1985 Jeep cj-7 Renegade Chassis: Taken down to the bare frame. I have pictures. Every nut and bolt was taken off. The frame was sand blasted, then powder coated. I then started the assembly. I made a rolling chassis out of it. Grade 8 bolts where used along with stainless steel. Engine: AMC 304 V8. The motor was out of a 1979 cj7 with 77,000 miles on it. I took the motor into a machinist and had the following done. Both heads redone, New cam, block cleaned and decked. New pistons and rings, seals, D.U.I. distributer, with live wires, Edelbrock intake, along with all the other things Edelbrock makes for the AMC's. The motor was blue printed and balanced. Then put on the dyno for tuning. 255 H.P. at 5500 RPM's. 305 lbs of torque. I wanted a nice driving jeep. About $5500.00 into the motor alone. Exhaust: Stock manifolds, with custom bent dual exhaust. Porter Mufflers where used. It sounds mean. Not super loud. When you rev it up or get on it a little bit, you know there is a V8 under the hood. Transmission: Borg Warner T 5 tranny. I had the tranny rebuilt and the gears and shafts cryogenics coated. They say it should be 40% stronger. Then the tranny was dynoed. Works great. I love the overdrive, on the freeways. 2000 rpm's at 60mph. Transfer Case: Dana 300. Was gone through and put double lip seals on the output shafts and yokes. If ya know anything about Dana 300's they leak just a little bit. This one doesn’t with the double lip seals. Both drive shafts have new u-joints. Those are grease able. Front Axle: Dana 30 front axle. New Moog upper and lower ball joints. New axle u-joints. Yukon 4.10 gears with a Lock-Rite Locker. New wheel bearings and seals. Tie rods and rod ends. Front axle is all gone through and tight. No Cheep overseas parts. Rear Axle: AMC 20. Yukon 1 piece axle shafts. 4.10 gears. Auburn locking rear diff. Rear bearings and seals replaced. Brakes adjusted. Brakes: New master cylinder, NOT a remanufactured one. New Stainless steel hard lines, and flex lines. New parking brake cables. Brakes work great. As they should, everything is new. Fuel Tank: 20 gallon fuel tank, with new sending unit and pick up screen. Sand blasted and painted skid plate. Suspension: Pro Comp 2.5" lift springs. Pro Comp shocks painted black. Daystar towable front shackles. Rear Daystar shackles. Daystar main eye grease able bolts. Greaseable shackle bolts. All polyurethane bushings. The jeep rides really good. New poly sway bar bushing. Quick disconnects. Tires: BF Goodrich All Terrains. 33x12.50R15. Perfect shape with 2000 miles on them. Rims: Factory 15x7 rims. Powder coated Metallic silver. Very nice and clean rims. You can still see the stampings on the back of them. Mcguard, life time lug nuts. Good center caps. I haven't seen perfect center caps yet. Body: The body is nice and clean. You can still see every factory spot weld. Nothing covered up with body filler. Painted, factory Dark Honey Metallic. With PPG paint and clear coat. Phoenix factory replacement graphics installed. They look nice. I wanted to keep the body as stock as possible. Hard top repainted to match. All new weather stripping. Aftermarket bumper tire carrier. I wanted something that doesn’t touch the body. A 33" tire on a factory tire carrier is a little to heavy. The body was flipped upside down, sideways, you name and painted. Just as nice underneath as the top. No spray on bed liner or paint can special here. Super solid floors. Take a look at the pictures, Original metal. Interior: The dash is uncut original. Factory clock that was rebuilt. Factory V8 Tachometer, rebuilt. Speedometer cluster rebuilt. All items where repainted when rebuilt. They look awesome. Tilt steering column rebuilt. All gauges work and all lights work. Factory, original Honey seats. In good shape. Not perfect, but very nice and hard to find In Honey color. Tuffy center console. New Head unit in console. New dash speakers, new rear speakers with sound pods. Carpet kit is not original. I looked for a perfect one. I did not find one, so I installed an aftermarket one. Color is not the greatest. Heater has a new heater core. Blower motor upgrade. Works awesome. Tops: Hard top redone. Pulled out the glass and professionally repainted. Soft top. I have all the hardware for a Bestop Soft top. It was black. So I sold just the canvas. All it needs is new spice colored canvas. I do have a bestop bikini top for it. This is a great jeep. I wanted to keep it Close to stock looking, with some nicely done modifications and add-ons. I have all receipts for the jeep. Air Conditioning would be the only thing I would think about. Otherwise it needs nothing. If you want to look at the jeep or talk more about it, email me through eBay. I will give you my phone number.

