This auction is for a 1986 CJ7.  Vehicle was stripped down to frame.  Frame was sanded, cleaned, and painted with UV resistant restoration chassis paint.  The original CJ body had some rust issues indicative of it's age so the body was replaced with a new fiberglass tub with steel reinforcement plates embedded in the firewall, located at all critical points. The floor board mounting and seats point are also embedded and double reinforced with wood.  Wiring was all professionally done top notch with self grounded circuits so each circuit does not have to be run back to a single grounding bar.  Dash knobs and idiot lights all work and are new.  Everything has new oils and lubes.  I don't know how many miles are on the motor or if and when it was rebuilt but it was recently upgraded to a Eldebrock 4 barrel carburetor, the distributor rebuilt and tuned up by Tommy King, a well respected Houston area tuner. It really runs strong and sounds fantastic. If you have any questions or want additional pictures please feel free to contact me.

Some of the renovation included the following:

  • Fiberglass tub from 4wd hardware, herculined interior, enamel black paint sealed underside and firewall
  • Wrangler doors
  • Wrangler family bar and seat belts
  • 304 V8 with Eldebrock Performer intake and brand new Eldebrock 4 barrel carburetor
  • Manual 5 Spd
  • Heat works
  • New lockable console
  • New wiring harness and fuse block from Kwik Wire. Grounded loom option.
  • New Rugged Ridge black denim weather resistant "wipe off" seats (w/recline) 
  • New fuel pump and lines
  • New brakes, pads, lines, calipers, rotors, cylinders, new e-brake linkages all recently service by local brake shop
  • New u joints
  • New 33 x 12.5 Khumos
  • New steering linkage and tie rod ends
  • New windshield
  • New Superwinch hubs
  • New paint (New Chrysler Orange Crush color on new Jeeps and Dodges)
  • New Bikini top
  • Fresh Tune up from respected Houston mechanic, Tommy King.

Note: the color is a rich orange as shown the pictures from a distance. The pictures of the engine and interior show the exterior color looking washed out. I think this is because my camera was focused on the darker color for those shots in the sun.

Jeep gunning to build 250,000 Cherokees a year

Thu, 21 Mar 2013

Contrary 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.

Jeep gunning for 1M sales this year

Thu, 16 Jan 2014

Jeep CEO Mike Manley would rather soft-pedal the seven-figure prognostication for now, but Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne won't have it, proclaiming in an interview that Jeep will sell one million units worldwide this year. Manley has called that come-hither number "a stretch," the history of recent gains perhaps reason for his caution: in 2011 the brand sold 568,317 units, followed by the record-breaking tally of 701,626, then another record in 2013 with 731,565 units moved.
That kind of gap means everything will need to go magically for Jeep to record a 37-percent increase this year - amazing Cherokee sales, a brilliant launch for the little Jeep arriving in Europe later this year and a heavy wave to raise sales in US, European and Chinese markets. Manley is confident about the prospects in 2015, though, with the Cherokee in full stride, the Fiat-based Jeep on its way to the US and expanded global production. It's not as though Marchionne's prediction for Jeep's 2014 sales is unexpected, since he first made it last year. But even if the number ends up a little short for 2014, there's no doubt it will be impressive.

2014 Jeep Cherokee marketing launches with 'Built Free' commercial

Mon, 28 Oct 2013

Now that the 2014 Cherokee is finally on its way to dealerships, Jeep is starting its marketing blitz for its new crossover, beginning with this 60-second TV spot, called Built Free, that premieres today. Set to a Bob Dylan recording, the ad spot discusses something we can all relate to - the feeling of being too busy and too cooped up with everyday tasks to really get out there and explore the world. But as Jeep says in the commercial, "You're still here. And you're still you. The horizons haven't gone anywhere."
Autoblog spoke to Kim Adams-House, head of marketing for the Jeep brand, who explained that this Built Free spot is "an anthemic piece" that "sparks the conversation" for the new Cherokee. As you'll notice, none of the new Jeep's features - its off-road systems, nine-speed automatic transmission, etc. - are mentioned in the ad, but Adams-House says that future marketing "will speak to more" of the CUV's highlights. Following this 60-second spot, 30-second commercials will launch that talk about some of the specific product features.
When asked if the Built Free campaign will include any throwbacks to the original Cherokee, Adams-House told Autoblog that while "we love that vehicle," the new spots are intended to carve out "a unique space for Cherokee in our product portfolio and marketplace." On that same note, don't expect any other Jeep vehicles to get the Built Free treatment. Adams-House said that while this ad "does resonate overall with the brand," it is solely intended to promote the new Cherokee.
