I have my rugged CJ7 up for sale. This jeep has been in my family for the better part of 15 years, but i have just had a baby, so i need a more infant-carrier friendly vehicle. I am extremely meticulous in my vehicle maintenance; i often replace entire sets of parts instead of just the broken piece. Since i have been the owner of this jeep, i have performed a tremendous amount of work to keep it running strong. This jeep will probably not win any beauty pageants, but it will take you to all of them.
By vehicle sub-system i have replaced, maintenanced or updated:
Fuel
New fuel tank
Fuel pickup
Filler hoses
Filler neck
Gas cap
Soft lines
Fuel pump
Fuel filter
Carburetor -- Aftermarket Holley with manual choke and an ring air cleaner element available in any parts store.
Cooling
New brass-core radiator and cap
Water pump
Thermostat
Stainless bolts for the thermostat housing (old bolts rusted in place)
All rubber hoses
Heater core
Heater blower motor
Engine
Replaced the rear main seal (engine does not leak oil any more)
Timing chain (probably not necessary, but i already had the water pump out)
Ignition coil, plugs, wires, distributor cap and button
Replaced PCV valves and grommets
Electrical
Battery is less than 6 months old
Headlamps are Hella round enclosures with H1 bulbs -- which you can buy in any parts store, unlike the old sealed beam units.
All parking and exterior indicator lights
Interior
All new seats (front and rear)
NOS seat risers were used up front
Replaced seat belts and buckles
Floormats and steering wheel cover
Rear seat is a fold-and-tumble for additional space in the back
All new grade 8 fasteners were used when installing the equipment
All door and top seals were replaced
Drivetrain
Remanufactured Borg Warner/Tremec T5 5-speed manual transmission from JeepTransmissions. This is the same basic transmission that was installed in the old fox body mustangs, this is not the Peugeot unit that some jeeps came with.
Added a twin stick transfer case shifter -- this makes shifting from 2WD to 4WD and low to high range a breeze
Flywheel was resurfaced
Replaced pilot bearing
Replaced clutch disc
Replaced pressure plate
Replaced clutch engagement mechanism
Dana 300 was torn down and had new bearings and seals installed
Replaced aging U-joints with spicer U-joints to rebuild the drive shafts
Light weight forged aluminum wheels and General Grabber tires. I think this upgrade added 1 or 2 mpg by itself.
Braking
Replaced master cylinder
Replaced front hard lines
Replaced calipers and pads
Replaced all soft hoses
Replaced rear drums, springs and shoes
As you can see, i have invested some time and energy to maintaining this jeep through the time i have owned it. I have not modified it in any irreversible manner nor have i added any crazy lift kits. This is just a jeep at this point. It would be a great daily driver or a base for any serious off-road project. This jeep starts, runs and drives pretty well. The carb is tuned and it even works surprisingly well in the cold. The body has a few rust holes, but the frame and other equipment are all solid.
This jeep includes full-height steel doors and the original fiberglass hardtop.
Also available:
For an additional $100, i will include the original steel rims that came with the jeep. You could use these for mud or snow tires.
For an additional $300, i will include a set of new and never installed leaf springs suitable for a 4-inch lift. I bought these with the intention of replacing the entire suspension with an updated system, but in the end i never decided on a replacement.

Watch a Cayenne Turbo S, Range Rover SVR, and Cherokee SRT drag race
Thu, Mar 17 2016We live in a weird world where high-performance SUVs could win a 60-mile-per-hour sprint against sports cars from just a few years ago. Here, Top Gear sets up a three-way drag race against the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR, and Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, and the results show just how quickly these high-riding models can cross the quarter mile. The Cherokee SRT is the patriotic choice among the three, but it's down on power in this fight. Meanwhile, the Range Rover's menacing growl sounds the best, and the Cayenne Turbo S has the most horsepower. You'll have to watch the video to see which SUV will win this battle. Related Video:
Wards names its 2015 10 Best Interiors list
Fri, Apr 17 2015Wards Automotive has named the winners of its 10 Best Interior awards, covering a wide but affordable array of vehicles. Where last year's list contained two six-figure vehicles, including the $372,800 Rolls-Royce Wraith, this year's is, well, a whole lot more reasonable. The publication lists the Mercedes-Benz C400 at $65,000 (which seems off), making it the most expensive vehicle here. That said, we'd argue that the entire C-Class line deserves to make this year's list, owing to its varied and high-quality selection of materials. The other vehicle to break the $60,000 mark, meanwhile, is the $60,675 Ford F-150 King Ranch, which has 327,000 pounds of leather lining its interior. Only one other German car, the BMW i3, and one other pickup truck, the GMC Canyon, managed to make this year's list. Here's the full list of this year's winners: 2014 BMW i3 ($52,550) 2015 Chrysler 300C Platinum ($51,175) 2015 Ford F-150 King Ranch ($60,675) 2015 GMC Canyon SLT ($40,465) 2015 Honda Fit EX-L ($21,590) 2015 Jeep Renegade Limited ($33,205) 2015 Kia Sedona SXL ($43,295) 2016 Mazda6 Grand Touring ($33,395) 2015 Mercedes C400 ($65,000) 2015 Nissan Murano SL ($41,905) See what we mean about the mainstream vehicles? Not only is there a distinct lack of luxury brands, it's the price of some of the vehicles that surprise. The Honda Fit, Jeep Renegade and Mazda6 are very reasonably priced, especially when you compare Wards price with the starting price. The Renegade Limited starts at less than $25,000, the Mazda at less than $22K and the Fit at under $16,000. Head over to Wards for a more detailed explanation of why each vehicle won.
