OK, up for sale is my CJ-7 project.
I bought this jeep about 2 years ago and drove it home, which means drive train is in good condition. ( Original drive train ) Original plan was to fully restore the jeep to a brand new shape. I started by ripping everything on the body that was rusted which was pretty much everything but the engine compartment ( see pics ) the frame was very solid and in great shape so i only had to patch a couple of spots and replace the rear cross member by a new one ( purchased at quadratec.com ) Once stripped down, i replaced ALL the fuel lines and MOST brake lines, also replaced the fuel pump and all respective filters. I proceeded to rhino line the frame. And finally i purchased every single panel necessary to put together a brand new metal tub. Early this spring i started welding the rear of the tub together ( please see pics ) and that's where i stopped.... At this point in my life i don't have the funds or the time to complete the project and honestly i need the room to work in my other jeep ( yes, i do own other jeeps, it is an addiction ;) so i am selling this project as it is for somebody to complete , is early enough in the project that you can still go your own way as far as lift and color you choose. The jeep is a great project to take over , i tried including everything that it comes with it in the picture but i couldn't.... so here it is .... The jeep as you see it in the pictures. ( original drive train in it ) All the parts that you can see behind the jeep as , the rear of the tub already welded and put together , the front floor panels , all front side panels. Set of full doors in good working condition , will of course need painting. Original rear tail gate Original fronts and rear seats Roll bar I also have a spare on the tire carrier ( same size as the tires it sits on) 235x75 r15 with about 50% tread left on all of them. I have a NEW 2" body lift kit that i also was planning to put on the jeep. The jeep has a clear title I also have the hard top that came with the jeep, the back window is ruined but if replaced the top could still be used. I spent just under $1000 in parts alone, mostly the panels in order to build a new tub and paid $700 for the jeep when i bought it , so i will start my auction at $1,700 If you have any questions about the jeep do not hesitate on writing me. The description of the jeep is to the best of my knowledge , i am by no means a professional mechanic or car restorer but i have been at this jeep hobby for a while and know my way around them. Look at my excellent positive feedback and bid with confidence. Please only serious bidders I will require a $500 deposit within 24 hours of the auction closing. Thank you for looking and happy bidding !!! |

Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango to lose color options temporarily
Wed, 19 Nov 2014In the market for a Jeep Grand Cherokee or Dodge Durango? Well, if you fancy a more expressive color for your new SUV, you'd better get your order in, or plan on waiting until well into 2015.
The SUVs will be limited to just four monochromatic shades - black, white, silver and gray - until at least February, thanks to an upgrade to the paint shop at the two vehicles' Jefferson North factory. For the Grand Cherokee, that means it's losing more than half its color palette while the Durango is dropping two-thirds of its color catalog.
The loss of colors is inconvenient, but the upgrade will have a slightly bigger effect on the overall supply of SUVs, as Chrysler will need to end its relentless build pace at the factory for a three-week shutdown starting on December 22. The good news for fans of the SUVs is that once the work is completed, we should see a gradual expansion of the color palettes for both the Durango and Grand Cherokee, beyond even what's offered now.
NHTSA upgrading Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango headliner fire probe
Wed, 15 Jan 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation into headliner fires experienced by a small number of Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango owners has been upgraded to an engineering analysis, the step before the initiation of a recall. In August last year the investigation began with 146,000 Grand Cherokees from 2012 after three complaints were received, but a report on Edmunds says it has been expanded to include 593,299 vehicles covering the 2011-2013 model years for the Jeep and the Dodge Durango, which uses the same headliner assembly, because of possibly 52 incidents of fire.
In some of those incidents drivers have reported a burning odor, smoke or open flames that were contained to the headliner or migrated to another area of the passenger compartment. The culprit has apparently been found: NHTSA blaming an electrical short in the sun visor vanity light wiring, which is routed under the headliner and held in place by three screws. Chrysler began its own probe into the issue when it was first reported and is still looking into the situation while, "fully supporting the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's investigation."
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles recalls nearly 750k vehicles in two campaigns
Thu, 16 Oct 2014Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is recalling a total of 747,817 vehicles in the US in two separate campaigns recently added to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration database.
The first one covers about 434,581 units of the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Challenger, Durango, and Jeep Grand Cherokee from the 2011-2014 model years with electric hydraulic power steering, the 3.6-liter V6 engine and a 160 amp alternator, according to FCA. In the affected vehicles, it's possible for the alternator to fail without warning and possibly cause the car to stall. According to the documentation submitted to NHTSA, the automaker began investigating the problem in August 2014 and has found possible evidence of one crash caused by the failures but no known injuries.
Customers will begin receiving notification about the recall next month, and obviously the repairs will be done at no cost to them.
