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

Chrysler adding 200 jobs at Ohio Jeep Wrangler plant

Fri, 15 Mar 2013

Chrysler is betting that the Jeep Wrangler will continue its strong sales surge as it continues to push the legendary brand out across the globe. The Auburn Hills automaker is reportedly adding 200 workers at the Toledo, Ohio plant that builds the Wrangler. What's more, those new hires will be at their posts quickly - they'll be on the job by April 1. Of those 200 workers, 130 employees will be there to relieve those who need breaks.
Why do they need so many relief workers? The Toledo Jeep Complex is currently working at a torrid pace with two ten-hour shifts. A third shift has been ruled out for the moment because of a production botttleneck - the plant's paint shop is already maxed out. According to Reuters, Wrangler production in 2012 cleared 200,000 units, and US sales were up by 16 percent.
Another part of the Toledo plant is presently down as Chrysler retools the line to build Jeep's divisively styled Liberty replacement, the Cherokee (seen in our gallery below). Production for the new model is scheduled to begin toward the end of May.

Jeep rear-mounted fuel tank controversy

Jeep Wrangler Scrambler pickup tailgate spied uncovered

Wed, May 2 2018

Jeep has been particularly good at keeping the upcoming Jeep Wrangler pickup truck, affectionately referred to as Scrambler, under wraps, literally. It's very rare to see any portion of the truck sans bulky black fabric. But this time Jeep slipped up and left the tailgate of the truck totally exposed except for some paint. Not surprisingly, there aren't any spare tire mounts here. Previous photos have shown the spare will be mounted underneath the bed, and we haven't seen any running around with tires on the back. There also aren't any logos stamped into the bed, so presumably Jeep will simply slap badges on the back. The shape is also in keeping with the current Wrangler's design. It's chunky and chiseled, but the edges are softened a bit. It's also less straight-edged than what we've seen in renderings. We're currently expecting the Wrangler pickup to arrive at dealers next year. And now that the last JK Wrangler has been built, the factory should be gearing up for truck production. We know that the truck will feature a longer frame with rear suspension that is similar to the Ram 1500. And like all other Wranglers, the top should be removable.
