This Jeep is only of significant value in California.  Finding CJ7's with legal V8 conversions is rare in California and the previous owner spent $8,500 on the engine/transmission conversion.


So far I've only had one person come and look at the Jeep.  They liked it but said it had too much motor for them.  Can you ever have too much power?

I bought this in 2006 and have rarely driven it since then.  The gal I bought it from used it as a commuter and rarely took it off road.  She also spent gobs of money on it and almost everything on this Jeep has been replaced or rebuilt.  The front seats are the only item I see that reflects 366,000 miles.  

No rust.

40,000 since a 1991 Throttle Body 5.7 Liter Chevy Truck motor was installed.   This installation is smog legal in California.  

700R4  4speed automatic overdrive transmission with  shift kit and Lokar shifter

Dana 300 transfer case

Summit Racing gear reduction starter

Dana 44 rear end with one piece axles (original in some 1986 CJ's), 4.56 gears and Auburn limited slip

Dana 30 front differential with 4.56 ratio.

Vintage brand aftermarket air conditioning.  The system is a recirculation type system so the intake vent was sealed off as shown in one of the photos.  The seal job was poorly done but could easily be cleaned up.  The previous owner paid $1600 for the A.C. unit.

Warn XD9000i winch (selling separately if this auction is not successful).

Rockford Fosgate Radio/CD player with Polk speakers

Kayline softtop

Bikini top

2.5 inch lift.  The front springs are YJ wrangler springs (2.5" wide instead of 2" stock width).

Currie shackles

Currie steering box brace

Braided Stainless steel flexible brake lines

Ubolt skid plates

Sway bar quick disconnects

Borgeson collapsible steering shaft

Fold and tumble OEM rear seat.

33" BFG mud terrains.  I checked the date codes and one is a KO style from 2004 and the other three tires are the older style mud terrains and are from 1995-1998.  They have been in the garage most of the time and I don't see any dry rot.  They came off another Jeep that I had parted out and four wheeled pretty hard.  The tires are somewhat cut up from rocks and hitting the previous Jeep's fenders but have at least 75% tread left.  

The spare is a 33" Goodyear and has 95% tread and is date code 2002.  The spare will be loose because the rack is not mounted.

The wheels are steel/chrome and a bit banged up on the edges because they were on my other Jeep.  The spare is aluminum.

Trail Quest extra 23 gallon extra capacity fuel tank.  The previous owner told me it's 23 gallons.  I suspect it's 20 gallons.

Notebook with all major records and conversion receipts/notes.

The steering wheel in the photos will be replaced with a new one.  I have an emotional attachment to the one shown.  I  can also let you buy your own.  I'll give a $125 credit if this is desired and you can ship my wheel back to me.

I bought a Warn rear bumper and tire rack that I never installed. It will come with the vehicle but will need to be installed by the buyer.

The old original spare tire mounting holes are shown in three of the photos.  The Warn bumper/rack mount to the frame and not to the body.

One of the photos of the left rear quarter panel shows where I tried to sand out a emblem someone had painted on the Jeep.  The paint is thin there and the gloss is gone.

The vehicle has two small oil leaks.  I would consider them more seeps than leaks because it's probably close to a drop a day from each spot.  There's no way to tell but the oil spot on the concrete is only about 1.5 inches in diameter over the course of a few weeks.  3 or 4 inches over the course of 6 months or a year.  Also, the fuel gauges works but is not correct, i.e. it moves but 1/2 tank mark is not actually 1/2 tank.

Reserve is $10,900.00 

Feel free to ask questions or give me any suggestions.

Next Jeep Wrangler to keep solid axles

Mon, Feb 16 2015

Jeep fans, you're not out of the woods yet, but the latest news is good: Automotive News reports that the next-generation Wrangler will stick with floating solid axles front and rear. Fiat-Chrysler wouldn't comment on the report, but the theory is that the combination of cost, capability, and ease of modification were deciding factors. We're sure the multibillion dollar aftermarket industry is also pleased. Remember, Jeep showed off the lifted Cherokee Dakar Concept at the Easter Jeep Safari last year, but the first ingredient in the recipe for jacking up its independent suspension was, "a whole new suspension." Above that there will be an aluminum body that's smaller than the current one, which Allpar says could be done with a narrower track and tighter gaps. It will sport a fixed windshield with increased rake to improve aero efficiency, and while there are rumors of a diesel-engined version that we'll finally get in the US, there's been no reliable info as of yet to back that up.

LA-bound 2014 Jeep Wrangler special edition gives us the Willys for $25,795

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The Jeep Wrangler might be the reigning king of special editions, but with sales records being broken almost all year, this plan is obviously resonating with buyers. Joining new models like the Dragon Edition and Polar Edition, the 2014 Jeep Wrangler is adding a new Willys Wheeler Edition to pay homage to Jeep's military heritage.
Getting ready for its big debut at the LA Auto Show, the 2014 Jeep Wrangler Willys Wheeler Edition is inspired by early Willys CJ (Civilian Jeep) models with exclusive styling and upgraded off-road goodies. Starting with a Wrangler Sport, these upgrades include a Dana 44 rear axle with limited-slip differential and 3.73 gears, along with meaty BF Goodrich KM Mud Terrain tires mounted to the Willys Wheeler's black 17-inch wheels. For more of a classic Jeep look, this model adds a gloss black grille, "Willys" hood stickers and rock rails to protect the side sills. Jeep is also tossing in a D-ring, tow strap and gloves that are all kept in a special carrying bag.
When it goes on sale early next year, the Wrangler Willys Wheeler Edition will start at $25,795 for the two-door model, while the four-door will start at $29,595. There's an official press release posted below, and we'll be sure to have live images of the special-edition Wrangler live from the LA Auto Show floor later this week, so stay close.

Jeep Renegade to show off new Mopar gear in Detroit

Sun, Jan 11 2015

Jeep's adorable new Renegade is arriving in the US market soon (we're looking forward to driving it in a couple weeks), and to highlight that fact, the American off-road brand is trotting out a pair of Mopar-modified compact CUVs for the 2015 North American International Auto Show. Rather simply, Jeep has modified one Renegade to show off its prowess in the city, and another that plays up the crossover's off-road abilities. Despite their different purposes, both vehicles show off Mopar's parts catalog and Jeep's Authentic Accessories lineup for the new baby Jeep. The Urban Renegade borrows uses a Renegade Limited with Anvil paint as its base and draws from the Accessories catalog, adding a number of Omaha orange accents and satin black wheels. Mopar donated a bike-hauling trailer hitch to the rear of the Renegade, while its cabin features Katzkin leather-lined seats. Once again, Omaha orange accents brighten up the Limited's cabin. As for the off-road model, Mopar got a bit more involved, starting with the Renegade Trailhawk and adding satin black wheels with Colorado red trim and X-shaped graphics, borrowed from military jerry cans, to the Commando Green exterior. A number of prototype and one-off body mods were fitted to the Trailhawk, including a concept skid plate, rock rails and a new rear valence. Inside, Katzkin leather was applied to the Renegade's seats while the Omaha orange accents from the Urban Renegade have been replaced with Commando Green bits and bobs in the off-road model. Look for more on these new Renegade twins come Monday, when we hit the floor of the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. Until then, check out the official press release from Mopar.
