I have my rugged CJ7 up for sale. This jeep has been in my family for the better part of 15 years, but i have just had a baby, so i need a more infant-carrier friendly vehicle. I am extremely meticulous in my vehicle maintenance; i often replace entire sets of parts instead of just the broken piece. Since i have been the owner of this jeep, i have performed a tremendous amount of work to keep it running strong. This jeep will probably not win any beauty pageants, but it will take you to all of them.
By vehicle sub-system i have replaced, maintenanced or updated:
Fuel
New fuel tank
Fuel pickup
Filler hoses
Filler neck
Gas cap
Soft lines
Fuel pump
Fuel filter
Carburetor -- Aftermarket Holley with manual choke and an ring air cleaner element available in any parts store.
Cooling
New brass-core radiator and cap
Water pump
Thermostat
Stainless bolts for the thermostat housing (old bolts rusted in place)
All rubber hoses
Heater core
Heater blower motor
Engine
Replaced the rear main seal (engine does not leak oil any more)
Timing chain (probably not necessary, but i already had the water pump out)
Ignition coil, plugs, wires, distributor cap and button
Replaced PCV valves and grommets
Electrical
Battery is less than 6 months old
Headlamps are Hella round enclosures with H1 bulbs -- which you can buy in any parts store, unlike the old sealed beam units.
All parking and exterior indicator lights
Interior
All new seats (front and rear)
NOS seat risers were used up front
Replaced seat belts and buckles
Floormats and steering wheel cover
Rear seat is a fold-and-tumble for additional space in the back
All new grade 8 fasteners were used when installing the equipment
All door and top seals were replaced
Drivetrain
Remanufactured Borg Warner/Tremec T5 5-speed manual transmission from JeepTransmissions. This is the same basic transmission that was installed in the old fox body mustangs, this is not the Peugeot unit that some jeeps came with.
Added a twin stick transfer case shifter -- this makes shifting from 2WD to 4WD and low to high range a breeze
Flywheel was resurfaced
Replaced pilot bearing
Replaced clutch disc
Replaced pressure plate
Replaced clutch engagement mechanism
Dana 300 was torn down and had new bearings and seals installed
Replaced aging U-joints with spicer U-joints to rebuild the drive shafts
Light weight forged aluminum wheels and General Grabber tires. I think this upgrade added 1 or 2 mpg by itself.
Braking
Replaced master cylinder
Replaced front hard lines
Replaced calipers and pads
Replaced all soft hoses
Replaced rear drums, springs and shoes
As you can see, i have invested some time and energy to maintaining this jeep through the time i have owned it. I have not modified it in any irreversible manner nor have i added any crazy lift kits. This is just a jeep at this point. It would be a great daily driver or a base for any serious off-road project. This jeep starts, runs and drives pretty well. The carb is tuned and it even works surprisingly well in the cold. The body has a few rust holes, but the frame and other equipment are all solid.
This jeep includes full-height steel doors and the original fiberglass hardtop.
Also available:
For an additional $100, i will include the original steel rims that came with the jeep. You could use these for mud or snow tires.
For an additional $300, i will include a set of new and never installed leaf springs suitable for a 4-inch lift. I bought these with the intention of replacing the entire suspension with an updated system, but in the end i never decided on a replacement.

2014 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year finalists announced [w/poll]
Tue, 10 Dec 2013The 2014 North American International Auto Show is right around the corner, which means it's high time we found out which cars and trucks would be finalists for the prestigious North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards.
The finalists - three in cars and three in three trucks/utilities - are dominated by American brands, with two-thirds of the finalists hailing from either General Motors or Chrysler (don't worry Ford, there's always next year), while outliers from Mazda and Acura can be found in each contest. Here now is the list of finalists for the big prizes:

Auto Mergers and Acquisitions: Suicide or salvation?
Tue, Sep 8 2015We love the Moses figure. A savior riding in from stage right with the ideas, the smarts, and the scrappiness to put things right. Alan Mullaly. Carroll Shelby. Lee Iacocca. Andrew Carnegie. Steve Jobs. Elon Musk. Bart Simpson. Sergio Marchionne does not likely view himself with Moses-like optics, but the CEO of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles recently gave a remarkable, perhaps prophetic interview with Automotive News about his interest and the inevitability of merging with a potential automotive partner like General Motors. Marchionne has been overtly public about his notion that GM must merge with FCA. For a bit of context, GM sold 9.9 million vehicles in 2014, posting $2.8 billion in net income, while FCA sold 4.75 million units and earned $2.4 billion in net income, painting a very rosy FCA earnings-to-sales picture. But that's not the entire picture. Most people in the auto industry still remember the trainwreck that was the DaimlerChrysler "merger" written in what turned out to be sand in 1998. It proved to be a master class in how not to fuse two companies, two cultures, two continents, and two management teams. Oh, it worked for the two individuals at both helms pre-merger. They got silly rich. And the industry itself was in a misty romance at the time with mergers and acquisitions. BMW bought Rolls-Royce. Volkswagen Group bought Bentley, Bugatti, and Lamborghini, putting all three brands into their rightful place in both products and positioning. No marriages there, so no false pretense. Finally, Nissan and Renault got married in 1999. A successful marriage requires several rare elements in this atmosphere of gas fumes and power lust. But a successful marriage requires several rare elements in this atmosphere of gas fumes and power lust, the principle part being honesty. Daimler and Chrysler lied to each other. The heads of each unit, the product planners, and finance all presented their then-current and long-range forecasts to each other with less-than-forthright accuracy. Daimler was the far greater equal and no one from the Chrysler side enjoyed that. The cultures were entirely different, too, and little was done to bridge that gap. Which brings me back to the present overtures by Marchionne to GM. "There are varying degrees of hugs," Marchionne stated in the Automotive News piece. "I can hug you nicely, I can hug you tightly, I can hug you like a bear, I can really hug you." Seriously?
Jeep going bigger with new Grand Wagoneer, smaller with sub-Renegade?
Tue, 11 Mar 2014The headlines are still rolling in for the new Renegade that Jeep unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show last week, but already reports are surfacing, citing sources within the company, about what Chrysler's iconic off-road brand will do next.
Speaking with Auto Express (whose reports we tend to take with a grain of salt or two), Jeep chief Mike Manley suggested that two courses of action are currently under consideration at Auburn Hills to develop two very different new models - one smaller and one larger than anything Jeep currently makes.
One plan would be to make an SUV or crossover even smaller than the new Renegade, although it isn't immediately clear what platform it would take. The Renegade (pictured above in Trailhawk spec) will be built in Italy alongside Fiat's upcoming 500X, but uses a heavily modified platform. We figure the smaller model, if approved, could base itself on the new Fiat Panda Cross.
