This Jeep is only of significant value in California.  Finding CJ7's with legal V8 conversions is rare in California and the previous owner spent $8,500 on the engine/transmission conversion.


So far I've only had one person come and look at the Jeep.  They liked it but said it had too much motor for them.  Can you ever have too much power?

I bought this in 2006 and have rarely driven it since then.  The gal I bought it from used it as a commuter and rarely took it off road.  She also spent gobs of money on it and almost everything on this Jeep has been replaced or rebuilt.  The front seats are the only item I see that reflects 366,000 miles.  

No rust.

40,000 since a 1991 Throttle Body 5.7 Liter Chevy Truck motor was installed.   This installation is smog legal in California.  

700R4  4speed automatic overdrive transmission with  shift kit and Lokar shifter

Dana 300 transfer case

Summit Racing gear reduction starter

Dana 44 rear end with one piece axles (original in some 1986 CJ's), 4.56 gears and Auburn limited slip

Dana 30 front differential with 4.56 ratio.

Vintage brand aftermarket air conditioning.  The system is a recirculation type system so the intake vent was sealed off as shown in one of the photos.  The seal job was poorly done but could easily be cleaned up.  The previous owner paid $1600 for the A.C. unit.

Warn XD9000i winch (selling separately if this auction is not successful).

Rockford Fosgate Radio/CD player with Polk speakers

Kayline softtop

Bikini top

2.5 inch lift.  The front springs are YJ wrangler springs (2.5" wide instead of 2" stock width).

Currie shackles

Currie steering box brace

Braided Stainless steel flexible brake lines

Ubolt skid plates

Sway bar quick disconnects

Borgeson collapsible steering shaft

Fold and tumble OEM rear seat.

33" BFG mud terrains.  I checked the date codes and one is a KO style from 2004 and the other three tires are the older style mud terrains and are from 1995-1998.  They have been in the garage most of the time and I don't see any dry rot.  They came off another Jeep that I had parted out and four wheeled pretty hard.  The tires are somewhat cut up from rocks and hitting the previous Jeep's fenders but have at least 75% tread left.  

The spare is a 33" Goodyear and has 95% tread and is date code 2002.  The spare will be loose because the rack is not mounted.

The wheels are steel/chrome and a bit banged up on the edges because they were on my other Jeep.  The spare is aluminum.

Trail Quest extra 23 gallon extra capacity fuel tank.  The previous owner told me it's 23 gallons.  I suspect it's 20 gallons.

Notebook with all major records and conversion receipts/notes.

The steering wheel in the photos will be replaced with a new one.  I have an emotional attachment to the one shown.  I  can also let you buy your own.  I'll give a $125 credit if this is desired and you can ship my wheel back to me.

I bought a Warn rear bumper and tire rack that I never installed. It will come with the vehicle but will need to be installed by the buyer.

The old original spare tire mounting holes are shown in three of the photos.  The Warn bumper/rack mount to the frame and not to the body.

One of the photos of the left rear quarter panel shows where I tried to sand out a emblem someone had painted on the Jeep.  The paint is thin there and the gloss is gone.

The vehicle has two small oil leaks.  I would consider them more seeps than leaks because it's probably close to a drop a day from each spot.  There's no way to tell but the oil spot on the concrete is only about 1.5 inches in diameter over the course of a few weeks.  3 or 4 inches over the course of 6 months or a year.  Also, the fuel gauges works but is not correct, i.e. it moves but 1/2 tank mark is not actually 1/2 tank.

Reserve is $10,900.00 

Feel free to ask questions or give me any suggestions.

Chrysler extending production of current Dodge Avenger, Jeep Wrangler, Grand Caravan

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Are you hesitant to pull the trigger on a brand new Dodge Avenger in hopes that a new one will be coming? Well, don't hold your breath. According to The Detroit News, Chrysler will be extending production of the current Avenger sedan through the end of 2015.
Originally, we heard that the company would kill the Avenger to better focus its midsize sedan efforts on the Chrysler 200 replacement. But then new reports stated there would indeed be an Avenger successor, and that we could see it as early as next January. This Detroit News report cites supplier sources confirming the extension of Avenger production, though Chrysler has not released an official statement on the matter.
These same suppliers say that the current Jeep Wrangler will live on through mid-2018 - that's right, another five years. The Detroit News reports that a replacement for the iconic, go-anywhere Jeep was due in mid-2016.

Jeep launches new ad with unreleased Michael Jackson track

Fri, 09 May 2014

We've recently heard much about how Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne plans to pump up the volume on Jeep sales, inaugurating new models and global dealerships. But that's the stuff outlined in five-year plans; right now, advertising and special editions are at the fore, and the late Michael Jackson, too. Jeep has begun airing two commercials to push its Altitude Editions, Call of Summer and Lovers of the Game, that feature the song "Love Never Felt So Good" from Jackson's upcoming album of new music.
A little more star power - and timely, too - comes from Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving. While Call of Summer features a few short shots of the former Rookie of the Year and two-time NBA All-Star, Lovers of the Game is all about his white Wrangler Altitude Edition and wrangling shots. You can watch both spots below, and if you want to hear the rest of the music track before the album hits, you can download it from iTunes.

Jeep Wrangler Copper Crawler is our idea of a restrained Mopar shopping spree

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

According to a recent report, the Jeep Wrangler is the most popular SUV for customization, and this is backed up by the fact that the iconic off-roader was just named the Hottest 4x4-SUV at SEMA for the fourth year in a row. Looking for ways to keep its customers in-house rather than going aftermarket, Jeep and Mopar are always teaming to offer exciting new parts and pieces for the JK Wrangler.
Compared to most other Wranglers on display at SEMA - as well as other Chrysler Mopar SEMA concepts - the Jeep Wrangler Copper Crawler is surprisingly reserved, but should be no less exciting for owners to give their Wrangler a distinctive look. Starting off with an eye-catching copper paint scheme, the Jeep then goes on a Mopar catalog shopping spree with its matte black grille, black beadlock wheels, two-inch lift, Rubicon bumper (with a winch and aero end caps up front) and rocker panel and taillight guards.
Jeep also upgraded the Wrangler's transfer case for low-speed rock crawling (hence the vehicle's name) and cold-air intake for extra measure.
