1985 Jeep CJ7 – Heavily modified for the ultimate trail rig 

This Jeep went through a complete frame-up build with over $40,000 invested. The intent was to build a stout rock crawler that not only can run the trails such as Hammers, Moab, Dusy or Rubicon with ease, but also be driven home from the trail.  

I have had this Jeep for over 18 years and it has been an incredible vehicle that has taken the family on amazing trips. It’s been in a number of magazines over the years and was featured on the cover of JP Magazine.

Specs are below -

1985 CJ7 (VIN: 1JCCF87E9FT079833)

Engine: 1995 4.0 High Output out of a Grand Cherokee

Transmission: New Process 435 4-speed with granny gear. A custom tube cross member was fabricated to maximize strength, protection, and ground clearance.

Transfercase: Dana 300  with Tera Low 4:1, Curry twin shifters,  and Dana-20 yokes

Crawl Ratio: 130:1

 

Axles and wheels

Rear Axle: Custom made Dynatrac Dana 60 made specifically for this Jeep and is stuffed with 4.88 gears and a Detroit Locker. Four X Doctor Dif Guard provides extra protection.

Front Axle: Custom made Dynatrac Dana 44 with 4.88 and a Detroit Locker. The shafts are custom Moser Alloy Shafts with CTM U-Joints for superior strength; Chromalloy Tie rod with 1-ton ends flipped on top of the knuckles completes the front axle. Four X Doctor Dif Guard provides extra protection.

Wheels: (5) Weld Aluminum 15X10 modified by OMF for the Beadlocks. IROK 36X13.5 (Bias Ply)

Suspension

The springs are custom made by National Spring. In order for National Spring to make them, I gave 3 weights of the Jeep, (1) front weight, (2) rear weight, and (3) total weight of the Jeep. Because the springs are made specifically for the jeep; the goal of maximum articulation, ride height along with a smooth ride were all reached.

Front Springs - Shackle reversal for improved ride and the springs are mounted on top of the axle. In addition, the springs are 10.5"-longer then stock for improved articulation and ride quality. Lastly, the front axle was moved forward 3” to increase the overall wheelbase of the Jeep.

Rear Springs – Springs are 1.5” longer for improved ride/articulation and are mounted on top of the axle for maximum ground clearance. The longer springs allowed room to move the axle back 1.5” to further increase the wheelbase. Because the axle was moved back, a custom 23-Gallon Aero Tank was fabricated. The tank has a notch to give the Dynatrac Dana 60 housing room during extreme articulation to not hit the gas tank. In addition, the Aero gas tank has a reinforced bottom to take abuse.   Lastly, to keep axle wrap under control, a Sam’s HD Traction bar was installed and mounted to a custom heavy duty cross member.

Wheelbase: Front Axel moved forward 3”, rear moved back 1.5”

Frame: Front half of the frame is completely boxed with 0.25 plate. This was accomplished by removing the engine, plating the frame, and reinstalling the engine to ensure proper plate coverage

Miscellaneous:

On Board Air – I installed a York AC Compressor that serves as the air compressor. The sidebars serve double duty - protection and air storage tanks. Because of the ample air storage, the jeep can run air tools such as grinders, cut off wheels and such.

On Board Welder – A secondary dedicated 160 AMP alternator was installed to power the welder separate from the one used for charging the battery, meaning the Jeep has two alternators. In addition, I installed a “control box” to accept the welding leads (stinger and ground). A Rubicon Express hand throttle controls the RPM of the engine (which controls the amperage to the stinger)

Full Cage by Four X Doctor. The front seats are tied into cage along with two cross bars, one just above the dash and another just behind the front seats to provide maximum protection for occupants and mounting points for the four point racing harness.  

Flexalite Aluminum radiator with electric fan. A switch in side the cab allows for turning the fan on and off. This is a great feature for water crossings or wanting the engine to heat up faster in cold climates.

Rear tire carrier  holds a full size spare tire and is equipped with a Hilift jack. IN addition, the HAM radio antenna is mounted to the carrier.

