 Up for auction is a very clean 86 Jeep CJ 7.  I have put a lot of money in this Jeep over the past year and due to some unforeseen circumstances I have to sell it.  I hope it will find a new owner that will cherish it as much as I have.

Little history on the Jeep.  I purchased it from the original owners son.  He said is parents got it new and mainly used it as a tow vehicle.  He had it for a few years and used it to commute and minor trail driving.  He said the origial seats broke so he installed some Mastercraft Racing seats.  Those were the first thing I replaced.  He told me he loved the Jeep but had issues getting it to pass smog and kept taking it to different shops with no luck so he decided to sell it.  Its been in southern California most of its life.

When I got it, the Jeep was in great shape, besides the seats.  There were 2 large CB antennas on the rear and the paint was faded all over with the clear coat starting to peal off on the hood.  It had some Rancho Shocks and BFG tires.  It was a good running Jeep, just ran real rich.  I replaced the distributor and carburator with new replacements.  Not re manufactured units, but NEW.  I also added a MSD ignition box and coil.  Replaced the O2 sensor, CTS, and EGR valve.  With a little adjusting the Jeep passed the CA emissions test with ease.  Then it went up hill from there.

I started with the Axles, The rear was the stock Model 20.  Early production 1986.  I know they were weak.  I swapped the gears to 4.10 and added a Detroit Locker and 1 piece axles with all new bearings and seals.  The front was also swapped with 4.10 gears and a locker also.  I then added a 4" lift kit with ProComp MX6 adjustable shocks all the way around.  I purchased some 15x8 REV steel wheels and 33x12.50R15 Kumho Mud tires to top off the lift.  I drove it around a bit then decided to have it repainted.

The body was stripped down and all the trim, glass, door parts and everything that could be removed taken off for a cleaner job.  I knew I was replacing the factory tire carrier so I had the body shop weld the factory holes to the original tire carrier and the CB antennas.  The body and frame were rust free and in great shape.  While the Jeep was at the shop getting done I stated ordering parts.  I decieded since I was doing a 4500 dollar paint job on the Jeep, I might as well replace all the parts that looked worn.  All the rubber parts are new.  I swapped most of the chrome trim with all black parts.  Weather stripping was all new.  I found a 95 Wrangler family roll bar to swap out the factory one.  New deluxe carped, bestop front seats, new dash pad, all new door hardware and trim.  Leather door panels.  VDP sound bar with the 6 speaker system and map lights.  Pioneer Bluetooth in dash radio with Pandora.  All exterior lights are new, with front halo LED and 6000K hid bulbs.  Thousands of dollars later the Jeep was back from the shop and I started assembling it. 

Front and rear bumpers were replaced.  Rear is a ball bearing tire carrier mounted to the frame with a hitch.  Front is a stamped steal Smittybuilt unit.  I had all the windows tinted when the glass was out of the Jeep.  The top was repainted also.  All the dash lights were replaced with SMD LED bulbs for brighter lighting at night.  The flares were all replaced with new units.  Front calipers, rotors, bearings, and pads are all new.  Rear Shoes drums and hardware are all new.  Has stainless brake lines front and rear.  Aluminum radiator with electric fans from a Ford Contour that are wired to a 190 degree switch sitting in the thermostat housing.  Always runs cool, even in the 107 degree weather we were having for the past few weeks in Socal.

I know there is a lot of items I have not mentioned on the Jeep.  It is a great running Jeep that walks up rocks like nothing.  It looks better then new.  The body shop floated the whole Jeep to take the factory stamping marks out.  I do not want to sell it.  I poured thousands of dollars into this Jeep with high quality replacement parts.  Invoices so high I could have bought a Rubicon.  I have always loved the CJ body style and still do.  I am not proud to sell it, just forced. 

Will show to anyone interested before close of Auction. Sold AS IS

I have added some links to YouTube for videos of the Jeep.  My Father has a 85 Jeep that hew was building at the same time that might be listed also.

Millionth Jeep Wrangler JK to roll off line this morning

Fri, 17 May 2013

According to a report on the Chrysler Communications Facebook page and one fairly grainy image of the production line, at around 11:00AM Eastern this morning, the one-millionth Jeep Wrangler JK will roll out of the company's Toledo assembly plant.
The third-generation or "JK" Jeep Wrangler has been around since the 2007 model year, and has obviously been more popular than ever. With a greater than ever number of trim levels, two-door and four-door Unlimited models and hardy off-roading Rubicon packages, the JK offers more to choose from than ever for those looking for something in a traditional Jeep. In fact, with the modern 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 powering it, the 2012 model year saw more than 140k Wrangers sold here in the US; the best-ever figure for the model.
With a model refresh due out for the Wrangler in 2015 (along with the likely addition of a diesel engine option), we expect that sales will continue to roll right along, too.

You probably won't see FCA's famous Easter eggs on an Alfa Romeo

Thu, Nov 17 2016

They started in Jeeps, with images of seven-slot grilles showing up on windshield edges, the text "SINCE 1941" appearing in the clear plastic of headlight units, and a relief map of Moab engraved into a rubber cubby liner. Then a Chrysler got a map of Detroit and the outline of Laguna Seca materialized near the Viper's window switch. We've come to call them Easter eggs, but Klaus Busse points out that they were never really meant to be secrets, just ways to dress up what he calls "dead plastic." He's nevertheless cool with the phrase being applied and likes the enthusiastic response these design details get. Busse is intimately familiar with many of them, having signed off on many of them in his time as head interior designer for FCA's US operations. He recently moved to Europe to lead Alfa Romeo, Maserati, and Fiat design there, so when I caught up with him next to the new Stelvio crossover at the Alfa stand in LA, I had to ask: Are we going to see any of those neat design details in Alfas or Maseratis anytime soon? The short answer is no. But he didn't say it's out of the question. Busse said if, for example, a designer wanted to put an Italian phrase somewhere on a car that was in keeping with the brand, he would allow it. Although he didn't come out and say it, it seems like he might feel this type of fun design element isn't necessarily appropriate for a higher-end brand like Alfa. And I get that. But I'm still going to check all the compartments of that new Alfa crossover for a map of the Stelvio Pass.
