This 1986 AMC Jeep CJ7 was a project car that I purchased back in 2005. A year later my third child was born and since a family of 5 does not fit well in a CJ7 my usage of this classic CJ has continually declined to the point that I have not licensed it in the last two years and only driven it around the neighborhood to keep the battery charged. Now it is time to let someone else continue her restoration.
- 4.2L (258 c.i.) inline six-cylinder with a Howell Throttle Body Injection instead of the notorious Carter BBD carburetor. The Howell TBI gives slightly improved performance, easier starting, and easily passes Colorado emissions tests.
- Dana 300 transfer case and a Torque-Flight TF999 automatic transmission.
- Almost new 33x12.5x15 BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO tires
- Rubicon Express 2.5" suspension lift kit.
- Hard top and hard doors plus a Bestop Soft Top and 2 piece soft doors
- Warn "shorty" front bumper
- Oversized rear bumper with spare tire carrier and 2" receiver
- 20 gallon gas tank
- Differential gliders front and rear
- Tub is very solid
- The paint is a 6 out of ten. It looks good in most places but is bubbling, chipping, or has surface rust just ahead of the doors and on the hard doors at the hinges and on the rear window post
- Water stain on top of the soft top that is not visible from the ground unless you are 7 feet tall
- Soft top is missing a zipper on the left rear window insert
- Even though this has a 20 gallon tank the previous owner left the standard 15 gallon fuel pickup in the tank so the last 4+ gallons is unusable
- The spare tire is on a black rim instead of matching chrome rim
- The seat covers are waterproof but have some sun discoloration and small rips and tears

Jeep's new Chip Away commercial has us hunting Al Pacino's back catalog
Tue, 19 Feb 2013Chrysler has done a pretty good job as of late turning its television commercials into pep talks or rallying cries, but for its first ad for the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee, it turned to Al Pacino's inspirational speech from the movie Any Given Sunday. In the movie, Pacino's character talks about how football is a game of inches, but the commercial, titled Chip Away, focuses more on the attention to detail that Jeep has exhibited on its updated flagship SUV.
Centering around the newest Grand Cherokee model, the luxurious $47,995 Summit trim level, the commercial shows off some of the hand-stitched leathers and real metal and wood accents found inside the cabin. Check out the new 60-second spot by scrolling below.
Watch this Jeep Willys return to its birthplace after 70 years
Sun, 23 Jun 2013Earlier this month, a very significant Jeep was celebrated at the Toledo North Assembly plant. No, it wasn't the upcoming reincarnation of the Jeep Cherokee, but instead it was a 1943 Willys MB that visited the Toledo grounds where it had been built exactly 70 years ago to the day.
Of course, the actual building where the MBs rolled off the assembly line before heading to Europe for World War II no longer exists, but that didn't stop Italian owner Vittorio Argento from having the vehicle shipped to the US to make its trek back to its birth place. According to Chrysler, Argento's MB is still 95-percent original and it drove 1,000 miles from New Jersey to Toledo.
The whole adventure was chronicled on a blog aptly named A Jeep Comes Home. Scroll down for a brief video from Chrysler and for some photos of the Toledo visit and be sure to read more at Argento's blog.
Jeep dealer buries WWII Willys GP in showroom floor
Tue, 04 Nov 2014The Willys MB Jeep earned icon status during World War II thanks to its ruggedness, simplicity and go-anywhere ability. Following the war, it didn't take long for the handy vehicles to be scooped up by the public, and a brand slowly grew around the vehicles that has continued to thrive. Fast-forward to present day, where it's not uncommon for auto dealers to try to grab some of the magic of yesteryear by displaying classic models to connect customers with their brands' proud histories. Now, a Canadian Chrysler Group dealer is taking that notion to the extreme by actually making a vintage WWII Jeep part of its foundation.
Bay King Chrysler in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, recently completed its new showroom, and the franchise really wanted to show its dedication to the Jeep brand. As dealer principal Jamie Richter tells Autoblog, the inspiration for the Jeep installation came from his brother, who became fascinated with a home that had a glass floor looking down into its wine cellar. The company already had the 1943 Willys MB to display, but it had originally planned to build a jungle gym around it for customers' kids. Now, the classic is literally in the floor as customers enter. Richter tells Autoblog that customer reaction so far has been "fantastic."
It's certainly a novel way to bring people into the showroom, and seemingly a nice nod not only to Jeep, but to the men and women who served in the war. If you want to see more about how the Jeep was actually installed and what it looks like, check out this video.
