 1982 Jeep CJ 7 Renegade:

Tons of work completed! Very little rust for an '82. Lots of body work completed, but understand I was not going for a full resto, more of a solid daily wheeler you could drive to and from the mountains. Undercarriage was cleaned and sealed w/ POR15 rust preventive paint. Original color and original "Renegade" Sticker on the hood... It's distinctive. Awesome Jeep, but after 8 years it needs a new home.

The Good -

- Fully Rebuilt Front and Rear Diffs
- Rear Ox Locker
- 2" Pro Comp Lift w/ MX6 adjustable shocks

- 31" Studded Snow Tires, drives great in the snow and wet
- Chevy Blazer Heat Blower Motor Upgrade
- CD w/ Aux Jack and good Speakers
- Grey Bikini Top

- Full Hard Doors
- Full Soft Doors (tan color)

The Bad -

- No Emissions Equipment, i.e. it probably will not pass.
- Fuel Gauge Doesn't work & the Speedo only works to 35mph.
- Motor was Freshly Rebuilt about 2000 miles ago, BUT if it is warm and idles for about 5 min w/out driving it will start to smoke. Compression was tested and is an even 120-125psi across all cylinders.

That Said, I just drove it 250 miles through the mountains w/ out an issue and no noticeable oil use and wouldn't be afraid to do so again.

I would love to keep the Jeep, but I had to purchased a truck for work and the Jeep needs to go.

 As with most built Jeeps.. well over $10K in parts, maintenance, and upgrades.

I am Located in Central Denver, CO.  Buyer would be responsible for shipping or pick-up of the vehicle.

Refreshed Chrysler 300 SRT won't be sold in NA

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

It looks like it might be time to bid farewell to the V8 rumble from the Chrysler 300 SRT - at least if you live in North America. The reported change comes as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles reshuffles its ranks with the Dodge brand, re-absorbing SRT and building its muscular reputation with the Challenger and Charger Hellcat models. Meanwhile, Chrysler is taking a more mainstream approach, and that likely means the end of overt high-performance models from the division for now.
According to Automotive News, the 300 SRT will be discontinued in the US for 2015, but it won't be totally dead. Some right-hand drive markets will still get the brawny V8 sedan next year, a distinction that goes a long way toward explaining some spy shots we've seen recently.
The 300 SRT's North American demise probably shouldn't come as a total shock. In FCA's five-year plan, it says that the 300 is destined for a refresh to be unveiled later this year, presumably at the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show. There's no mention of the SRT model in the document, though, which seems to signal its end.

Chrysler recalling 644k more Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs over brakes

Wed, 02 Apr 2014

Early last month, we reported on Chrysler issuing a preemptive, proactive recall for about 25,000 units of the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango. The issue revolved around a brake system that wasn't causing any actual problems, but delivered an unsatisfactory brake feel, so Auburn Hills called in a good 25,000 of SUVs around the world, including 18,700 in the United States.
Now Chrysler, having apparently determined that the brake problem on its sport utes is actually much bigger than it initially realized, has drastically broadened the scope of the recall. As a result, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for precisely 655,354 examples of the Grand Cherokee and Durango, covering the 2011 through 2014 model years. In addition, Chrysler is recalling 42,380 units in Canada, 21,376 in Mexico and 159,685 overseas.
The problem which Chrysler found revolves around the brake booster, whose center shell has been found to be subject to corrosion, allowing water to get into the brake system. That water in turn could freeze, preventing the brakes from working as well as expected.

Toyota, Lexus dominate KBB's Best Resale Value Awards

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Toyota and Lexus stormed the 2014 Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Awards, winning a combined 18 categories including best brand and best luxury brand. This marks the third year in a row that both automakers have won the Brand and Luxury Brand resale value awards. In all, Toyota won 11 categories and Lexus won seven.
Honda made a good showing, as well, winning two segments (Accord Plug-In Hybrid and Civic Si) and putting one car on the top-10 Best Resale Value list (CR-V). Chevrolet did even better, winning two segments (with the V6 Camaro and the Corvette) and placing three cars on the top-10-overall list (again, the Camaro and Corvette, plus the Silverado 1500).
The other winners came from Jeep, Dodge, Infiniti, Subaru and Audi. To give you a clearer picture of the Toyota and Lexus domination, their 18 mentions represents more than half of the 34 awards (including the top-10-overall list).
