1978 Yellow Jeep Cj7 304cc V8 on 2040-cars
Imperial Beach, California, United States

So your looking for a Jeep. What can I tell you about mine so you buy it? Well, for one are you worth selling to? Just by looking at the pictures you already know if this is something you can handle. For most people I would say no, you probably can't handle this. Stop reading now! Go back to your creature comforts, your heated seats, and your Onstar. This is not for you.
This is a Jeep for the man with soul. The man that thinks imports should be deports and American should be the standard in America. This is American! In fact the motor is a AMC 304 V8. (American Motor Corporation). Can't be more American then that. If your afraid of some rust this is probably not for you. This Jeep has been rolling through rain sleet sand mud and snow since 1978 and it still rolls on her 33" commuter crushers like a champ. If you plan on only using it to go to the local Starbucks save yourself the grief from me telling you to go kick rocks. This isn't the vehicle to put Weathertec floor mats in. What are you keeping clean? Dirty is the concern of weaker men. This baby is Rhino lined through out the cab with drain holes in the floor. Mud or blood. Just wash it out. When your bleeding blasting through some remote Baja mountains being chased by bandits because you just slept with the local drug lords daughter you haven't got time to kick the dirt off your heels before getting in. Drive through the carwash with the top down later preferably in the US so Montezuma stays in Mexico. I digress. I think you get the point. Soul my friends. Save the fear for when your in bumper to bumper traffic in your Prius going to your cubical just to do it again the next day. Now to give you the bad news so I don't have to answer all the questions about whats wrong with her. Nothing! I like her just the way she is. But for those who think a 1978 CJ7 should be perfect because its been sitting in a vacuum for the last 35 years, here you go. I don't want to sell to you anyway. She has a dent in the hood because at 50 miles a hour the hood flew up and smacked me in the face from wind. Note to self double check the latches after changing the oil. Gauges need replacing. I ride with a spare gas can anyway. They don't have Exxon out on the trail. The wiper motor needs replacing. Just put the windshield down and wear some googles and stop being fufu. You want her to respect you in the morning don't you. She is sold as is. There will be no: "I didn't know about this or that." You got questions I got answers. Well thats about it. If you've got soul or feel you need some more buy my Jeep. The price is fair. Now its time to change your life so bid like you got a pair!

Chrysler defies NHTSA, says it won't recall 2.7M Jeep Grand Cherokee, Liberty models
Wed, 05 Jun 2013Facing a possible recall totaling around 2.7 million of its most popular SUVs, Chrysler remains insistent that the 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty are safe vehicles. This comes on the heels of a recall request from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for these two models due to fuel tanks mounted behind the rear axle, which could possibly be ruptured during severe rear-end collisions, leading to an increased risk of fire. In response to the allegations, Chrysler says that it does not agree with NHTSA nor does it plan on recalling either vehicle.
Chrysler said both SUVs "met and exceeded" the requirements for fuel-system integrity, and cooperated fully with NHTSA since the investigation was opened in 2010. While 15 deaths and 46 injuries have been reported from fires caused by rear-end collisions on these models, Chrysler is claiming that the vast majority of incidents cited by NHTSA were "high-energy crashes," including one where a stopped Grand Cherokee was rear-ended by a tractor trailer going 65 miles per hour.
The automaker wraps up by saying "NHTSA seems to be holding Chrysler Group to a new standard for fuel tank integrity that does not exist now and did not exist when the Jeep vehicles were manufactured." Scroll down for Chrysler's official response to NHTSA, but we're pretty sure this isn't the last we've heard on this issue.
Chrysler taking big risk snubbing NHTSA
Wed, 05 Jun 2013Maker 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.
Jeep Wrangler's shift to aluminum could see production leave Toledo
Mon, 06 Oct 2014The Jeep Wrangler may be a timeless design, but sooner or later, time will run out and Chrysler will have to replace it with a newer model more friendly towards the earth it's designed to traverse. That will, it seems, mean a shift to aluminum construction (whether just for the body or for the entire structure) - but what will that mean for the Wrangler's long-time home of Toledo, OH?
According to the latest pronouncements from Fiat Chrysler chief Sergio Marchionne, the shift to an aluminum Wrangler would likely mean moving production out of Toledo. "If the solution is aluminum," Marchionne told Automotive News, "then I think unfortunately Toledo is the wrong place, the wrong setup to try and build a Wrangler, because it requires a complete reconfiguring of the assets that would be cost-prohibitive."
Marchionne also indicated that, were Wrangler production to move elsewhere, it would find another line to take its place in Ohio. "One of the thing that we are dealing with now is what else we do with Toledo that fulfills our commitment to the city and to Ohio. I don't have a doubt that there will be zero impact on head count and employment levels and anything else." Jeep has built the Wrangler in Toledo since World War II, with the exception of six years starting in 1986 when it was built in Brampton, Ontario. The complex dates back to 1910 and currently produces the Wrangler and Cherokee. Past products have included the Wagoneer and Commanche as well as the Dodge Dakota and Nitro.
