1984 Jeep CJ7 - Fuel Injected and Rust Free!


This is a rust and rot-free CJ7 that came from Arizona.  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 pain 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.  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 to 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. 

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!

2.1 million vehicles recalled again over faulty airbags

Sat, Jan 31 2015

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Honda and Toyota will recall 2.1 million vehicles to fix faulty airbag modules "after the manufacturers' original attempts to fix the defects proved ineffective in some vehicles." These vehicles had all previously been recalled, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that the airbags could still potentially malfunction. This recall will cover Acura MDX, Dodge Viper, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Honda Odyssey, Pontiac Vibe, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Matrix and Toyota Avalon models made in the early 2000s. NHTSA has reportedly received about 40 reports of airbag deployment in such vehicles, even though the vehicle had not been involved in a crash. Roughly one million of these same vehicles, all from Honda and Toyota, are also subject to recalls due to faulty Takata airbag modules, though this particular recall is for "an electronic component manufactured by TRW" that is separate from the actual airbags from Takata. According to NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind: "This is unfortunately a complicated issue for consumers, who may have to return to their dealer more than once. But this is an urgent safety issue, and all consumers with vehicles covered by the previous recalls should have that remedy installed. Even though it's a temporary solution until the new remedy is available, they and their families will be safer if they take the time to learn if their vehicle is covered and follow their manufacturers' instructions. A hassle is much better than a family tragedy." If you're the owner of an affected car, expect to hear more from the official automaker and government channels in short order. In the meantime, we'd suggest getting your car checked and fixed at your local dealer. The official statement and recall information can be found below. Previously Recalled Vehicle Remedies Not Working as Designed; NHTSA Announces Follow up Recall of 2.12 Million Cars and SUVs Saturday, January 31, 2015 Contact: Gordon Trowbridge, 202-366-9550, Public.Affairs@dot.gov WASHINGTON – U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx announced today the recall of more than 2.12 million Acura, Dodge, Jeep, Honda, Pontiac, and Toyota vehicles for a defect that may cause airbags to deploy inadvertently. The recalls will provide vehicle owners with a new remedy after the manufacturers' original attempts to fix the defects proved ineffective in some vehicles.

The Chrysler brand could be axed under Stellantis management

Sun, Jan 3 2021

MILAN — While running NissanÂ’s North American operations from 2009 to 2011, Carlos Tavares had a reputation for closely watching costs with little tolerance for vehicles or ventures that didnÂ’t make money. Experts say that means Tavares, currently the head of PSA Group, is likely to follow that blueprint when he becomes leader of a merged PSA and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. The low-performing Chrysler brand might get the axe as could slow-selling cars, SUVs or trucks that lack potential. Already the companies are talking about consolidating vehicle platforms — the underpinnings and powertrains — to save billions in engineering and manufacturing costs. That could mean job losses in Italy, Germany and Michigan as PSA Peugeot technology is integrated into North American and Italian vehicles. “You canÂ’t be cost efficient if you keep the entire scale of both companies,” said Karl Brauer, executive analyst for the iSeeCars.com auto website. “WeÂ’ve seen this show before, and weÂ’re going to see it again where they economize these platforms across continents, across multiple markets.” Shareholders of both companies are to meet Monday to vote on the merger to form the worldÂ’s fourth-largest automaker, to be called Stellantis. The deal received EU regulatory approval just before Christmas. Tavares, who for years has wanted to sell PSA vehicles in the U.S., wonÂ’t take full control of the merged companies until the end of January at the earliest. He likely will target Europe for consolidation first, because thatÂ’s where Fiat vehicles overlap extensively with PSAÂ’s, said IHS Markit Principal Auto Analyst Stephanie Brinley. Europe has been a money-loser for FCA, and factories in Italy are operating way below capacity — a concern for unions, given FiatÂ’s role as the largest private sector employer in the country. “We are at a crossroads,Â’Â’ said Michele De Palma of the FIOM CGIL metalworkersÂ’ union. “Either there is a relaunch, or there is a slow agonizing closure of industry, in particular the auto industry, in Italy.” ItalyÂ’s hopes lie with the luxury Maserati and sporty Alfa Romeo brands, but De Palma said investments are needed to bring hybrid and electric technology up to speed. FiatÂ’s Italian capacity stands at 1.5 million vehicles, but only a few hundred thousand are being produced each year. Most factories were on rolling short-term layoffs due to lack of demand, even before the pandemic.

Jeep 'trailer hitch' recall repair rates lag amidst reports of new death

Sat, Jan 10 2015

The problem with exploding fuel tanks in the 1993-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty in some rear collisions continues to be a problem for FCA US, formerly Chrysler. The campaign to fix the utility vehicles was first announced in June 2013 after 51 claimed fatalities, and the fixes reportedly began in January 2014. However, there continue to be new deaths blaming the problem in unrepaired models, according to The Detroit News, citing data from the Center for Auto Safety. The automaker initially refused NHTSA's pressuring to conduct a recall because the models met applicable crash standards when they were manufactured, but eventually, there was a compromise to inspect and fix about 1.56 million Jeeps. With the fuel tank located between the rear axle and bumper, the unusual fix was to install a trailer hitch for extra protection. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration later agreed that the change would provide added safety in lower to medium speed crashes, but not high-speed crashes. The most recent fatality, according to The Detroit News, occurred on a Michigan freeway in November 2014 when a pregnant woman in a 2003 Liberty was rear-ended when traffic slowed. Her Jeep impacted the vehicle in front, rolled over and a fire resulted. The family reportedly plans to file a lawsuit against FCA. At issue has been the rate at which the vehicles are being fixed. In July 2014, the automaker estimated it could have all of the vehicles repaired by March 2015 thanks to additional hitch supplies. But by November, NHTSA claimed that only three percent of the recalled models had been fixed. FCA says it continues to work to notify owners, though. According to Chrysler spokesperson Eric Mayne to Autoblog, "We are processing approximately 1,200 vehicles per day. Every owner who schedules service is receiving service. As of Jan. 8, that total was 193,490." The company has also mailed out over two million notifications to owners, more than the number officially called in. Given the age of these Jeeps, many of them have had multiple owners, and historically, the older a vehicle is, the less likely the recall fixes are to be carried out. FCA is currently creating a video urging people to have the hitch installed to be released soon.
