 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 wants to nearly double Jeep sales by 2018

Thu, Jan 15 2015

Jeep just keeps breaking its own sales records. A couple of weeks ago, the off-road brand announced its worldwide sales exceeded one million units for the first time, marking its third consecutive global record and the fifth straight year of sales increases here in the US. But FCA isn't about to stop there. TheDetroitBureau.com reports that chief executive Sergio Marchionne, speaking to the media at the Detroit Auto Show, has announced a new sales target for the Jeep division: By 2018, he wants to see Jeep sell 1.9 million units in a single year, nearly doubling its all-time record. The expansion will surely encompass new products, with the all-new Renegade just warming up, a next-generation Wrangler on the way and a reborn Grand Wagoneer in the pipeline, as well. But the focus of FCA's preparations to reach the new target is on production capacity. While it's not clear whether the Toledo, OH plant where half of all the Jeeps sold around the world are currently built will continue to host the next Wrangler, FCA is expanding production overseas. The Renegade is already being built alongside the Fiat 500X in Italy, where another 1,000 workers are being re-hired and where another factory is set to start producing Jeeps, as well. A Renegade-based variant for the South American market will soon be built in Brazil, and by the end of this year, Jeep aims to start local production in China.

2014 Jeep Cherokee musters 22 MPG city, 31 highway

Thu, 05 Sep 2013

Production and media drive delays included, there has been no lack of press surrounding the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. With the most recent delay reportedly due to powertrain calibrations, we've been waiting to see how the Cherokee's fuel economy looks against the highly competitive compact CUV segment. Thanks to the EPA, we now know the fuel economy figures for the newest member of the Jeep family.
Arguably, the Cherokee has the most modern powertrain in its class with an updated base engine, all-new V6 and all-new nine-speed automatic transmission, but its fuel economy figures are simply on par for the segment. Still nothing to scoff at, though. According to fueleconomy.gov, front-wheel-drive Cherokee models with the base four-cylinder mill will top out the lineup with 22 miles per gallon in the city and 31 mpg on the highway; opting for four-wheel drive with this engine drops the figures to 21 city and 28 highway. Get even crazier with the option list, and the new 3.2-liter Pentastar V6 will get you 19 mpg city and 28 mpg highway in two-wheel-drive form or 19 city and 27 highway for 4WD.
If you're wondering how that stacks up among compact CUVs, head on over to Automobile Magazine for a full fuel economy breakdown for the segment. The controversially styled crossover hits dealers this month, and we'll be driving it in just a couple of weeks.

2016 Jeep Wrangler to ditch solid axles to save weight?

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

Hey, Jeep fans. If you think the idea of a funky-looking, car-based Cherokee revival is offensive, have a listen to what might be in store for the next-gen Jeep Wrangler. Automotive News is reporting that as Jeep develops the 2016 Wrangler, weight reduction is a crucial target, and the Wrangler's rugged solid axles could be sacrificed in the name of better fuel economy.
We've already heard the next Wrangler will go on a serious diet using aluminum body panels and an air suspension system, so the idea of a four-wheel independent suspension setup for this OG SUV isn't all that surprising. Besides, it's not like an independent suspension would limit the Wrangler's off-road abilities - just check out the Hummer H1. In fact, it might be the aftermarket parts companies - not Wrangler enthusiasts - who would be most disappointed by such a drastic suspension change, as the article states that the Wrangler's solid axles and coil-link suspension make it the most popular SUV for customization.
There are probably still a couple years before we'll start hearing any concrete details about the 2016 Wrangler, at which time it will be interesting to see how stricter fuel economy and crash safety regulations have been balanced with traditional Wrangler cues like its removable doors and roof and folding windshield. Let us know in the comments below if a Wrangler sans solid axles is any less of a Wrangler.
