**Previous sale fell through due to financing** Beautiful 1983 Jeep CJ7 with Chevy 350 New engine has 20,000 miles on it. I bought this Jeep last year, and have not done anything to the existing motor or transmission. Nearly all the work I have done is on the body. Significant body work (dents, rust, etc.) and a full paint job. VERY little bondo was used, as I work part-time at a body shop. There was rust on the floorboard of the driver and passenger side. I cut all rust out and welded in new floor panels. Seam-sealed, and rust-proofed those. Had the interior tub sprayed with truck bed-liner. I painted the doors, windshield, roof, and all trim pieces with spray-on rubberized silicone. I added diamond plate accents to the windshield frame, and repaired with new parts the windshield wiper mechanism. I replaced the seal between the windshield and tub to prevent rusting or leaks. Tested, and no leaks. I painted a layer of black textured rubberized undercoating on surfaces that have a lot of wear (where the hard-top meets the tub, the hood meets the front fenders). I also painted parts of the under-carriage, front and rear bumper, and fuel tank with a black shiny rust-proof paint. I pulled out the dashboard, and cleaned the wires. Painted the dashboard, and cleaned all chrome surfaces. I also installed an upgraded heating system, making the interior nice and toasty in the winter. Comes with removable hard-top and 2 hard doors. * No radio/speakers (for you to install as you want)* Driver and passenger seats have damage under cover* Fuel sending unit has faulty ground Here are some more specs: -
Dana 44 axles -
Turbo 350 transmission -
New 33” tires -
Spray-in liner on the tub - All rust removed, body painted -
Removable hard-top This baby looks and sounds great. Here is the YouTube video proving it: http://youtu.be/MctxJDzmyVo |

100,000 Jeep Cherokee models subject to further 9-speed recalibration
Thu, 29 May 2014It seems that the software problems with the nine-speed automatic gearbox in the Jeep Cherokee continue to mount. The programming already caused multiple development delays and even postponed the Cherokee's market launch by roughly two months. Now, Jeep has issued another recalibration to hopefully assuage unhappy drivers.
According to Automotive News, this reflash for the allegedly jerky transmission covers over 100,000 Cherokees built before May 5, but it's not technically a recall. If owners are having problems and complain to the dealer, they get the new software. Otherwise, they continue with the current version. New vehicles on dealer lots also receive the latest revision to the programming. It takes only around five minutes to install, but technicians need to take the Cherokee on a test drive to adapt the gearbox to the changes.
The Cherokee's transmission software has been problematic practically since the beginning. The Jeep plant in Toledo, OH, briefly idled its second-shift workers last year to take care of the issue. Since the launch issues for the crossover, demand has been strong. Jeep added another 1,000 temporary workers to the Toledo factory to keep up, and sales were on par with the Wrangler in just its first two months.
Chrysler's Woodward Dream Cruise festivities include Ram concept truck debut
Tue, 13 Aug 2013The streets will be crowded next weekend along Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak, Michigan for the 19th Annual Woodward Dream Cruise. As part of the run-up to the festivities, Chrysler has announced that all of its brands - Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Fiat, SRT and Mopar - will bring along their latest vehicles. Also included will be a collection of classic American cars and various activities for attendees at the official Chrysler location on the corner of Woodward and 13 Mile Road.
Special to this year, Ram brand director Bob Hegbloom and head of design John Dehner will unveil a Ram concept truck on Saturday. Chrysler will also bring Ryan Friedlinghaus of West Coast Customs fame along to show off a few custom Chrysler-made vehicles of his own. Fans of the brand on Facebook will get the chance to virtually customize a vehicle from the automaker's portfolio, with the winner getting their dream car built for them by Chrysler. Pretty cool stuff, no?
As in past years, Ford and General Motors will have an official presence at the event as well, and you can expect to see plenty of cars of all makes and models from all parts of the globe. The madness starts this Friday, August 16, from 4:30 PM to 10 PM, with the main event taking place on Saturday, from 9 AM to 9 PM. For more details on the show, including events and their times, check out the press release below.
2013 Jeep Wrangler Moab Edition
Wed, 11 Dec 2013There will forever be a soft spot in my heart for the Jeep Wrangler. The last one I owned was red, and, as a 1990 model, had the square headlights derided by Jeep enthusiasts who grew up on the Civilian Jeeps that descended from their General Purpose military ancestors. As a teenager, I couldn't have cared less what shape its headlights happened to be - to me, a Jeep Wrangler represented freedom; a carefree do-it-all machine equally at home with the top stowed away in the summer or with the heater on full blast in the snowy clutches of Old Man Winter. In Dr. Seuss parlance, my square-headlighted Sneetch was just as worthy as any round-headlighted Sneetch.
All that said, I'll be the first person to advise against buying a Jeep Wrangler of any sort for owners who don't plan to use it as its makers intend. There's no good reason to punish yourself with a stiff and springy ride, a loud and somewhat drafty (though generally water-resistant) interior or the poor fuel economy expected of a block-shaped vehicle if you don't enjoy its other, more exciting benefits.
Of course, Jeep has done its darndest over the years to make the Wrangler as civilized as possible while keeping it as capable as federal law will allow. The 2013 Jeep Wrangler Moab edition is one of Jeep's latest attempts to attract attention from the upper reaches of the active lifestyle set, and I spent a week with one to see what makes the Moab special.
