1985 Jeep Cj7, Frame Off Restoration, Amc 360, Dana 44, T-176, Very Nice Jeep! on 2040-cars
Burton, Ohio, United States
I recently finished a frame off restoration on an 85 CJ7. This Jeep is immaculate. I have listed the details below. I have been involved in Jeeps for 20 years and I have to say, this is one of the nicest Ive seen. If times were different, I would keep it for myself. Im not trying to sell when I say I truly impressed myself with this build. On the highway and around town, this Jeep is an absolute blast to drive. Here are some specs:
The interior is black denim and all brand new Bestop seats - front reclining, rear fold and tumble Both axles have been rebuilt with all new seals, gears, and bearings Dana 44 in the rear New brakes all around New stainless brake lines New fuel lines New wire harness (painless) All new Stainless Steel trim New tilt steering column All new guages New paint New bestop supertop with two piece soft doors and tinted windows 33x12.5 mickey thompson MTZ tires (5 of them) 15x10 mickey thompson classic II wheels Rear tire swing out carrier Rebuilt AMC 360 bored .30 over mild cam from Edelbrock Edelbrock intake New Holley 4 barrel carb HEI ignition New clutch t-176 4 speed Transmission All new u-joints Power brakes Power steering In-frame headers Custom dual exhaust with hooker mufflers exits the rear Fiberglass body/fenders/windshield frame Steel hood/grill frame sandblasted and coated with POR 15 rust protection New 4wd Hardware 4 lift New tuffy security console with stereo New windsheild I started with a bare frame and built the Jeep from there. Every nut and bolt has been replaced with new. The frame is spotless. Im not sure what else I can say about it at this time. If you want more pictures of anything, let me know. I have shipped Jeeps before and am willing to negotiate sale price with that cost in mind. I also dont mind helping with the logistics of that process. If you are fairly close, I would also consider delivering it.

Jeep team takes a field trip to Wagonmaster; researching next Grand Wagoneer?
Fri, 01 Feb 2013
They have the very best intentions of rolling out a seven-passenger vehicle.
Wagonmaster has made a name for itself restoring and selling factory-perfect Jeep Grand Wagoneer models, bridging the gap between when the last production machine rolled off the line in 1991 and present day. The company's efforts haven't gone unnoticed. The entire Jeep product planning team took a little field trip to the company's facility in Kerrville, Texas back in December, and they weren't just there to take in the sights. According to owner Leon Miller's son, Chip Miller, the Jeep team was there to do research for the successor to the Grand Wagoneer throne.
Chrysler Recalls 350K Vehicles To Fix Ignition Switches
Thu, Sep 25 2014Chrysler is recalling nearly 350,000 cars and SUVs to fix ignition switches that could unexpectedly shut off the engines. The recall covers 2008 Jeep Commander and Grand Cherokee SUVs, Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger sedans, and Dodge Magnum wagons. All were built before May 12, 2008. Chrysler says the ignitions may not fully return to the "on" position after being started. The switches could move to "accessory" or "off." That could shut off the engine and knock out power-assisted steering and other features. Chrysler knows of one crash and no injuries from the problem. It's telling people to use the key alone in the ignition and confirm that switches have returned to "on" after starting their cars. Chrysler is investigating the cause. Customers will be notified when repairs are ready. Related Gallery The Trucks And SUVs Consumers Are Liking Most View 11 Photos
Jeep gunning to build 250,000 Cherokees a year
Thu, 21 Mar 2013Contrary to what a certain politician may have said last year about Jeep moving to China, the automaker is in fact doing the opposite, with plans to greatly increase the production capacity at its Toledo North Assembly plant in Ohio. The Detroit Free Press is reporting that there are big plans for the 2014 Jeep Cherokee and Toledo North, as a local union president has informed the newspaper that Chrysler is planning to produce around 250,000 examples of the new midsize utility per year.
To put this number into context, 250,000 units is more than what Jeep Liberty sales totaled here over the last three years combined. Even taking into consideration that the 250,000 units will be distributed beyond US borders, that's an ambitious volume figure full-stop - and that's without taking into consideration the new Cherokee's love/hate design. In its favor, though, Jeep is making remarkable inroads globally as of late, and the Cherokee's size could work well in emerging markets. To get that kind of output from Toledo's Cherokee assembly line, Chrysler will reportedly hire 1,105 new workers - that's in addition to the 200 workers already being hired to build the popular Jeep Wrangler, which is itself expected to top 220,000 units this year.
