1986 Jeep Cj7 Restoration - Chevy 350 Conversion on 2040-cars
Charlottesville, Virginia, United States
|
This Jeep is in very good condition and it is going to be hard to find a vehicle like this one for the money. The paint is Viper Red and is in pretty good condition, there are some imperfections in it.
The motor is a Grooms High Performance 350 with 4000 miles and the motor is rated at around 300HP. The motor is running 9.5 to 1 flat top pistons, 280 comp cam, and built 963 heads. The transmission is a 350 turbo with a hurst ratchet shifter in the floor changing the gears. The transfer case is a NP205 with custom shifters to make it easier to go from 2L, 2H, 4L, and 4H... that's right -- four selections :-) The Dana 44 rear axle has been completely rebuilt and runs 4:10 gears with a Detroit TruTrac locker. The Dana 30 front axle also has been completely rebuilt and it also runs 4:10 gears. With this set-up the jeep is running custom driveshafts to the front and rear axles. This Jeep's steering is running a new rebuilt steering box and Flaming River Shaft. Suspension is made up with a 4" SkyJacker Soft Ride lift, custom 1 1/4" body lift, and a 1/2" shackle lift. The shackles are built out of 1/2"x 2 1/2" plate with a 2"x 2" center support. The tires are BRAND NEW 35 x 12.50 Mickey Thompson Baja MTZs running on 15x10 aluminum wheels. To help get your flex on even more in this jeep just undo the sway bar disconnects up front and you're good to go. The interior has Think Jeep front seats and a Bestop Fold and Tumble rear seat, the seat belts are also new and they are 3" racing belts up front and 2" in the rear. The inside of the tub is coated with Hercules roll in bed liner. The Windshield and the windshield gasket is also new. On the body parts there are lots of new parts and they are one-piece fiberglass front end, fender flares, all new Stainless Steel bumpers, windshield and tailgate hinges, mirrors, alum. rocker guards, corners, and half doors, and there are many more new parts that are stainless or alum.. For cover this jeep comes with Hard Top, Hard Doors, and bikini top. The only reason I am selling this jeep is because I have bought another project to build and I can't have that many toys. This jeep has over $20,000 invested in it not counting all of the labor. There are still many new parts on this Jeep that I have not mentioned and everything that I have for a jeep that is not on this one will go with this one. I have parts that I have never taken out of the box for this jeep. ** I would NOT consider this Jeep a daily driver in its current configuration. It is perfectly streetable going to the trails, camping, around town, etc. but it is set up for off-road primarily. |

Lexus gets top brand marks from Consumer Reports; Ford, Jeep hit hard
Tue, 25 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has released its 2014 Car Brand Report Cards, with Lexus again reigning at the top and doing so with the same industry-topping score of 79 that it registered in last year's Report Cards. This year, the institute credited its lineup for being "usually quiet, comfortable, and fuel-efficient," noting it's the only brand on the list "to achieve an excellent average overall reliability score." The Car Brand Report Cars list is meant to rank the best all-around vehicles based on CR testing and reliability results tallied by subscribers it surveyed. Each brand included must have sufficient test and reliability data for at least three models, a standard which left out 11 marques including Fiat, Jaguar, Land Rover and Porsche.
This 2014 Brand Report Cars edition is the first of a new format in which sub-brands have been broken out from their parent brands, with Acura using this year to move up the leaderboard into second place with a score of 75 for its "reliable, well-finished and somewhat sporty models." The top three was rounded out by Audi, climbing from eighth to third by scoring a 74 for "well-crafted interiors, nice handling and good gas mileage." Audi scored highest in the road-test portion, its improved reliability aiding its rise. The top nine was completed by Subaru, Toyota, Mazda, Honda, Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz.
Ford and Jeep weighed in at the other end of the rankings, Jeep taking the lowest overall score in the road tests and hampered by "a mix of spotty reliability." Ford was sunk by reliability issues with its MyFord Touch infotainment system which consumers found troublesome enough to negate its cars earning "solid test scores" for being "very nice to drive." Perhaps the rumored switch from Microsoft to Blackberry's QNX for the next generation SYNC will help them out. Cadillac's score also took a hit for infotainment reasons after it was the leading US brand last year, the CUE system in the XTS dragging Cadillac to the bottom of all General Motors brands.
