Up for sale is a nice barn find Jeep CJ7. It has been sitting under a shade tree for a few years and its alive again ready for someone to love it. I recently just put about $2000 in it. Heres some of the new parts: Tires(31x10.50x15), brake booster, cap, rotor, plugs wires, hoses, front brakes, shift boot, door handles, defroster duct, all new fluids, and more. I put front seats out of a YJ in it with seat covers. I will throw in the original front seats which match the back seat, which is very nice. Title says box B so I am unsure if the miles are original, but they could be.
Under the hood is a 258 6 cylinder engine with all the smog equipment on and functioning. It is matched up to a 3 speed transmission, and of course a transfer case with high and low. This Jeep features Warn hubs, power brakes, with disc in the front, power steering, air conditioning (works like a champ!), heater, and front and rear driving lights.
The AC works, the heater and defroster work, all lights work*, turn signals work, wipers, work, the air horn works, yes AIR HORN!, 4X4, works, gas gauge works, speedo works, oil pressure gauge works, volt gauge works, temp gauge works. Front and rear driving lights. Tinted windows on the hardtop. Factory rollbar. Comes with Chilton manual. The oil pressure at start up is 60 psi, drives at 40-60 psi, and idles at 20psi.
There is very little that does not work on this rig! Here it is as best as I can describe it: *The high beam indicator light does not work. The high and low beams work, just no blue indicator light on the dash, probably a bulb. The dash is held on buy two stylish straps! I don't have the key for the rear hatch. Very slight lean on the left rear. It runs a little rough when its cold, (probably due to the smog equipment) but purrs like a kitten when its warm. This has been an Arizona rig for many years but there is a little rust on it, but not much. You have to hunt to find it. The carpet is not the greatest. I have not messed with the sunroof at all. No radio. I put the driving light toggle switches in that spot and there is room to add 2 or 3 more switches. Does it leak? Of course it does, its a Jeep!
If you want I will throw in the original soft top and doors and frame. The windows are yellowed and have been chewed up a little but you can have them if you want. It is white and I have never installed it.
I drive this Jeep to work 4 days a week, 35 miles each way, over a mountain. Im at 3500 feet, the mountain is 7000 feet. It drives smooth and quiet and gets around 15mpg. Keep in mind this is a 1979 so it has a personality but overall its a wonderful classic collectible Jeep. It is pretty much stock too. Tires have less than 1000 miles on them. I welcome questions.
I wont ship it but if you coordinate shipping and pay for it I will assist any way I can. $500 paypal deposit due immediately and is non refundable, even if you change your mind. The rest of the money is due within a week and can be cash, check, or money order. I can store the Jeep for a while too if you want.

FCA recalls 1.1 million vehicles worldwide due to confusing shifter
Fri, Apr 22 2016Fiat Chrysler is recalling 1.1 million vehicles worldwide to address the problematic shifter used on cars with eight-speed automatic transmissions. The issue is that the console-mounted shifter acts like a rocker switch and always returns to the middle position after moved. This has been deemed confusing to drivers – confusing enough to cause some to exit their vehicles without first selecting Park and leading to the car rolling away. FCA says 41 injuries are related to the shifter problem, and no evidence of equipment failure has been found. The company will enhance warning chimes and alter the shift strategy, meaning alert messages will be displayed in case the driver door is opened while the engine is running. With the door open, the transmission will prevent the car from moving even if Park is not selected. The affected vehicles are certain model-year 2012–2014 Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 sedans, as well as model-year 2014–2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs, an estimated 811,586 US vehicles in total. The recall also affects 52,144 vehicles in Canada, 16,805 in Mexico, and 248,667 vehicles elsewhere. The shifter is used with ZF-designed and ZF-built eight-speed automatic; Audi uses a similar shifter setup in some of its vehicles, including the current-generation, which predated Chrysler's use of it. Chrysler uses a different, a rotating-dial-type shifter on eight-speed-equipped Rams. The company moved away from the problem shifter design in 2015 for the Charger and 300, and the Grand Cherokee's shift lever was modified for 2016. Owners of affected vehicles will be notified of the recall when service is available. Fiat Chrysler urges customers to follow the instructions in the vehicle's owner's manual in the meantime.

Jeep in St. Louis hacked from Pittsburgh
Tue, Jul 21 2015One of America's most popular vehicles contains a security flaw that allows hackers to remotely commandeer it from anywhere on the planet. Cyber-security researchers Chris Valasek and Charlie Miller say they've accessed critical vehicle controls on a 2014 Jeep Cherokee that allowed them to remotely control critical vehicle functions like braking, transmission function, and steering. Automakers have downplayed the possibility a car could be remotely compromised, but the significance of the findings detailed Tuesday could cause them to reevaluate the threats posed to hundreds of thousands of vehicles already on the road. A key finding – the pair needed no physical access to the Jeep to pull off the attack. Valasek and Miller accessed the controls via a security hole in the Sprint cellular connection to Chrysler's UConnect infotainment system. In the course of their research, Valasek sat in his Pittsburgh home and remotely manipulated Miller's Jeep as he drove along a highway outside St. Louis. If you know a car's IP address, they say, a hacker could control it from anywhere. "We didn't add anything, didn't touch it," Valasek told Autoblog. "A customer could drive one of these things off a lot, and they'd have no clue it had these open attack surfaces." Remotely, he disabled brakes, turned the radio volume up, engaged windshield wipers and tampered with the transmission. Further, they could conduct surveillance on the Jeep, measuring its speed and tracking its whereabouts. They conducted the experiments over multiple breaches. They made their findings public on the same day the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the federal agency in charge of vehicle safety, released its latest report on the readiness of government and automakers to fend off these sorts of cyber attacks. Later today, two US Senators are expected to introduce legislation that would help consumers better understand the potential risks of car hacking. In the early stages of their research, Valasek and Miller found a security flaw in the car's wi-fi that allowed them to remotely manipulate controls from a range of about three feet. But in recent months, they found another vulnerability in the Sprint cellular connection in the UConnect system. That was a key breakthrough. "Lo and behold, we found we could communicate with this thing using cellular, and then more research, and 'Holy cow,' we're using the Sprint network to communicate with these vehicles," Valasek said.
This American Life spends a week selling Jeeps in Long Island
Thu, 19 Dec 2013So you think you know car dealers? Well, maybe you do, but This American Life spent a month at Town and Country Jeep Chrysler Doge Ram in Long Island to give us a behind-the-scenes look (or listen, since it's a radio program) at what it's like to be a car dealer.
Yes, there's a lot of swearing in thick New York accents, frustration, confusion, and generally it's a madhouse at the dealership. But that's understandable when the sales staff has to sell 129 vehicles in October in order to get an $85,000 manufacturer bonus - with several other Jeep dealerships within a 10-mile radius.
The episode, 129 Cars, is worth a listen, but make sure you have 71 minutes to spare if you want to get through it in one sitting. Head here for the unedited version or here for the bleeped version (which is 58 minutes long).
