For Sale 1985 Jeep CJ-7 125,500 Miles VIN: 1JCCM87A2FT022294 OverviewYou are looking at a 3 owner 1985 CJ-7. This Jeep has been built for reliability, safety and the ability to do some mild trail riding. Lots attention to detail make this Jeep enjoyable both on and off the highway. It is titled, insured and passed emissions inspections up until it was registered as an antique in 2010. It drives and tracks well. Both axles are equipped with Detroit lockers and alloy axle shafts. The power steering is tight and the hydraulically boosted brakes are powerful. The emergency brake system was just serviced and holds well. All the electrical components work including the windshield washers and dash lights. The speedometer works and is accurate. There are lots of extras on this Jeep. See below. The fuel injection and ignition systems are fully programmable and a netbook and software is included for tuning and engine monitoring if you wish to do so. The EFI system uses an Innovate wide band O2 sensor for maximum tuning accuracy. The Jeep was purchased new in Texas and kept as a daily driver for many years. I am the third owner, with the second being a close family member. The Jeep was moved to the East Coast in 2002 and has been garaged or under a carport its entire life. It has been regularly serviced and has run Mobil One fully synthetic engine oil for most of its life. The roll cage was fabricated by a well-known fabrication shop, A to Z Fabrication, on the East Coast. It's main strucutre, made from 2" DOM tubing, is triangulated in numerous spots and mounts the suspension seats and five point Crow harnesses. The factory style seat belts were maintained and integrated into the roll cage for convenience. This gives you the option of wearing either the regular seatbelt or the 5 point harness. The seatbelts themselves are brand new. The Jeep is set up for flat towing and comes with a tow bar. The Jeep is sporting its original paint with spots of touch up paint in various locations around the vehicle. Known Issues: There is minor rust through in two of the four spots where the original rollbar met the body. These areas were not painted at the factory and tend to collect water and rust. It was not visible when the original roll bar was installed in the Jeep. See photos and video. Otherwise there is no rust through on the body or frame, only minor surface rust in the wheel wells and tub floor where the paint has been worn off. There has been no body work done to this vehicle. All the body panels are original and there is no body filler on this vehicle. The body has a few minor dents, including the front left fender, the rear right corner and the right rocker panel (not visible under the rocker guard). See photos. The engine drips a few drops of oil after being run for a long period of time. There is a very minor gear oil leak at the rear differential cover. It leaks a drop or two after being driven. The jeep will pop out of second gear on steep down hills. This is most likely a worn syncro, but it doesn't affect normal shifting. The front most exhaust manifold bolt hole on the head failed many years ago. A bracket was fabricated and installed to replace the bolt. The heater's air "recirculation" control cable is broken. The vehicle has no accident history and a clear Carfax history, which is available. Note that per Virginia law, the license plates will be removed before transfer. The buyer will be responsible for reregistering the vehicle in order to legally operate it on Virginia roads.

Jeep recalls 92k Grand Cherokee SUVs over electrical issue
Thu, 07 Nov 2013According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Chrysler is recalling 91,559 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs from the 2014 model year due to some serious electrical issues. All of the affected models were built between January 8 and August 20, 2013.
The NHTSA report states that, "Due to a disruption of computer communications and loose alternator ground wires, the affected vehicles may experience random illumination of multiple instrument cluster warning lights, loss of cluster illumination and loss of anti-lock brake system (ABS) and electronic stability control (ESC) function." The loss of ABS or ESC would greatly reduce a driver's ability to control the vehicle if things get squirrely, and since these failures would not be illuminated on the dashboard display, drivers would not be warned of the issue, increasing the risk of a crash.
The recall is expected to kick off sometime this month. Chrysler will notify affected Jeep owners and dealerships "will update the ABS and instrument cluster module software and tighten the alternator ground wire," according to NHTSA.
Stellantis ready to kill brands and fix U.S. problems, CEO Tavares says
Thu, Jul 25 2024Â MILAN — Stellantis is taking steps to fix weak margins and high inventory at its U.S. operations and will not hesitate to axe underperforming brands in its sprawling portfolio, its chief executive Carlos Tavares said on Thursday. The warning for lossmaking brands is a turnaround for Tavares, who has maintained since Stellantis was created in 2021 from the merger of Italian-American automaker Fiat Chrysler and France's PSA that all of its 14 brands including Maserati, Fiat, Peugeot and Jeep have a future. "If they don't make money, we'll shut them down," Carlos Tavares told reporters after the world's No. 4 automaker delivered worse-than-expected first-half results, sending its shares down as much as 10%. "We cannot afford to have brands that do not make money." The automaker now also considers China's Leapmotor as its 15th brand, after it agreed to a broad cooperation with the group. Stellantis does not release figures for individual brands, except for Maserati which reported an 82 million euro adjusted operating loss in the first half. Some analysts say Maserati could possibly be a target for a sale by Stellantis, while other brands such as Lancia or DS might be at risk of being scrapped given their marginal contribution to the group's overall sales. Stellantis' Milan-listed shares were down as much as 12.5% on Thursday, hitting their lowest since August 2023. That brings the loss for the year so far to 22%, making them the worst performer among the major European automakers. Few automotive brands have been killed off since General Motors ditched the unprofitable Saturn and Pontiac during a U.S. government-led bankruptcy in the global financial crisis in 2008. Tavares is under pressure to revive flagging margins and sales and cut inventory in the United States as Stellantis bets on the launch of 20 new models this year which it hopes will boost profitability. Recent poor results from global carmakers have heightened worries about a weakening outlook for sales across major markets such as the U.S., whilst they also juggle an expensive transition to electric vehicles and growing competition from cheaper Chinese rivals. Japan's Nissan Motor saw first-quarter profit almost completely wiped out on Thursday and slashed its annual outlook, as deep discounting in the United States shredded its margins. Tavares said he would be working through the summer with his U.S. team on how to improve performance and cut inventory.
Jeepster name may be used for Fiat-based baby Jeep
Tue, 17 Dec 2013In 1948, Willys-Overland, the forbearers of Jeep, built a vehicle called the Jeepster. It was a funky little thing, designed as a mix of the more rugged Jeeps that came before with what was then a modern car, which arguably makes it the world's first crossover. The name was later revived from 1966 to 1972, which means for Jeep enthusiasts, it has some history.
Now, the modern Jeep brand may revive the Jeepster name for a new product, likely based on Fiat bones, that will slot in at the bottom of the brand's range underneath the soon-to-depart Compass and Patriot. The report comes from Australia's Drive, which cites a dealer source that has seen the vehicle.
That same dealer confirmed there is a link between the Jeepster and the rumored Fiat 500X, and that the former will be available in both front and all-wheel-drive variants. The source also claims both gas and diesel engines will be available, although as this is an Aussie site, we shouldn't take that to mean we'll get a diesel Jeepster in the US.
