Essex, Connecticut, United States

Offered for your consideration is a 1986 Rolling Chassis which has been painstakingly restored for my own Jeep CJ7 project which I haven't managed to complete. The frame and axles were completely stripped by a combination of sandblasting and wire wheel. Once stripped of all paint and corrosion, the body mounting brackets were all weld reinforced with large flat steel washers. A new rear cross member was installed.  The remainder of the frame was in excellent condition. When the welding was completed and all welds were ground smooth, I carefully sanded all surfaces with a fine grit to prepare a smooth base for a quality paint job.  The frame and axles were protected with POR-15 and then chassis coat black. Both finishes were sprayed on by a professional in a local body shop. Shock towers were removed, refinished and replaced. 

The axles are stock Jeep Dana 30 and AMC 20 and are fitted with new seals, new bearings, new calipers, new cylinders, new rotors front, new Drums rear, new stainless front rotor dust covers, all new brake hardware components, pads, speed bleeders, etc. New Russell stainless braided brake lines. All new stainless pre-bent brake and fuel lines.
Brand new Mickey Thompson MTZ Radials 33 in x 12.5 in mounted on new American Racing Turbo Style polished aluminum rims. (Tires retail for $250.00 ea, Rims $125.00ea)
New Black Diamond Suspension 3.5 inch lift springs mounted with a $470.00 Quadratec brand Wrangler Leaf Spring Conversion with upgraded longer and wider Wrangler springs perched upon heavy duty spring plates with integral skidplates and all heavy duty bracketry.

 CJ Frame has a new M.O.R.E. Mountain Off Road Equipment front spring reversal kit installed with properly welded pivots as well as fully greaseable M.O.R.E. heavy duty shackles. Total suspension lift is 4.5 inches.
All new Rough Country Shocks and steering stabilizer.
All the work is done. Ready to have the engine and transmission installed.

The new parts installed on this chassis add up to $4300.00 not including the frame itself, the original axles, or the numerous man hours invested in this project. This is an incredible opportunity for someone interested in completing a restoration project. The most difficult part of the job has already been completed for you. The fuel tank skid plate sitting in the frame has already been sold and is not included in this listing. Likewise, I have included two photos of my tub for information only. It is not included in this listing. Please try to excuse all of the dust, shadows and reflections in the photos. This chassis is actually much nicer than it appears in the pictures.

I also have many other new parts available as well as a fully restored and painted Wrangler tub, new painted fenders, new painted hood, BestTop Supertop, BestTop Seats, Borla Stainless Header and Cat Back Exhaust, AGR Super Pump and Super Box2, Kentrol Stainless, etc. Let me know your needs.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions.  Thanks, Rich 860-767-0729

Consumer Reports digs Mazda3, disses Jeep Cherokee

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has just rendered its verdict on two of the more important cars to launch this year - the Mazda3 and the Jeep Cherokee. Considering the value a "Recommended" rating carries with the public and the viciously competitive markets these two cars compete in, Consumer Reports' view could have some impact on their initial success.
For Mazda, that's a good thing. CR spoke quite highly of the Zoom-Zoom brand's compact sedan and hatch, testing both models, and citing the excellent fuel economy and snickety-snack manual shifter as high points. Downsides to the 3 included a ride that is agile but "nervous," a bit too much noise and a cramped back seat. Still, the 3 was good enough to earn its place in the ranks of the "Recommended."
The Jeep didn't fare quite so well, with CR calling the polarizing CUV "half-baked." Although both engines were tested, the magazine called the 2.4-liter four-pot underpowered and its nine-speed automatic unrefined and unresponsive. That's particularly damning, considering the 9AT's role in future Chrysler products, including the extremely important 200. Overall, the Cherokee missed out on the coveted "Recommended" rating.

Dodge muscle cars, armored Jeep to star in Furious 7 [w/video]

Wed, Mar 11 2015

We're less than a month away from the smorgasbord of speed, stunts and shooting that is Furious 7, and it arrives in theaters on April 3 as one of the first big films of the year. Starring Fast and Furious regulars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, plus Jason Statham as the big villain, this entry looks to be another exciting addition to the franchise. With such a major movie that features cars as much as the actors, it shouldn't be a surprise that an automaker is getting in on the action as a promotional partner. FCA US supplied nearly 30 vehicles for the film, including prominent roles for a 2015 Dodge Charger, Challenger R/T and armored Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. To really play up the connection, the automaker has laid out a global advertising campaign featuring its models. The marketing includes a variety of unique spots with the cars appearing online and in music videos. Among them in the US is a TV ad called Flash to the Future (embedded below) for the Challenger. Hopefully, Furious 7 can live up to all its pre-release hype. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Choose Your Own Adventure... But Choose Wisely
Jeep has got you covered. We can say this without even having to know what it is you want, because there's hardly an option or configuration that you won't find in the 2014 Grand Cherokee. There are three different engines, three different four-wheel-drive systems (plus rear-wheel drive), four different trim levels - not counting SRT - two different suspension setups and five different settings for various off-road terrain conditions. If you happen to check the box for Quadra-Lift, you'll also have five different ride-height settings for the driver-selectable air suspension.
As you might expect with so many customization possibilities, the way a buyer checks the options sheet can have a profound effect on the final product and its capabilities, to say nothing of its price. Nowhere is that more true than with the Grand Cherokee's choice of engines, with the brand-new 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 stealing the spotlight from the still excellent gasoline-fueled 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and 5.7-liter Hemi V8 powerplants that carry over from last year. No matter which engine you choose, though, it will be paired up with Jeep's new standard eight-speed automatic transmission from ZF. This, ladies and gentlemen, is very good news indeed.
