Up for sale is my 1977 Jeep CJ7 Renegade with a 304 V8 and a 4 speed transmission.

I spent the last five years restoring this vehicle from the ground up, taking it to the bare frame and bringing it back to its current beauty. The only parts I keep when I tore it down was the frame, the front and rear differentials, the transmission, and the transfer case, everything else is NEW! It has a Dana 30 front axle, a AMC 20 rear axle, a Borg Warner T-18A transmission with granny low, and a DANA 20 transfer case. It has a new body from Willy's Overland with the JEEP stamped into the sides and the tailgate, new stainless dash, new Best Top top with tinted rear windows, new fold and tumble rear seat with headrests, new front seats, new Tuffy console, well new everything! As I stated I have invested five years and a very large amount of money into this project so if it sells it will not sell cheap. I also upgraded the roll bar to the "Family Bar" which came from a 92-95 Wrangler and allows the rear passengers to have shoulder belts instead of the factory rear lap belts. It has true dual exhaust with dual catalytic convertors so if you have emissions testing in your area it will pass no problem.

The Process:

I started by taking this Jeep apart done to the absolute bare frame, I then sandblasted and painted the frame with four coats of Por-15 Chassis Black, I replaced all shocks, brake lines, brake parts, suspension and body bushings, fuel lines, fuel tank and internal parts, I installed all new steering parts to include a new steering box and shaft. I had the front and rear differentials rebuilt professionally, the transmission rebuilt professionally, and had a new ATK Power Torque engine installed by the local Jeep dealer. New radiator, hoses, belts, all ignition parts were as well replaced, the only original part left in the engine compartment is the wiring harness. Before installing the new body I sealed the cowl panel and used two coats of Herculiner (bed liner) and two coats of Por-15 Chassis Black on all body parts not painted red, this includes the entire underside of the body, the inner fender wells, the firewall, and the interior floorboards. I then installed the new body from Willy's Overland, with new fenders, tailgate, windshield frame, and hood, it was professionally painted by a local body shop. New custom made bumpers were powder coated and installed. A totally new interior was installed using Best Top Seats, front are reclining bucket seats with new brackets, the rear is a fold and tumble Best Top seat as well. All new seatbelts were installed, new carpet, and a Tuffy High Security Console were installed. For sound I went with a Kenwood HD Cd player, two Alpine dash speakers, and two Alpine 6 x9 speakers in Roll Bar boxes behind the rear seat, the cd player has a remote which is great to keep control of the tunes while driving a manual transmission. It has a new Best Top soft top with all new hardware and tinted rear windows. No expense was spared during the build of this vehicle, I am selling because I want to, not because I have to, the Jeep currently has a great life resting comfortably in my garage, since the build it has not been driven in anything but sunny weather.



The bad: the speedometer does not work accurately, cable is new, the head spins free, not sure what it is,

That is all I can think of, this vehicle is for sale AS IS, Where Is, I will provide a clean title, and a receipt book with all the receipts from the build, it is a 3 inch binder that is overflowing.

2013 AEV Brute Double Cab

Fri, 11 Jan 2013

These are the guys who bring an M777 howitzer to a knife fight. In terms of overall rugged utility, the all-new 2013 Brute Double Cab from American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) is about as overkill as they come, and we can't seem to get enough of the beasts that this company produces. Unlike most aftermarket firms, always striving to lower cost and increase volume (but at the expense of quality), Michigan-based AEV takes pride in its OEM-quality design, engineering, manufacturing and testing. Everything is as good, or better, than the stuff from the factory, and they have been doing it this way for more than 15 years.
Launched at the recent 2012 SEMA show was the 2013 AEV Brute Double Cab. Its debut marked the company's expansion to a four-door Brute on the newer JK platform (drawing inspiration from the Land Rover Defender 130). I recently spent a few hours with the new truck in sunny Southern California, though unfortunately, due to time constraints, I was limited to pavement-only driving impressions.

Chrysler recalls 468,700 Jeep Grand Cherokees, Commanders over rollaway risk

Mon, 13 May 2013

Chrysler has issued a recall covering a combined 469,000 units of the 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the 2006-2010 Jeep Commander (inset). Of that number, 295,000 are in the US, roughly 33,000 in Canada and Mexico and the remainder in other markets. It seems an electrical fault in the transfer case can allow the affected SUVs to shift into neutral on their own, while an Associated Press report says that Chrysler had "found cracks in a circuit board that turns the four-wheel-drive system on and off." The issue was discovered when an owner started his car remotely and it rolled away.
Chrysler is expected to begin notifying owners in June 2013, who can then take their cars to dealers. The dealer will reflash the final drive controller free of charge. There's a bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below with more information.

Fiat Chrysler target 850k sales in China by 2018

Sun, 11 May 2014

Behind the vanguard of numerous Jeep models, two Chryslers, a smattering of Fiats and Alfa Romeos and local production through a joint venture with Guangzhou Automotive Group (GAG), Fiat Chrysler wants to increase sales in China more than six-fold by 2018. The group sold 130,000 cars in China in 2013, the aim for 2018 being 850,000 cars.
Ultimately it's expected that the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Cherokee, Wrangler, Renegade, the coming Grand Wagoneer and a sub-Renegade-sized crossover will either be built in or exported to the People's Republic. The Chrysler Town & Country and 300 will join the export list in 2016 and 2018 respectively, according to a report in Automotive News.
With a number of those vehicles not in production or perhaps even envisaged yet, and others not due on the local market until 2018, it will be interesting to see how Fiat Chrysler plans to achieve the target in the specified timeframe. The joint venture with GAG builds two products now, the Dodge Dart-based Fiat Viaggio launched two years ago - supposedly designed just for China - and the just-launched Fiat Ottimo, a hatchback version of the Viaggio. Fiat projected 300,000 Viagio sales in its first two years, that number has been adjusted downward to 94,000 and there doesn't appear to be an analyst alive that sees a good future for Fiat in China's overrun mainstream market. Still, last year's 130,000 group sales in China is a huge jump from 2012 sales of 66,000 units, but less than half the 300,000 units it projected.
