1986 Jeep Cj7 4x4 5 Speed on 2040-cars
Riverside, California, United States
|
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. http://youtu.be/HP8Zy_7gEaA http://youtu.be/HP8Zy_7gEaA |

Chrysler 3.0L EcoDiesel V6: Autoblog Technology of the Year finalist
Wed, 19 Nov 2014Offering a diesel engine in an American pickup is anything but new - Ford, General Motors and Chrysler all offer excellent and almost impossibly powerful oil-burning engines in their various fullsize trucks. What is new and novel about the 3.0L EcoDiesel, though, is its size, and the variety of vehicles that use it. It's the smallest engine, as far as displacement is concerned, currently offered in a large truck in the US, and, for 2014 and 2015, it is available in the Ram 1500 and the Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Though it may be small, it's got muscle. While 240 horsepower isn't particularly impressive these days, the engine's 420 pound-feet of torque more than makes up for that. The torque rating is even greater force than even the big 5.7-liter Hemi can muster. Chrysler's well-regarded eight-speed automatic transmission makes the most of all that bull-headed pulling power in both the Ram and Grand Cherokee. Chrysler claims the Ram EcoDiesel 1500 can tow as much as 9,200 pounds when properly equipped, which makes it "90-percent of the Hemi with a night and day difference in fuel economy."
Make no mistake; it's that promise of a sizable fuel economy improvement that many long-haul truckers will be most interested in. In the Ram 1500 that we tested for our Tech of the Year competition, the diesel engine costs $2,850 more than the gas-fed V8, and Ram estimates that EcoDiesel buyers will pay off their investment when compared to the Hemi engine in less than three years, which is considerably less time than the 4.5 or so years the average buyer will keep his or her fullsize pickup. The more you drive, the more you'll save, and the math proves equally as effective in the Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Stellantis suspends vehicle production in Russia
Tue, Apr 19 2022MILAN - Stellantis on Tuesday said it was suspending production at its Russian plant due to logistical difficulties and sanctions imposed on Moscow. The world's fourth-largest automaker, which produced and sold the Peugeot, Citro¸n, Opel, Jeep, and Fiat brands in Russia, has just 1% of the country's car market. It runs a van-making plant in Kaluga, around 125 miles (201 kilometres) southeast of Moscow, co-owned with Japanese carmaker Mitsubishi, which halted production at the facility earlier this month. "Given the rapid daily increase in cross sanctions and logistical difficulties, Stellantis has suspended its manufacturing operations in Kaluga to ensure full compliance with all cross sanctions and to protect its employees," Stellantis said in a statement. The plant employs 2,700 people. The company will continue to pay salaries through a local downtime scheme and by using anticipated vacation periods, Stellantis told Reuters. It said it did not know how long the stoppage would last, adding that its priority was its staff and the return of peace. Stellantis had already suspended all exports and imports of vehicles with Russia, following Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, moving production to western Europe. It had also said it was freezing plans for more investments in the country. Van production in Kaluga had remained just for the local market. Scores of foreign companies have announced temporary shutdowns of stores and factories in Russia or said they were leaving the country for good since Russia began what it calls "a special military operation" in Ukraine on Feb. 24. Stellantis Chief Executive Carlos Tavares in late March said the group would have to close the Kaluga plant shortly as it was running out of parts. Separately on Tuesday, General Motors Co said it was extending its suspension of business in Russia due to the conflict and international sanctions. The U.S. automaker, which initially suspended imports into Russia and commercial activity on Feb. 28, said it was laying off most of its 66 employees and providing them with separation packages. GM does not have plants in Russia and only sold about 3,000 vehicles annually there prior to the suspension.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
