1984 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade, Runs Great, Clear Title. No Reserve!

Must be picked up by July 30, 2014. More Pics coming soon, I got rained out. If I get a bid and can't add photos tomorrow, I can email my better pics with the top and doors off.

  Summary (details below): 133k miles on the odometer/body, & approx. 40K on V8 engine and drivetrain since rebuild. California Jeep for most of its life so only minor surface rust in a few places (cleans right up), zero corrosive rust. AMC 304 V8, 5 Super Swamper TSL SX 35x15.5x15 tires at least 80% tread (Ill measure). Spare is new/unused & on wheel. Black steel wheels, full custom powder coated roll cage, 14 & 10 bolt axles (STRONG) with 4 wheel disk brakes, HD high steer & tie rods, & full SOA conversion. Body and interior are in great shape and frame is perfect. Paint is showing age but in a good way. I used it as my daily driver and for mild off road, like construction sites and trails, easy stuff (seriously, my back is sensitive). It’s capable and will enjoy tackling much more. Very stable ride (CJ5’s and stock 7’s are too narrow & tippy, this one is wider), tow hitch & harness. Hardtop (no cracks), hard doors (locks, handles & windows work), Bikini top. Upgraded vinyl seats (no tears, great cushion, matching). Needs a new steering box (see below, has HD steering bracket and new joints). CJ-7 is from CA, spent a few month in FL, and since 2005 Ive owned it in TN.

 Engine Upgrades: Amc 304 V8, rebuilt and upgraded. BRAND NEW 600cfm Edelbrock 1405 carburetor and air cleaner (both with packaging, receipt & warranty), Edelbrock Performer intake manifold, large HD aluminum radiator, headers, performance rocker arms & ignition coil. Internals are probably upgraded also, I never tore it down. Extremely powerful, expensive upgrades, starts immediately. Idles and revs smooth as can be. Reliable. Great oil pressure, always used performance oil and filters & 3,000mi changes. The engine was swapped by a previous owner in CA, I did some upgrades. The valve covers are leaking a little, they were over torqued. If you like the clean look it could use a polish.

  Drivetrain: Tremec T176 4 speed manual transmission w/ rock shifter. Clutch & throwout bearing upgraded (~10k mi). Dana 300 Transfer case, rear CV driveshaft w/ HD U-joints. Axles: GM 14 bolt rear, 10 bolt front (both w/ disk brakes), traction control, 4.11 gears, Mile Marker supreme locking hubs, front 4x4 just needs front driveshaft and Tcase lever. I lost the cotter pin, then lever (might find but if you bring, we can install). Tcase engages properly. Comes with pair of new BDS-suspension 2.5front lift springs w/ blue bushings (expensive, lifetime warranty, not yet installed). All suspension lift, no body lift. Most of the suspension and drivetrain work was done by a Jeep mechanic in TN. It’s about time for new diff oil and gaskets (7oz. Permatex RightStuff included).

  What it needs: Mufflers (my flowmasters were stolen, everyone has a muffler preference so I’ll leave the replacement up to you) & requires new steering box. Everything else is operational. All other steering and suspension is fine, but the steering box is binding and should be replaced/upgraded.  Drives & brakes, but steering is too difficult for traffic, I drove it some today (very hard to steer but sort of possible). Because of this, Jeep should be trailered home (requires wide base trailer or rollback) and is not quite highway ready. I prefer you pick it up but If need be, I could help arrange a tow, up to 100mi using my AAA. Delivery would be final and require meeting me & purchasing before the tow (you can ride with tow truck or follow). When you’re ready for 4x4, it needs a front driveshaft but everything else is fine. Im out of money or I would upgrade the box and front driveshaft myself.

 Interior: Full sound system. Alpine 9847 mp3/cd player (not installed but works), polk audio speakers, 2 MTX 10” subs in boxes, 700w Bazooka amp (amp has protection mode issue). Most dash gauges and knobs work, including speedo gauges, wipers, lights, voltmeter, fan, oil pressure etc. Seat belts work. No horn, small center console. Loud speaker and spare rear lift gate included.

 Exterior: Renegade decals in good shape, paint is chipped but not worn out. Front passenger fender is slightly dented and rear passenger brake light is cracked (works). Driver’s side windshield bracket is cracked but holds. Basically, I don’t wash my CJ very often…Its awesome the way it is.

Ive owned it since 2005. Clean title and carfax. If you're interested in this quality rare jeep, please bid and send me a message. A true joy to own, this jeep still has it's soul. A really fun vehicle, so many great memories. Day or night inquiries are fine. Just serviced by professional mechanic shop this week, they replaced the distributor points and checked everything over. This jeep isn't perfect and I wasn't finished upgrading, but it's strong and doesn't need much for frequent trail excursions or for daily driving.

Amazing tires, powerful/reliable engine, solid metal. It’s a built and capable CJ-7 Renegade!

