Cj7 Renegade Custom Rebuild Amc 304 V8, 35" Tsl-sx, Full Roll Cage, Runs Great! on 2040-cars

1984 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade, Runs Great, Clear Title. No Reserve!

Must be picked up by July 30, 2014. More Pics coming soon, I got rained out. If I get a bid and can't add photos tomorrow, I can email my better pics with the top and doors off.

  Summary (details below): 133k miles on the odometer/body, & approx. 40K on V8 engine and drivetrain since rebuild. California Jeep for most of its life so only minor surface rust in a few places (cleans right up), zero corrosive rust. AMC 304 V8, 5 Super Swamper TSL SX 35x15.5x15 tires at least 80% tread (I’ll measure). Spare is new/unused & on wheel. Black steel wheels, full custom powder coated roll cage, 14 & 10 bolt axles (STRONG) with 4 wheel disk brakes, HD high steer & tie rods, & full SOA conversion. Body and interior are in great shape and frame is perfect. Paint is showing age but in a good way. I used it as my daily driver and for mild off road, like construction sites and trails, easy stuff (seriously, my back is sensitive). It’s capable and will enjoy tackling much more. Very stable ride (CJ5’s and stock 7’s are too narrow & tippy, this one is wider), tow hitch & harness. Hardtop (no cracks), hard doors (locks, handles & windows work), Bikini top. Upgraded vinyl seats (no tears, great cushion, matching). Needs a new steering box (see below, has HD steering bracket and new joints). CJ-7 is from CA, spent a few month in FL, and since 2005 I’ve owned it in TN.

 Engine Upgrades: Amc 304 V8, rebuilt and upgraded. BRAND NEW 600cfm Edelbrock 1405 carburetor and air cleaner (both with packaging, receipt & warranty), Edelbrock Performer intake manifold, large HD aluminum radiator, headers, performance rocker arms & ignition coil. Internals are probably upgraded also, I never tore it down. Extremely powerful, expensive upgrades, starts immediately. Idles and revs smooth as can be. Reliable. Great oil pressure, always used performance oil and filters & 3,000mi changes. The engine was swapped by a previous owner in CA, I did some upgrades. The valve covers are leaking a little, they were over torqued. If you like the clean look it could use a polish.

  Drivetrain: Tremec T176 4 speed manual transmission w/ rock shifter. Clutch & throwout bearing upgraded (~10k mi). Dana 300 Transfer case, rear CV driveshaft w/ HD U-joints. Axles: GM 14 bolt rear, 10 bolt front (both w/ disk brakes), traction control, 4.11 gears, Mile Marker supreme locking hubs, front 4x4 just needs front driveshaft and Tcase lever. I lost the cotter pin, then lever (might find but if you bring, we can install). Tcase engages properly. Comes with pair of new BDS-suspension 2.5” front lift springs w/ blue bushings (expensive, lifetime warranty, not yet installed). All suspension lift, no body lift. Most of the suspension and drivetrain work was done by a Jeep mechanic in TN. It’s about time for new diff oil and gaskets (7oz. Permatex RightStuff included).

  What it needs: Mufflers (my flowmasters were stolen, everyone has a muffler preference so I’ll leave the replacement up to you) & requires new steering box. Everything else is operational. All other steering and suspension is fine, but the steering box is binding and should be replaced/upgraded.  Drives & brakes, but steering is too difficult for traffic, I drove it some today (very hard to steer but sort of possible). Because of this, Jeep should be trailered home (requires wide base trailer or rollback) and is not quite highway ready. I prefer you pick it up but If need be, I could help arrange a tow, up to 100mi using my AAA. Delivery would be final and require meeting me & purchasing before the tow (you can ride with tow truck or follow). When you’re ready for 4x4, it needs a front driveshaft but everything else is fine. I’m out of money or I would upgrade the box and front driveshaft myself.

 Interior: Full sound system. Alpine 9847 mp3/cd player (not installed but works), polk audio speakers, 2 MTX 10” subs in boxes, 700w Bazooka amp (amp has protection mode issue). Most dash gauges and knobs work, including speedo gauges, wipers, lights, voltmeter, fan, oil pressure etc. Seat belts work. No horn, small center console. Loud speaker and spare rear lift gate included.

 Exterior: Renegade decals in good shape, paint is chipped but not worn out. Front passenger fender is slightly dented and rear passenger brake light is cracked (works). Driver’s side windshield bracket is cracked but holds. Basically, I don’t wash my CJ very often…It’s awesome the way it is.

I’ve owned it since 2005. Clean title and carfax. If you're interested in this quality rare jeep, please bid and send me a message. A true joy to own, this jeep still has it's soul. A really fun vehicle, so many great memories. Day or night inquiries are fine. Just serviced by professional mechanic shop this week, they replaced the distributor points and checked everything over. This jeep isn't perfect and I wasn't finished upgrading, but it's strong and doesn't need much for frequent trail excursions or for daily driving.

Amazing tires, powerful/reliable engine, solid metal. It’s a built and capable CJ-7 Renegade!
