When I was looking for a nice CJ - I spent MONTHS searching and drove 100's of miles to see nothing but rust / bondo / oil leaks and vehicles that couldn't stay on the road if it was lined with rails. I purchased this 1985 CJ 7 about a year ago from an individual who had just converted it over to a V-8 Chevy / Auto transmission - all rebuilt items. It was about 95% complete, upon my purchase I immediately took it to a friend of mines Hot Rod shop where he went thru it completely and buttoned up all the "loose ends".  He replaced a few gaskets, added a new steering box, flywheel cover, repaired wiring, blinkers, etc.  I wanted this Jeep to be safe and road ready for anyone to drive it.  Included in this Jeep is a Rebuilt Chevy 305 with a Turbo 350 automatic transmission. Twin stick transfer case that allows Hi / Low in 4wd / 2wd front / 2wd rear. 6" lift. 35" BFG's. Full size spare on swing-out mount. Full soft top with no rips / tears and a new bikini top. Has 2 sets of doors - one soft and another 1/2 steel that I fabricated this past winter. Edelbrock 4 barrel carb, intake, valve covers and chrome headers. All new dual exhaust that has an awesome sound. Runs straight and tight at 75 mph down the highway. Rhino lined tub with full carpet. Heater core installed and has heat AND defrost - Very rare to get this in a Chevy V-8 conversion. Body is rust free and straight. After purchasing, I added all new suspension, steering box, suspension bushings, seat covers, fuel system filter, radio, 4 speakers, front windshield and custom built Stinger front bumper. Speedo doesn't work correctly with the oversize tires, so I added an iPhone mount to the dash and use a GPS app - works perfect. Odometer shows 120K, but I've driven it less than 2,000 since purchase / rebuild.  Selling because I now want to get a new Rubicon 4 door, vehicle is available to see in person by appointment in Rockwall Texas - just East of the DFW metroplex off of Interstate 30.  I've included as many pictures as I could add - THERE WILL BE NO UNFORSEEN SURPRISES IF YOU DECIDE TO PURCHASE OR REVIEW THIS JEEP!  It is as nice in person ans it looks in pictures - guaranteed!  

Thank you for looking - ask any questions - bid with confidence

2014 Jeep Cherokee will keep Liberty designation in China... sort of

Wed, 17 Apr 2013

Chinese buyers will get their first live look at the 2014 Jeep Cherokee during the Shanghai Motor Show, but CarNewsChina is reporting that it will go by a different name - Ziyou Guan, which translates to "Liberty Light." The article states that our Jeep Liberty was never sold in China, but the iconic XJ Cherokee was sold and produced there as the Qinuoji (a phonetic translation of Cherokee).
The new Jeep Liberty Light will be built alongside the Fiat Viaggio (China's Fiat-badged version of the Dodge Dart) at the Guangzhou-Fiat plant, and the two models will share the same powertrains: a 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder base engine paired to a five-speed manual or a dual-clutch transmission and a 2.4-liter four-cylinder (the base engine for the US-spec 2014 Cherokee) as an optional engine. It doesn't sound like the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 will be offered in China.
We'll be on hand when the new Jeep debuts in Shanghai, so stay tuned to Autoblog this Friday night and Saturday for our live coverage of the show.

Jeep to stop using bad Takata airbag inflators next week

Tue, Jun 21 2016

FCA is gradually ceasing to produce vehicles equipped with Takata airbag inflaters found to be inherently faulty. These airbags, which lack a certain drying agent, have been linked with dangerous premature ruptures. According to FCA, the only vehicle still in production with the named airbag is the 2016 Jeep Wrangler, and in this case they are passenger-side airbags. Fiat Chrysler says it isn't aware of any incidents involving these air bag inflaters in Jeeps, but amidst concerns that vehicles with failure-prone airbags are still being marketed to customers, North American-market 2016 Wranglers will cease to be equipped with them starting next week. As per FCA's statement, global production is expected to end by mid-September. In addition to Toledo, Ohio, the Wrangler is produced in Egypt. FCA isn't going to sell the cars with the deemed-faulty airbags without disclosing the fact to the customers: anyone buying a 2016 Wrangler will be notified that the vehicle will most likely be subject to a recall in the future, even if there is not currently a recall announced for them. NHTSA has specified a "Coordinated Remedy Program" recall schedule for the coming years, and the airbag inflaters will degrade over a time frame of several years, when subjected to a humid environment.

Jeep dealer buries WWII Willys GP in showroom floor

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

The Willys MB Jeep earned icon status during World War II thanks to its ruggedness, simplicity and go-anywhere ability. Following the war, it didn't take long for the handy vehicles to be scooped up by the public, and a brand slowly grew around the vehicles that has continued to thrive. Fast-forward to present day, where it's not uncommon for auto dealers to try to grab some of the magic of yesteryear by displaying classic models to connect customers with their brands' proud histories. Now, a Canadian Chrysler Group dealer is taking that notion to the extreme by actually making a vintage WWII Jeep part of its foundation.
Bay King Chrysler in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, recently completed its new showroom, and the franchise really wanted to show its dedication to the Jeep brand. As dealer principal Jamie Richter tells Autoblog, the inspiration for the Jeep installation came from his brother, who became fascinated with a home that had a glass floor looking down into its wine cellar. The company already had the 1943 Willys MB to display, but it had originally planned to build a jungle gym around it for customers' kids. Now, the classic is literally in the floor as customers enter. Richter tells Autoblog that customer reaction so far has been "fantastic."
It's certainly a novel way to bring people into the showroom, and seemingly a nice nod not only to Jeep, but to the men and women who served in the war. If you want to see more about how the Jeep was actually installed and what it looks like, check out this video.
