1985 Jeep Cj7 Body Off Restoration With Amc 360 Beautiful on 2040-cars
Harwich, Massachusetts, United States
Up for auction is my beautiful 1985 CJ7 Jeep. Please get your wife's permission before bidding on this Jeep. I am re-listing due to a non paying buyer.
I bought this jeep from the original owner in 2008. Since then it has had a frame off restoration that was completed in August 2012. Before I bought it it had sat behind a barn since 1991 yes 1991. So this jeep was only on the road for 7 years of its life up to now. The frame is original and in excellent shape with no patch work. I did have to weld 2 body mounts on it. You can eat off the frame and I do wash it. The vin is stamped on it and it does match tag. It is done in oil based gloss black Rustoleum Paint. The motor was installed by previous owner. I just made it pretty . It is a 1979 Wagoneer 360ci and it rips. It has a 4 speed tranny with granny low in 4WD. I do not use 1ST around town. It has 373 gearing. It has an aluminum Edelbrock intake with an Edelbrock carb. It has 35 inch tires with a spring over axle over lift. New headers and true cj side pipe exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers. Sounds very nice. As for the body it is fiberglass with no stress cracks. The rest of the body components are metal. The paint on this rig is from a 2012 GMC Truck it is Stealth Grey Metallic. Funny name because I see a blue jeep. The paint work is of excellent quality and is deep. The front seats are out of a Jeep Grand Cherokee, the rear is the original. I do have a brand new set of soft half doors and soft uppers made by Bestop. I have only driven 750 miles since restoration. The oil gauge never got hooked up I don't know why it just didn't at the time, but everything else is and works fine. So if your looking for an extremely nice jeep CJ7 that you can wash the frame on here's the one. It has front and rear custom built bumpers the front has a winch plate already. I never even took it 4 wheeling, but it works great. The leaf springs are still original. . I have a black hard top included in sale. Also included is a pair of full steel doors that will need to be painted. They are a different color now. Comes with hard top hard doors and soft doors for a soft top. I do not have a soft top. . |

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating
Mon, Aug 6 2018Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.
Watch this R/C Jeep Wrangler plow snow
Mon, 06 Jan 2014There's no denying the fact that the Jeep Wrangler is one tough and rugged vehicle, and there is apparently little lost when the SUV is shrunk down for a 1:10th scale radio-controlled version. Proving that the Axial SCX10 Jeep Wrangler is not your run-of-the-mill R/C car, YouTube user Andrew Dykiel posted a pair of videos showing it clear about an inch of snow from his sidewalk and driveway during a snow storm last month.
Starting at $379.99, the Axial SCX10 costs more than most budget snowblowers, but other than paying a neighbor kid to shovel your snow, this might be the best way for a car guy to clear snow without the need for hot chocolate and ibuprofen. Better yet, it's electric, so it's zero-emission answer to snow removal! Scroll down to see how this R/C Jeep can help "shovel" snow from the warmth of your sofa. We've also thrown in a bonus video showing the mini Jeep negotiating the Rubicon Trail.
