Hey Jeep Lovers - This wonderful CJ7 belonged to my partner Max who passed away in August 2012.  He bought the jeep back in 1984 when he moved out here to California from Kentucky (via NYC) - he was a young, handsome actor (see MAX) - quite the ladies man - and he loved having such a great ride. Take the top down and drive to the beach or put it up and head to the mountains.  Years later I met him, years later, he still had the jeep and he took care of it. But no matter my cajoling, he didn't want to undertake extensive repairs. He would say, "Maybe later."  

Well, cancer happened and "later" became never. He left me with his beautiful beast of a jeep. It suited him in his cutoff jeans and aviator sunglasses. The Kentucky boy gone to sunny Cali. It's made for camping trips to Joshua Tree and driving on the beach in Pismo. It's an adventure all its own and it's got so much life left in it and so many memories to make. I've got to leave that adventuring to you- I am too much of a wimp to drive it; besides I am too short- my feet don’t even reach the pedals!

I decided to fix up the jeep (and boy did I ever!) and sell it to someone who will love it as much as Max did. Now... he’s probably smiling and shaking his head at me from the Great Beyond, since his “baby” got a newly rebuilt engine, fuel injection, Electronic distributor, new insides....and so much more.  

I wish I could’ve rebuilt Max like I’ve done with his Jeep! He was a real keeper. 

Take a good look...You are getting a “new” car in an older, but still pretty darn nice body! I've had this vehicle completely restored so check it out and drive it in great health!

Federal investigations about safety of rear-mounted gas tanks is nothing new

Sun, 09 Jun 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Chrysler are currently making waves in our daily news feeds due to a disagreement over the safety of a few million Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokee models. Specifically, NHTSA has asked Chrysler to recall the SUVs because of the location of their fuel tanks, but you may be interested to know that requests such as this are nothing new.
Besides the two Jeep models, NHTSA has launched investigations over the years in such models as the Ford Crown Victoria (and its police-car counterpart), GM pickups built between 1972 and 1987, and rather famously the Ford Pinto.
Understanding how automakers and NHTSA have dealt with fuel-tank-safety concerns in the past may offer a better understanding of how Chrysler and the government agency will settle their current dispute. Check out the complete article from The Detroit News here.

Land Rover Defender V8 vs. Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 | V8 4x4s square off on paper

Thu, Feb 25 2021

Land Rover pulled the sheet off its 2022 Defender on Wednesday, introducing another high-performance V8 to the off-road segment. This time, it's a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8 boasting 518 horsepower. It will be available in both the Defender 90 and 110 models. In the former, Land Rover says it can crack off a 0-60 run in just 4.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of 149 mph. The long-wheelbase 110 will be a bit slower, but "slow" probably isn't the right adjective to use here at all.  But Land Rover isn't the only automaker offering a high-performance variant of its off-road SUV. While Jeep may have been sneered at for presenting the 2021 Wrangler Rubicon 392 on the heels of the 2021 Ford Bronco's introduction, it starts to make a lot more sense in this context. There's reportedly a high-output Bronco on the way, too, so call Jeep the dinosaur of the group all you want, but you can't put a price on being first. Well, you can, actually, but that's not the point.  Thankfully, both Land Rover and Jeep have provided enough specs for us to rough out a comparison chart. Since the Rubicon 392 is offered only in four-door guise, we're looking at the long-wheelbase Defender 110 as its direct competitor here. Have a look: There are a few caveats to mention off the top. For starters, we don't have an official curb weight for the V8-powered Defender yet, as Land Rover has not finalized its U.S. specs. We used the European figures (as provided by a spokesperson), which we expect to be accurate within about 50 pounds. The 0-60 time provided by Land Rover was for the Defender 90, which is smaller and somewhat lighter than the 110. When equipped with the inline-6, the Defender 110 is about a tenth of a second slower to 60 than the Defender 90, so we figure it should be roughly the same for the V8.  While the Defender has nearly 50 horsepower on the Wrangler, that advantage disappears thanks to the Land Rover V8's monster weight penalty, which will fall somewhere between 600 and 700 pounds depending on equipment. Yikes. On the flip side, however, the Land Rover has the edge in top speed, and it's not even close. Chalk that up to the tires, we suspect. We know for a fact that the Rubicon 392's all-terrains dictate its speed limiter; Jeep's own engineers told us as much. This could make for a (hypothetically) interesting drag race, as the Jeep's advantage off the line may evaporate once triple digits come into play.
