This is a 1983 Jeep CJ-7. It was a frame off restoration in late 2009. It was an upgrade restoration, not a show vehicle restoration. This Jeep was built to be used. 


THE GOOD:

Clear Alabama title in Hand !!
All Guages Work ! 
The red "Brake" light and the "4wd" indicator in the cluster work !
Fender, hood, grill, tailgate, and windshield frame are all OEM and in great shape. 
The tub is in great shape for it's age except for the small areas of rust in the usual places.
This Jeep has lots of usable upgrades. It is not a show stopper or a Hot Rod.
258 6 cylinder with DUI distributor, Motorcraft 2100 carburator, aftermarket aluminum valve cover.
T-5  5 speed transmission
Dana 30 front end with 3.31 gears
Amc 20 rear end with 3.31 gears
Power Steering  (M.O.R.E. Power Steering Box mount installed with rebuilt Power steering box less than 500 miles ago)
Power Brakes
Dirtworks front bumper
Rusty's 3"  springs and shocks installed ( less than 1000 miles ago )
5 Factory 15" X 7" wheels with Factory Center Caps
5 235 X 15 BFG Long Trail Radials
OEM Laredo Seats in great shape !
OEM 20 gallon plastic gas tank
OEM Draw Bar
OEM under dash lights
OEM intermittent wipers
YJ "family" bar installed
Swapped to TJ seat belts
3' Nerf Bars
Duplicolor Roll in Bedliner inside of tub
Poly body mounts and spring bushings
YJ half doors (still painted dark green, I never got them painted)
Bestop Supertop in great shape, all zippers work, only minor scratches in windows
Delta tool box mounted behind the rear seat. 
Tuffy Security Console w/Stereo compartment (no radio installed)

THE BAD:

This Jeep marks it's territory ! If you are not sure what that means this may not be the Jeep for you !
The right front fender flare is shot. These are 1985 OEM flares and the sun has not been kind to them.
The right rear corner of the tub has been repaired where the Prius run under it but has not been painted.
The entire left side panel of this Jeep was replaced at some point in time before I bought it. They did a good job. I just want you to know up front.
There are small rust bubbles starting to form under the Jeep logo on both sides.
There are small rust bubbles starting on the left side of the cowl just below the hinge.
There are small pinholes in the passenger floor board where the previous owner had a roll cage bolted in. They used carpet as a gasket and it held water.
The right rear axle seal has started to leak. If you use the "Buy It Now" option I will include a set of brand new Superior One Piece Axles.
The indicator lights for the wipers and the headlights do not work. I will include new OEM ones to replace them with.

This is not a highway Jeep !!  At 60 MPH things happen quickly with the short wheelbase and power steering ! The ride is firm but not harsh.

Fiat Chrysler to get $105M fine from NHTSA for recall woes

Sun, Jul 26 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is about to send a powerful message to automakers doing business in the United States, assuming reports of an upcoming $105 million fine against Fiat Chrysler Automobiles comes to fruition. In addition to the record-setting monetary fine, according to The Wall Street Journal, FCA will have to accept an independent auditor that will monitor the company's recall and safety processes and will be forced to buy back certain recalled vehicles. In other cases, such as with Jeep Grand Cherokee and Liberty models with gas tanks that could potentially catch fire in certain types of accidents, FCA will offer financial encouragement for owners to get their recall work done or to trade those older vehicles in on new cars, according to the report. FCA could reportedly reduce its fines if it meets certain conditions, though those remain unclear at this time. These actions against FCA are being taken after NHTSA began a probe into the automaker over almost two dozen separate instances where the government claims FCA failed to follow proper procedures for recalls and safety defects. Included in those safety lapses are more than 11 million vehicles currently in customer hands. These penalties and fines are separate from the investigation over security problems with Chrysler's Uconnect system that allowed hackers to obtain remote access into key vehicle systems in 1.4 million vehicles.

Fiat-Chrysler shows its SEMA lineup

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles already previewed its 2014 SEMA show lineup with some slick renders. Now, the automaker has finally showed us the actual cars, and among the group there are definitely some that stand out more than others.
Dodge is really showing off its muscle at this year's show with four concepts that all pump up the power of the brand's models. Perhaps most interesting among them is the Challenger T/A Concept (pictured above) in striking Sublime Green and matte black. It's meant to resemble the classic Trans Am racer from the '70s. Under the hood is a 6.4-liter V8, and to fit the vintage style there's a pistol-grip gearshift inside.
The Charger R/T also gets some attention with the Mopar concept that shows off what FCA's aftermarket performance arm can do. Mods include an updated body kit, cold-air intake for the 5.7-liter V8 and a coil-over suspension kit. Beyond that, the Dart R/T Concept looks a lot meaner with a black hood with duct work that leads straight to the air intake. The rest of the compact sedan is dolled up in O-So-Orange paint and is fitted with upgrades to improve handling like a coil-over suspension and big brake kit from the Mopar catalog.
