1983 Cj 7 Army Clone - Head-turner on 2040-cars
Woodland Hills, Utah, United States
For Sale: My 1983 Jeep CJ 7
Where do I start?
Over the last year and a half I meticulously restored this Jeep (on frame).
My goal was to end up with a VERY dependable, COOL, fun 3rd car for my family. Here it is, finished, sans the 2 inch lift I had planned. Just after I finished it I got some bad news from my doctor. It is forcing the sale of all my toys (fishing boat and Hobie-Cat are already gone). My Jeep and motorcycle are next.
I put just over $4,000.00 in parts and materials into this Jeep.
EVERYTHING WORKS, even the things that just don’t work on most other CJs…. and there is NO need for any work from you, to totally enjoy this jeep for years to come. If it needed it, it got it, and it even got some things it didn’t really need; I replaced them just for piece-of-mind, while my children drove it. You can notice that all of the safety and dependability items have been addressed. I did this Jeep for my family to enjoy, not just to “flip” for a quick buck, and it shows in the meticulous details.
THIS JEEP TURNS HEADS and starts conversations where ever it goes. People pull up next to you on the road to take pictures of it, get ready to smile; a BUNCH!
I have priced this Jeep fairly and to sell quickly. There are Jeeps out there that are priced cheaper than this one, but that is exactly what you will get… CHEAPER.
THIS IS A “TURN KEY” JEEP, set up to give you years of enjoyment, without all the work that usually accompanies an older Jeep…
This Jeep is licensed as a “Vintage Vehicle” it will NOT require smog and safety checks every year.
Here is a list of just some of the features:
These are the NEW items…(I may have missed a few)
- New Best Top “Super-Top” w/ tinted windows and Full Soft Doors (Color: SPICE)
- Mesh Bikini top w/ American Flag theme
- Mesh “Wind-Jammer” w/ American Flag theme
- New Paint w/ Military Scheme (Decals are on top of paint, so you can remove them if you want, but they are what turn the heads out there…) BTW: The Jeep was stripped to bare metal and primered with top of the line catalyzed primer and painted with Limco Supreme top-coat products…the stuff the pros use.
- 1/2 Hard doors
- Custom 1/8 plate steel rocker guards
- Good tires
- Tilt steering column w/ new key cylinder
- ALL oils are AMSOIL products (the best of the best!), axles, transfer case, gear-box, and engine

…and so, so much more. Come and see his fantastic Jeep.
Not to be coy, but if you see this Jeep in person, you WILL buy it!

This Jeep is in stock form. If you are looking for a fun, all-season, Jeep for around town and fun trail rides... and enjoy “turning heads”; This is your baby!

