1985 Jeep cj-7 Renegade

Chassis:  Taken down to the bare frame.  I have pictures.  Every nut and bolt was taken off.  The frame was sand blasted, then powder coated.  I then started the assembly.  I made a rolling chassis out of it.  Grade 8 bolts where used along with stainless steel. 

Engine: AMC 304 V8.  The motor was out of a 1979 cj7 with 77,000 miles on it.  I took the motor into a machinist and had the following done.  Both heads redone, New cam, block cleaned and decked.  New pistons and rings, seals, D.U.I. distributer, with live wires, Edelbrock intake, along with all the other things Edelbrock makes for the AMC's.  The motor was blue printed and balanced.  Then put on the dyno for tuning.  255 H.P. at 5500 RPM's.  305 lbs of torque.  I wanted a nice driving jeep.  About $5500.00 into the motor alone. 

Exhaust:  Stock manifolds, with custom bent dual exhaust.  Porter Mufflers where used.  It sounds mean.  Not super loud.  When you rev it up or get on it a little bit, you know there is a V8 under the hood. 

Transmission: Borg Warner T 5 tranny.  I had the tranny rebuilt and the gears and shafts cryogenics coated.  They say it should be 40% stronger.  Then the tranny was dynoed.  Works great.  I love the overdrive, on the freeways.  2000 rpm's at 60mph. 

Transfer Case:  Dana 300.  Was gone through and put double lip seals on the output shafts and yokes.  If ya know anything about Dana 300's they leak just a little bit.   This one doesn’t with the double lip seals.  Both drive shafts have new u-joints.  Those are grease able. 

Front Axle:  Dana 30 front axle.  New Moog upper and lower ball joints.  New axle u-joints. Yukon 4.10 gears with a Lock-Rite Locker.  New wheel bearings and seals.  Tie rods and rod ends.   Front axle is all gone through and tight.  No Cheep overseas parts.

Rear Axle:  AMC 20.  Yukon 1 piece axle shafts.  4.10 gears.  Auburn locking rear diff.  Rear bearings and seals replaced.  Brakes adjusted.  

Brakes:  New master cylinder, NOT a remanufactured one.  New Stainless steel hard lines, and flex lines.  New parking brake cables.  Brakes work great.  As they should, everything is new.

Fuel Tank:  20 gallon fuel tank, with new sending unit and pick up screen.  Sand blasted and painted skid plate. 

Suspension:  Pro Comp 2.5" lift springs.  Pro Comp shocks painted black.  Daystar towable front shackles.  Rear Daystar shackles.  Daystar main eye grease able bolts.  Greaseable shackle bolts.  All polyurethane bushings.  The jeep rides really good.  New poly sway bar bushing.  Quick disconnects.

Tires:  BF Goodrich All Terrains.  33x12.50R15. Perfect shape with 2000 miles on them.

Rims:  Factory 15x7 rims.  Powder coated Metallic silver.   Very nice and clean rims.  You can still see the stampings on the back of them.  Mcguard, life time lug nuts.  Good center caps.  I haven't seen perfect center caps yet.

Body:  The body is nice and clean. You can still see every factory spot weld.  Nothing covered up with body filler.  Painted, factory Dark Honey Metallic.  With PPG paint and clear coat.  Phoenix factory replacement graphics installed.  They look nice.  I wanted to keep the body as stock as possible.  Hard top repainted to match.  All new weather stripping.  Aftermarket bumper tire carrier.  I wanted something that doesn’t touch the body.  A 33" tire on a factory tire carrier is a little to heavy.  The body was flipped upside down, sideways, you name and painted.  Just as nice underneath as the top.  No spray on bed liner or paint can special here.  Super solid floors.  Take a look at the pictures, Original metal. 

Interior:  The dash is uncut original.  Factory clock that was rebuilt.  Factory V8 Tachometer, rebuilt.  Speedometer cluster rebuilt.  All items where repainted when rebuilt.  They look awesome.  Tilt steering column rebuilt.  All gauges work and all lights work.  Factory, original Honey seats.  In good shape.   Not perfect, but very nice and hard to find In Honey color.   Tuffy center console.  New Head unit in console.  New dash speakers, new rear speakers with sound pods.  Carpet kit is not original.  I looked for a perfect one.  I did not find one, so I installed an aftermarket one.  Color is not the greatest.  Heater has a new heater core.  Blower motor upgrade.  Works awesome.

