1984 Jeep CJ-7 Laredo- Black paint is all original with silver trim and decals.  This Jeep has been garaged while in my possession and had spent most of its life in Nevada.  The body is very solid without any surface rust and the it appears the undercarriage has been sprayed with a protectant as well. Engine is 4.2L 258 6 Cylinder engine runs and starts great, 5 speed manual transmission with Billet/Plus Competition Shifter and dual lever shifter kit for the Dana 300 transfer case, the 4x4 works great.  A Centerforce performance clutch was added.  It drives well with Cooper 31"x10.5x15 off road tires on custom rims (it has a rear mounted spare but its old).  Tread life on the 4 main tires is very good.  When I purchased the Jeep, I was told the motor was rebuilt and had around 27,000 miles.  I added a couple more thousand this past summer.  Under the hood the engine is very clean and has a D.U.I. distributor.  The exhaust is custom with tubed steel with a 2.5" chrome tip welded offering a nice rumble.  Chromed features include the front bumper, grill, hood latches and hinges, hood vent, side tube step and door handles.  On the rear bumper, a heavy gauge Rock Receiver with 2" receiver was added.  The front bumper features a 8,000lb winch.  The interior condition is pretty nice.  The windshield is free of cracks and rock chips.  The dash is in very good condition and all the gauges work (except for the clock).  When I bought the Jeep, it had a lousy Panasonic radio and blown dash speakers which I upgraded to a JVC KD-R530 (works with CDs, aux cable, usb cable) and Polk marine speakers and marine speaker wire.  I also ran speaker wires to the rear so a removable speaker box could be played (not included-I use it mainly in a little boat).  I also added a decorative diamond plate cover over the transfer case.  Driver and passenger seats are in great condition and are a comfortable, thick cushion.  Both seats have levers to slide the seats forward and flip forward allowing access to the rear seat.  The rear seat appears to be original and has a spot where the stitching is pulling apart.  The rear seat does not fold and tumble forward.  The carpeting is simple thin black for easy clean-up or drying.  The top-padded center counsel is a Tuffy steel security box where the main radio is stored and offers additional lockable storage and 2 cup-holders on the rear of it.  The hardtop is fiberglass with what appears to be amateur tint added to it, but also comes with a BesTop Supertop with tinted professional zip-out windows, bikini top and soft doors with plastic windows.  The hard steel doors don't appear to be original since the black paint seems to be off a shade.  I only drove it on clear days...no rain...no snow/salt.  The Jeep gets a lot of compliments and many thumbs-up.  Of course, with an old vehicle there are some flaws...she drips a little and the paint is original with minor hood dings and what I was told was paint fade from a tarp (see picture).  The front bumper has a scratch on it and the horn doesn't work (not sure why).  None of these flaws bothered me since the thing is so darn cool to drive.  I was even gifted a replacement windshield frame (only appears to be dusty), extra visors, rear fender flares and repair manuals which I will pass on to the winning bidder.  Good luck on the bids!

NHTSA still mulling crash tests for recalled Jeeps

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

Well, no one should ever accuse the government of not giving things plenty of thought. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is still debating whether it will retest any of the 1.56 million 1992 to 1998 Grand Cherokees and 2002 to 2007 Libertys that were part of a recall regarding fires after rear-end collisions. And yes, this debate has been going on for over a month. In other news...
The recall dustup started in early June, when Chrysler took the unusual position of refusing a recall request from NHTSA regarding placement of the fuel tank on the effected vehicles. NHTSA said a collision could cause a fire, a position Chrysler took issue with. Extensive negotiations ensued, with Chrysler agreeing to fit certain Jeeps with trailer hitches, which it said would provide some protection to fuel tanks mounted behind the rear axle in the event of a collision.
Part of the issue rests with the amount of data that needs to be processed, according to The Detroit News. NHTSA administrator David Strickland said during a Washington Auto Press Association meeting, "There's a lot of data and Chrysler is being very cooperative in giving us more data." Until that information has been sorted, it looks like re-testing will still be up for debate.

Georgia judge slashes verdict to $40M in Jeep fire case

Wed, Jul 29 2015

A judge in Georgia has drastically reduced the damages that Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will have to pay to the family of Remington Walden, who a court said died as a result of the unsafe design of one of its vehicles. While the jury originally awarded the family $150 million at FCA's expense, Judge J. Kevin Chason cut that amount to $40 million, the Detroit News reported. The automaker may still appeal the verdict. The case dates to March 2012, when a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee in which four-year-old Walden was riding was rear-ended by another vehicle. Due to what the jury ruled was an unsafe fuel tank, a fire erupted, and Walden died in the fire. The family's lawyers successfully argued that the automaker knew there was a problem and didn't take sufficient action to address the issue, while FCA countered that its vehicles met the applicable safety standards when they were built. The jury found FCA 99 percent responsible for the fire and Walden's death, reserving the final one percent for the driver who caused the crash. The court awarded the Waldens $150 million in damages to be paid by the automaker: $120 million for wrongful death, and a further $30 million for pain and suffering. FCA, however, argued that the damages were disproportionate to the incident, noting that the $120 million was 11 times higher and the $30 million four times higher than any comparable awards upheld on appeal in the state. Chason agreed and cut the penalties extensively. The Walden family has reportedly accepted the reduced verdict. But according to the News, company spokesman Michael Palese said, "The reduction in the damage awards does not cure the many errors that tainted this verdict and denied FCA US a fair trial. We are considering our legal options." News Source: The Detroit NewsImage Credit: Jeep Government/Legal Recalls Jeep lawsuit court
