You are looking at my 1980 cj-7. It still has 95% of its original factory paint. Original decals, carpet, seats and top. This jeep only has 77,826 miles on it. The body has normal rust spots but still very solid. The rear frame rails have been boxed with 1/8 inch steel. They had some rust as is typical for cj jeeps. The interior is very nice with only the passenger seat bottom showing wear. Both front seats have adjusting backs. Carpet and dash pad are nice. The soft top is showing its age with a few holes and 2 bad zippers (1 on rear window & 1 on door window). This jeep was originally a 6cyl automatic. Trans was bad when I purchased it. I replaced the engine / trans / transfer case with 1986 Chevrolet suburban items. Engine is a 350 with 4 barrel, trans is 700r4 (with overdrive) and transfer is 208 (I think). Engine and trans have around 20,000 miles on rebuild. I bought a rusted out suburban just for these items. Engine does not burn any oil. Engine has a new starter, and fuel pump. I purchased the conversion engine mounts, aluminum radiator, and headers for the swap. It has plenty of get up and go and sounds awesome with the duel exhaust. All of the gauges, dash lights, and heater controls work properly. It has a new fuel tank and sending unit. All new heavy duty shackles with grease fittings. All 4 Rancho shocks are new. Very good 31-10.50-15 tires with vintage gold wheels. Spare does not hold air. Brand new 12,000 winch that needs to be wired ( I have the wiring). Stainless mirrors, hood hinges, latches, vent, etc. This jeep drives and stops as it should. I have owned and driven this jeep since December of 2012 with no problems. I have recently purchased a truck and do not have room for both of them. I have the clear title in my hand. Buyer required to pay a deposit of $200 by Pay-Pal within 24 hours of auction end. Remainder due in CASH no checks accepted. Buyer responsible for all shipping. I will help a transport load. Thank you.

NHTSA closes book on Jeep 'trailer hitch' recall after all
Mon, 20 Jan 2014After much debating and hand-wringing, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration now says it has "no reservations" with Chrysler's plan to recall certain Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokee models over concerns that their fuel tanks, which are located behind the rear axle, could rupture or leak in the event of a rear impact. The longstanding argument between the two entities saw Chrysler openly defy the Feds after a request to recall 2.7 million units back in June.
Chrysler's "voluntary campaign" will instead see it recall 1.56-million 1993-2004 model year Grand Cherokee SUVs, along with 2002-2007 Liberty models. Affected vehicles will get a trailer hitch installed free of charge, which Chrysler says will provide an additional degree of protection for the fuel tanks in the event of a crash. Jeeps with Mopar-branded hitches or hitches that were installed at the factory aren't affected by this recall.
Chrysler's argument throughout this battle has been that the Jeeps in question are no more susceptible to fires than comparable vehicles from the same time period, a position that NHTSA has seemingly arrived at as well. "Those vehicles performed at a rate similar to their peers. That is the keystone analysis as to whether something poses an unreasonable risk to safety," said outgoing NHTSA boss David Strickland during an interview with the The Associated Press.
2015 Jeep Renegade
Tue, 04 Mar 2014It's no secret that the midsize crossover segment is one of the most hotly contested battlegrounds in the automotive industry. Long have vehicles like the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 duked it out for those ever illusive consumer dollars. For many customers, though, even something like a Nissan Rogue is too big, whether in terms of price, fuel economy or just plain size.
For those customers, a growing market segment seems poised to fulfill their needs. Compact crossovers and tall wagons like the Nissan Juke and Kia Soul offer the high-riding driving experience with all the utility that comes from their two-box layout. It's an underrepresented segment among manufacturers, with big names like Toyota, Ford, General Motors and Honda lacking a true competitor.
To capitalize on this growing class, Chrysler's Jeep brand has readied this: the Renegade. That's right. Not Jeepster - Renegade. This diminutive off-roader, which rides on Fiat Chrysler's new small-wide 4x4 architecture, represents Jeep's first foray into the subcompact CUV segment as we know it, and it's making its official debut this week, on the floor of the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. Join us as we take a close look at one of Jeep's most important products in some time.
Fiat Chrysler to get $105M fine from NHTSA for recall woes
Sun, Jul 26 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is about to send a powerful message to automakers doing business in the United States, assuming reports of an upcoming $105 million fine against Fiat Chrysler Automobiles comes to fruition. In addition to the record-setting monetary fine, according to The Wall Street Journal, FCA will have to accept an independent auditor that will monitor the company's recall and safety processes and will be forced to buy back certain recalled vehicles. In other cases, such as with Jeep Grand Cherokee and Liberty models with gas tanks that could potentially catch fire in certain types of accidents, FCA will offer financial encouragement for owners to get their recall work done or to trade those older vehicles in on new cars, according to the report. FCA could reportedly reduce its fines if it meets certain conditions, though those remain unclear at this time. These actions against FCA are being taken after NHTSA began a probe into the automaker over almost two dozen separate instances where the government claims FCA failed to follow proper procedures for recalls and safety defects. Included in those safety lapses are more than 11 million vehicles currently in customer hands. These penalties and fines are separate from the investigation over security problems with Chrysler's Uconnect system that allowed hackers to obtain remote access into key vehicle systems in 1.4 million vehicles.
