This is a rust and rot-free CJ7 that came from Arizona and has a clear Arizona Title. I bought it knowing that I was going to bring it back to original however I am sidetracked by a '78 Golden Eagle project. This jeep is rock solid and drives great. The engine has been replaced with a newer 4.2 liter fuel injected engine (not the 4.0 liter). The jeep starts on the first turn of the key each and every time and absolutely NO idling issues. It drives great down the highway at 70 mph and doesn't wander or wobble at all. The 4-speed transmission and clutch shift perfectly and the jeep stops on a dime. The brakes as well as the exhaust have been replaced recently and it does appear to be legal for anyone interested in emission restricted states. The catalytic converter are in place and it does have the original components for smog control under the hood. Keep in mind that Michigan does not have mandatory testing so I can't say for certain that it will pass emissions, but as I stated, all of the components appear to be intact and the jeep does not seem to run rich or lean. 4x4 works fine but I've not had it out in the sand dunes or mudding - I simply don't use my jeeps that way. The jeep does not have power steering, however I do have the gearbox as well as the pump if you'd like to convert it. Those items can be negotiated in the selling price however are not included in the auction.
The exterior is in great shape. I had it painted recently however I instructed the shop to not use any filler. You can still see the factory rivet marks and the natural "waves" that the jeep had when it was born. There were just too many stone pops/chips for me to put a new decal package over it so I had it painted. The paint is not show quality, however it looks great. I tend to be a little picky on my jeeps so I may be more critical than others. The doors were painted as well as and have all new seals. The soft-top is almost new and I actually hate to get rid of it as I was planning on saving it for my next project. Same story with the wheels. I had painted a set of wagon wheels and found some trim rings and center caps but the chrome ones look too good to take off.
The interior is in great condition as well. There are a few things a purist would notice but doesn't affect the jeep. The dash is cut for the stereo, the steering column is out of a YJ (one of the plastic rings is cracked), there is a toggle switch on the dash for the fuel pump (I haven't taken the time to wire the electric fuel pump to the ignition - it was this way when I got it), I recovered the seats with aftermarket, leather skins (although they look really good), the rear seat is aftermarket, the center console is missing the lock, and the carpet I installed is out of a YJ so some of the holes are a little larger around the seat belt openings. Other than that, the jeep shows extremely well. The previous owner also painted in the bedliner material on the inside, which I didn't know before I purchased it site-unseen. For that reason, I did take a bunch of pictures of the underside so you can see that the pans are not rusted out in the least bit.
The rockers are solid. As you can see from the underside, the rocker mouldings have no rust on the attachment lip. There is no rust near the rear frame or tailgate welds either. This jeep is Solid! Because I have a bunch of parts and wouldn't mind keeping some of the parts off the jeep, I'm willing to negotiate a few items if you'd like to get the reserve lowered:
Top: Have a white-hard top as well as an original white whitco - snap top with all of the doors and hardware. I'd be willing to drop for the hardtop swap or a few more bucks for the original
Wheels: I have a set of four painted, black wagon wheels with chrome trim rings and center caps that would like nice as well.
Center Console: If you are planning on replacing this one - I'll take it out and drop a few bucks
Power Steering: I can include the p/s pump as well as the gearbox for a few bucks (you install it)
Lastly, the odometer wasn't working so it was swapped out with one that was. The gauges, including the gas gauge, do work now - however I don't know the true mileage of the jeep. Being from Arizona, I do have the emissions test, which it passed easily in 2012. I have made no modifications to the engine other than a tune up (plugs, wires, oil, etc) so there should be no changes. Being a used vehicle though, I cannot guarantee that it will pass. All I can tell you is that it does not run rich or lean, has no cold issues like the carter BBD carbs had, no rod noises or engine knocks - so I can't imagine there would be an emission problem if you live in a state that requires it.
I don't have any problem shipping however I'm in need of space so it would have to be within a reasonable timeframe. I've sold jeeps and mustangs to Australia, South Africa, New Zeeland, Norway, and Canada - to name a few. If you have any questions or want more pictures, please don't hesitate to ask however I do request that you respect my time and refrain from tire-kicking. Thanks for looking and GodBless!

According to a report on the Chrysler Communications Facebook page and one fairly grainy image of the production line, at around 11:00AM Eastern this morning, the one-millionth Jeep Wrangler JK will roll out of the company's Toledo assembly plant.
The third-generation or "JK" Jeep Wrangler has been around since the 2007 model year, and has obviously been more popular than ever. With a greater than ever number of trim levels, two-door and four-door Unlimited models and hardy off-roading Rubicon packages, the JK offers more to choose from than ever for those looking for something in a traditional Jeep. In fact, with the modern 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 powering it, the 2012 model year saw more than 140k Wrangers sold here in the US; the best-ever figure for the model.
With a model refresh due out for the Wrangler in 2015 (along with the likely addition of a diesel engine option), we expect that sales will continue to roll right along, too.

The Cherokee Is Dead. Long Live The Cherokee.
There are three sentences that, for this reviewer, define what needs to be conveyed about the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. The first: it is very good.
Jeep spent 27 years building the Cherokee and its brand, from 1974 to 2001. Twelve years ago, the Cherokee nameplate rolled away into the distant hills and retirement, at least here in the NAFTA colonies, and it was replaced by a loaded word we knew as "Liberty."

Last summer, FCA outlined an ambitious five-year plan that sketched out the company's product intentions for each of its brands through the end of 2018. However, even the best strategies sometimes need tweaking. According to Reuters after speaking with unnamed people at auto suppliers, FCA is now possibly delaying at least a dozen projects in North America for a variety of reasons. From vehicle to vehicle, these postponements allegedly last anywhere from just a few months to over a year. The sources from the suppliers claim that in some cases these tweaks are for engineering and design changes. The next-gen Ram 1500 reportedly has among the shorter delays and is being pushed from mid-2017 to November 2017, according to Reuters. Also, the much-discussed future Jeep Wrangler is allegedly moving a little later to July 2017. Among the vehicles purportedly seeing longer delays, the next-gen Grand Cherokee could get pushed back about a year to 2018. That then forces the launch of the three-row, luxury Grand Wagoneer to be even further away. Jeep's upcoming C-segment CUV and the all-new Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Challenger might also see postponements. The one brand allegedly seeing an accelerated plan is Alfa Romeo. Without going into detail, the sources from these suppliers claim that the Italian automaker is getting even more vehicles for its lineup and could get them even faster than planned. "Those plans need to be flexible and fluid, with the potential to add some vehicles, pull some forward and extend the life cycle of others," FCA said to Reuters about all of these allegations. "We look at these programs on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis." Investment in the auto industry has been a major topic for FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne as of late. He believes consolidation is necessary so that companies aren't burning money on the same projects.
