Bassett, Virginia, United States

Immaculate 1986 Jeep CJ7 with a just completed frame on restoration.  This Jeep had the original paint up until 1 month ago when a frame on restoration was done.  The Jeep was a California Jeep and was very solid with no body damage and virtually no rust.  The frame is perfect, NO RUST AT ALL.   I have had this Jeep tagged and on the road for several months and used it as a daily driver before the paint/resto and have driven it a couple of times since then.   I get compliments everytime I drive it, because you just don't see that many CJ7's in this good a condition on the road everyday.  It  runs great, has good tight steering, good power disc brakes on the front and drums on the back in good working order.  It has a 5-speed manual transmission that works smooth with no problems.  The manual hubs, 4-wheel drive and  transfer case are all in good working order with no problems.  I have had this Jeep out on some main highways at 65 mph and it does not wander, shimmy, shake, pull or any of the myths with CJ Jeeps.   It goes straight and you can drive with one hand on the wheel.  It has a long list of new parts on this Jeep that include the paint, 31X10.50x15 all terrain tires, bikini top, manual gauges, fuel sending unit, front seats, mats, tail-light assemblies, park lights, stainless hood  hinges, tail-gate hinges, windshield hinges, mirrors, hood catches, hood decals, cowl vent, windshield to cowl weatherstripping, plugs, battery, oil change, filter, service, fender flares, fuel gauge, clutch, pressure plate, release bearing and pilot bearing, u-joints ......I may have missed something else.....its had a lot of money spent on it and needs very little more.   This is a good, smooth running Jeep with a slick factory Red paint job that turns heads everytime its driven.  It has a current Virginia state inspection (July 2014) and is ready to be driven.  All the seat-belts are in the Jeep also.  I would not be afraid to start anywhere on this Jeep, it is that smooth.  Winning bidder can come pay for the Jeep, bring a tag and drive it home.  I have a clear Virginia title in my name ready to go.  I have a bikini top only for the Jeep, but have ALL the hardware for a soft top, a set of full soft doors and a set of black safari doors go with the Jeep also.  I have a full 5-piece black carpet set that goes with the Jeep.  I did not put it in because I had rather have the ability to pull the plugs and wash it out rather than vacuum carpet, which holds moisture and causes rust.   I reserve the right to end the auction early as the Jeep is for sale locally.  Feel free to ask any questions and I will reply as best as I can.  I check email daily.  Thanks for looking and good luck bidding on an excellent daily driver CJ7 Jeep.

2014 Jeep Cherokee: Introduction

Tue, 27 May 2014

When we look back at some of the more shocking product launches of recent yeras, the Jeep Cherokee is certainly high up on the list. And we aren't just talking about its off-the-wall, polarizing design.
For starters, it brought back the iconic Cherokee nameplate - something Jeep enthusiasts have coveted for ages. But beyond that, it brought a new evolution for the Jeep brand. After all, the Cherokee is car-based - using the same compact platform that underpins the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200. It has a greater focus on technology and refinement than ever before, in an effort to appeal to a new crop of Jeep customers. And powering it all is a new (optional) V6 engine paired with an equally new nine-speed automatic transmission.
Can the Cherokee's car-based roots still allow for a vehicle that's superb when the going gets tough? Will its design still be a love/hate affair in one year's time, or will it start to blend in? Is the powertrain strong enough to not only support the needs of daily driving and road trips, but blaze a few trails as well? We're aiming to answer all these questions, and more, over the next 12 months. Welcome to the Autoblog long-term garage, Cherokee.

NHTSA investigating power modules on Chrysler Group SUVs and minivans

Mon, 29 Sep 2014

The Center for Auto Safety is officially petitioning the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to begin scrutinizing alleged problems with the totally integrated power module (TIPM) on about 24 Chrysler Group SUVs and minivans. The advocacy group claims that the part's failure can cause affected vehicles to stall or not start at all. NHTSA is still looking into the accusations and deciding whether a full investigation is actually warranted.
The CAS petition claims at least 70 TIPM failures, but according to NHTSA, six of the complaints are for models that don't have the modules. In 34 of the reported cases, the vehicles refused to start, and in 17 of them the engine stalled. There were also two allegations of smoke and one of a fire. However, none of these affected airbag deployment or resulted in a crash.
This petition isn't the first TIPM-related problem for Chrysler Group. A recent report in the New York Times alleged that it found 240 complaints potentially related to the issue on NHTSA's website alone. In September, the automaker also recalled 230,760 examples worldwide (188,723 in the US) of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango replace the fuel pump relay circuit inside of the TIPM-7 with one external to the unit. The original part could allegedly cause the models to stall without warning. Even earlier, the company also recalled about 80,000 examples of the Jeep Wrangler and Dodge Nitro in 2007 to have the module reprogrammed.

Chrysler taking big risk snubbing NHTSA

Maker Insists Feds Overstate Risk Of Fires With Grand Cherokee, Liberty Models
It's not often that recall stories make it above the fold, in that old newspaper parlance, but when one shows up as the lead story on the network evening news programs, you know it's something big.
And so it is with Chrysler snubbing its nose at a request by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to recall 2.7 million Jeeps the feds insist are at risk of potentially catastrophic fuel tank fires in a rear-end collision.
