1985 CJ-7 Laredo, 258 straight 6 (4.2L) with 4-speed manual, 122xxx miles
The entire body exterior was recently sprayed with truck bedliner by Line-X of Lancaster
Underbody and frame coated with black POR-15 rust-preventative paint, and I'm in the process of finishing the inside of the tub with the same paint
I've had this Jeep for 2+ years and put about 20K miles on it, and it's been the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. I'm selling it simply because I took a new job that requires an 80+ mile round trip every day, and if you've ever owned a Jeep, you understand why that isn't practical. The Jeep runs very smoothly, especially after having the carburetor professionally adjusted. Is idles at 500 RPM and gets around 20 MPG on the highway, which is excellent for this motor. The clutch and transmission have always been trouble-free and the 4x4 works great in the snow. It will be ready for off-roading with nothing more than beefier tires. I took it on as a small project that I'm finally satisfied with. That combined with my long commute has put me back in the market for a car, and has freed up time for me to take on a new project. And no, I don't want another project, so don't offer trades on anything that needs major work.
New parts include:
Original CJ fiberglass hard top
Bestop Supertop with tinted rear and side windows (installed)
Spare tan soft top, worn but still usable
Bestop bikini top included (ok so I guess that makes 4 tops, not 2...)
Warn front bumper and 6000lb Warn winch
Rugged Ridge 7" fender flares (recently installed)
Front fenders and hood (originals just starting to rust)
Mopar Performance valve cover
Hella headlights
good tread on tires
new wiper arms and blades
intake and exhaust manifold gasket, no exhaust leaks anywhere
carburetor recently cleaned and tweaked
K&N oil and air filters, always
Mojave 12,000 BTU heater
Pioneer receiver and speakers
More additions than I can remember at this point....
I'm not in any hurry to get rid of it. I'd certainly prefer to sell it for cash, $6000 OBO, but I would entertain trades for anything that gets reasonable gas mileage that I can use as a beater/daily driver IF you have cash to add. No bikes, no quads, nothing idiotic.

2014 Jeep Compass/Patriot sing their swan songs with a six-speed automatic
Tue, 15 Jan 2013Unless the governor, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne, gives them a reprieve, the 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot are expected to meet their makers sometime next year. Should they perish, it's a shame that it would happen just as they've shed the continuously variable transmission that was their major bugbear, and just as the Compass has gotten its best looks yet.
Both will roll with a proper six-speed automatic transmission, courtesy of PowerTech. Noise-resistant gears and tuning by Chrysler boffins should alleviate the unappealing sounds that were given off by the older CVT. Unless, that is, you choose to have either model equipped with Freedom Drive II; the serious off-road package, available on both baby Jeeps, will still come with the CVT. The base transmission on the entry-level Sport trim remains the five-speed manual.
Otherwise, it's minor changes for the Compass, set off by the new 18-inch wheel option, trim pieces around the car and a back-up camera. The Patriot gets seat-mounted airbags, but is carryover otherwise. With their expected demises perhaps a year away, not much has changed otherwise. Engine choices comprise the 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 158 horsepower and 141 pound-feet of torque or the 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 172 hp and 165 lb-ft.
Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk undisguised with Hellcat power
Tue, Jul 5 2016Superchargers make everything better. Mount one to the top of a 6.2L Hemi V8 and pack it under the hood of a Jeep Grand Cherokee and you have a recipe for a completely bonkers, wholly unnecessary, and totally sweet SUV. We've known for a while that the so-called Trackhawk, essentially a Hellcat Jeep, is on its way. We now have photos of a completely undisguised test vehicle on public Michigan roads trying to make its way to SRT headquarters. Jeep already makes an SRT version of the Grand Cherokee. That version only puts out a measly 475 hp and 470 pound-feet of torque from a 6.4L Hemi. After developing a couple of 707-hp Dodges, SRT felt that Jeep needed some of that Hellcat love too. In the photos, we can see that, aside from the front fascia, the Trackhawk will look fairly similar to the standard SRT Grand Cherokee. The front retains the requisite Jeep grille, though it's been narrowed a bit to make room for larger air intakes below. The Hellcat engine creates a lot of heat, so designers needed to make sure the beast has plenty of room to breathe. New LED fog lights have been integrated into lower air ducts. We still don't know many of the Trackhawk's finer details, like the exact price or release date. We do know that Jeep claims a 3.5-second 0-60 time, making it both the quickest-accelerating Hellcat-powered vehicle and one of the quickest-accelerating vehicles in the world. For comparison, BMW claims the X5 M will do 0-60 in 4 seconds flat. Related Video: Featured Gallery Grand Cherokee Trackhawk View 9 Photos Spy Photos Jeep SUV
Chrysler earns $1.7B in 2012, revises product plans for US
Wed, 30 Jan 2013Hot on the heels of Ford's earnings announcement for the year that was, Chrysler today reported a 2012 net income of $1.7 billion, up substantially from the comparatively minuscule $183 million profit earned in 2011 when it repaid its US government loans.
Chrysler's good year ended with an excellent fourth quarter that saw net income rise 68 percent from $225 million in 2011 to $378 million. Where are all those extra earnings coming from? Market share, which Chrysler saw increase to 11.4% last year on sales of 1.65 million vehicles. In fact, the Auburn Hills, MI-based automaker out-paced the industry's market growth of 13 percent last year with sales up 21 percent for the year.
The company also revealed an updated product plan for its Chrysler Group and Fiat brands that looks all the way out to 2016. It's an updated version of the plan introduced in 2009 shortly after Fiat took control of the American automaker, and includes such new additions as an Alfa Romeo model, likely the 4C, to be introduced in the US this year, as well five more Alfa models by 2016. Likewise, Fiat will be growing by an additional seven models in the coming few years.