FCA reportedly joins the crowd skipping this year's Paris Motor Show
Thu, Jun 14 2018It's likely FCA vehicles will not be seen at the Paris Motor Show this year. Automotive News is reporting that Fiats, Alfa Romeos, Jeeps and Abarths will not be a part at the show, based on information circulating in the French media. There's a possibility that Maseratis will be displayed at a special section dedicated to upscale cars, but Maserati too will not have a show stand of its own. Ferrari will have a stand, but as it happens, the supercar maker has been a standalone brand since 2015. Skipping the Paris show follows FCA's decision not to take part in the Frankfurt show last year, and the two shows alternate as the biggest autumnal automotive show in Europe. Volkswagen will also not attend the event, and neither will Ford, Nissan or Infiniti. This has become a problem for car shows worldwide, including Detroit's North American International Auto Show. FCA has not released a formal statement about the matter, but a FCA spokesman, quoted by the French magazine L'Argus, reportedly said that the sales and publicity brought in by the show stand would not justify the costs of attending. The news mirrors Volvo's newly announced plan to not take part at the next Geneva Motor Show, but to arrange "bespoke activities" to introduce its cars instead. Related Video:
Chrysler investing $20M in Toledo plant to support 9-speed auto production
Sun, 28 Apr 2013In 2011, Chrysler announced a $72-million investment in its Toledo Machining Plant to modernize production of the eight- and nine-speed torque-converters for automatic transmissions made there. That upgrade work won't be finished until Q3 of this year, but Chrysler has already announced a further $19.6-million investment to increase production capacity for the nine-speeders.
The extra units will be necessary because the nine-speed transmission they'll be mated to is going into three popular models: it will debut on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, then go into the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart. The company predicted that this year alone it would sell 200,000 units equipped with the nine-speed tranny, and it is spending some $374 million in addition to the investment in Toledo to upgrade production capacity for it.
The work attached to this new investment won't begin until Q3 of 2014, and it will be finished by the end of that year. There's a press release below with all the details.
2015 Jeep Renegade First Drive [w/video]
Fri, Jan 23 2015Would it surprise you to hear that a strong, vocal and loyal owner base can sometimes be a hindrance to automakers? Of course, no brand would ever admit such a thing. And sure, on the surface, you might think that having people passionately champion a brand would provide nothing but perks. As we've seen over the years, though, there are plenty of times when that's not the case. Jeep has most recently fought this battle following the arrival of the new Cherokee, where two-tracking purists and rock-crawling enthusiasts bemoaned the nameplate's dip into Crossoverdom. Now, with its latest vehicle, the off-road brand is trying to keep this vocal minority happy (or at least quiet) while building a crossover that has general-purpose appeal to consumers in an increasingly crowded and important small CUV market. This balancing act has produced the 2015 Renegade, a vehicle that, following our testing in sunny San Jose, CA, we're quite confident will appeal to both brand loyalists and the uninitiated, alike. Before we dig into the meat of our First Drive, if you're here looking for a review of the Renegade Trailhawk and its off-road abilities, you're out of luck. We did drive it, both on- and off-road, and will be publishing a feature on it in the very near future. But for now, we're focusing on the volume model, the Renegade Latitude. Instead of the off-roader-meets-E.T. appearance of the Cherokee that's polarized so many, Jeep has dipped its brush in the tin marked "Heritage," fitting a simple seven-slat grille, historically appropriate round headlights and square taillights. In between all that, there are flared trapezoidal wheel arches, like you'd get on a classic CJ or MB, tall windows to let in plenty of light and short overhangs. It's not the broader strokes that contribute to the Renegade's adorably busy exterior, so much as the myriad of smaller styling details that visually attach this new model to Jeeps of the past. The hood is long and mostly flat, forcibly recalling the bonnet of the original Willys MBs and Ford GPWs that US troops used to strategize, sermonize and operate on during World War II. But rather than make it flush with the grille, it bleeds over the headlights, like the front of an infantryman's helmet. The X shape found throughout the car is reminiscent of military-style jerry cans, while the mirrors are door-mounted, like Jeeps of old. The roof, meanwhile, can be blacked-out, further linking the Renegade to its big brother, the Wrangler.
