 OK, up for sale is my CJ-7 project.
I bought this jeep about 2 years ago and drove it home, which means drive train is in good condition. ( Original drive train )
Original plan was to fully restore the jeep to a brand new shape. I started by ripping everything on the body that was rusted which was pretty much everything but the engine compartment ( see pics ) the frame was very solid and in great shape so i only had to patch a couple of spots and replace the rear cross member by a new one ( purchased at quadratec.com ) Once stripped down, i replaced ALL the fuel lines and MOST brake lines, also replaced the fuel pump and all respective filters. I proceeded to rhino line the frame. And finally i purchased every single panel necessary to put together a brand new metal tub. Early this spring i started welding the rear of the tub together ( please see pics ) and that's where i stopped....
At this point in my life i don't have the funds or the time to complete the project and honestly i need the room to work in my other jeep ( yes, i do own other jeeps, it is an addiction ;) so i am selling this project as it is for somebody to complete , is early enough in the project that you can still go your own way as far as lift and color you choose.

The jeep is a great project to take over , i tried including everything that it comes with it in the picture but i couldn't....  so here it is ....

The jeep as you see it in the pictures.  ( original drive train in it )
All the parts that you can see behind the jeep as , the rear of the tub already welded and put together , the front floor panels , all front side panels.
Set of full doors in good working condition , will of course need painting.
Original rear tail gate
Original fronts and rear seats
Roll bar
I also have a spare on the tire carrier ( same size as the tires it sits on)  235x75 r15 with about 50% tread left on all of them.
I have a NEW 2" body lift kit that i also was planning to put on the jeep.
The jeep has a clear title
I also have the hard top that came with the jeep, the back window is ruined but if replaced the top could still be used. 

I spent just under $1000 in parts alone, mostly the panels in order to build a new tub and paid $700 for the jeep when i bought it , so i will start my auction at $1,700

If you have any questions about the jeep do not hesitate on writing me. 

The description of the jeep is to the best of my knowledge , i am by no means a professional mechanic or car restorer but i have been at this jeep hobby for a while and know my way around them.
Look at my excellent positive feedback and bid with confidence. 

Please only serious bidders

I will require a $500 deposit within 24 hours of the auction closing.

Thank you for looking and happy bidding !!!

Marchionne defends FCA recalls, says Wrangler won't be all-aluminum

Fri, May 22 2015

FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne recently received the 2015 Industry Leadership Award from the SAE Foundation. While speaking with the press after the event, the boss discussed his thoughts about some key issues regarding the company's future. One of the big regulatory issues facing FCA at the moment is the upcoming public hearing by the National Highway Traffic Safety into the automaker's handling of 20 recalls. Marchionne has no intention of testifying there, according to The Detroit News. The CEO also thinks that the government regulator is becoming much more aggressive in how it handles safety campaigns, but the Feds aren't necessarily doing a very good job of communicating that. "We need to work with the agency in a very cooperative and open way to make sure that we can meet their requirements for their new stance," he said, according to the newspaper. "We have no option but to comply with their requirements and we will. I have nothing to hide in this process. I just want clear rules." Marchionne also dropped the news that the company has changed its mind about making the next Jeep Wrangler totally from aluminum. "Because of the difference in cost, not just the new material but the actual assembly process, I think we can do almost as well without doing it all-aluminum," he said to The Detroit News. This seemingly opens the door for the model to remain in production in Toledo, OH, but only just a crack. Marchionne says that the new Wrangler would still use a large amount of aluminum, and there are "at least" two sites in contention for the assembly. The company doesn't have too long to make a decision because the model reportedly launches in 2017.

Stellantis and Foxconn's new joint venture will focus on connectivity

Wed, May 19 2021

MILAN — Carmaker Stellantis and TaiwanÂ’s Foxconn announced plans to develop a jointly operated automotive supplier focusing on technology to make vehicles more connected, including artificial intelligence-based applications and 5G communications. Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares said the services that will be developed through the tie-up “will mark the next great evolution of our industry,” alongside fully electrified and hybrid powertrains. The deal brings together Stellantis, the worldÂ’s 4th-largest automaker formed this year by the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and PSA Peugeot, and Foxconn, a major supplier of iPhones. The companies said the venture would focus on such services as infotainment, the integration of telecommunications and computer systems, artificial intelligence-based applications, 5G communications, e-commerce channels and smart cockpit integration. The companies announced a non-binding memorandum of understanding to form a 50-50 joint venture called Mobile Drive, which will be based in the Netherlands and function as an automotive supplier also to other carmakers. The new venture will combine advanced consumer electronics, Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) to create new services “that will exceed customer expectations,” the companies said in a release. “Customers today and, in the future, demand and expect ever-increasing software-driven and creative solutions to connect the drivers and passengers with the vehicle inside and out,Â’Â’ Foxconn Chairman Young Liu.

100,000 Jeep Cherokee models subject to further 9-speed recalibration

Thu, 29 May 2014

It seems that the software problems with the nine-speed automatic gearbox in the Jeep Cherokee continue to mount. The programming already caused multiple development delays and even postponed the Cherokee's market launch by roughly two months. Now, Jeep has issued another recalibration to hopefully assuage unhappy drivers.
According to Automotive News, this reflash for the allegedly jerky transmission covers over 100,000 Cherokees built before May 5, but it's not technically a recall. If owners are having problems and complain to the dealer, they get the new software. Otherwise, they continue with the current version. New vehicles on dealer lots also receive the latest revision to the programming. It takes only around five minutes to install, but technicians need to take the Cherokee on a test drive to adapt the gearbox to the changes.
The Cherokee's transmission software has been problematic practically since the beginning. The Jeep plant in Toledo, OH, briefly idled its second-shift workers last year to take care of the issue. Since the launch issues for the crossover, demand has been strong. Jeep added another 1,000 temporary workers to the Toledo factory to keep up, and sales were on par with the Wrangler in just its first two months.
