1977 CJ 7 Jeep

 

This is a 1977 CJ-7 Jeep.  I have a clean title and am the sole owner of this Georgia / Virginia vehicle, that is now in California.  Started a ground up restoration 14-years ago.  However, my priorities have changed since then (wife, house, three kids), thus its time to let her go (the Jeep).  The vehicle has never sat outside - 100% garaged since start of restoration.

 

I have personally sandblasted and worked on every inch of this vehicle, replaced the minimal rust spots, smoothed primed and painted the frame with high-gloss black Imron paint.  It shines!  All the frame seams have been smoothed with seam sealer – this part is show ready!


The body is solid, no rust.  Undercoated and various panels replaced.  There is some filler on the cowl and engine bay that should be replaced (not my best work here).  Also, it appears that some rust has bled through the seams on the front passenger side of body (ugh, see photos).  I would rework these areas, otherwise, very smooth.  The defroster, heater, top holes, door holes have all been filled for a smoother look.

 

Dana 20 rear with 3.54 gears.  Completely rebuilt and has axle truss.  New one piece rear axles with four wheel disc brake conversion kit from SSBC.  Stainless steel brake lines, Rancho 9000 shocks.  Looks and is brand new!

 

It has a Sky Jacker 4” lift kit with new red poly body mounts.  Heavy duty shackles. 

 

Warn front and rear bumpers, with one Mickey Thompson Baja II wheel with a BFG A/T 33 x 12.50 spare on Warn oversized tire carrier. Currently sits on old restoration tires.

 

Custom diamond plate dash with battery cut off switch (no key ignition), all Auto Meter electronic gauges, new speedo.  It has a Flaming River tilt wheel column, new steering shaft and Grant Steering wheel. Heavy Duty AGR steering box and bracing.  New steering linkage, steering stabalizer, etc.

 

 

Iron Horse high back bucket seats with racing harnesses, new bikini top, carpet, and role bar padding, center console.  Most every bolt on the vehicle is stainless steel.  Diamond plate gas and brake pedals, as well as trans tunnel cover. KC Lights, and new stainless side view mirrors, and backup lights.

 

Fiberglass one piece front end that tilts forward with extra mm reinforcement – this is an amazing feature. Custom diamond plate trim pieces, fiberglass windshield frame and new windshield (not installed).  All new exterior trim / lights, etc.

 

Front is a fully rebuilt Dana 30 with all new front disc brakes, stainless steel brake line extensions and new warn hubs..  Again, every piece of metal has been replaced or sandblasted, primed and painted with the same high-gloss black Imron paint.  Also has matching front axle truss.

 

 Set up for Ford 302 motor with custom radiator bracing with high-flow aluminum Quick Flow radiator.  Hella horns, electric dual fans.   Has high flow fuel pump, new gas lines, etc.

 

This vehicle, while far along still has a ways to go.  It needs an Engine, Transmission, transfer case, wiring harness and four wheels and tires and minor body work and paint to make it a real head turner. The above items do not come with car.

 

I will entertain serious offers only.  You will need to arrange transport from my home.  The vehicle obviously does not run and therefore will cost more when transporting by professional hauler.   I have hundreds of hours of labor and well over $20K into this vehicle.  Its time someone finishes the job.

Key-swapping thieves steal Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT from FL dealer

Sat, 09 Nov 2013

Just a few weeks back, we reported on the theft of an Audi RS5 by a pair of creative thieves who managed to swipe the car's keys when the salesperson stepped away from their desk. Now, a Florida dealership is missing a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 after some crooks switched the Jeep's keys with an identical, non-functioning set.
According to the report from local NBC affiliate WPTV, the men went in and spoke to a dealer about the Jeep. They walked outside, took a look at it, started it up and in the process managed to switch out the fobs. After doing their time with the salesperson, the thieves walked back out to the car, got in and drove away.
"I mean obviously, the way it was done, I think that they were professionals and they knew what they were doing," said Arrigo Jeep General Manager Joe Tufo. "The fact that they did it in broad daylight and switched the key fob and it was like it was nothing. That's what makes it unique," he added.

2015 Jeep Renegade leaks out ahead of Geneva debut

Mon, 03 Mar 2014

Meet the Renegade - Jeep's new baby crossover that's set to debut at the Geneva Motor Show this week. The folks at Jalopnik got their hands on a small batch of photos of the new little cutie, showing what appears to be a Trailhawk (read: trail-rated) version, as well as a more civilian-spec Renegade, complete with a new removable roof system, reportedly called My Sky.
Details are slim, though in addition to the exterior images, one photo of the interior has also been leaked, showing what appears to be a small, yet functional (and nicely appointed) cabin. Early reports suggested that the new small Jeep would be based on the Fiat 500L platform, though Jalopnik rightly points out that the Renegade looks an awful lot like the Panda 4x4. Regardless, there's still likely some 500L bones under there, and we'll know more once the official details are revealed in the very near future.
Head over to Jalopnik for more shots of the cute little Renegade, and stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.

Daily Driver: 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited X Edition

Thu, Apr 9 2015

Daily Driver videos are micro-reviews of vehicles in the Autoblog press fleet, reviewed by the staffers that drive them every day. Today's Daily Driver features the 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited X Edition, reviewed by Adam Morath. You can watch the video above or read a transcript below. Watch more Autoblog videos at /videos. VIDEO TRANSCRIPT Hi, I'm Adam Morath for Autoblog. Now, undoubtedly, one of the coolest things about this job is that you're in and out of so many different vehicles, but, I'll be honest, there are times where, if you're in very similar vehicles, they can start to run together a little bit. That's why I love getting into a car like this that just snaps you right out of it because it's so unique and so different from anything else on the market. Of course I'm talking about the Jeep Wrangler. I'm in a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. This is the X Edition, which stands for X Games. Jeep is a big title sponsor of the 2015 Aspen X Games and you can see that all over this vehicle. You have white, glossy accent plastic in the interior; mountain graphics throughout the interior and exterior of the vehicle – a nod, obviously, to the winter sports and skiing that you would do out in Aspen. And then in keeping with that mountainous theme, you have an Alpine nine-stereo speaker system. I'll be honest, though, that some of it feels a little overdone to me. For instance, there's a power-bulge in the hood. Credit to Jeep: the vents are actually functional, but this is not the trim I would go for, just personally. It's one of those vehicles that people are always wondering, "I really like the look of it [and] I like the capability, but could I live with a Wrangler?" It's the same sort of question you'll get from people who are looking at a sports car, "could I actually live with this is my daily driver?" And I have to say, Jeep has come a long way – Wrangler, in particular, has come a long way – in terms of driving comfort. Of course, don't expect "Lexus quiet." You can probably hear it's a big noisy in the cabin. It's a bit of a bumpy ride. There are things about this vehicle that I could see being annoying in your day-to-day life. For instance, the door: it's essentially an external hinge on the door, but it doesn't stay open for you. So, if you're on any sort of a tilt, the door will come back in and you have to just prop it open with your leg. Little things like that.
