GREAT DAILY DRIVER OR EASY RESTORATION PROJECT!
1981 Jeep CJ7 Renegade..Last year of the narrow tracks..258ci 6cyl, BW T18 4spd w/6.0 low gear, Dana 300 T-Case, PS, Hard Top and Bikini Top w/soft half soft doors. This is an unrestored rust free original California CJ7..The body is good with the usual array of small dings and holes drilled through the years for different tops,carriers,handles,speakers etc..The frame and floors are solid..The paint and decals are ok for being 20+ years old but do show wear. The factory rear spare tire carrier has been re-installed as per the pics. New windshield,dash pad,passenger mirror,muffler and fender flairs. The engine is a 258(4.2L) 6cyl that starts and runs great..it has had a carburetor conversion to a Motorcraft 2bbl but otherwise appears to be stock..it does have the usual oil seeps and drips that are common with this era of Jeep. The low geared BW T18 trans and Dana 300 t-case were converted by a previous owner and work fine..clutch hooks good with no chatter. Has add-a-leaves and Confer spring shackles. The rest of the running gear is stock as far as I have found. 3.73 open diffs. Also has winch mount on front. The interior is good driver quality..Front driver seat has been taped on the edge..passenger seats are good with all seat belts still intact..has lockable aftermarket steel center console w/AM-FM CD Stereo mounted in it..all gages work. Carpet is worn and stained,but ok for daily driving. Has original chrome Jeep Wagon Wheels(incl spare)and 33-12.50-15 tires that are only about 20%..Also comes with a set of 4 BFG AT's that are 32/11.50/15's mounted on black spoke wheels,the tires are about 20% also. It was involved in a collision in California in 1991 and has been on a salvage title ever since according to Car Fax..I was not the owner at that time,so am not sure how much damage was done,but I do know it runs and drives great/straight! I've had it up to 65mph and it drove as good and stable as any other CJ I've owned! Can't honestly tell what if any body panels were replaced at the time and the frame and frame horns look great and undamaged. The odometer reads 30000 miles,but I believe that to be 130000 since there is no sixth digit..In Idaho anything that is over 10yrs old is considered exempt on the miles. Please call 208-965-0664(NO TEXTS!)with any questions..Pre-purchase inspections are encouraged and welcomed..please call with questions and assume nothing! This Jeep CJ is a solid unrestored project/daily driver,not restored or perfect!! Jeep can be stored for up to 60 days at no additional charge after purchase and payment is complete..can also assist with shipping options and loading on this end. Thanks! |

Chrysler's Woodward Dream Cruise festivities include Ram concept truck debut
Tue, 13 Aug 2013The streets will be crowded next weekend along Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak, Michigan for the 19th Annual Woodward Dream Cruise. As part of the run-up to the festivities, Chrysler has announced that all of its brands - Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Fiat, SRT and Mopar - will bring along their latest vehicles. Also included will be a collection of classic American cars and various activities for attendees at the official Chrysler location on the corner of Woodward and 13 Mile Road.
Special to this year, Ram brand director Bob Hegbloom and head of design John Dehner will unveil a Ram concept truck on Saturday. Chrysler will also bring Ryan Friedlinghaus of West Coast Customs fame along to show off a few custom Chrysler-made vehicles of his own. Fans of the brand on Facebook will get the chance to virtually customize a vehicle from the automaker's portfolio, with the winner getting their dream car built for them by Chrysler. Pretty cool stuff, no?
As in past years, Ford and General Motors will have an official presence at the event as well, and you can expect to see plenty of cars of all makes and models from all parts of the globe. The madness starts this Friday, August 16, from 4:30 PM to 10 PM, with the main event taking place on Saturday, from 9 AM to 9 PM. For more details on the show, including events and their times, check out the press release below.
Chrysler recalls 468,700 Jeep Grand Cherokees, Commanders over rollaway risk
Mon, 13 May 2013Chrysler has issued a recall covering a combined 469,000 units of the 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the 2006-2010 Jeep Commander (inset). Of that number, 295,000 are in the US, roughly 33,000 in Canada and Mexico and the remainder in other markets. It seems an electrical fault in the transfer case can allow the affected SUVs to shift into neutral on their own, while an Associated Press report says that Chrysler had "found cracks in a circuit board that turns the four-wheel-drive system on and off." The issue was discovered when an owner started his car remotely and it rolled away.
Chrysler is expected to begin notifying owners in June 2013, who can then take their cars to dealers. The dealer will reflash the final drive controller free of charge. There's a bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below with more information.
7 months later, Jeep 'trailer hitch' recall still stalled
Tue, 14 Jan 2014For the past few years, Chrysler and its CEO, Sergio Marchionne, have gone head-to-head with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and its boss, David Strickland, over the government safety agency's request for Chrysler to recall almost three-million Jeep vehicles due to what NHTSA says is a safety issue that has caused at least 51 deaths. After a three-year investigation and Chrysler's initial refusal to issue a recall because it deemed the vehicles safe and built to the day's federal requirements, last summer, the two parties compromised on a "voluntary campaign" to inspect 1.56 million vehicles, those being the 1992 to 1998 Grand Cherokee and 2002 to 2007 Liberty.
Those vehicles were designed with their gas tanks between the rear axle and the bumper, and NHTSA says that in rear-end collisions, damage to the fuel tank has caused fires responsible for those 51 deaths. The compromise reached last summer was that Chrysler would inspect 1.56 million vehicles and, "if necessary, provide an upgrade to the rear structure of the vehicle." Practically speaking, that meant Chrysler would replace aftermarket trailer hitches, but would take no action if a vehicle had a factory-installed hitch or an aftermarket hitch from Mopar.
A report in The Detroit News says the "voluntary campaign" is just now getting under way, with Chrysler saying last week that the design of the replacement part had been finalized and it was tooling up "to deliver the required volume." Seven months later, still in question is whether NHTSA will crash-test the fix engineered by Chrysler, noteworthy because not only did the vehicles in question pass every safety standard necessary to be cleared for sale at the time, there are still questions (to those of us on the outside) as to how the Jeeps at issue fare among their peers in such incidents. Either way, Chrysler and NHTSA apparently still disagree on the efficacy of the remedy itself: the carmaker says it might help in low-speed crashes but not high-speed collisions, a position the NHTSA is at odds with. All of this means the campaign doesn't yet have an end in sight.
