Don't miss the chance to own an awesome 1982 Jeep CJ-7. You have not lived until you have driven a V8 powered CJ!

Condition: Excellent condition for being a 32 year old Jeep. Originally triple-black Laredo. Frame-off restoration. Just about everything gone through or replaced. What little rust there was has been repaired professionally. Professionally painted Black base coat/ clear coat with Standox paint. Professional spray-on bedliner on bottom of tub and interior. I was going to re-stripe it back to original silver Laredo stripes but decided to sell the Jeep. Never been four-wheeled hard as I used it as a daily driver and to access my camping and fishing spots.

Features : Functional ram-air hood, Warn 8274 winch, rebuilt AMC 360 bored .030 over, DUI distributor, Aluminum radiator, Edelbrock carburetor, Hedman Hedders, dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers, Dana 30 front end, AMC 20 rear end, 3.54 gears per tags on axles, T-176 transmission, Dana 300 transfer case, Borgeson steering shaft, Factory tilt column, Stainless Steel dash panel, Autometer gauges, functional speedometer cluster gauges, red LED backlighting on gauges, Tuffy center console with Sony CD player, custom roll bar speaker boxes, excellent condition original Laredo front seats, black denim seat covers, spare tire and rollbar cover, Jeep logo fold-and-tumble rear seat from 1985 Jeep CJ (can exchange for a non-folding original Laredo rear seat if you prefer) , Factory hard top, Factory hard doors, Factory half doors from 1987 Wrangler, 2.5" Rancho lift kit including shocks and steering stabilizer, Con-Ferr shackles, 5 BF Goodrich 32x11.50x15 A/T KO Tires on 5 factory chrome Laredo wheels, Rock-Hard frame mounted spare tire carrier, Painless wiring harness, stainless steel hinges on everything, I have the original chrome front bumper if you want me to swap it for the black one that is on there, polyurethane bushings on body mounts, suspension, bump stops, sway bar and links, flush mount LED taillights.

History: I purchased it in 1996 from the original owner's son after he passed away. The original owner was an attorney in Jackson Hole, WY and used it to pull snowmobiles in the winter per the original owner's son. Vehicle has spent most of its life in Wyoming and Montana except for a few years in Georgia while I was in the military. It has been fun to own but it is time for a new owner as it sits in my garage and rarely gets driven.

Shipping: Vehicle is located in Bozeman, MT. I would prefer the buyer to pick up locally but understand if you cannot make it out. Yellowstone National Park is just down the road and fall is a great time to visit! Any shipping is buyer's responsibility. I will make reasonable accommodations to deliver vehicle in town to your shipping company if required.

Payment: A $500 non-refundable deposit is required within 24 hours through Paypal upon end of auction. Balance is due within 7 days of auction close unless other arrangements are made with seller. Will accept cash or certified check only. Vehicle will not leave my possession until funds have cleared my bank. Seller reserves the right to end auction at any time as vehicle is for sale locally also.

Please email with questions. I check my email in the evenings MST. Thanks for looking!

Are we about to see a real SUV revival?

Wed, Mar 23 2016

Now that the marketplace has been oversaturated with cute-utes, crossovers, and CUV coupes, are we about to see a resurgence of real, honest-to-God SUVs? Ummm... maybe. The stars seem to be aligning in that direction, at least that's the sense I'm getting. We know an all-new Jeep Wrangler is only a few auto shows away; and that Jeep is about to introduce a new Grand Cherokee Trailhawk for 2017, in the same rugged spirit of the successful Cherokee and Renegade Trailhawks. Ford has hinted at a neo-Bronco, after showing the concept above in 2014 to wet the mouths of all those Duck Dynasty-types out there. And, and... wait for it... I recently learned that Subaru sent a questionnaire out to some Forester owners asking if they might be interested in an off-road package if it were offered. The items listed were pretty hardcore, serious stuff, such as: integrated tow/recovery hooks, additional ground clearance, more rugged wheels, skid plates, altimeter, front-view off-road camera, improved approach and departure angles, advanced differentials, Inclinometer, full-size spare tire, upgraded off-road suspension components, more aggressive tires, off-road driving mode (engine, transmission, throttle, and steering settings), more rugged styling, low-range gearing, and a more advanced traction management system. Folks that's not my wish list (well, actually it is), but those are words from Subaru, asking if that's what customers would like to see. Need proof? Go to the SubaruForester.org website. It's in a discussion there. So... no promises or guarantees here, and feel free to call me a rumormonger if you like; but the next few years could prove very interesting for those who actually do go off road. If this pans out, remember, you read it here first. Related Video: Image Credit: Ford Ford Jeep Subaru Crossover SUV Off-Road Vehicles open road

