Up for auction is a very clean 86 Jeep CJ 7. I have put a lot of money in this Jeep over the past year and due to some unforeseen circumstances I have to sell it. I hope it will find a new owner that will cherish it as much as I have.

Little history on the Jeep. I purchased it from the original owners son. He said is parents got it new and mainly used it as a tow vehicle. He had it for a few years and used it to commute and minor trail driving. He said the origial seats broke so he installed some Mastercraft Racing seats. Those were the first thing I replaced. He told me he loved the Jeep but had issues getting it to pass smog and kept taking it to different shops with no luck so he decided to sell it. Its been in southern California most of its life.

When I got it, the Jeep was in great shape, besides the seats. There were 2 large CB antennas on the rear and the paint was faded all over with the clear coat starting to peal off on the hood. It had some Rancho Shocks and BFG tires. It was a good running Jeep, just ran real rich. I replaced the distributor and carburator with new replacements. Not re manufactured units, but NEW. I also added a MSD ignition box and coil. Replaced the O2 sensor, CTS, and EGR valve. With a little adjusting the Jeep passed the CA emissions test with ease. Then it went up hill from there.

I started with the Axles, The rear was the stock Model 20. Early production 1986. I know they were weak. I swapped the gears to 4.10 and added a Detroit Locker and 1 piece axles with all new bearings and seals. The front was also swapped with 4.10 gears and a locker also. I then added a 4" lift kit with ProComp MX6 adjustable shocks all the way around. I purchased some 15x8 REV steel wheels and 33x12.50R15 Kumho Mud tires to top off the lift. I drove it around a bit then decided to have it repainted.

The body was stripped down and all the trim, glass, door parts and everything that could be removed taken off for a cleaner job. I knew I was replacing the factory tire carrier so I had the body shop weld the factory holes to the original tire carrier and the CB antennas. The body and frame were rust free and in great shape. While the Jeep was at the shop getting done I stated ordering parts. I decieded since I was doing a 4500 dollar paint job on the Jeep, I might as well replace all the parts that looked worn. All the rubber parts are new. I swapped most of the chrome trim with all black parts. Weather stripping was all new. I found a 95 Wrangler family roll bar to swap out the factory one. New deluxe carped, bestop front seats, new dash pad, all new door hardware and trim. Leather door panels. VDP sound bar with the 6 speaker system and map lights. Pioneer Bluetooth in dash radio with Pandora. All exterior lights are new, with front halo LED and 6000K hid bulbs. Thousands of dollars later the Jeep was back from the shop and I started assembling it.

Front and rear bumpers were replaced. Rear is a ball bearing tire carrier mounted to the frame with a hitch. Front is a stamped steal Smittybuilt unit. I had all the windows tinted when the glass was out of the Jeep. The top was repainted also. All the dash lights were replaced with SMD LED bulbs for brighter lighting at night. The flares were all replaced with new units. Front calipers, rotors, bearings, and pads are all new. Rear Shoes drums and hardware are all new. Has stainless brake lines front and rear. Aluminum radiator with electric fans from a Ford Contour that are wired to a 190 degree switch sitting in the thermostat housing. Always runs cool, even in the 107 degree weather we were having for the past few weeks in Socal.

I know there is a lot of items I have not mentioned on the Jeep. It is a great running Jeep that walks up rocks like nothing. It looks better then new. The body shop floated the whole Jeep to take the factory stamping marks out. I do not want to sell it. I poured thousands of dollars into this Jeep with high quality replacement parts. Invoices so high I could have bought a Rubicon. I have always loved the CJ body style and still do. I am not proud to sell it, just forced.

Will show to anyone interested before close of Auction. Sold AS IS

I have added some links to YouTube for videos of the Jeep. My Father has a 85 Jeep that hew was building at the same time that might be listed also.

Another crazy custom Jeep Wrangler spotted in Morocco

Sun, 03 Mar 2013

What in the world is the vehicle you see above? Well, um... yeah. We have no idea. According to the video description from YouTube, however, it's a modified Jeep Wrangler, and it comes from the same person who created the equally insane side-by-side merged Wrangler you saw here.
We can clearly make out the Wrangler-shaped passenger compartment up top, but as for the other bits and pieces that make up this rather amazing machine, your guess is as good as ours. At the very least, it seems to us that the car's wheelbase has been given a significant stretch, and the grille may have come from an International LoneStar Harley-Davidson Special Edition semi truck.
What other components are sourced from the massive International hauler? No idea. We suggest you check out the video below and draw your own conclusions. Oh, and if you've got any other ideas, feel free to let us know in the Comments.

Jeep Renegade pricing to start at $18,595?

Fri, 14 Mar 2014

While there's no shortage of excitement surrounding the new Jeep Renegade, one of the limiting factors to the little trucklet will be its price. With the Kia Soul starting at $14,900 and the Nissan Juke kicking off at $18,990, the Renegade can't afford to stray away from that price bracket.
And judging by some potentially leaked pricing info, it won't. A quick Google search of "Jeep Renegade Price" reveals (at least for now) that the Italian-built Jeep will start at $18,595. The "as shown" price of $25,895 seems to indicate the Trailhawk model shown on Jeep's consumer page.
If the $18,595 figure is correct, it's likely for the base, two-wheel-drive Sport model, with the Latitude and Limited trims falling somewhere between there and the $25,895 as-equipped price of the Trailhawk.

Here's why you shouldn't try to drift a Jeep Cherokee

There are many reasons why an XJ-generation (or really any other) Jeep Cherokee doesn't make for a good drift machine. It's tall, it's four-wheel-drive... it's a Jeep, okay? But someone apparently forgot to tell that to this guy. Uploaded to LiveLeak, this video shows some poor schmuck who took his Cherokee to a (mostly) empty parking lot and tried to drift it. Needless to say, things didn't go quite as he planned, but they probably went exactly as you might have expected. Thankfully, nobody appears to have been hurt. Or at least, we assume so, since the guy apparently survived to put the video up online.
