb 2014
After their rented 2007 Hummer H3 failed them during the brutal Rallye Aicha des Gazelles in Morocco, Amy Lerner and her sister Tricia Reina were on a quest to find the most capable production off-roader for their next competition - they chose a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. Their next mission was to find a company with the competence to configure it to win. After poring over Internet forums and perusing countless magazines for an outfitter who could meet their demanding requirements, they sent their bright orange JK ("Crush" is the official color) to American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) for some modifications.
The Michigan-based team at AEV kept the Jeep's 3.6-liter V6 and automatic transmission stock, but replaced the hood with a tall AEV Heat Reduction Hood and added an AEV Snorkel Kit for water crossings (it serves double-duty as its raised height helps to keep the air intake out of the kicked-up dust on the trail). Front and rear off-road bumpers were bolted in place, and AEV skid plates were added to provide additional undercarriage protection. A pair of IPF-900 off-road lights improve visibility, while a 10.2-gallon AEV Fuel Caddy (located behind the exterior spare) added some range. The suspension was upgraded with a 3.5-inch lift kit with Bilstein remote reservoir shocks, and 35-inch Falken Wildpeak A/T tires (LT285/70R17) were mounted at all four corners on AEV's beadlock wheels.
2015 Jeep Renegade First Drive [w/video]
Fri, Jan 23 2015Would it surprise you to hear that a strong, vocal and loyal owner base can sometimes be a hindrance to automakers? Of course, no brand would ever admit such a thing. And sure, on the surface, you might think that having people passionately champion a brand would provide nothing but perks. As we've seen over the years, though, there are plenty of times when that's not the case. Jeep has most recently fought this battle following the arrival of the new Cherokee, where two-tracking purists and rock-crawling enthusiasts bemoaned the nameplate's dip into Crossoverdom. Now, with its latest vehicle, the off-road brand is trying to keep this vocal minority happy (or at least quiet) while building a crossover that has general-purpose appeal to consumers in an increasingly crowded and important small CUV market. This balancing act has produced the 2015 Renegade, a vehicle that, following our testing in sunny San Jose, CA, we're quite confident will appeal to both brand loyalists and the uninitiated, alike. Before we dig into the meat of our First Drive, if you're here looking for a review of the Renegade Trailhawk and its off-road abilities, you're out of luck. We did drive it, both on- and off-road, and will be publishing a feature on it in the very near future. But for now, we're focusing on the volume model, the Renegade Latitude. Instead of the off-roader-meets-E.T. appearance of the Cherokee that's polarized so many, Jeep has dipped its brush in the tin marked "Heritage," fitting a simple seven-slat grille, historically appropriate round headlights and square taillights. In between all that, there are flared trapezoidal wheel arches, like you'd get on a classic CJ or MB, tall windows to let in plenty of light and short overhangs. It's not the broader strokes that contribute to the Renegade's adorably busy exterior, so much as the myriad of smaller styling details that visually attach this new model to Jeeps of the past. The hood is long and mostly flat, forcibly recalling the bonnet of the original Willys MBs and Ford GPWs that US troops used to strategize, sermonize and operate on during World War II. But rather than make it flush with the grille, it bleeds over the headlights, like the front of an infantryman's helmet. The X shape found throughout the car is reminiscent of military-style jerry cans, while the mirrors are door-mounted, like Jeeps of old. The roof, meanwhile, can be blacked-out, further linking the Renegade to its big brother, the Wrangler.
FCA and Peugeot reportedly agree on merger
Wed, Oct 30 2019Citing a Wall Street Journal report, the Detroit Free Press says "Fiat Chrysler and PSA Groupe have agreed to merge." The Journal reported on talks between the two car companies only yesterday. It's said that Peugeot's board met yesterday to approve the deal, FCA's board met today, and an announcement could come as soon as tomorrow, Thursday. Both automakers have released statements, but neither company has released any information beyond admitting to ongoing talks. If the merger happens, the combined entity would become the world's fourth-largest carmaker with a $50 billion valuation, slotting in behind Toyota, the Volkswagen Group, and the Renault Nissan Mitsubishi alliance. Among the merger options possible, "an all-stock merger of equals" is the one analysts and Moody's seem to give the best grade. The reported merger would come about four months after FCA walked away from merger talks with Renault. FCA said the French government scuppered those talks over the role of Nissan in a reformed entity, but there were also brewing issues with French unions, and ongoing turmoil among Renault and Nissan leadership thanks to continuing fallout from ex-CEO Carlos Ghosn's arrest last year. FCA makes most of its revenue in the U.S. and rules Italy, while Peugeot is the second-best-selling automaker in Europe with its own brand in France and Opel in Germany. The two companies already have a partnership in Europe making vans, one that FCA CEO Mike Manley has spoken highly of. Among the list of obvious benefits in a potential merger, FCA would get access to Peugeot's small, modern platforms, $10.2 billion in cash, and electrified and hybrid architecture developments, the latter especially important to FCA as those are fields where it lags. Peugeot would get much easier access to the U.S. market, and the money-printing brands Jeep and Ram. A merged carmaker would have combined sales of nearly 9 million a year, based on 2018 results. By comparison, both Volkswagen and Toyota sell over 10 million cars a year, while the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance almost 11 million. Peugeot CEO Carlos Tavares has proved he knows how to do turnarounds and mergers. After leaving a position as Carlos Ghosn's right-hand man in 2012, Tavares took over Peugeot in 2014, navigated a bailout from the French government and China's Dongfeng Motors in 2015, and turned PSA into a regional powerhouse.
