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!

FCA expands Jeep Cherokee recall to 68k more vehicles

Wed, May 13 2015

FCA is expanding its airbag software update for the 2014 and 2015 Jeep Cherokee to cover 68,593 more of the vehicles worldwide. This brings the total to 316,774 Cherokees. Of those, there are now 230,240 in the US, 28,110 in Canada, 6,367 in Mexico, and 52,057 outside of NAFTA. According to the automaker, after reviewing the potentially affected population, it discovered these additional Cherokees in need of the upgrade. The original campaign to repair these vehicles was announced in early February. Engineers found a small number of cases where dramatic changes to the angle of the vehicle that upset its balance caused the side-curtain and seat-mounted side airbags to deploy because they anticipated a rollover. This especially occurred when driving off-road. According to FCA, there're no additional reports of this happening, and the company isn't aware of any injuries or accidents. The fix is simply a software upgrade that recalibrates the airbags' deployment. Related Video: Statement: Restraint-System Software Upgrade May 12, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is expanding by an estimated 62,148 vehicles its recall of U.S.-market SUVs** to upgrade air-bag software. The action follows a routine review of the originally reported vehicle population by FCA US engineers. There have been no additional incidents and FCA US is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. The campaign will upgrade software that governs side-curtain and seat-mounted side air bags following a small number of inadvertent deployments – most of which occurred in harsh, off-road environments. They were prompted by maneuvers that dramatically changed the vehicles' angle of operation, relative to the ground, and the air-bag systems – sensing potential rollover conditions – automatically activated. The software upgrade will recalibrate the threshold for deployment and the vehicles will remain compliant with all applicable safety regulations. Affected are certain 2014 and 2015 Jeep Cherokees. The revised estimate for the U.S. totals 230,240. Revised estimates for other markets are as follows: 28,110 in Canada; 6,367 in Mexico and 52,057 outside the NAFTA region. The revised global total is 316,774 – a difference of 68,593. The Company will notify affected customers. Software will be available at that time. Customers with additional concerns or questions may call 1-800-853-1403. ** http://media.chrysler.com/newsrelease.do?id=16332&mid=431

Weekly Recap: Jaguar takes a leap with price cut, new strategy

Sat, Sep 5 2015

Jaguar was one of the famous automotive props and plotlines in the now-iconic drama Mad Men. There's a scene where the show's protagonist, Don Draper, deftly undercuts an influential Jaguar dealer by indicating that get-me-in-the-door local radio spots would be an effective way to sell cars like the slinky E-Type. The British executives think this is folly – Draper knows they will – and his advertising strategy wins out over the dealer's approach to move the metal. Jaguar's not doing that, but half a century later in the real world the company is launching plans to make its cars more attainable to new and younger customers like Millenials. These aren't coupons, but this is a leap for Jaguar, which has long banked on sexy styling and its rich motorsports history to overshadow its past mechanical flaws. Put simply, Jaguar is addressing the reasons why people, especially the younger set, don't buy its cars. The 2017 XE will start at $35,895 when it launches next spring – which makes it an attractive buy for a successful, relatively young person. When it's time to move up, the redesigned XF will be more attainable, coming in at $52,895, which is $5,275 less than the 2015 model. The flagship XJ sedan and the enthusiast-oriented F-Type sports car will also get thousands of dollars worth of added standard features, and Jag is actively pitching them as a better value than their competitors. "The Jaguar brand is on the eve of a major transformation that will see it dramatically increase its presence in the United States luxury marketplace with an expanded lineup, pricing focused on the core of the luxury market, and an all-new ownership package with best-in-class coverage," Joe Eberhardt, CEO of Jaguar Land Rover North America, said in a statement. The brand's quality and reliability dings have also lurked in the back of buyers' minds for decades, though that's an outdated notion. Jaguar placed third in J.D. Power's Initial Quality Study in June and was the top-ranked luxury brand in J.D. Power's Customer Service Index in March. Not content, the company is rolling out an enhanced program called Jaguar EliteCare that launches on 2016 models. It offers a five-year, 60,000-mile limited warranty, the longest among its competitors, with free scheduled maintenance during that period. The plan also covers roadside assistance and connectivity features.

Chrysler resolves recall issue with NHTSA, will inspect, upgrade affected Jeeps

Tue, 18 Jun 2013

Chrysler made big news earlier in the month by refusing a recall request from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for the 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty. Last week, NHTSA boss David Strickland countered by defending his agency's request for the recall of 2.7 million Jeep SUVs. Today marked the deadline for Chrysler to formally respond to NHTSA, and it seems that both parties have met in the middle with Chrysler inspecting and upgrading some of the affected vehicles without using the word "recall," which would constitute the admission of a defect; instead, Chrysler said that it is conducting a "voluntary campaign."
At issue on these vehicles is the positioning of the fuel tank behind the rear axle that could get damaged during a rear-end collision. NHTSA has stated that at least 51 people have been killed in rear-end collisions involving these Jeeps after the vehicles caught fire, to which Chrysler countered by pointing out that both models "met and exceeded" the requirements for fuel-system integrity.
As a compromise on the situation, Chrysler says that it will inspect all pre-2004 Grand Cherokees and pre-2007 Liberty models and, "if necessary, provide an upgrade to the rear structure of the vehicle." According to Automotive News, this upgrade will consist of adding a trailer hitch that will presumably better protect the rear-mounted gas tank. Vehicles already equipped with a factory or Mopar hitch will not be modified. Chrysler's official statement on the matter is posted below, but no additional information has been released, such as when the campaign will begin and how many vehicles could be affected.
