Extra nice 1983 Jeep CJ7 that has lived its entire life out here in Arizon, even has its original paint except for 2 spots (tailgate and engine compartment firewall, one need sprucing up and the other rubbed bare) .    
I have run into issues with my health and need to part with my wonderful CJ7. 
Looking at the Carfax information provided by Ebay, it shows a mileage/odometer issue many years ago which was the miles exceeding the odometer limit.  Also, this past year emissions failed and I took the old Carter carb off and installed a clean running Motorcraft 2150..

The List:

-258 six cylinder taken out and completely cleaned and painted with hi temp paint

- New oil pump

-New fuel pump

-Aluminum rocker arm cover

-Autometer tachometer (high quality with large lower range)

-AM-FM with cassette and 2 Pioneer speakers

-Motorcraft 2150 carb

-Automatic trans TF999 taken out, cleaned, painted

-Dana 300 transfer case taken out , cleaned, painted

-Twin Stick shifting setup for transfer case

-Dana 30 front axle with all new axle shaft seals, bearings, ball joints, universal joints, front calipers, brakes

-Rear Dana 44 with 1 piece axle shafts out of a 1986 CJ7 that replaces the old AMC 20, new brakes, drums cleaned and painted

-New rear Tattons  double cardan rear drive shaft

-All new springs… Old Man Emu 2” lift yj springs with new shackle mounts and new HD shackles by Jim Crabtree (none of that extended shackle junk)

-4 brand new Old Man Emu shock absorbers

-All new exhaust

-All new body mounts to replace the old CJ ones that were getting flat

-20 gallon gas tank, cleaned, painted, new fuel lines, sender, etc..\

-Front and rear custom bumpers

-HD hummer steering gear (same thing as the old CJ one but with a bigger piston)

-New tie rod ends along with a Big Daddy tie rod that has been flipped to the top side of the knuckles for better clearance

-HD steering gear mount (not the flimsy stock CJ one)

-Tilt automatic steering

-Brass Mile Marker lock out hubs

-5 brand new Goodyear Wrangler M/T with Kevlar tires 32x 11.50 on new Mickey Thompson black aluminum rims and new lug nuts

-Brand new Sears Diehard Platinum battery (these are the best out there as they are made by Odessy)

-DUI electronic ignition with DUI live wires

-New motor mounts

-New sway bar bushings

-Sway bar disconnects

-Entire interior floor area and some side areas have been scuffed and a tinted epoxy liner put on.  Makes it quieter and much more durable.  Copper colored.

-YJ family roll bare from a 1994 wrangler with an OR Fab front sport cage is installed.  This give the rear more coverage by the brand new Bestop Safari top that extends further over the back

-Original nutmeg front seats in great shape with a black seat cover over them, rear seat is also nutmeg with no seat cover

-Aluminum rack that spans the rear wheel wells giving a top and lower storage function to the back area

-OEM spare tire carrier (not installed at the moment)

-1/2 rubber pad that is cut and fits in the back to prevent damage when putting things in

-Most of the original carpeting, formed to fit rubber mats in the front

-2 front seat tilt forward AND slide forward

-All new Spicer Ujoints on the entire Jeep

-All new extended brakes lines both front and back

 

EXTRAS:

A 1986 258 block and head with the 1/2 head bolt holes in the block.  Perfect for putting a 4.0 head on that uses the 1/2 bolts.   Block is in great shape as is the head…I planned on having it rebuilt and adding a performance cam, etc. to it….

Extra front drive shaft

2 extra starters

Original CJ7 roll bar

Boxes and boxes of misc. extra parts

 

She runs straight down the road and is a delight to look at.  Motor runs great, NO leaks at all from the entire drive train.  There is a tap-tap sound, might be wrist pin but it has been that way  for 30,000 miles. Right now it has 156,000 miles on it.  IF you do not want the OrFab roll bar setup and safari top, I do have the original roll bar and will drop the overall price by $550 if you want that original one installed instead and I keep the OrFab one for a friend of mine.

These original, rust free CJ7's are getting harder and harder to find due to accidents, rust, parting out, etc..  Get a great one while you can!

Consumer Reports digs Mazda3, disses Jeep Cherokee

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has just rendered its verdict on two of the more important cars to launch this year - the Mazda3 and the Jeep Cherokee. Considering the value a "Recommended" rating carries with the public and the viciously competitive markets these two cars compete in, Consumer Reports' view could have some impact on their initial success.
For Mazda, that's a good thing. CR spoke quite highly of the Zoom-Zoom brand's compact sedan and hatch, testing both models, and citing the excellent fuel economy and snickety-snack manual shifter as high points. Downsides to the 3 included a ride that is agile but "nervous," a bit too much noise and a cramped back seat. Still, the 3 was good enough to earn its place in the ranks of the "Recommended."
The Jeep didn't fare quite so well, with CR calling the polarizing CUV "half-baked." Although both engines were tested, the magazine called the 2.4-liter four-pot underpowered and its nine-speed automatic unrefined and unresponsive. That's particularly damning, considering the 9AT's role in future Chrysler products, including the extremely important 200. Overall, the Cherokee missed out on the coveted "Recommended" rating.
