1986 Jeep Cj7 Fully Restored Rolling Chassis With Mostly New Components on 2040-cars
Essex, Connecticut, United States
Offered for your consideration is a 1986 Rolling Chassis which has been painstakingly restored for my own Jeep CJ7 project which I haven't managed to complete. The frame and axles were completely stripped by a combination of sandblasting and wire wheel. Once stripped of all paint and corrosion, the body mounting brackets were all weld reinforced with large flat steel washers. A new rear cross member was installed. The remainder of the frame was in excellent condition. When the welding was completed and all welds were ground smooth, I carefully sanded all surfaces with a fine grit to prepare a smooth base for a quality paint job. The frame and axles were protected with POR-15 and then chassis coat black. Both finishes were sprayed on by a professional in a local body shop. Shock towers were removed, refinished and replaced. The axles are stock Jeep Dana 30 and AMC 20 and are fitted with new seals, new bearings, new calipers, new cylinders, new rotors front, new Drums rear, new stainless front rotor dust covers, all new brake hardware components, pads, speed bleeders, etc. New Russell stainless braided brake lines. All new stainless pre-bent brake and fuel lines. CJ Frame has a new M.O.R.E. Mountain Off Road Equipment front spring reversal kit installed with properly welded pivots as well as fully greaseable M.O.R.E. heavy duty shackles. Total suspension lift is 4.5 inches. The new parts installed on this chassis add up to $4300.00 not including the frame itself, the original axles, or the numerous man hours invested in this project. This is an incredible opportunity for someone interested in completing a restoration project. The most difficult part of the job has already been completed for you. The fuel tank skid plate sitting in the frame has already been sold and is not included in this listing. Likewise, I have included two photos of my tub for information only. It is not included in this listing. Please try to excuse all of the dust, shadows and reflections in the photos. This chassis is actually much nicer than it appears in the pictures. I also have many other new parts available as well as a fully restored and painted Wrangler tub, new painted fenders, new painted hood, BestTop Supertop, BestTop Seats, Borla Stainless Header and Cat Back Exhaust, AGR Super Pump and Super Box2, Kentrol Stainless, etc. Let me know your needs. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks, Rich 860-767-0729 |

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles: The next five years
Tue, 06 May 2014Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 24 hours, you've no doubt read about all of the big future product news coming out of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles today. We had individual brand reports from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Maserati and even Ferrari, but in the interest of simplifying and summarizing, we're going to list out the hard facts once more. Of course, with all of this still off in the future, there's still the possibility that a few changes will be made. But as of what we know right now, here's what's coming, and what's going away.

2014 Jeep Patriot and Compass ditch CVT for six-speed auto
Mon, 07 Jan 2013It was reported in Automotive News a few months ago, but a new report on Allpar.com adds some details to news that the 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot will get a six-speed automatic to replace the CVTs they currently use. According to a tip provided to Allpar, the 2014 models will begin production in March and be on sale sometime in the summer. The Jatco-sourced CVT in use until now - Jatco is owned by Nissan and Mitsubishi - has been often criticized, and many won't be sad to see it go.
The incoming six-speed automatic is said to be an all-wheel-drive cog-swapper that's the work of Hyundai and Magna and has been paired with the DynaMax AWD system used in the Hyundai ix35 and Kia Sportage. It won't be the only Chrysler product using a transmission with ties to Hyundai: the six-speed automatic in the Dodge Dart comes from Powertech, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hyundai. With the Patriot and Compass said to be driving down the trail for the last time this year, it will be a short run for the new tranny and the rumored addition of a backup camera and power rear liftgate on the Compass.
New England Patriots player helps driver of rollover crash
Tue, Jan 20 2015Winning the AFC Championship game to guarantee a spot in the Super Bowl would be a pretty major accomplishment for most people in a day. However, just hours after the victory, New England Patriots defensive tackle Vince Wilfork showed what he could do off the field, when he helped save a woman from an overturned car. Though, the player remained modest about what happened. Wilfork and his wife were driving home late at night when they spotted a flipped Jeep near Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA. Surveillance video showed Wilfork pulling over and running to the vehicle's aid to be among the first on the scene. Finding a woman trapped inside, Wilfork told her, "Don't panic," and according to Massachusetts State Police, the 325-pound player simply reached his arm into the vehicle and lifted the woman out to save her. She was later charged with driving under the influence. Hear Wilfork's description of what happened in the video above.
