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!

Mazda2 nets Japan Car of the Year, Cherokee first US model to ever crack top 10

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

The 2015 Mazda2 is quite high up on our must-drive list. Yes, the teeny, tiny successor to the 100-horsepower five-door is worth getting excited over, largely because the previous generation was one of the absolute best smiles-per-dollar values on the market.
While we eagerly await for our opportunity to take to the 2's helm, our expectations of the new car have just been heightened thanks to its win in Japan's Car of the Year competition. Called "Demio" in the land of the rising sun, Japanese journalists handed out Mazda's second COTY award since the CX-5 took the title in 2012.
In more surprising news, the new Jeep Cherokee has made the list of 10 Best Cars in Japan. The Jeep's triumph marks the first time an American car has cracked the top ten, finishing eighth. It's not, however, the first Fiat Chrysler vehicle to snag the title, following in the footsteps of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta and Fiat Panda. Still, the fact that an American brand can make such impressive inroads into the traditionally tough-to-crack Japanese market is a seriously big deal.

Chinese Jeep production confirmed with Fiat, Guangzhou agreement

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

Fiat has just finalized a deal originally set up in January between it and China's Guangzhou Automotive Group to bring Jeep production to China. It remains unclear which models will be built, although we're wagering that it'll be the 2014 Cherokee. What we do know, now, is where production will take place.
According to Automotive News, Guangzhou originally wanted production to take place in its home assembly plant in its namesake city. Fiat has battled to send production to a joint venture facility established between Guangzhou and Fiat in the town of Changsha. The joint facility won out, and now the factory, originally built in 2010 with a 140,000-unit capacity, will see Jeeps rolling out of it.
Currently, the GAC-Fiat factory produces the Fiat Viaggio, a jointly developed product that is closely related to America's Dodge Dart. And while it remains unclear as to which model will join the Viaggio on the assembly line, that model is understood to ride on Fiat's Compact platform. The only Jeep to share those underpinnings is the new Cherokee, so there's not much connecting of dots needed to see why this scenario would make sense.

2013 AEV Brute Double Cab

Fri, 11 Jan 2013

These are the guys who bring an M777 howitzer to a knife fight. In terms of overall rugged utility, the all-new 2013 Brute Double Cab from American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) is about as overkill as they come, and we can't seem to get enough of the beasts that this company produces. Unlike most aftermarket firms, always striving to lower cost and increase volume (but at the expense of quality), Michigan-based AEV takes pride in its OEM-quality design, engineering, manufacturing and testing. Everything is as good, or better, than the stuff from the factory, and they have been doing it this way for more than 15 years.
Launched at the recent 2012 SEMA show was the 2013 AEV Brute Double Cab. Its debut marked the company's expansion to a four-door Brute on the newer JK platform (drawing inspiration from the Land Rover Defender 130). I recently spent a few hours with the new truck in sunny Southern California, though unfortunately, due to time constraints, I was limited to pavement-only driving impressions.
