Selling My 84 Jeep CJ7, I really planned on keeping it and building as I went, but career change, time, etc, best choice is to let her go.

It has a 4wd hardware fiberglass tub, and a original rust free metal fenders, hood, grille, and windshield frame. It is camo wrapped with an expensive kit in Advantage Max 4HD.  There is some wrinkles in it but it still looks great and always draws attention wherever it's goes. Tub is white gel coat underneath, and hood fenders are original black paint.  Frame is very solid and has almost no rust. There was two small spots in the back that were thin, and I welded a 2"x2"  square patch over it to keep it from getting bad. ( see pics) The only other issue I had with the frame is a bunch of holes drilled toward the front, could have been from an old plow frame? I planned to just bolt or weld a plate over it, but that will be up to the buyer!

The entire drivetrain was removed from a 1976 CJ5 with only 89k original miles. 
It is an AMC 304, freshly painted, newly rebuilt carb ( receipt from mechanic), brand new Summit fenderwell headers, purple hornies side pipes. Runs Great, runs about 80 psi oil cold, and 8-10 psi on the hottest day. Never overheats. Trans is T150 3 speed, shifts great, sometimes will pop out of first gear, but I think the floor needs trimming, not necessarily an issue w/ Trans. Dana 20 Tcase. AMC 20 rear/dana 30 front 3.54 gears. It really isn't geared for crawling, but will cruise right along with traffic on the highway no problem.

Drives straight and true, had many new front end parts installed over the last few years.
Rancho shocks at all 4 corners.
All stock suspension components.
3" Body lift with metal plate to stiffen body mounts on tub.

33x12.50 Dayton timberline ATs with only about 700 miles on them.
15x10 wheels just sandblasted and powder coated black.

Has HD rear bumper, with swing out tire carrier, receiver hitch, and mounts for DRing shackles.
Full Roll Cage
Tuffy Security Console with Sony Explod CD player
Original AM radio still in uncut dash!
Marine 6x9 speakers in custom boxes that mount between cage and rear fenderwell.
HD front bumper with push bar.
New Radiator
Bestop trail max seats.
Fold and tumble back seat from a YJ.
Probably lots I'm forgetting.

Known Issues or Things to tell:

Currently running on Antique Plates. Should easily pass a PA safety inspection if you choose to go back to regular registration.
Emissions w/ headers/ side pipes will be the issue, which is why I have antique plates.
Plates will go w/ the Jeep.

Minor drips here and there, but nothing major.

All gauges work except fuel gauge.

YJ Column, and dash wiring. Headlight switch mounted where factory clock was.

YJ heater box and blower switch.. Heat works but you have to manually move levers on box, CJ to YJ cable ends are different, I'm sure something can be done to make them work. Heater core left a few drips of antifreeze on floor the other day, so figure on having to replace it. It hasn't leaked lately, but something was going on??

Rear bumper needs supports welded back to frame if you want to tow with it. The rear crossmember is thin from the factory and that's all it's bolted to right now, so it's a little wobbly  Roll cage needs tied in to frame in the front.

Fenders are mounted about an 1" to low on tub, so you may want to re drill holes and move them up to make it look spot on, it never bothered me though.

304 has a manual choke installed, so it's a bit cold blooded.

Brake master cylinder will need replaced. It's dripping out of the back seal, not real bad, and ive been driving it like it is, but will need it soon.
(Manual brakes)

Everything works, and battery is new, and if it sits for a month it will still start right up, but wiring is a little messy, if you want it perfect

I have a factory original Kayline soft top with doors for it. It's in great shape, with just about a 1" crack on drivers window, from kids leaning something on it in garage. I have never had it on the jeep, and it looks like its never been used! I'm fairly sure all hardware bows, etc are there.

Whatever extra parts I can find for it.

Best top bikini top. ( black)

** I also have a new in box Howell fuel injection system, that was over $1200 new, and a complete painless wire harness brand new. I am not including them as of now, but if the auction goes high enough, I will, or ill offer the buyer a great deal on them.

** Also have a T176 4 Speed, and a Dana 300 with under 100k miles,  that I was going to install. Again not included right now, but will include them if auction goes high enough, or will make a great deal to buyer if wanted.

** If anyone wonders**  If Jeep Hits $4500 or better,  I will include the Howell fuel injection, and the T176/Dana 300. 

It's not a show jeep by any means, but it's a great driver, needing only some minor issues worked out. It can be a great trail jeep or a hunting rig too.

I've tried to list everything I know about it, and will answer any questions to the best of my ability.

I have receipts for many of the parts/work, not all but quite a few. 

I will work with a shipper, but arrangements are up to buyer.

I can put it on my trailer and deliver it, within reason, but price/ arrangements must be made in advance.

You can probably drive it home too, but I haven't had it on more than a 200 mile trip.

It's listed as 1980, because for some reason eBay will not accept my vin#

The jeep is a wide track 1984, titled as 1984, and the vin# is

If you need it

No reserve!

