1983 Jeep CJ-7 titled, licensed & insured.
$17,500
It's been in two competitions total (Western, IA) and won the big tires class both times against many other nice rigs with bigger tires, tractor tires, Uni-Mog axles, tube buggies etc., so I would say it's a proven vehicle.
Been to Moab once, CO one the way back and a couple places in MO besides Iowa.
Frame off rebuild done about 8 years ago.
Over the course of time, I've probably spent over $35,000 on parts and hundreds and hundreds hours of labor to make this one of the best wheelin' Jeeps around and it is still streetable.
I just drove it to a Cruise night in June.
It would make a plus 75 MPH trip down the Interstate if you wanted to.
Its been wheeled only one time in the last 2 years, so that's the reason for selling.
Probably wheeled about 25 times since frame-off rebuild. Lots of life left in most everything!

Jeep: 4x4ever
Mon, Feb 8 2016Jeep is turning 75 this year, and it seems like the star of the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles brand stable has been making cool ads that run during the Super Bowl almost as long. (Yes, we know this was Super Bowl 50. We're exaggerating.) In this spot, all kinds of active sports and nature stuff that Jeep owners do (or least like other to think they do) is shown with every kind of Jeep, old and new. Here's to another 75 years.

Chrysler defies NHTSA, says it won't recall 2.7M Jeep Grand Cherokee, Liberty models
Wed, 05 Jun 2013Facing a possible recall totaling around 2.7 million of its most popular SUVs, Chrysler remains insistent that the 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty are safe vehicles. This comes on the heels of a recall request from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for these two models due to fuel tanks mounted behind the rear axle, which could possibly be ruptured during severe rear-end collisions, leading to an increased risk of fire. In response to the allegations, Chrysler says that it does not agree with NHTSA nor does it plan on recalling either vehicle.
Chrysler said both SUVs "met and exceeded" the requirements for fuel-system integrity, and cooperated fully with NHTSA since the investigation was opened in 2010. While 15 deaths and 46 injuries have been reported from fires caused by rear-end collisions on these models, Chrysler is claiming that the vast majority of incidents cited by NHTSA were "high-energy crashes," including one where a stopped Grand Cherokee was rear-ended by a tractor trailer going 65 miles per hour.
The automaker wraps up by saying "NHTSA seems to be holding Chrysler Group to a new standard for fuel tank integrity that does not exist now and did not exist when the Jeep vehicles were manufactured." Scroll down for Chrysler's official response to NHTSA, but we're pretty sure this isn't the last we've heard on this issue.
