Nothing says "I'll go anywhere" quite like a Jeep CJ7 especially one with substantial upgrades under the skin. More power more suspension and a full cosmetic makeover make this 1983 Jeep CJ7 the ultimate way to get noticed. It might just be the most recognizable automobile in the entire world. It has been on every continent and crossed the most forbidding land in the world. Even more than 40 years after it arrived on the scene the evergreen Jeep kept its rugged good looks. Someone has kept up with this one restoring it as-needed over the course of its three decades. CJ7s were notorious for rusting particularly around the rear of the body but this one was spared that fate thanks to a lifetime someplace warm and amazingly it's never needed a full restoration. The black paint isn't perfect but it is nice enough that you'll stand out at the local cruise and definitely think twice about plunging into the brush with it and you'll definitely have the hardware to get wherever you need to go. Accessories include chrome bumpers and grille tubular steps plus a khaki soft top with soft doors and matching bimini top. WWII GIs would have killed for an interior like this in their Jeeps but it remains simple and durable in the best off-roading tradition. New black bucket seats look expensive and upscale gripping you tightly when you're rocking around in the dirt. The dash has been painted in the same black paint as the body with all the original gauges reinstalled so it has a custom look that's all Jeep. Also the interior has been completely Rhino lined to stand up to any amount of dirt that you can throw at it. Black rubber mats and matching roll bar padding give it a go-anywhere feel and there's no denying that it's still basic and rugged. The entire condition suggests it's been well maintained. Mechanically this Jeep is virtually invincible. Many Jeepers prefer an engine swap and this one has it. It has avery smooth torquey Edelbrock Chevy 350. The engine bay is tidy and has not been submerged or driven in the really harsh environments. There are plenty of signs that someone loved this CJ. A 1-inch body lift and gives the suspension a little extra clearance when it's needed. The 4-speed manual transmission shifts smooth with a nice stiff clutch. Newer shocks and a true dual side exhaust ensure reliability and comfort anywhere you go. Handsome 15-inch aluminum wheels wear big 33x12.50-15 off-road tires that look so cool that you should keep them even if you never plan on going off the pavement. If you like playing in the dirt this CJ7 is the right tool for the job. And even if you don't it has the right look and plenty of comfort to drive every day.

Chrysler recalling nearly 141k vehicles over electrical woes
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Software glitches that randomly illuminate warning lights and cause instrument cluster blackouts are forcing Chrysler to recall 140,800 vehicles, The Detroit News reports. The automaker is recalling 132,000 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokees, 91,559 of which are in the US. In addition to the Jeep recalls, Chrysler is adding 10,800 2014 Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 trucks to the list for similar problems.
Chrysler reportedly says, "Both events occurred infrequently and appeared to resolve themselves by tuning the vehicle's ignition off and then on."
Engineers discovered a problem with the anti-lock-braking system software that causes the instrument cluster display of the Grand Cherokee to illuminate warning lights and black out - even its ABS and electronic stability control systems are affected. To fix the Jeeps, Chrysler will update the vehicle's software.
FCA and UAW deal could mean huge production shakeups
Thu, Sep 17 2015The big labor contract between Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and the United Auto Workers is likely to lead to some very serious production shakeups across the company's North American manufacturing operations. That's according to a new report from Automotive News, which details the sweeping changes at no fewer than five production facilities in Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Mexico, and Poland. So without further ado, here's what's going where, presented in easy to digest bullet form. Ram 1500 production would move from Warren, MI to Sterling Heights, MI Warren, MI would be retooled for unibody production and would handle the Jeep Grand Wagoneer and could potentially build Grand Cherokees to ease the strain on Detroit's Jefferson North factory Chrysler 200 production would move from Sterling Heights, MI to Toluca, Mexico Dodge Dart production would move from Belvidere, IL to Toluca, Mexic Fiat 500 production, which is currently handled by Toluca, would be concentrated in Poland, where the Euro-spec Cinquecento is built Jeep Cherokee production would move from Toledo, OH to Belvidere, IL to make room for Wrangler and Wrangler Pickup production Like we said, those are some big changes. But, as FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne said in an earlier interview with Automotive News, this kind of shakeup would make a lot of sense. In that August interview the exec said that automakers moved truck production to Mexico because they were "threatened" by the UAW. "The only thing [the UAW] want is to move the truck back. Which is right. If you move the truck back here, which is [the UAW's] domain, [and move] all the cars that we get killed on somewhere else, we could actually make sense of this bloody industry and actually increase the number of people employed in this country and really share wealth because we are making money," Marchionne told AN.

Another crazy custom Jeep Wrangler spotted in Morocco
Sun, 03 Mar 2013What in the world is the vehicle you see above? Well, um... yeah. We have no idea. According to the video description from YouTube, however, it's a modified Jeep Wrangler, and it comes from the same person who created the equally insane side-by-side merged Wrangler you saw here.
We can clearly make out the Wrangler-shaped passenger compartment up top, but as for the other bits and pieces that make up this rather amazing machine, your guess is as good as ours. At the very least, it seems to us that the car's wheelbase has been given a significant stretch, and the grille may have come from an International LoneStar Harley-Davidson Special Edition semi truck.
What other components are sourced from the massive International hauler? No idea. We suggest you check out the video below and draw your own conclusions. Oh, and if you've got any other ideas, feel free to let us know in the Comments.
