!!!1984 Jeep Cj-7 With Fuel Injected Chevrolet Vortec 5.3l V-8!!! on 2040-cars
United States
This Jeep was built right! It has a full family style roll cage,
professionally welded to the frame as well as a swing away tire carrier
with a spot for a Jerry can. Both front and back bumpers have receivers
for a 2" Hitch.
The Jeep has a very powerful 5.3L Vortec engine mated to a bulletproof MUNCIE SM465 with a complete rebuild. This is the transmission with the granny low gear perfect for crawling and its Chevy's heavy duty transmission which can take the power of the 5.3. On the back side of that is the DANA 300 connected into the stock axles the AMC20 and Dana 30. Anybody in four-wheeling knows that the DANA 300 is still the premier transfer case for 4x4 applications. This one has been twin sticked so you now have complete control over both axles Hi/Lo/N giving you more capability in the trails. With Warn hubs on the front this Jeep is ready to go. The 4x4 works great and the brakes have just been checked and rebuilt with a replacement of a rear wheel cylinder and seals. They are power brakes with discs up front and drums in the back. The Jeep looks like it is on about a 4" lift and the shocks are Rancho shocks. I just put a brand new steering stabilizer on it and it is driving straight and sitting on 33" Procomp Xterrains in decent shape. Inside the jeep you have a full complement of Autometer gauges in a custom dash as well as a CB radio and a nice Kenwood stereo that plays MP3 discs and also has an AUX input. The Jeep only has half doors and a sunrider top that covers the entire cab. There is no hardtop for this jeep! But the entire inside has been herculined to protect it and provide traction if it gets wet. The seats up front are black off road Suspension seats with four point racing harnesses connected into the roll cage. The back seat only has lap belts and is not shown in the pictures. The jeep has had all of the air handling equipment from the interior removed and does not currently have a wiper motor. But all the other electronics including your headlights, radiator fan, cb, stereo, etc are all wired through a painless wiring system. The body of the jeep does have some imperfections, however, it also has newer paint. It is Royal Blue. The fender flares are custom with plenty of cut-away for the next stages of this build. Overview:
Issues: Body is not 100% straight. The hood has been bent on the drivers side but is not that noticeable unless your looking. Other imperfections exist on the rockers Crack on passenger side of the windshield No Wiper motor or wipers installed No heat or a/c More information on this conversion and others like it at Novak Adapters Why I chose the Muncie 4-Speed The Radiator And here is a personal video of a walk around Here is a video of the engine starting and Running Please contact me with any questions or if you would like any additional photos. I am willing to work with the buyer on setting up shipping if required. |

2015 Ford F-150 named Truck of Texas, Lincoln and Jeep also awarded at Truck Rodeo
Tue, 14 Oct 2014The Ford Motor Company has a lot of reasons to celebrate after winning eight categories in this year's Texas Auto Writers Association's annual Truck Rodeo.

FoMoCo even took trophies for best technology with its extensive use of aluminum on its latest F-Series and best commercial vehicle for the new Transit 250. It wasn't a total sweep, though, because the Jeep Grand Cherokee grabbed the title of the SUV of Texas for the fifth straight time.
This year's event put 60 auto writers in 75 pickups, SUVs and crossovers and challenged them to find the best in a plethora of categories. All of the winners are listed below, and scroll down to read the full announcements from the Texas Auto Writers Association and Ford.
Watch this 840-hp Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 walk away from GT-Rs and M3s
Thu, Dec 11 2014This last-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 does things that SUVs just shouldn't be able to do, like win drag races against tuned Nissan GT-R and BMW M3 coupes. Granted, the owner isn't coming into this fight with a stock Jeep – far from it. In addition to twin turbos whistling away, he says the engine is a 449-cubic-inch V8, which is nearly 7.4 liters of displacement. As it runs here, the driver claims that the turbos are pumping out around 14 psi of boost to give an estimated 840 horsepower. What's more, he further maintains the powertrain could reach around 1,200 hp with things fully cranked up. Even somewhat dialed back, this Jeep is ready to take on a breadth of formidable challengers, including a couple of Chevrolet Corvette models and a Lamborghini Aventador. Check out the video to see how this menacing Grand Cherokee fares in a day at the races.
NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey
Wed, 09 Jan 2013The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.