Stellantis suspends vehicle production in Russia

Tue, Apr 19 2022

MILAN - Stellantis on Tuesday said it was suspending production at its Russian plant due to logistical difficulties and sanctions imposed on Moscow. The world's fourth-largest automaker, which produced and sold the Peugeot, Citro¸n, Opel, Jeep, and Fiat brands in Russia, has just 1% of the country's car market. It runs a van-making plant in Kaluga, around 125 miles (201 kilometres) southeast of Moscow, co-owned with Japanese carmaker Mitsubishi, which halted production at the facility earlier this month. "Given the rapid daily increase in cross sanctions and logistical difficulties, Stellantis has suspended its manufacturing operations in Kaluga to ensure full compliance with all cross sanctions and to protect its employees," Stellantis said in a statement. The plant employs 2,700 people. The company will continue to pay salaries through a local downtime scheme and by using anticipated vacation periods, Stellantis told Reuters. It said it did not know how long the stoppage would last, adding that its priority was its staff and the return of peace. Stellantis had already suspended all exports and imports of vehicles with Russia, following Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, moving production to western Europe. It had also said it was freezing plans for more investments in the country. Van production in Kaluga had remained just for the local market. Scores of foreign companies have announced temporary shutdowns of stores and factories in Russia or said they were leaving the country for good since Russia began what it calls "a special military operation" in Ukraine on Feb. 24. Stellantis Chief Executive Carlos Tavares in late March said the group would have to close the Kaluga plant shortly as it was running out of parts. Separately on Tuesday, General Motors Co said it was extending its suspension of business in Russia due to the conflict and international sanctions. The U.S. automaker, which initially suspended imports into Russia and commercial activity on Feb. 28, said it was laying off most of its 66 employees and providing them with separation packages. GM does not have plants in Russia and only sold about 3,000 vehicles annually there prior to the suspension.

The biggest gas-guzzlers of 2024: 'The Meanest List' is the opposite of greenest cars

Thu, Mar 14 2024

In some circles — especially some automotive circles — bigger is better. This explains the Hummer, for example. In its so-called “Meanest List” of a dozen models, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) makes no apologies for berating “the worst-performing mass market automobiles” sold in 2024 in the U.S. The most diminutive car on the list is a Chevy Corvette Z06. At the top of this particular heap is the Mercedes-Benz AMG G63, a gas-powered SUV that the environmental agency says was “the worst-performing vehicle of the more than 1,200 models assessed by Greener Cars and has an annual fuel cost over $4,000.” Not to mention its MSRP of around $184,000. Rank Make & Model Powertrain Green Score MSRP Estimated Annual Fuel Cost* 1 Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 Gas 20 $184,000 $4,242 2 Ram 1500 TRX 4x4 Gas 22 $98,335 $3,819 3 Ford F150 Raptor R Gas 24 $79,975 $3,777 4 Cadillac Escalade V Gas 26 $152,295 $3,388 5 Dodge Durango SRT Gas 26 $74,995 $3,332 6 Jeep Wrangler 4dr 4X4 Gas 27 $35,895 $3,260 7 Jeep Grand Wagoneer 4x4 Gas 28 $91,945 $3,058 8 Mercedes-Benz G550 Gas 28 $143,000 $3,186 9 GMC Hummer EV SUV EV 29 $98,845 $1,746 10 GMC Sierra Gas 29 $37,700 $3,069 11 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Gas 30 $114,395 $3,169 12 Mercedes-Benz Maybach S680 Gas 30 $234,300 $3,031 *ACEEE analysis using EIA data of the annual cost of driving 15,000 miles In terms of numbers, the dirty dozen of the meanest includes seven SUVs and three trucks. Lonely at the middle of the list is the sole electric, the GMC Hummer EV, which weighs in at 9,000 pounds. The council notes that “though EVs have lower emissions than similarly sized gasoline models, the Hummer demonstrates that size and efficiency, not just fuel source, are important factors in a carÂ’s environmental impact.” ItÂ’s also worth reminding prospective buyers that the average fuel cost of a vehicle on the “Greenest List” eats up only a fifth of the fuel cost of a vehicle on the Meanest List, “showing that greener options can also be more affordable.” The ACEEE also put out a "Greener List" of efficient gasoline and hybrid cars that don't require plugging in.  By the Numbers Green Cadillac Chevrolet Dodge Ford GMC Hummer Jeep Maybach Mercedes-Benz RAM Emissions Fuel Efficiency Green Automakers Truck SUV Electric Hybrid

Jeep sets all-time sales record in 2012

Wed, 09 Jan 2013

Last year was good to Jeep. Chrysler has announced its trail-rated brand set an all-time global sales record in 2012 by moving 701,626 units. That number easily surpasses the previous record set in 1999 when Jeep sold 675,494 models. All told, the brand saw a 19-percent sales increase worldwide over 2011, and much of that swell can be traced directly to the Wrangler. While the Grand Cherokee led Jeep sales, the Wrangler posted record numbers both globally and within the US, moving 194,142 and 141,669 units in each market, respectively.
Meanwhile, the Compass beat its previous global sales record with 103,321 units rolling off of dealer lots. In the US, Jeep sold 62,010 Patriot units, breaking that model's previous record as well. Jeep's impressive performance in 2012 marks the second year in a row the brand has seen double-digit percentage sales increases. Check out the full press release below.
