Beautiful cosmetic and mechanical restoration of a pristine, rust-free, unmodified and original, highway-driven (very limited off-road use), desert California (20 years) and desert Utah (10 years) based 1983 Jeep CJ7. Don't let the mileage intimidate you... since the restoration this beauty drives as new. The key to a great build is to start with a great foundation like this one. Complete, original and rust-free is way more important than miles. And It was done as a labor of love by a friend of mine who planned to keep it forever. Alas, plans change and he has asked me to sell it for him (I'm the eBay go-to guy in my neighborhood).


Below is a link that allows you to get details through the VIN number...


And here are the details on this one (in no particular order)...

* Beautiful fresh paint inside and out (body was entirely disassembled, prepped, painted, and then reassembled with new parts)
* Matching Armor-Coat on the floorboards and bed
* New windshield frame and window
* New nuts & bolts throughout (mostly stainless steel)
* New Bestop bikini top
* New mirrors
* Very cool stainless steel hood hinges and vent from Olympic Offroad
* Fresh undercoating on fender wells
* Original 15x7 Jeep spoke rims
* Custom LED tail lights
* Newer 258cid long-block
* Cool new cast 4.2L valve cover
* Stainless steel air intake
* Five speed manual transmission with newer clutch
* Dana 300 transfer case
* Trac-Lok limited slip rear differential
* Power steering with tilt wheel
* Power brakes (fresh pads and rotor in front, new shoes in rear)
* New battery tray
* New water pump/thermostat/serpentine belt
* All new radiator & heater hoses
* New windshield washer hoses and pump
* New gauges (other than speedo) and indicator lights
* New stainless steel gauge surround
* Very comfy new seats and seat frames
* Custom, very sturdy rear bumper/receiver/swing-away spare tire carrier (all bolt-on)
* Newer shocks (Ranch RS5000's in the rear)
* New shift boots
* Custom machined dash control knobs
* Original owners manual and maintenance schedule

I know I'm forgetting some additional goodies. Definitely look closely at my pics. And I also have pics of the building process... please ask me for them.

Mechanically, the running gear is excellent. Everything works like new and has been restored/upgraded where necessary. What's cool is that it has been kept all stock underneath. It's built to be a reliable, practical daily driver that will appreciate in value if you take care of it. I've driven many classic CJ's and I'm struck by what a tight, rattle-free, smooth, civilized driver this one is. Personally, I think it drives as good as or better than a new one did in 1983. Just my two cents.

Cosmetically, the owner took some liberties (seats, knobs, paint color, stainless steel, tail lights). But they are done to a very high standard and reversible if you choose. Personally, I'd leave them just the way they are and enjoy them. They certainly contribute to it being a safe, cool (as in awesome), practical and comfortable driver. And I think these tasteful upgrades make it even more unique.

My name is Chris and I am happy to answer your questions. Please call me at 435-669-1470. I also have tons of additional pics that show every nook and cranny. Send me an email address and I will get them out promptly. This beautiful CJ7 is located in the dry, desert community of St. George, Utah (about 100 miles north of Las Vegas). You may want to consider flying in and driving home. I would be happy to help facilitate that. Good luck and good bidding.

Hank the Autodog takes a ride in the long-term 2014 Jeep Cherokee

Wed, May 13 2015

Autoblog readers, meet Hank, my 40-pound, six-year-old Shar Pei and Staffordshire Terrier mix, a combination also known as a Pit Bull. Pit Bulls and car enthusiasts have a lot in common. They're a little intimidating to your average man on the street, but at the end of the day all they want to do is feel the breeze in their ears. Dogs who love car rides are the ultimate enthusiasts, and Hank especially is a canine connoisseur of cars. There is nothing Hank likes more than to hop in and go for a ride. With an owner like me, he has developed refined tastes when it comes to cars. As our long-term Jeep Cherokee is about to leave the Autoblog Garage, and since the weather is warming back up, it's the perfect time to give our Autodog one last spin in his favorite Jeep. We wanted to see what a car ride looks like from a dog's perspective. Luckily, we have a cache of GoPros and plenty of cars on hand to give Hank one last chance to go for a window-down ride. After many pets, treats, and drives around town, we put together this video montage of Hank's best day ever.

Chrysler extending production of current Dodge Avenger, Jeep Wrangler, Grand Caravan

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Are you hesitant to pull the trigger on a brand new Dodge Avenger in hopes that a new one will be coming? Well, don't hold your breath. According to The Detroit News, Chrysler will be extending production of the current Avenger sedan through the end of 2015.
Originally, we heard that the company would kill the Avenger to better focus its midsize sedan efforts on the Chrysler 200 replacement. But then new reports stated there would indeed be an Avenger successor, and that we could see it as early as next January. This Detroit News report cites supplier sources confirming the extension of Avenger production, though Chrysler has not released an official statement on the matter.
These same suppliers say that the current Jeep Wrangler will live on through mid-2018 - that's right, another five years. The Detroit News reports that a replacement for the iconic, go-anywhere Jeep was due in mid-2016.

FCA issuing software update for 1.4M vehicles to prevent hacking

Fri, Jul 24 2015

In the wake of a Jeep Cherokee being hacked remotely while on the road through its Uconnect infotainment system, FCA US is now issuing a software update for 1.4 million vehicles in the United States. Affected customers will receive a USB stick in the mail with the improved version; owners can check this website to see if their cars are affected. A large variety of models with FCA's 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system are affected. They include the 2015 Chrysler 200, 2015 Chrysler 300, 2015 Dodge Charger, and 2015 Dodge Challenger; 2013-2015 Dodge Viper; 2013-2015 Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500; 2013-2015 Ram 3500, 4500, and 5500 chassis cab; 2014-2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Cherokee; and 2014-2015 Dodge Durango. According to FCA in its announcement, the new software "insulates connected vehicles from remote manipulation." As of July 23, the company also "fully tested and implemented within the cellular network" additional security to prevent access to many of a vehicle's systems. FCA US says that it's conducting this campaign out of an abundance of caution and disputes the notion that there's a defect with these vehicles. Beyond the demonstration of the hack in the Cherokee, the automaker says that it's unaware of any other reports of these attacks actually happening. Related Video: Statement: Software Update July 24, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is conducting a voluntary safety recall to update software in approximately 1,400,000 U.S. vehicles equipped with certain radios. The recall aligns with an ongoing software distribution that insulates connected vehicles from remote manipulation, which, if unauthorized, constitutes criminal action. Further, FCA US has applied network-level security measures to prevent the type of remote manipulation demonstrated in a recent media report. These measures – which required no customer or dealer actions – block remote access to certain vehicle systems and were fully tested and implemented within the cellular network on July 23, 2015. The Company is unaware of any injuries related to software exploitation, nor is it aware of any related complaints, warranty claims or accidents – independent of the media demonstration.
