Jeep Cj7 1976 Amc 304 V8 4x4 Original Hardtop, Southern, Runs Good, Lights Work on 2040-cars

 I have 1976 Jeep Cj7 for sale. I bought this vehicle while stationed in Alabama, and by the lack of rust I believe it spent all of it's life in the South. The Jeep is almost completely original with the AMC 304 V8 under the hood attached to the original three speed transmission as well. Blinkers and brake lights work. In the pics you will see the original air filter and most of the EGR system in tact. The gentleman I bought it from was a helicopter mechanic and did an excellent job replacing the floor boards, this Jeep is solid. If you're looking for an old Cj with minimal body work this one is for you. The engine runs strong. Some of the discrepancies. I would replace the front fenders which are readily available, looks like someone stood on them at one time, rear view mirror is missing, the side running lights are missing but easily rewired. If you look at the pics you will see original paint under the hood and inside as well, along with the original seats. Here is a Jeep you can put on the road today and make improvements while you enjoy driving in it. And if you're like me you'll appreciate the original hard top as well, especially with our winters. If you have any questions please send me a message and I will respond. Thanks for looking.

You mentioned very little rust. Where is the rust and how bad is it? Is there any way you can send pics of the rust spots? Thanks, Keith

 Hey Keith, I will send all the pictures you want. Well the rust... the floor has been completely replaced and rear tailgate is diamond plate. The little rust I speak of is the rest of the body, the corners are solid, windshield. There is some rust on the bottom of the doors, but not much. I am speaking relatively to any other old Cj I've seen. The last one I rebuilt I had to replace the tub, this one you would not. What is your email? I'm at my limit of pictures on here. I do see it allows me to add photos on here as well. Or please call me at 309 912 6187. John

Can you tell me the condition of Engine( smoke, oil usage) Trans condition and 4x4....Front end condition for as handling...Does the jeep have heat....Thanks

Engine compression is from 119 on the lowest to 135 on the highest. They average out at 129. There is smoke smoke at start up which I believe to be coming from the valve stem seals. But once it's running I'm not seeing any smoke. As far as the front end it does not have power steering or brakes. It seems fine to me, I've driven down the highway up to 80 mph. I live 15 minutes out of town. It shifts through all of the gears smoothly and the 4 wheel drive works. I can tell you it all works. If you have any questions or would like more pictures leave me your email. I can be reached at 309 912 6187. John

Chrysler recalls small number of 2013-2014 cars and trucks over engine debris

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

Chrysler is recalling a small number cars over issues with their 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. The recall, which affects 522 examples of its 2013 Dodge Avenger and Chrysler 200 models, as well as 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot CUVs has to do with potential debris in the balance shaft bearings.
The abrasive stuff can cause the oil pressure to drop, which could lead to the engine stalling or outright failure. This situation could at best leave drivers stranded and at worst lead to a crash.
Chrysler will begin notifying owners, who will need to report in to have the balance shaft module replaced. All repairs are naturally free of charge. Scroll down for the bulletin from NHTSA.

Excavator in China bashes BMW and Jeep out of the way

Tue, Jun 2 2015

This Chinese construction site apparently has a zero tolerance policy towards obstacles getting in the way of work. When blocked by a Jeep and a BMW, the operator of this excavator pushes the two vehicles out of the way like they're toys. The Bimmer gets the brunt of the abuse, with the sedan getting lodged up against a fence. The exact context of this clip isn't entirely known, but The Mirror in Britain speculates the vehicles are illegally parked. But that doesn't explain why the excavator crashes through a gate later in the video. Also, this doesn't appear to be the case of a rogue operator taking out some frustrations, because a man with a walkie-talkie is leading the way and seemingly directing the destruction. Nonetheless, getting permission to knock these cars around was probably the highlight of this driver's day. News Source: The Mirror, AOL On BMW Jeep Crossover Videos Sedan

2014 Jeep Cherokee: June 2014

Wed, 09 Jul 2014

I got a text message from Editor-In-Chief Sharon Carty one afternoon proclaiming that her new favorite SUV is our long-term 2014 Jeep Cherokee. And she's not alone. I'm not sure if anyone else on staff would go so far as to use the "favorite" descriptor, but after just over a month of honeymooning with our new long-termer, it's safe to say that the Jeep is quickly finding its way into the good graces of a number of Autoblog staffers.
There's good reason for all that praise, too. Thus far, the Jeep has proven itself to be incredibly competent and comfortable for daily life - it's functional, quiet, and packed with a host of amenities that make it easy to live with. It's been wholly trouble-free (with less than 4,000 miles on the clock as of this writing, it ought to be), but even nitpicks have been few and far between.
