Extra nice 1983 Jeep CJ7 that has lived its entire life out here in Arizon, even has its original paint except for 2 spots (tailgate and engine compartment firewall, one need sprucing up and the other rubbed bare) .    
I have run into issues with my health and need to part with my wonderful CJ7. 
Looking at the Carfax information provided by Ebay, it shows a mileage/odometer issue many years ago which was the miles exceeding the odometer limit.  Also, this past year emissions failed and I took the old Carter carb off and installed a clean running Motorcraft 2150..

The List:

-258 six cylinder taken out and completely cleaned and painted with hi temp paint

- New oil pump

-New fuel pump

-Aluminum rocker arm cover

-Autometer tachometer (high quality with large lower range)

-AM-FM with cassette and 2 Pioneer speakers

-Motorcraft 2150 carb

-Automatic trans TF999 taken out, cleaned, painted

-Dana 300 transfer case taken out , cleaned, painted

-Twin Stick shifting setup for transfer case

-Dana 30 front axle with all new axle shaft seals, bearings, ball joints, universal joints, front calipers, brakes

-Rear Dana 44 with 1 piece axle shafts out of a 1986 CJ7 that replaces the old AMC 20, new brakes, drums cleaned and painted

-New rear Tattons  double cardan rear drive shaft

-All new springs… Old Man Emu 2” lift yj springs with new shackle mounts and new HD shackles by Jim Crabtree (none of that extended shackle junk)

-4 brand new Old Man Emu shock absorbers

-All new exhaust

-All new body mounts to replace the old CJ ones that were getting flat

-20 gallon gas tank, cleaned, painted, new fuel lines, sender, etc..\

-Front and rear custom bumpers

-HD hummer steering gear (same thing as the old CJ one but with a bigger piston)

-New tie rod ends along with a Big Daddy tie rod that has been flipped to the top side of the knuckles for better clearance

-HD steering gear mount (not the flimsy stock CJ one)

-Tilt automatic steering

-Brass Mile Marker lock out hubs

-5 brand new Goodyear Wrangler M/T with Kevlar tires 32x 11.50 on new Mickey Thompson black aluminum rims and new lug nuts

-Brand new Sears Diehard Platinum battery (these are the best out there as they are made by Odessy)

-DUI electronic ignition with DUI live wires

-New motor mounts

-New sway bar bushings

-Sway bar disconnects

-Entire interior floor area and some side areas have been scuffed and a tinted epoxy liner put on.  Makes it quieter and much more durable.  Copper colored.

-YJ family roll bare from a 1994 wrangler with an OR Fab front sport cage is installed.  This give the rear more coverage by the brand new Bestop Safari top that extends further over the back

-Original nutmeg front seats in great shape with a black seat cover over them, rear seat is also nutmeg with no seat cover

-Aluminum rack that spans the rear wheel wells giving a top and lower storage function to the back area

-OEM spare tire carrier (not installed at the moment)

-1/2 rubber pad that is cut and fits in the back to prevent damage when putting things in

-Most of the original carpeting, formed to fit rubber mats in the front

-2 front seat tilt forward AND slide forward

-All new Spicer Ujoints on the entire Jeep

-All new extended brakes lines both front and back

 

EXTRAS:

A 1986 258 block and head with the 1/2 head bolt holes in the block.  Perfect for putting a 4.0 head on that uses the 1/2 bolts.   Block is in great shape as is the head…I planned on having it rebuilt and adding a performance cam, etc. to it….

Extra front drive shaft

2 extra starters

Original CJ7 roll bar

Boxes and boxes of misc. extra parts

 

She runs straight down the road and is a delight to look at.  Motor runs great, NO leaks at all from the entire drive train.  There is a tap-tap sound, might be wrist pin but it has been that way  for 30,000 miles. Right now it has 156,000 miles on it.  IF you do not want the OrFab roll bar setup and safari top, I do have the original roll bar and will drop the overall price by $550 if you want that original one installed instead and I keep the OrFab one for a friend of mine.

These original, rust free CJ7's are getting harder and harder to find due to accidents, rust, parting out, etc..  Get a great one while you can!

FCA is setting a five-year strategy: Here's how the last one played out

Thu, May 31 2018

We're slightly more than four years removed from Sergio Marchionne last five-year plan for FCA, a tell-all where the Italian-American automaker divulged its plans for the 2014 through 2018 model years. It was a grand affair, where Sergio told FCA investors that all was right in Auburn Hills, Alfa Romeo and Maserati were making comebacks, and the fifth-gen Dodge Viper received a mid-cycle refresh. You can read every last one of those past predictions right here. We're on our way to Europe to see Sergio's sequel, coming out Friday straight from FCA's Italian headquarters. (Bloomberg reports a plan to expand Jeep and Ram globally, combine Alfa Romeo and Maserati into a single division for an eventual spinoff, and downsizing Fiat and Chrysler. Also, EVs.) But before we arrive in Italy and find out exactly what Marchionne has planned for 2019 through 2023 as his last act as CEO, let's take a minute to tally up the results of his last term based on the same scoresheet we used in 2014. Now, we're only five months into 2018, so much of this — including vehicles like the Ram HD and Jeep Grand Wagoneer — could still debut this year. For those, we'll mark things TBD. We're not going to draw any conclusions or make any objectionable remarks. We're simply going to let the stats speak for themselves.

Chrysler expecting up to 200,000 9-speed transmissions for 3 models this year

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

Striving for improved fuel economy, we already knew that Chrysler will begin using a nine-speed automatic transmission in some of its new products this year, but what we haven't known is that volume at which this gearbox will be used. According to Bloomberg, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has been quoted as saying that the automaker expects to sell close to 200,000 units equipped with this new transmission in 2013. Those gear-rich trannies will be spread out across three models, consisting of the redesigned Chrysler 200, the still-unnamed Jeep Liberty replacement and the Dodge Dart.
This transmission should play a pivotal role in making Chrysler vehicles more competitive in their respective segments. Just for comparison, one of the Dart's key competitors, the Toyota Corolla, still uses a four-speed automatic, and a previous report indicates that the next-generation 200 could get up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway, which is better than most non-hybrid midsize sedans on the market. Marchionne says that the new Jeep model is expected during the second quarter of this year, but there is no word as to when the new 200 or nine-speed Dart will debut, but clearly Dodge would like to have the transmission in its compact yesterday. As for that volume figure, it definitely doesn't seem out of reach since the Dart, Liberty and 200 combined for a total of more than 225,000 units in 2012.
How many more gears can we expect in future cars? Probably not many more, since the CEO of transmission-builder ZF, Stefan Sommer, previously stated that nine speeds was the "natural limit" for transmissions.