Tops:  Hard top redone.  Pulled out the glass and professionally repainted.  Soft top.  I have all the hardware for a Bestop Soft top.  It was black.  So I sold just the canvas.  All it needs is new spice colored canvas.  I do have a bestop bikini top for it. 

This is a great jeep.  I wanted to keep it Close to stock looking, with some nicely done modifications and add-ons.  I have all receipts for the jeep.   Air Conditioning would be the only thing I would think about.  Otherwise it needs nothing. 

If you want to look at the jeep or talk more about it, email me through eBay.  I will give you my phone number.

New Barracuda, Grand Cherokee Trackhawk coming soon

Wed, Aug 26 2015

As we write this, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is conducting a major dealership event in sunny Las Vegas. New vehicles are being announced, redesigned offerings are being teased, and promises are being made to the sprawling company's dealer body. And, as all these announcements are meant to be tip-top secret, they're leaking out left, right, and center. Naturally. FCA is telling its dealers all of the vehicles shown at the Vegas gala will be in showrooms within 12 to 24 months, and that the product offensive will include at least 30 new or significantly refreshed models. Some of those we've known about since FCA boss Sergio Marchionne unveiled his highly ambitious five-year plan in May 2014, while we're hearing about others for the very first time. We've reached out to our sources within FCA, and will update this post as we learn more. It should be noted that while we've tried to rely on concrete sources or corroborations from multiple sources, some of the news here comes from people claiming to have been in attendance and posting in forums like Allpar and Jalopnik's Opposite Lock. Unless corroborated by a mainstream source or confirmed by our own sources within FCA, we're listing each item that comes from a forum. Have those grains of salt at the ready. Chrysler Dodge Durango-sized SUV with stow-and-go was shown. A poster on Allpar Forums claims it had a Durango's interior. New Aspen? Town and Country PHEV confirmed (again). A plug-in minivan was originally announced as part of five-year plan. No news on 200 or 300. Dodge The redesigned Charger will use the Alfa Romeo Giulia's rear-drive platform and, according Automotive News, draw inspiration from 1999's Charger concept car. We're wagering the 24-month time frame specified to dealers will move the new sedan's arrival up from 2018 to mid-2017. Jalopnik's Opposite Lock claims two new Challenger models are coming. Challenger ADR (American Drag Racer) and T/A. ADR should appeal to bracket racers and is more powerful than the SRT Hellcat, while T/A is for track rats, just like Viper T/A. Automotive News claims the legendary Barracuda nameplate will be revived as a Dodge. The Barracuda will be smaller than Challenger, offered as both a coupe and a convertible. Allpar claims it will feature modern styling. A Dodge Durango SRT was announced with 6.4-liter Hemi V8 and rear-drive. Sources within FCA confirmed its arrival with Autoblog. Apparently, dealers were shown an example in B5 Blue.

1914 Ford Model T at Historic Greenfield Village | AutoblogVR

Tue, Sep 6 2016

We drive all of the newest and most sophisticated cars, but a 102-year-old Ford is one of our recent favorites. Senior Editor Alex Kierstein headed to historic Greenfield Village in Dearborn, MI, to learn to drive a Model T in the latest AutoblogVR segment. Kierstein picks up the Model T fairly quickly, despite its controls. Though they were designed more than a century ago to be simple and easy to use, driving a Model T is complicated and counter-intuitive to the modern motorist. But by the end of his lesson, Kierstein has it all figured out and is enjoying himself. In our other new segment, Detroit Manufacturing, Senior Editor Greg Migliore showcases the city''s industrial might. He tours a modern Fiat Chrysler factory that churns out Dodge Durangos and Jeep Grand Cherokees and then wanders the ruins of the mythical Packard Plant. There's also some tasty and unexpected twists in this VR episode. Each week, new episodes will launch on the AutoblogVR App. We'll preview them here on Autoblog, but for the full immersive experience, head over to the app, which you can download for free from the App store and Google Play.
