1976 Jeep Cj7 Cj-7 - Frame Off Resto-mod on 2040-cars
Year:1976
Mileage:999999
Location:
Goose Creek, South Carolina, United States
|
Great classic Jeep for on or off road. Equipped to go anywhere you point it. 1976 was the first year of the CJ-7 and this one has been torn down and re-assembled about 4 years ago with new or refurbished parts. The engine, transmission and transfer case remain factory with some upgrades. The frame and body are rust free and are in excellent shape. This jeep has been driven a good bit since then so there is a few oil leaks, but nothing major. I don't have an accurate mileage, but likely less than 1000 miles per year. There are so many upgrades that I have done, I will probably miss some. Engine - 258 (4.2L) I-6 with Motocraft 2100 2bbl carb and HEI ignition Transmission -- T-18A 4-speed manual with very desirable 6.32:1 granny gear Transfer Case -- Dana 20 Rear Axle -- AMC 20 with Front Axle -- Dana 30 with Lock Right locker & 3.54 gears Steering: New steering gear box, with M.O.R.E. HD steering box mount and brace, HD tie rod & draglink (1 ton ends) flipped to the top of the steering knuckles for clearance, and dropped pitman arm to correct steering geometry. This Jeep does not wander on the road even without steering stabilizers. Suspension -- Springs are 6" YJ springs from Rough Country with custom front long travel shocks. One leaf from each spring pack was removed to lower the Jeep some since the Jeep was higher than desired, but can be reinstalled easily. Wheels/Tires -- The wheels are 15x8 factory Jeep CJ 8-spoke wheels wrapped in 35x12.50R15 BFG Mud Terrain KM tires. The spare is the same, but All-Terrain tire mounted to a heavily reinforced factory spare tire carrier. Body -- Body was stripped and repaired of any rust (rust was minor since the Jeep was originally a Texas Jeep) and sprayed OD Green on the outside and a DIY Dupli Color Bed Armor liner applied to the interior. The roll bar is a "family cage" from a 95 Wrangler and an OR-Fab front cage was welded in to protect the front. The fenders were trimmed to fit factory TJ flares to clear the tires at full compression. The front fenders were trimmed additionally to create the "flat fender" look on the front. The front and rear bumpers are custom fabricated and are extremely heavy duty. The front bumper has provisions for a drum style winch. Smittybilt rock sliders were added for side protection Interior -- Front seats are Smittybilt seats. Driver side seat has damage from me getting in and out, but is repairable. The rear seat is a factory fixed back seat. The rear seat has shoulder harness seat belts due to the "family cage" but the front is only lap belts but has provisions for shoulder harnesses. The dash is a custom fiberglass dash that I designed and fabricated and contains all appropriate gauges along with a Marine radio and speakers. Everything works and there are no lingering issues that need to be addressed. On Mar-18-14 at 07:32:08 PDT, seller added the following information: Great classic Jeep for on or off road.

Edit: 3/18 Forgot to mention a few things about the Jeep. The only "issue" with the Jeep is that the release bearing for the clutch is starting to squeak when the clutch is released in neutral. Otherwise, there are no issues preventing it from being driven. Another item I forgot to clarify is that the Jeep does have power steering, but not power brakes. Don't let that fool you though. The front brakes are disc and the rear are the large 1" drums. With the stainless steel brake hoses, it is a very firm pedal and it may take a little more foot pressure, but it will stop on a dime if needed. This Jeep is also for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early. Buyer is responsible for any and all applicable shipping charges and or any taxes that are required.

FCA recalling 63k Jeeps, Vipers and Ram ProMaster City vans
Thu, Apr 23 2015Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has announced a pair of recalls cover nearly 63,000 vehicles. The bigger of the two actions covers manual-transmission-equipped vehicles from 2006, including the Jeep Liberty and Wrangler, as well as the Dodge Viper. FCA engineers uncovered that the clutch ignition interlock switches use a kind of wire that was part of a previous recall campaign. Because of this, the company said that affected vehicles may not start, although in rare cases, "if recommended starting procedures are not followed," the affected vehicles may lurch forward after turning the key. Those recommended starting procedures "include activating the parking brake, placing the shift lever in neutral and pressing the clutch pedal before turning the vehicle's ignition key." Recall number two affects the company's 2015 Ram ProMaster City cargo and passenger vans. Owners will need to report to dealers to have a piece of tape removed from the side-curtain airbags. The tape is added during assembly and in some cases, may not have been removed. That could prevent the airbags from deploying in the event of a crash. Just under 59,000 vehicles are included in the first recall, including 43,874 in the United States, 11,309 outside of North America, 2,944 in Canada and 706 in Mexico. The ProMaster City recall includes just over 3,900 vehicles. FCA claims it's unaware of any injuries, fatalities or accidents related to either recall and will perform repairs free of charge. Scroll down for the official press release on both campaigns. Related Video: Statement: Clutch Ignition Interlock Switch April 23, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is launching a voluntary recall of an estimated 43,874 older-model U.S.-market cars and SUVs equipped with manual transmissions. The Company will replace their clutch ignition interlock switches at no charge to customers. The action follows an investigation by FCA US engineers that discovered these vehicles are equipped with switches that contain a certain type of wire implicated in a previous campaign. The wire, which was temporarily substituted by a supplier for the specified material, may break. As a result, the vehicles may not start, and in rare cases – if recommended starting procedures are not followed – a vehicle may exhibit unintended movement when its ignition key is turned. FCA US is unaware of aware of any related injuries or accidents involving this population of vehicles.