For his last act, Marchionne will outline an EV/hybrid roadmap this week

Wed, May 30 2018

MILAN/LONDON — Fiat Chrysler (FCA) boss Sergio Marchionne is expected to outline new plans for electric and hybrid cars in a strategy presentation on Friday, aiming to ensure the world's seventh-largest carmaker remains in the race in the absence of a merger. The 65-year-old will present FCA's strategy to 2022, his final contribution to the company he turned around and multiplied in value through 14 years of canny dealmaking. After failing to secure a tie-up he said was necessary to manage the costs of producing cleaner vehicles, Marchionne needs to show the group can keep churning out profits on its own, even as emissions rules tighten, SUV competition intensifies and worries around his succession abound. Marchionne had long refused to jump on the electrification bandwagon, saying he would only do so if selling battery-powered cars could be done at a profit. He even urged customers not to buy FCA's Fiat 500e, its only battery-powered model, because he was losing money on each sold. But Tesla's success and the need to comply with tougher emissions rules have forced Marchionne to commit to what he calls "most painful" spending. "FCA is way behind rivals in terms of hybrid and electric vehicles and they need to hit the accelerator to convince investors they can close that gap," said Andrea Pastorelli, a fund manager at 8a+ Investimenti. Germany's Volkswagen, Daimler, BMW and U.S. rivals GM and Ford have committed to spending billions of euros each in coming years to try produce profitable cars powered by cleaner fuels. FCA needs to present a clear roadmap, just like Volvo Cars, which ditched diesel from its best-selling XC60 SUV, launched a new electric brand and pledged to shift all brands to hybrid by 2019, a banking source close to FCA said, noting: "The tech divide determines winners and losers in the industry." Marchionne has already said half of the wider FCA fleet will incorporate some elements of electrification by 2022, while luxury marque Maserati will spearhead FCA's electrification drive by making all new models due after 2019 electric. But its plans remain vaguer and less advanced than most big rivals and some investors wonder about the capital required to make vehicles compliant, and what share of spending can go to electrification given FCA's numerous demands.

AEV Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon

Fri, 28 Feb 2014

After their rented 2007 Hummer H3 failed them during the brutal Rallye Aicha des Gazelles in Morocco, Amy Lerner and her sister Tricia Reina were on a quest to find the most capable production off-roader for their next competition - they chose a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. Their next mission was to find a company with the competence to configure it to win. After poring over Internet forums and perusing countless magazines for an outfitter who could meet their demanding requirements, they sent their bright orange JK ("Crush" is the official color) to American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) for some modifications.
The Michigan-based team at AEV kept the Jeep's 3.6-liter V6 and automatic transmission stock, but replaced the hood with a tall AEV Heat Reduction Hood and added an AEV Snorkel Kit for water crossings (it serves double-duty as its raised height helps to keep the air intake out of the kicked-up dust on the trail). Front and rear off-road bumpers were bolted in place, and AEV skid plates were added to provide additional undercarriage protection. A pair of IPF-900 off-road lights improve visibility, while a 10.2-gallon AEV Fuel Caddy (located behind the exterior spare) added some range. The suspension was upgraded with a 3.5-inch lift kit with Bilstein remote reservoir shocks, and 35-inch Falken Wildpeak A/T tires (LT285/70R17) were mounted at all four corners on AEV's beadlock wheels.