Underbody rock lights for night runs on the trail. The entire ground area is lit up during night runs.

Dodge muscle cars, armored Jeep to star in Furious 7 [w/video]

Wed, Mar 11 2015

We're less than a month away from the smorgasbord of speed, stunts and shooting that is Furious 7, and it arrives in theaters on April 3 as one of the first big films of the year. Starring Fast and Furious regulars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, plus Jason Statham as the big villain, this entry looks to be another exciting addition to the franchise. With such a major movie that features cars as much as the actors, it shouldn't be a surprise that an automaker is getting in on the action as a promotional partner. FCA US supplied nearly 30 vehicles for the film, including prominent roles for a 2015 Dodge Charger, Challenger R/T and armored Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. To really play up the connection, the automaker has laid out a global advertising campaign featuring its models. The marketing includes a variety of unique spots with the cars appearing online and in music videos. Among them in the US is a TV ad called Flash to the Future (embedded below) for the Challenger. Hopefully, Furious 7 can live up to all its pre-release hype. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Jeep does Renegade Chinese-style with Zi You Xia design concept

Sat, 19 Apr 2014

As we mentioned, Jeep is bringing a quartet of concepts to the Beijing Motor Show this year. Its largest model, the Grand Cherokee, is nowhere to be found, but its smallest is. That, of course, would be the new Renegade, which has been done up as the Zi You Xia design concept.
Taking its name from the Mandarin word (or words) for "rebel," the Zi You Xia takes its inspiration from the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing, with a Warm Chocolate Gray paintjob with contrasting dark bronze trim. The roof, grille and mirror caps are color-keyed to match the rest of the exterior, riding on 20-inch alloys in the same dark bronze finish.
Inside it's all Piano Black, Anodized Copper and brown leather with plaid fabric inserts. Scope it out in the high-res image gallery above and the press release below.

Weekly Recap: Ferrari looks to reclaim old success with new manager

Sat, Nov 29 2014

Clearly, Ferrari doesn't race for fourth place, and this week, major changes continued at the Scuderia. It was a rough year for Ferrari, and the Scuderia conducted its season-ending tests in Abu Dhabi this week with a view toward a fresh start in 2015 with new leaders and a new ace driver. Though plenty of other Formula One teams were disappointed with their finishes in 2014, Ferrari was perhaps the most eager to put this season in its rear-view mirror. The Scuderia finished a distant fourth in the Constructors standings with 216 points, well behind No. 1 Mercedes (701 points), and Ferrari failed to win a single race as the Silver Arrows dominated the grid. It was an especially bitter pill for a team that claims 16 Constructors championships and 15 Drivers titles – the most in history – and is the only surviving team from F1's first season, 1950. Clearly, Ferrari doesn't race for fourth place, and this week, major changes continued at the Scuderia. Ferrari named Philip Morris executive Maurizio Arrivabene as team principal. He replaced Marco Mattiacci, who held the job for only seven months after taking over for Stefano Domenicali, who resigned in April amid the Scuderia's early-season struggles. Phillip Morris (through its Marlboro brand) is a key Ferrari sponsor, and that played a role in Arrivabene's ascension. Still, he's no stranger to F1, and has been intimately involved in the Ferrari-Marlboro partnership. He also has served as the sponsors' representative on the FIA's F1 Commission since 2010. In a statement, new Ferrari chairman Sergio Marchionne said: "We decided to appoint Maurizio Arrivabene because, at this historic moment in time for the Scuderia and for Formula One, we need a person with a thorough understanding not just of Ferrari, but also of the governance mechanisms and requirements of the sport." Arrivabene's background is primarily in marketing and communication, and most recently he held the title of vice president of consumer channel strategy and event marketing for Philip Morris. He has been with the company since 1997. Arrivabene now leads a team that's rife with change. Marchionne took over in October when longtime boss Luca di Montezemolo quit in a disagreement about Ferrari's future, and the company itself will be spun off from parent Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in 2015.
