1986 Jeep Cj7 Special Edition Sport Utility 2-door 4.2l 4wd on 2040-cars
United States
This is a great original 1986 Jeep CJ7 ready for summer fun or an
ideal candidate for a restoration. 1986 was the last year for the venerated
Jeep CJs and this is an awesome clean example of the ultimate 4WD. It is original and unmolested, without the problems you see from
hard off-roading, questionable lift jobs and other mods, ready for you to make it what you want. It has the
bulletproof inline 6 engine, a 4 speed manual transmission that shifts smoothly, the
rare and highly desirable factory Dana 44 rear axle, and a Dana 300 transfer case - widely acknowledged as the best Jeep ever used. This CJ7 has been garaged most of its life and is a reliable daily driver if needed - I
recently drove it on a 1200 mile weekend cross country trip with no
concerns and no problems. There are a few spots with a little rust, but
both the frame and tub are in great shape for an almost 30 year old
vehicle. Additional features include:
- new Bestop soft top installed in October 2013 - clean, damage free interior - nearly new 31" A/T tires with lots of tread - carb rebuilt in 2013 - starts every time and runs great - new exhaust installed in 2013 - new battery installed in 2013 - includes a bikini top in addition to the installed soft top |

Supplier says Jeep Cherokee hack only affects FCA cars
Wed, Aug 5 2015Harman doesn't think that drivers need to worry about any further hacks of its products. The company supplies FCA's Uconnect infotainment system where a software vulnerability is responsible for a 1.4-million vehicle recall. "This experimental hack is unique to Chrysler," Harman CEO Dinesh Paliwal said to Automotive News. "This does not exist, to our assessment, in any other vehicle." The reason that the company wouldn't be involved is that automakers aren't simply plugging in the existing infotainment systems into new vehicles. According to Paliwal, Harman supplies the unit, but FCA and other automakers are able to make additional modifications for their vehicles. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has also recently taken up the question of broader software vulnerabilities in Harman's products. On July 29, the agency began investigating the company to check for similarities between Uconnect and the infotainment systems supplied to other automakers. The Jeep hack became national news when two researchers were remotely able to take control of a Cherokee. The vulnerability in the cellular connection even gave control over the brakes. "Once people get in the car and get into the CAN bus, then you can start to mimic and mess up many, many things in the car," Paliwal said to Automotive News. Politicians immediately responded with legislation to create federal standards in hopes of protecting drivers better. NHTSA also opened an investigation to make sure the automaker's software update actually solved the problem. Related Video:
Consumer Reports digs Mazda3, disses Jeep Cherokee
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Consumer 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.