Daily Driver: 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited X Edition

Thu, Apr 9 2015

Daily Driver videos are micro-reviews of vehicles in the Autoblog press fleet, reviewed by the staffers that drive them every day. Today's Daily Driver features the 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited X Edition, reviewed by Adam Morath. You can watch the video above or read a transcript below. Watch more Autoblog videos at /videos. VIDEO TRANSCRIPT Hi, I'm Adam Morath for Autoblog. Now, undoubtedly, one of the coolest things about this job is that you're in and out of so many different vehicles, but, I'll be honest, there are times where, if you're in very similar vehicles, they can start to run together a little bit. That's why I love getting into a car like this that just snaps you right out of it because it's so unique and so different from anything else on the market. Of course I'm talking about the Jeep Wrangler. I'm in a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. This is the X Edition, which stands for X Games. Jeep is a big title sponsor of the 2015 Aspen X Games and you can see that all over this vehicle. You have white, glossy accent plastic in the interior; mountain graphics throughout the interior and exterior of the vehicle – a nod, obviously, to the winter sports and skiing that you would do out in Aspen. And then in keeping with that mountainous theme, you have an Alpine nine-stereo speaker system. I'll be honest, though, that some of it feels a little overdone to me. For instance, there's a power-bulge in the hood. Credit to Jeep: the vents are actually functional, but this is not the trim I would go for, just personally. It's one of those vehicles that people are always wondering, "I really like the look of it [and] I like the capability, but could I live with a Wrangler?" It's the same sort of question you'll get from people who are looking at a sports car, "could I actually live with this is my daily driver?" And I have to say, Jeep has come a long way – Wrangler, in particular, has come a long way – in terms of driving comfort. Of course, don't expect "Lexus quiet." You can probably hear it's a big noisy in the cabin. It's a bit of a bumpy ride. There are things about this vehicle that I could see being annoying in your day-to-day life. For instance, the door: it's essentially an external hinge on the door, but it doesn't stay open for you. So, if you're on any sort of a tilt, the door will come back in and you have to just prop it open with your leg. Little things like that.

Jeep Begins Fixing 1.56 Million Recalled Grand Cherokee, Liberty SUVs

Tue, Jan 14 2014

Chrysler is just now beginning the big job of fixing 1.56 million older Jeep SUVs seven months after a recall was announced, according to The Detroit News. Jeep Grand Cherokees sold between 1992 and 1998 and Jeep Liberty models sold between 2002 and 2007 are being recalled because the gas tank can leak in the event of a rear-end collision, leading to a fire. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration originally requested the recall of 2.7 million vehicles. Chrysler initially disputed NHTSA's findings and seemed willing to go through a court battle until an 11th-hour deal reduced the number of vehicles involved in the recall. The remaining vehicle owners left out of the recall will receive a "customer service action" notification and may not get fixed. Chrysler says the vehicles are safe and need no repairs. Fixing the 1.56 million Jeeps will cost Chrysler $151 million. NHTSA cited 51 deaths causes by such tank fires. Chrysler plans to install protective trailer hitches to protect the gas tanks, but even the automaker admits the hitches will only provide incremental protection in a low-to-moderate speed rear-end crash.

7 months later, Jeep 'trailer hitch' recall still stalled

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

For the past few years, Chrysler and its CEO, Sergio Marchionne, have gone head-to-head with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and its boss, David Strickland, over the government safety agency's request for Chrysler to recall almost three-million Jeep vehicles due to what NHTSA says is a safety issue that has caused at least 51 deaths. After a three-year investigation and Chrysler's initial refusal to issue a recall because it deemed the vehicles safe and built to the day's federal requirements, last summer, the two parties compromised on a "voluntary campaign" to inspect 1.56 million vehicles, those being the 1992 to 1998 Grand Cherokee and 2002 to 2007 Liberty.
Those vehicles were designed with their gas tanks between the rear axle and the bumper, and NHTSA says that in rear-end collisions, damage to the fuel tank has caused fires responsible for those 51 deaths. The compromise reached last summer was that Chrysler would inspect 1.56 million vehicles and, "if necessary, provide an upgrade to the rear structure of the vehicle." Practically speaking, that meant Chrysler would replace aftermarket trailer hitches, but would take no action if a vehicle had a factory-installed hitch or an aftermarket hitch from Mopar.
A report in The Detroit News says the "voluntary campaign" is just now getting under way, with Chrysler saying last week that the design of the replacement part had been finalized and it was tooling up "to deliver the required volume." Seven months later, still in question is whether NHTSA will crash-test the fix engineered by Chrysler, noteworthy because not only did the vehicles in question pass every safety standard necessary to be cleared for sale at the time, there are still questions (to those of us on the outside) as to how the Jeeps at issue fare among their peers in such incidents. Either way, Chrysler and NHTSA apparently still disagree on the efficacy of the remedy itself: the carmaker says it might help in low-speed crashes but not high-speed collisions, a position the NHTSA is at odds with. All of this means the campaign doesn't yet have an end in sight.