Jeep Grand Cherokee, BMW i8, Ford F-150 win 2015 Green Car Awards in DC [w/video]
Tue, Jan 27 2015There were three shiny trophies handed out at the Washington Auto Show last week by Green Car Journal, and they went to three different examples of what "green" means in the automotive industry today. The Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel won the award for the 2015 Green SUV of the Year, the BMW i8 was named the 2015 Luxury Green Car of the Year and the Ford F-150 took the 2015 Green Car Technology Award honor. There is a case to be made that the aluminum body of the new Ford truck will make a bigger impact in the overall fuel usage in the US than almost any other vehicle, given the numbers of F-150s that Ford sells each year. The B20 biodiesel-capable Jeep gets up to 30 miles per gallon on the highway. And the i8 puts all sorts of new, fuel-saving technologies into an attractive package. Looking over the winners, and the list of finalists you can see in our photo gallery, and you can see that the definition of green is expanding every year. You can watch Green Car Journal editor Ron Cogan hand out the 2015 awards in the video below and we'll for sure be paying attention to what wins next year. 2015 Luxury Green Car of the Year, Green SUV of the Year and Green Car Technology Winners Announced WASHINGTON, Jan. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal has named the Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel its 2015 Green SUV of the Year™ and the BMW i8 its 2015 Luxury Green Car of the Year™, with the aluminum-bodied Ford F-150 earning the magazine's 2015 Green Car Technology Award™. Winners were determined by a jury of Green Car Journal editors and automotive experts. The prestigious awards were announced in Washington, D.C. today at a Green Car Awards™ press conference held during the Washington Auto Show's Public Policy Day at the Washington Convention Center. "These are truly commendable vehicles representing the 'best-of-the-best' in so many ways," said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of the Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com. "The auto industry's very early focus on small cars and efficiency-for-environment tradeoffs has evolved to now include a more dynamic field of 'greener' models in all vehicle classes. Those wanting greater efficiency or better environmental performance are no longer constrained by limited choices or vehicle types that fall outside their top purchase preferences.
25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango SUVs recalled over brake feel
Mon, 10 Mar 2014Chrysler has announced that it is recalling over 25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from several markets over concerns about brake feel under hard braking. The affected models are from the 2012 and 2013 model years, although the actual dates of production aren't available. 18,700 are in the US, while 825 are in Canada, 530 are in Mexico and a further 5,200 outside of North America.
According to a statement, Chrysler was informed of the issue by a component supplier for the Ready Alert Braking system, which primes the brakes in anticipation of an emergency stop. A component in the system was restricting the flow of brake fluid too much.
As Chrysler is quick to point out, the way the brakes functioned was in compliance with regulations and there are no reported cases of drivers losing braking power. Instead, the issue rests with what Chrysler calls a pedal feel that "was not consistent with customer expectations." So it would seem Chrysler is being proactive and fixing a problem not because there's a legal issue at work, but simply because it doesn't feel the way the manufacturer wants it to. Well done.
2015 Jeep Renegade First Drive [w/video]
Fri, Jan 23 2015Would it surprise you to hear that a strong, vocal and loyal owner base can sometimes be a hindrance to automakers? Of course, no brand would ever admit such a thing. And sure, on the surface, you might think that having people passionately champion a brand would provide nothing but perks. As we've seen over the years, though, there are plenty of times when that's not the case. Jeep has most recently fought this battle following the arrival of the new Cherokee, where two-tracking purists and rock-crawling enthusiasts bemoaned the nameplate's dip into Crossoverdom. Now, with its latest vehicle, the off-road brand is trying to keep this vocal minority happy (or at least quiet) while building a crossover that has general-purpose appeal to consumers in an increasingly crowded and important small CUV market. This balancing act has produced the 2015 Renegade, a vehicle that, following our testing in sunny San Jose, CA, we're quite confident will appeal to both brand loyalists and the uninitiated, alike. Before we dig into the meat of our First Drive, if you're here looking for a review of the Renegade Trailhawk and its off-road abilities, you're out of luck. We did drive it, both on- and off-road, and will be publishing a feature on it in the very near future. But for now, we're focusing on the volume model, the Renegade Latitude. Instead of the off-roader-meets-E.T. appearance of the Cherokee that's polarized so many, Jeep has dipped its brush in the tin marked "Heritage," fitting a simple seven-slat grille, historically appropriate round headlights and square taillights. In between all that, there are flared trapezoidal wheel arches, like you'd get on a classic CJ or MB, tall windows to let in plenty of light and short overhangs. It's not the broader strokes that contribute to the Renegade's adorably busy exterior, so much as the myriad of smaller styling details that visually attach this new model to Jeeps of the past. The hood is long and mostly flat, forcibly recalling the bonnet of the original Willys MBs and Ford GPWs that US troops used to strategize, sermonize and operate on during World War II. But rather than make it flush with the grille, it bleeds over the headlights, like the front of an infantryman's helmet. The X shape found throughout the car is reminiscent of military-style jerry cans, while the mirrors are door-mounted, like Jeeps of old. The roof, meanwhile, can be blacked-out, further linking the Renegade to its big brother, the Wrangler.
