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!

FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne recently received the 2015 Industry Leadership Award from the SAE Foundation. While speaking with the press after the event, the boss discussed his thoughts about some key issues regarding the company's future. One of the big regulatory issues facing FCA at the moment is the upcoming public hearing by the National Highway Traffic Safety into the automaker's handling of 20 recalls. Marchionne has no intention of testifying there, according to The Detroit News. The CEO also thinks that the government regulator is becoming much more aggressive in how it handles safety campaigns, but the Feds aren't necessarily doing a very good job of communicating that. "We need to work with the agency in a very cooperative and open way to make sure that we can meet their requirements for their new stance," he said, according to the newspaper. "We have no option but to comply with their requirements and we will. I have nothing to hide in this process. I just want clear rules." Marchionne also dropped the news that the company has changed its mind about making the next Jeep Wrangler totally from aluminum. "Because of the difference in cost, not just the new material but the actual assembly process, I think we can do almost as well without doing it all-aluminum," he said to The Detroit News. This seemingly opens the door for the model to remain in production in Toledo, OH, but only just a crack. Marchionne says that the new Wrangler would still use a large amount of aluminum, and there are "at least" two sites in contention for the assembly. The company doesn't have too long to make a decision because the model reportedly launches in 2017.

Is It An Off-Road Adventure Or Just A Walk In The Park?
I remember having to get out and lock hubs and shift into neutral to engage low range.
Coming off press previews of the 2013 Land Rover Range Rover and the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee that involved some heavy-duty off-road rock climbing, I'm simply amazed at the capabilities that these vehicles possess. But even more impressive (or troubling depending on your perspective) is the relative ease with which you can operate these vehicles in seemingly impossible terrain.

Jeep showcased some pretty awesome concepts at its Easter Safari in Moab a few days ago, but few if any of them were quite as extreme as what's rolled in to Jay Leno's Garage for this latest video installment. It's called the Legend, and it was made by aftermarket bumper manufacturer Fab Fours to demonstrate its capabilities. It's obviously based on the Jeep Wrangler, but it's riding high on 50-inch tires with a jacked-up monster truck suspension, giant fenders, a chopped-down red-tinted greenhouse and something its creators call a "grumper" that integrates the bumper into the grille. Or vice versa. Though most of the oily bits have carried over from the production model, it's hardly what you'd call "practical," but it's sure to turn a lot of heads... even one as massive as Jay's.
