 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.

Fires, deaths continue after Jeep fuel tank recall

Wed, Feb 11 2015

As Kayla White slowed her SUV behind two other cars to exit a suburban Detroit freeway on Veterans Day, it was rammed from behind by a Cadillac STS. Her red 2003 Jeep Liberty bounced off a Nissan in front of it, rolled onto its side and exploded in flames. Other drivers ran to help but were forced back by the heat. Firefighters arrived in just three minutes but were too late. White, a 23-year-old restaurant hostess who was eight months pregnant, died of burns and smoke inhalation. White is one of more than 70 people killed in fires involving older Jeeps with plastic fuel tanks mounted behind the rear axle. Fiat Chrysler, which makes Jeeps, recalled 1.56 million of them in June 2013 under pressure from US safety regulators. But only 12 percent of the SUVs have been repaired in the 18 months since the recall, a much slower pace than usual. And White's Jeep was not among those fixed. Last week, prosecutors charged the Cadillac driver with committing a moving violation that caused a death. But safety advocates and the lawyer for White's family say the blame belongs as much, if not more, on Chrysler and an auto-industry safety system that moves too slowly to prevent tragedy. The rear-mounted tanks have little structure to protect them if struck from behind, making them susceptible to punctures and fires. Moving the gas tank in front of the axle would be expensive and difficult. So Chrysler's remedy involved installing trailer hitches on the rear of the Jeeps as an extra layer of protection. Government testing showed the hitches protected the tanks in crashes up to 40 mph when stationary Jeeps were hit from behind. But at higher speeds, they wouldn't help. White tried to get the repair done a few weeks before her death but was told by a Jeep dealer that parts weren't available, according to Gerald Thurswell, her family's lawyer. He wouldn't identify the dealership, and his contention could not be independently verified by The Associated Press. Thurswell contends the gas tank ruptured, spilling fuel that touched off the fire. A Chrysler spokesman expressed sympathy to White's family but said the company had no written proof that she asked a dealer about the recall. Two crash reconstruction experts interviewed by the AP say gas wouldn't have spilled from White's Jeep if the tank had been mounted in front of the rear axle. Both say a hitch might have prevented the tank from being damaged, but because both vehicles were in motion, neither expert could say for sure.

Jeep Wrangler Mojo and Cherokee Dakar teased ahead of Moab Easter Safari

Wed, 02 Apr 2014

Jeep has an annual tradition of debuting wild, new concepts during its Easter Jeep Safari, and this year looks to be no different. The automaker has already confirmed two of the six vehicles for 2014 - the Cherokee Dakar (pictured above) and Wrangler Mojo. This year's event runs in Moab, Utah, from April 12-20.
There are no official details about either of the concepts yet - Jeep will release more info on the new models next week. Judging by the pictures, though, the Cherokee Dakar appears to be lifted with some knobby off-road tires. The Wrangler Mojo looks to have a bulging hood that might hide a more powerful engine underneath.
Past vehicles at the Easter Jeep Safari have included a Hemi V8-powered Wrangler, a classically inspired pickup and modernized Jeep Forward Control. Since this is the brand's chance to express itself every year, hopefully it has some more sensational concepts up its sleeve. Scroll down to read the little information that has been revealed about this year's models so far.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
