This is a 1977 CJ-7 Jeep.  I have a clean title and am the sole owner of this Georgia / Virginia vehicle, that is now in California.  Started a ground up restoration 14-years ago.  However, my priorities have changed since then (wife, house, three kids - you get the idea...), thus its time to let her go (the Jeep that is).  The vehicle has never sat outside - 100% garaged since start of restoration.  If you are not mechanically inclined, or don't have restoration/customization experience, then this is NOT the vehicle for you!

 

I have personally sandblasted and worked on every inch of this vehicle, replaced the minimal rust spots, smoothed primed and painted the frame with high-gloss black Imron paint.  It shines!  All the frame seams have been smoothed with seam sealer – this part is show ready!


The body is solid, no rust.  Undercoated and various panels replaced.  There is some filler on the cowl and engine bay that should be replaced (not my best work here).  Also, it appears that some rust has bled through the seams on the front passenger side of body (ugh, see photos).  I would rework these areas, otherwise, very smooth.  The defroster, heater, top holes, door holes have all been filled for a smoother look.

 

Dana 20 rear with 3.54 gears.  Completely rebuilt and has axle truss.  New one piece rear axles with four wheel disc brake conversion kit from SSBC.  Stainless steel brake lines, Rancho 9000 shocks.  Looks brand new!

 

It has a Sky Jacker 4” lift kit with new poly body mounts.  Heavy duty shackles. All rubber components replaced with red poly.

 

Warn front and rear bumpers, with one Mickey Thompson Baja II wheel with a BFG A/T 33 x 12.50 spare on Warn oversized tire carrier. Currently sits on old restoration tires.

 

Custom diamond plate dash with battery cut off switch (no key ignition), all Auto Meter electronic gauges, new speedo.  It has a Flaming River tilt wheel column, new steering shaft and Grant Steering wheel. Heavy Duty AGR steering box and bracing.  New steering linkage, steering stabalizer, etc.

 

 

Iron Horse high back bucket seats with racing harnesses, new bikini top, carpet, and role bar padding, center console.Most every bolt on the vehicle is stainless steel.  Diamond plate gas and brake pedals, as well as trans tunnel cover. KC Lights, and new stainless side view mirrors, and backup lights.

 

Fiberglass one piece front end that tilts forward – this is an amazing feature. Custom diamond plate trim pieces, fiberglass windshield frame and new windshield (not installed).  All new exterior trim / lights, etc.

 

Front is a fully rebuilt Dana 30 with all new front disc brakes, stainless steel brake line extensions and new warn hubs..  Again, every piece of metal has been replaced or sandblasted, primed and painted with the same high-gloss black Imron paint.  Also has matching front axle truss.

 

 

Set up for Ford 302 motor with custom radiator bracing with high-flow aluminum Quick Flow radiator.  Hella horns, electric dual fans.   Has high flow fuel pump, new gas lines, etc.

 

This vehicle, while far along still has a ways to go.  It needs an Engine, Transmission, transfer case, wiring harness and four wheels and tires and minor body work and paint to make it a real head turner.

 

I will entertain serious offers only.  You will need to arrange transport from my home.  The vehicle obviously does not run and therefore will cost more when transporting by professional hauler.   I have hundreds of hours of labor and well over $25K into this vehicle.  Its time someone finishes the job. 


Please call me or email me with any questions.  Gary 805-259-5310  gmilgram@sbch.org

Chrysler's Jefferson North plant builds 5-millionth SUV [w/video]

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

Chrysler's Jefferson North Assembly Plant opened in 1992 for production of the first Jeep Grand Cherokee, but in the subsequent years, the Detroit plant has gone on to produce some of the company's biggest SUVs including the Jeep Commander and Dodge Durango. Earlier this week, the plant produced its five-millionth SUV, which, fittingly, was a Grand Cherokee.
Celebrating the plant's five-millionth unit, the silver 2014 Grand Cherokee was promptly donated to the USO. In addition to this milestone SUV, Chrysler also had a near-perfect 1993-95 ZJ Grand Cherokee on hand for the photo op. Scroll down for the Chrysler press release as well as a video showing some of the speeches from the celebration.

Chrysler investigating complaints of vehicles with faulty power modules

Sun, 24 Aug 2014

Chrysler owners are hopping mad after experiencing a series of electrical gremlins in some of the company's vehicles. Issues range from mere annoyances - windows rolling down and radios turning off of their own accord - to serious safety issues, with headlights that randomly shut off at night and cars that stall and refuse to start.
The issues are being blamed on the total integrated power module, which can cost up to $1,000 for customers to replace. This, of course, has led to a hefty batch of complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with 240 owners expressing their displeasure so far. Another site, CarComplaints.com, has registered over 300 complaints relating to the 2010 to 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango, alone, according to The New York Times.
Chrysler has acknowledged that it's investigating the complaints and is analyzing the faulty TIPMs, but that isn't quite enough for customers of the affected vehicles. The newspaper has snagged a few of the more harrowing tales with the electrically challenged Chrysler products, culled from the NHTSA complaints.

Jeep Cherokee joins Altitude trim line

Wed, 22 Jan 2014

Jeep fans spoke up last year by naming the Altitude trim level, and the automaker rewarded them with an assortment of cool Jeeps sporting a sinister, blacked-out appearance. Joining the ranks of Jeep models offering an Altitude trim level is the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, and this might be the best looking of the new Cherokees - including the Trailhawk.
Like the previous versions of this model, the 2014 Cherokee Altitude adds black wheels and exterior trim and molding, and it's only offered in four colors: black, silver, white and granite (shown above). You definitely have to love the look of the black accents since the Altitude raises the Cherokee's price by $2,000 to a starting MSRP of $24,995 (not including destination). Jeep says that the 2014 Cherokee Altitude is a limited-edition model, but there is no mention of any specific production figures.
Joining the new Cherokee Altitude are the updated versions of the Grand Cherokee Altitude and Wrangler Altitude with similar limited color combinations and pricier MSRPs starting at $35,290 and $31,595, respectively. These three new Altitude models will go on sale this spring joining the Compass Altitude and Patriot Altitude, which are on sale now. Scroll down for more info on the updated 2014 Jeep Altitude lineup.
