I have a Custom 1984 Jeep CJ7 that has been through a frame off restoration that went in stages through the years of 1998-2002 and still looks good today. It has been garage kept every winter and has never seen a rain since I purchased it.  

It was built to be a fun summer cruiser and is a good one at that. It has a rebuilt 304 AMC engine built from scratch. All parts were purchased separately and put together nicely. The block was bored 40 over with some nice new pistons. The crank I had was completely redone as well as the heads. The cam is a Comp Cam with a 292 duration and a 518 lift. It definitely has an amazing sound with the help of a custom dual Flowmaster exhaust coming out the back at an angle. The radiator was brand new at the time of rebuild along with the distributor, Holley Laser shot coil, wires and the aluminum Edelbrock intake. I put a nice aluminum battery tray and aluminum over flow tank in as well.   

It has a T-176 transmission out of another CJ that was rebuilt.

It has a dana 35 front axle and a model 20 rear with the one piece put in for the extra strength and the nice flat hub look. Both axles have great looking aluminum fin hub covers.

You could definitely have a blast taking this off road but I never have. It’s strictly been a nice day cruiser for me.  The lift is a Rancho 2 1/2 in suspension lift with Rancho shocks. It has a nice mild 2in body lift that’s tucked under without being seen along with beefier shackles. 

Tires are 33x12.5 15 TSL Thornbirds with Mickey Thompson 15x10 wheels with 1/2 -3/4 tread left. I do have a full size spare that has never been used. I have a very neat spare tire carrier that actually goes in place of the backseat and is bolted to the floor and holds the spare at an angle like you see in the back of a pickup truck but made for a jeep. It’s still in the box that it came in and the backseat is still in the jeep.  

The interior is basic. It has a full roll cage, aluminum diamond plate dash, an aluminum wiper motor cover, the tub was rhino lined, aluminum diamond plate floor plates where the driver and passenger feet go. In the entry ways there are aluminum diamond plate guards along with custom RCI racing bucket seats with a great locking Tuffy console that houses your radio/cd player. The gauges are the digital ones that look great at night, with the addition of a digital tach as well. There’s a billet Grant steering wheel with a Sony cd player,  JL Audio 6x9 speakers in the pods tucked between the roll cage and rear fender wells and 5 1/4 JL Audio speakers in the dash.   

The body is the original metal tub that required some body work. The fenders and hood are also original. The only body part that isn’t original is the windshield frame. The windshield frame was powdered coated to a nice bright shiny finish. The frame is super clean even before the resto there was no rust as well as the axles are very nice and rust free. The whole under carriage, inside of fender wells and part of the engine compartment are painted black using a thick more durable paint that’s easy to clean and hose off.

It does not have a top or doors just because I have never driven it in weather that required it. The heater was actually taken out just because it was never used. The bumpers are chrome double tube Smittybuilt which look great with the chrome grill, aluminum diamond plate front frame cover and aluminum diamond plate gas tank skid plate. All the hinges are polished stainless steel as well as the gas fill plate and the custom round recessed tail lights. The front bumper has 2 KC 6” round chrome lights with matching colored cover for the jeep. They were put on but never wired up. I have all the wiring and switches to finish the install.  

 

The reason I’m selling it is because it is never driven, it just sits in the garage and with being busy with work and family I really don’t have the time for it. There are two things that need to be done on it and one is the rear brakes. I actually just disconnected them because I was going to put a rear disk brake conversion kit on it that I never got around to doing but the rear brakes are all there, the lines are just pinched off right now and just need to be hooked back up. The other thing is the digital gauges, not sure if they go bad over time, but some seem to come and go at times. The fuel gauge, the volt meter and the water temp are the 3 that have issues. It could be a lose connection over time, just not sure. The miles before the rebuild it was in the low 50’s. After I installed the new gauges, they weren’t recording the millage properly. I only drive it maybe once every 2 months when it’s nice but I do change the oil every year even though it really doesn’t need it. It’s a great jeep and very fun to drive, thanks for looking.

FCA believes thieves aren't getting into Jeeps with laptops

Mon, Jul 11 2016

Last week, we reported on an incident where thieves stole a 2010 Jeep Wrangler from an owner's driveway in Houston, TX with nothing but a laptop. While the security footage made it seem like the perpetrator hacked into the vehicle, we had a conversation with FCA's senior manager of security architecture Titus Melnyk who set the record straight. According to Melnyk, the thief in the video isn't using the laptop to get into the vehicle, but rather as a means of coding a blank key fob and then using that fob to get into the Jeep. According to Melnyk, the suspects have gained access to a key programming tool, which allows them to pair blank key fobs to FCA vehicles. With the key fob now coded, the suspects can get into the vehicle and drive away. The thieves, believes Melnyk, have acquired the programming tool through a dishonest dealership or locksmith. Since the suspects are using a process designed to be used (honestly) by dealers, FCA doesn't consider this to be hacking and believes that there are no security flaws in the vehicles. How are the thieves getting key fobs? While Melnyk believes it is possible to recode an existing key fob, he points out that it's much easier to purchase a blank key fob on Ebay for less than $25. FCA is working closely with the Houston Police Department to apprehend the suspects. Related Video: Jeep Technology SUV Videos viral video hacking thieves

2016 Jeep Renegade Dawn of Justice is a Superhero special [w/video]

Mon, Feb 22 2016

The Jeep Renegade doesn't fit the usual image for the Batmobile, but it seems Bruce Wayne is willing to use what's around in a pinch. Thanks to the compact crossover's appearance for a scene in the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice movie, a new version now offers customers a blacked-out CUV that looks tailor made for the Dark Knight. Buyers can order the Renegade Dawn of Justice Special Edition in an exclusive shade called Carbon Black or a lighter Granite Crystal with a gloss black roof. To continue the dark look, Jeep fits shiny black trim and 18-inch wheels in the same color, and there's an emblem that blends Superman and Batman's logos. The shadowy appearance continues inside on the cloth seats and gloss trim, but metal diamond accents on the gearshift and door handles offer some contrast. The company bases the Dawn of Justice edition on the Latitude 4x4 trim with the 2.4-liter four-cylinder and nine-speed automatic. It comes standard with the Popular Equipment Group, which combines remote start, a power driver's seat, and dual-zone climate control. The Dawn of Justice Special Edition retails for $27,245 (after $995 destination) and is available now. Company spokesperson Todd Goyer tells Autoblog that Jeep expects production to be in the "low thousands." You can watch Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne speeding around in a Renegade below in the ad for this superhero-themed version. The film hits theaters on March 25. This content is hosted by a third party.
