Specs


This Jeep began its life as a a banged up 1981 CJ.  After finding a complete barn-stored 1979 CJ body in South Carolina, we ripped off the old, sandblasted, painted and began the restore and build project.  I have a full set of pictures of everything that has happened to this Jeep from old to new.

1979 CJ-7
AMC 360 - TH400 Tranny - NP205 Transfer Case
Edelbrock performer 600 carb & intake
Headmann Hedders to cherry bombs (sounds awesome)
HEI distributor
Optima Yellow Top Battery
Spring Over Axle conversion with 2.5" BDS suspension lift on top.
2.5" Body lift.
Dana 44's front and rear.  Welded rear, posi up front.
Hi Steer kit
4 wheel disc brakes
38.5" Ground Hawgs with next to no pavement time on them
Electric fans
Electric fuel pump
Lots of braided fuel lines and AN fittings

Tub and under carriage are rhino lined.
Extended roll bar
Black diamond plate dash

New pushrods and lifters and timing set within the last year.

lots more.


We tried to build this Jeep for the street and for the mud but its only been used in the mud.  With some work it could be streetable.  The brakes will need to be tightened up (have to pump a lot), the steering is loose, the transfer case shifter needs to be modified (its stuck in 4-Hi... its the shifter not the case) and the wiring will need to be cleaned up.

All in all its still a classic 1979 CJ-7 with a lot of work done to it.

I have a ton of parts that will go with it.  Complete Dana 44 rear end with drums (if you want to ditch the welded rear)  Dana 44 front end that has been used for parts (knuckle, etc) but still has shafts and internals.  Tons of random accessories.  Seat belts.  Roll bar pads.  Bikini top.

Have a set of hard doors that aren't painted and need new glass that will go with it.

I have thrown an absurd amount of money into this Jeep and never use it.  Its just sitting in my barn.  Could be great for a Jeep enthusiast or great to finish and cruise to the beach.

I'm in no rush to sell but I never use it and would rather use the money for something else.

Text offers to FIVE SIX ONE - 239 - TWO TWO NINE EIGHT.  Cash talks.

It is for sale locally, so I may end the auction early.  We might be able to arrange a delivery if its somewhat close for fuel costs.


Possible trades: Side-by-Side set up (two rear singles and a front double) airboat w/ 6cyl aircraft or gearbox car motor.  3/4 or 1 ton buggy on tractor tires + cash.  Clean center console with outboard.

Jeep leads list of 25 most patriotic brands

Thu, 04 Jul 2013

It's not unusual to feel extra patriotic this time of year, what with the Fourth of July being today and all. As if to celebrate, New York-based research firm Brand Keys conducted a study among 4,500 consumers about what brands they find to be the most patriotic. According to the Detroit Free Press, Jeep took top honors in this study, besting other American stalwart brands including Coca-Cola, Levi's and Hershey's.
Interestingly, the only other automotive brand to make the list was Ford, in the 16th spot (motorcycle fans take note - Harley-Davidson claimed the No. 13 slot). This means consumers found Jeep to be more patriotic than any of the brands in the General Motors portfolio, including Chevrolet, which has long used American themes in its advertising over the decades.
According to Brand Keys, Jeep came in "with a score of 98 out of 100 on a scale representing consumers' emotional engagement expectations," the Detroit Free Press reports. Be sure to read the report to scan the entire Top 25 list for yourself.

NHTSA boss Strickland weighs in on Jeep recall fracas

Sat, 15 Jun 2013

Adding yet another chapter to the ongoing Jeep recall story, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) head David Strickland has gone on record to defend the government's request that Chrysler recall 2.7 million out-of-production Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Liberty vehicles after the agency investigated fiery rear-end collisions that have reportedly killed at least 51 people over the years. In statements made to The Detroit News, Strickland said, "We felt very strongly that the process that we undertook and the findings that we made and ... we made the decision to issue a recall request. We do not take that very lightly." The top US auto safety regulator stopped short of telling owners to park their cars until the automaker takes action. "They can make their own risk assessment and their own choices," he said.
Chrysler does not intend to recall the models, insisting the "vehicles met and exceeded all applicable requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, including FMVSS 301, pertaining to fuel-system integrity" when they were manufactured and sold. "The company does not agree with NHTSA's conclusions and does not intend to recall the vehicles cited in the investigation. The subject vehicles are safe and are not defective," Chrysler announced last week in a statement. "We believe NHTSA's initial conclusions are based on an incomplete analysis of the underlying data, and we are committed to continue working with the agency to resolve this disagreement."
Legally, Chrysler has until June 18 to formally respond to NHTSA's request. If the automaker does not take action, NHTSA is expected to issue a formal finding and seek a recall.

Win a car while supporting a charity this holiday season

Thu, Dec 9 2021

Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. No donation or payment necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes. See official rules on Omaze.  The leaves have fallen, there is a crispness to the air and there have already been multiple forecasts of snow, which can only mean one thing: We're coming up on Christmas. While you've been busy thinking about what kind of gifts you're going to give your loved ones, we here at Autoblog have been deciding which dream car we'd like to see in our driveway on Christmas morning. A car for Christmas does seem a bit extreme and expensive, but thanks to these Omaze sweepstakes, it doesn't have to break the bank. Here are the current sweepstakes we'd like to win this holiday season. Win a DeLorean DMC-12 - Enter at Omaze James Riswick, West Coast Editor: Let me be clear, the DeLorean is a pretty terrible car. Its speedometer doesn't even go up to the fabled 88 mph. Seriously, look at the pictures: tops out at 85. Also, who services a DeLorean? And how much would it cost to maintain one? $AlloftheMoney or just $MostoftheMoney? So owning it could be a total headache, but at least by winning one through Omaze, you'd be relieved of the financial burden of buying one in the first place. You'd also get the chance to own one of the most iconic cars of all time, one that transcends car enthusiasm and is instantly recognizable by everyone as the "Back to the Future" car. Plus, "everyone" doesn't know that the DeLorean was actually a pretty terrible car. So, I already own James Bond's car from 1995, why not Doc Brown's from 1985? Win a 2021 Bentley Bentayga V8 - Enter at Omaze Eddie Sabatini, Production Manager: Why am I choosing a +$200K Bentley SUV? Because even if I could afford one I'd never be able to wrap my head around spending money on one. So why not try to win one by donating what I can afford to a good cause? I first saw the Bentley Bentayga up close and personal at the Frankfurt Motor Show (I forget which year but I'll never forget this SUV). And although it looks like the Bentayga Omaze is offering up doesn't have the opulent tailgate setup I fell in love with when I saw it in Frankfurt, I'd still enter to win. Win a 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda - Enter at Omaze Byron Hurd, Editor: Few automotive marketing efforts stick out in my head more than the Mercedes-Benz holiday spots and magazine placements.
