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 |

Chrysler's Woodward Dream Cruise festivities include Ram concept truck debut
Tue, 13 Aug 2013The streets will be crowded next weekend along Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak, Michigan for the 19th Annual Woodward Dream Cruise. As part of the run-up to the festivities, Chrysler has announced that all of its brands - Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Fiat, SRT and Mopar - will bring along their latest vehicles. Also included will be a collection of classic American cars and various activities for attendees at the official Chrysler location on the corner of Woodward and 13 Mile Road.
Special to this year, Ram brand director Bob Hegbloom and head of design John Dehner will unveil a Ram concept truck on Saturday. Chrysler will also bring Ryan Friedlinghaus of West Coast Customs fame along to show off a few custom Chrysler-made vehicles of his own. Fans of the brand on Facebook will get the chance to virtually customize a vehicle from the automaker's portfolio, with the winner getting their dream car built for them by Chrysler. Pretty cool stuff, no?
As in past years, Ford and General Motors will have an official presence at the event as well, and you can expect to see plenty of cars of all makes and models from all parts of the globe. The madness starts this Friday, August 16, from 4:30 PM to 10 PM, with the main event taking place on Saturday, from 9 AM to 9 PM. For more details on the show, including events and their times, check out the press release below.
Watch this Jeep Willys return to its birthplace after 70 years
Sun, 23 Jun 2013Earlier this month, a very significant Jeep was celebrated at the Toledo North Assembly plant. No, it wasn't the upcoming reincarnation of the Jeep Cherokee, but instead it was a 1943 Willys MB that visited the Toledo grounds where it had been built exactly 70 years ago to the day.
Of course, the actual building where the MBs rolled off the assembly line before heading to Europe for World War II no longer exists, but that didn't stop Italian owner Vittorio Argento from having the vehicle shipped to the US to make its trek back to its birth place. According to Chrysler, Argento's MB is still 95-percent original and it drove 1,000 miles from New Jersey to Toledo.
The whole adventure was chronicled on a blog aptly named A Jeep Comes Home. Scroll down for a brief video from Chrysler and for some photos of the Toledo visit and be sure to read more at Argento's blog.
2015 Jeep Renegade
Tue, 04 Mar 2014It's no secret that the midsize crossover segment is one of the most hotly contested battlegrounds in the automotive industry. Long have vehicles like the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 duked it out for those ever illusive consumer dollars. For many customers, though, even something like a Nissan Rogue is too big, whether in terms of price, fuel economy or just plain size.
For those customers, a growing market segment seems poised to fulfill their needs. Compact crossovers and tall wagons like the Nissan Juke and Kia Soul offer the high-riding driving experience with all the utility that comes from their two-box layout. It's an underrepresented segment among manufacturers, with big names like Toyota, Ford, General Motors and Honda lacking a true competitor.
To capitalize on this growing class, Chrysler's Jeep brand has readied this: the Renegade. That's right. Not Jeepster - Renegade. This diminutive off-roader, which rides on Fiat Chrysler's new small-wide 4x4 architecture, represents Jeep's first foray into the subcompact CUV segment as we know it, and it's making its official debut this week, on the floor of the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. Join us as we take a close look at one of Jeep's most important products in some time.
