Beautiful cosmetic and mechanical restoration of a pristine, rust-free, unmodified and original, highway-driven (very limited off-road use), desert California (20 years) and desert Utah (10 years) based 1983 Jeep CJ7. Don't let the mileage intimidate you... since the restoration this beauty drives as new. The key to a great build is to start with a great foundation like this one. Complete, original and rust-free is way more important than miles. And It was done as a labor of love by a friend of mine who planned to keep it forever. Alas, plans change and he has asked me to sell it for him (I'm the eBay go-to guy in my neighborhood).

Below is a link that allows you to get details through the VIN number...

* Matching Armor-Coat on the floorboards and bed

* New windshield frame and window

* New nuts & bolts throughout (mostly stainless steel)

* New Bestop bikini top

* New mirrors

* Very cool stainless steel hood hinges and vent from Olympic Offroad

* Fresh undercoating on fender wells

* Original 15x7 Jeep spoke rims

* Custom LED tail lights

* Newer 258cid long-block

* Stainless steel air intake

* Five speed manual transmission with newer clutch

* Dana 300 transfer case

* Newer shocks (Ranch RS5000's in the rear)

* New shift boots

* Custom machined dash control knobs

* Original owners manual and maintenance schedule

I know I'm forgetting some additional goodies. Definitely look closely at my pics. And I also have pics of the building process... please ask me for them.

Mechanically, the running gear is excellent. Everything works like new and has been restored/upgraded where necessary. What's cool is that it has been kept all stock underneath. It's built to be a reliable, practical daily driver that will appreciate in value if you take care of it. I've driven many classic CJ's and I'm struck by what a tight, rattle-free, smooth, civilized driver this one is. Personally, I think it drives as good as or better than a new one did in 1983. Just my two cents.

Cosmetically, the owner took some liberties (seats, knobs, paint color, stainless steel, tail lights). But they are done to a very high standard and reversible if you choose. Personally, I'd leave them just the way they are and enjoy them. They certainly contribute to it being a safe, cool (as in awesome), practical and comfortable driver. And I think these tasteful upgrades make it even more unique.

My name is Chris and I am happy to answer your questions. Please call me at 435-669-1470. I also have tons of additional pics that show every nook and cranny. Send me an email address and I will get them out promptly. This beautiful CJ7 is located in the dry, desert community of St. George, Utah (about 100 miles north of Las Vegas). You may want to consider flying in and driving home. I would be happy to help facilitate that. Good luck and good bidding.

Why Mopar won't release a factory lift kit for the new Jeep Cherokee

Thu, 24 Apr 2014

The Jeep Cherokee Dakar concept showed off at the 2014 Easter Jeep Safari made a lot of online friends, even the Cherokee naysayers assenting that there's a monster Jeep underneath the Cherokee's skin if you're willing to go in and get it. But after reading Road & Track's write-up of what went into creating the Dakar, particularly its lift, you'll understand why you'll probably never see the components for it in the Jeep Performance Parts catalog.
The concept's press release mentions a "prototype Jeep Performance Parts lift kit, and additional suspension modifications." The short-story explanation is that the front struts on the standard Cherokee weren't engineered to accept any amount of lift, so the long story begins with the phrase, "an entirely new suspension." Head over to RT to read the details, and don't be afraid to ogle the Cherokee Dakar gallery and another awesome Jeep fancy that won't likely crawl over the hurdles imposed by production reality.
