1986 Jeep CJ7 Renegade. "Frame off" restoration just completed. Mint Mint Mint! Everything on this Jeep is either brand new or completely restored. Tastefully redone... It was painted "Mango Tango" the 2011 Jeep Wrangler color. It sits nice with a brand new 4" suspension lift and brand new 33" tires. Its a 5 speed that has the original 258 inline 6 cylinder engine completely redone with new Weber carb. Fiberglass body and windshield frame. The frame was sanded down and painted with por-15 (a rust preventative). It has new brakes, brake lines and master cylinder. New fuel lines, new radiator, basically everything under the hood is new. The body interior and underside were all painted with "herculiner" as well as the underside of the hood and inner fenders. (yes, i realize fiberglass does not rust... However, it looks much cleaner and I prefer it over carpet). New side and rear bumpers, new fender flares, new rear tail lights, new headlights, new turn signal lights, new interior knobs, new shifter knobs, new shifter boots. All new seats (front and rear). I have the bikini top on it now, but I also have a full soft top and full soft doors as well as the original hard top in good condition and the original full hard doors that are usable but would need to be restored. I never used them as I built the jeep as a toy to cruise around town in the summer and to grab ice cream with the kids. Also, I have a garage so I never needed to install either top. It was finished last September and I've only driven it a handful of times... Probably less than 50 miles since its been finished. It was a father-son project that was a lot of fun to build, but unfortunately I'm one of those people that can't just be happy with what they have. This is a "Bad Ass" Jeep that's not over-done with useless accessories or gaudy decals and it needs to go to a new home.

Jeep mulling power top for next Wrangler
Fri, 07 Mar 2014Jeep is hard at work on the next-generation Wrangler, though the truck is still a few years from hitting the trails. The new model will still be aimed at off-roaders, but rumors suggest it will be a little more comfortable than previous versions to appeal to more people.
According to Road and Track, Jeep is developing a power-retractable top as an expensive option for the Wrangler. There is no word if the top in question is a sliding canvas rollback like the ones found on many European vehicles or a full convertible hardtop or softtop, nor do we know whether it would be made available on two- or four-door models. It might be a nice feature for some buyers but would certainly add complexity to a truck already known for its ruggedness. We asked Jeep for confirmation, but Jeep spokesperson Todd Goyer could only remind us that the company "can't comment about future products."
In news that is likely to irk the faithful, R&T reports the next model may also ditch its folding windshield for improved safety and possibly even get rid of its rear-mounted, full-size spare tire. The new Wrangler won't go completely soft, though, and will reportedly still feature removable doors and solid axles.
Jeep gunning for 1M sales this year
Thu, 16 Jan 2014Jeep CEO Mike Manley would rather soft-pedal the seven-figure prognostication for now, but Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne won't have it, proclaiming in an interview that Jeep will sell one million units worldwide this year. Manley has called that come-hither number "a stretch," the history of recent gains perhaps reason for his caution: in 2011 the brand sold 568,317 units, followed by the record-breaking tally of 701,626, then another record in 2013 with 731,565 units moved.
That kind of gap means everything will need to go magically for Jeep to record a 37-percent increase this year - amazing Cherokee sales, a brilliant launch for the little Jeep arriving in Europe later this year and a heavy wave to raise sales in US, European and Chinese markets. Manley is confident about the prospects in 2015, though, with the Cherokee in full stride, the Fiat-based Jeep on its way to the US and expanded global production. It's not as though Marchionne's prediction for Jeep's 2014 sales is unexpected, since he first made it last year. But even if the number ends up a little short for 2014, there's no doubt it will be impressive.
What's really going on with the 2014 Jeep Cherokee's transmission issues?
Fri, 27 Sep 2013On September 23, Automotive News reported that Chrysler had idled the second shift workers it hired just five weeks prior at its Toledo Assembly Complex to build the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. At the time, Chrysler said it had "built the critical number of vehicles we need to stock dealerships once containment is released" and did not want "to put additional strain on our logistics partners ... upon release." That reasoning was not only unusual, it didn't seem to make sense.
It appears the center of the nine-speed issue is software, not hardware.
That same day, the Detroit News ran a piece claiming workers at the Toledo factory said the halt was due to issues with the Cherokee's transmission. It put the number of already-built Cherokees needing fixes at 1,000 and said that some of the workers not laid off had been instructed "to take the Jeep on long test-drives." That made more sense. Three days later, on September 26, Automotive News reported that the 500 workers laid off had been reinstated, with engineers "speeding repairs on the SUV's powertrain software." The AN piece didn't put a number on how many units are being fixed, but it did say that 12,000 have been built and are awaiting delivery to dealers. The best it could say about when dealers will get them, however, is that "progress on a fix is being made. It's unclear when shipments to dealers will start."
