1984 Jeep CJ-7 Laredo- Black paint is all original with silver trim and decals.  This Jeep has been garaged while in my possession and had spent most of its life in Nevada.  The body is very solid without any surface rust and the it appears the undercarriage has been sprayed with a protectant as well. Engine is 4.2L 258 6 Cylinder engine runs and starts great, 5 speed manual transmission with Billet/Plus Competition Shifter and dual lever shifter kit for the Dana 300 transfer case, the 4x4 works great.  A Centerforce performance clutch was added.  It drives well with Cooper 31"x10.5x15 off road tires on custom rims (it has a rear mounted spare but its old).  Tread life on the 4 main tires is very good.  When I purchased the Jeep, I was told the motor was rebuilt and had around 27,000 miles.  I added a couple more thousand this past summer.  Under the hood the engine is very clean and has a D.U.I. distributor.  The exhaust is custom with tubed steel with a 2.5" chrome tip welded offering a nice rumble.  Chromed features include the front bumper, grill, hood latches and hinges, hood vent, side tube step and door handles.  On the rear bumper, a heavy gauge Rock Receiver with 2" receiver was added.  The front bumper features a 8,000lb winch.  The interior condition is pretty nice.  The windshield is free of cracks and rock chips.  The dash is in very good condition and all the gauges work (except for the clock).  When I bought the Jeep, it had a lousy Panasonic radio and blown dash speakers which I upgraded to a JVC KD-R530 (works with CDs, aux cable, usb cable) and Polk marine speakers and marine speaker wire.  I also ran speaker wires to the rear so a removable speaker box could be played (not included-I use it mainly in a little boat).  I also added a decorative diamond plate cover over the transfer case.  Driver and passenger seats are in great condition and are a comfortable, thick cushion.  Both seats have levers to slide the seats forward and flip forward allowing access to the rear seat.  The rear seat appears to be original and has a spot where the stitching is pulling apart.  The rear seat does not fold and tumble forward.  The carpeting is simple thin black for easy clean-up or drying.  The top-padded center counsel is a Tuffy steel security box where the main radio is stored and offers additional lockable storage and 2 cup-holders on the rear of it.  The hardtop is fiberglass with what appears to be amateur tint added to it, but also comes with a BesTop Supertop with tinted professional zip-out windows, bikini top and soft doors with plastic windows.  The hard steel doors don't appear to be original since the black paint seems to be off a shade.  I only drove it on clear days...no rain...no snow/salt.  The Jeep gets a lot of compliments and many thumbs-up.  Of course, with an old vehicle there are some flaws...she drips a little and the paint is original with minor hood dings and what I was told was paint fade from a tarp (see picture).  The front bumper has a scratch on it and the horn doesn't work (not sure why).  None of these flaws bothered me since the thing is so darn cool to drive.  I was even gifted a replacement windshield frame (only appears to be dusty), extra visors, rear fender flares and repair manuals which I will pass on to the winning bidder.  Good luck on the bids!

Stellantis mega-merger gets approval from FCA, PSA shareholders

Mon, Jan 4 2021

MILAN — Shareholders of Fiat Chrysler and PSA Peugeot decisively voted Monday to merge the U.S.-Italian and French carmakers to create worldÂ’s 4th-largest auto company. Addressing separate meetings, both PSA Peugeot CEO Carlos Tavares and Fiat Chrysler Chairman John Elkann spoke of the “historic” importance of the vote, which combines legacy car companies that helped write the industrial histories of the United States, France and Italy. Before the merger is finalized, shares in the new company, to be called Stellantis, must the launched. It will be traded in Milan, New York and Paris. The marriage of PSA Peugeot and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is built on the promise of cost-savings in the capital-hungry industry, but what remains to be seen is if it will be able to preserve jobs and heritage brands in a global market still suffering from the pandemic. The deal will create the worldÂ’s fourth-largest carmaker, with the capacity to produce 8.7 million cars a year, behind Volkswagen, Toyota and Renault-Nissan, and create 5 billion euros in annual synergies.  “We are fully aware of the fact that together we will be stronger than individually,'' PSA CEO Carlos Tavares told a virtual gathering of eligible shareholders. “The two companies are in good health. These two companies have strong positions in their markets.” The new company will put together under one roof French mass-market carmakers Peugeot and Citroen, top-selling Jeep and Italian luxury and sports brands Maserati and Alfa Romeo - pooling companies that have helped define the industry in the United States, France and Italy. While the tie-up is billed as a merger of equals, the power advantage goes to PSA, with Tavares running Stellantis and holding the tie-breaking vote on the 11-seat board. Tavares is set to take full control of the company early this year, possibly by the end of January. Fiat Chrysler chairman John Elkann, heir to the Fiat-founding Agnelli family and Fiat ChryslerÂ’s biggest shareholder, will be the Stellantis chairman. Fiat Chrysler CEO Mike Manley will head North American operations, which is key to Tavares' long-time goal of getting a U.S. foothold for the French carmaker he has run since 2014, and the clear money-maker for Fiat Chrysler. Such a deal was long wanted by Fiat ChryslerÂ’s long-time CEO Sergio Marchionne, who had predicted the necessity of consolidation in the industry. He was unable to find a deal before his sudden death in July 2018.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Jeep's Super 'Ute Is Fun Thrown In The Face Of Conventional Wisdom
Let's talk asses for a moment. What do they have to do with the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, you ask?
Well, we're here to tell you that this SRT can haul some. Lots of them, as a matter of fact: Jeep has increased the towing capacity of its most powerful SUV to 7,200 pounds. Assuming the average donkey weighs about 400 pounds, the Grand Cherokee SRT can haul ass to the tune of 18 burros, give or take a covered trailer or so, which is significantly more than it could in previous years. In 2013, the machine could manage 5,000 pounds, while the first generation was rated at just 3,500. The increase is mostly attributable to a new eight-speed automatic transmission and beefier rear axle, and it's a welcome update for those who'd like to use their SUV as, well, an SUV with an emphasis on utility.

Chrysler recalling 644k more Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs over brakes

Wed, 02 Apr 2014

Early last month, we reported on Chrysler issuing a preemptive, proactive recall for about 25,000 units of the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango. The issue revolved around a brake system that wasn't causing any actual problems, but delivered an unsatisfactory brake feel, so Auburn Hills called in a good 25,000 of SUVs around the world, including 18,700 in the United States.
Now Chrysler, having apparently determined that the brake problem on its sport utes is actually much bigger than it initially realized, has drastically broadened the scope of the recall. As a result, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for precisely 655,354 examples of the Grand Cherokee and Durango, covering the 2011 through 2014 model years. In addition, Chrysler is recalling 42,380 units in Canada, 21,376 in Mexico and 159,685 overseas.
The problem which Chrysler found revolves around the brake booster, whose center shell has been found to be subject to corrosion, allowing water to get into the brake system. That water in turn could freeze, preventing the brakes from working as well as expected.
