1985 Jeep CJ7 – Heavily modified for the ultimate trail rig This Jeep went through a complete frame-up build with over $40,000 invested. The intent was to build a stout rock crawler that not only can run the trails such as Hammers, Moab, Dusy or Rubicon with ease, but also be driven home from the trail. I have had this Jeep for over 18 years and it has been an incredible vehicle that has taken the family on amazing trips. It’s been in a number of magazines over the years and was featured on the cover of JP Magazine. Specs are below - 1985 CJ7 (VIN:
1JCCF87E9FT079833) Engine: 1995 4.0 High Output out of a Grand Cherokee Transmission: New Process 435 4-speed with granny gear. A
custom tube cross member was fabricated to maximize strength, protection, and
ground clearance. Transfercase: Dana 300
with Tera Low 4:1, Curry twin shifters, and Dana-20 yokes Crawl Ratio: 130:1 Axles and wheels Rear Axle: Custom made Dynatrac Dana 60 made specifically for this Jeep and is stuffed with 4.88 gears and a Detroit Locker. Four X Doctor Dif Guard provides extra protection. Front Axle: Custom made Dynatrac Dana 44 with 4.88 and a Detroit Locker. The shafts are custom Moser Alloy Shafts with CTM U-Joints for superior strength; Chromalloy Tie rod with 1-ton ends flipped on top of the knuckles completes the front axle. Four X Doctor Dif Guard provides extra protection. Wheels: (5) Weld Aluminum 15X10 modified by OMF for the Beadlocks. IROK 36X13.5 (Bias Ply) Suspension The springs are custom made by National Spring. In order for National Spring to make them, I gave 3 weights of the Jeep, (1) front weight, (2) rear weight, and (3) total weight of the Jeep. Because the springs are made specifically for the jeep; the goal of maximum articulation, ride height along with a smooth ride were all reached. Front Springs - Shackle reversal for improved ride and the springs are mounted on top of the axle. In addition, the springs are 10.5"-longer then stock for improved articulation and ride quality. Lastly, the front axle was moved forward 3” to increase the overall wheelbase of the Jeep. Rear Springs – Springs are 1.5” longer for improved ride/articulation and are mounted on top of the axle for maximum ground clearance. The longer springs allowed room to move the axle back 1.5” to further increase the wheelbase. Because the axle was moved back, a custom 23-Gallon Aero Tank was fabricated. The tank has a notch to give the Dynatrac Dana 60 housing room during extreme articulation to not hit the gas tank. In addition, the Aero gas tank has a reinforced bottom to take abuse. Lastly, to keep axle wrap under control, a Sam’s HD Traction bar was installed and mounted to a custom heavy duty cross member. Wheelbase: Front Axel moved forward 3”, rear moved back 1.5” Frame: Front half of the frame is completely boxed with 0.25 plate. This was accomplished by removing the engine, plating the frame, and reinstalling the engine to ensure proper plate coverage Miscellaneous: On Board Air – I installed a York AC Compressor that serves as the air compressor. The sidebars serve double duty - protection and air storage tanks. Because of the ample air storage, the jeep can run air tools such as grinders, cut off wheels and such. On Board Welder – A secondary dedicated 160 AMP alternator was installed to power the welder separate from the one used for charging the battery, meaning the Jeep has two alternators. In addition, I installed a “control box” to accept the welding leads (stinger and ground). A Rubicon Express hand throttle controls the RPM of the engine (which controls the amperage to the stinger) Full Cage by Four X Doctor. The front seats are tied into cage along with two cross bars, one just above the dash and another just behind the front seats to provide maximum protection for occupants and mounting points for the four point racing harness. Flexalite Aluminum radiator with electric fan. A switch in side the cab allows for turning the fan on and off. This is a great feature for water crossings or wanting the engine to heat up faster in cold climates. Rear tire carrier holds a full size spare tire and is equipped with a Hilift jack. IN addition, the HAM radio antenna is mounted to the carrier. Underbody rock lights for night runs on the trail. The entire ground area is lit up during night runs. Warn HS9500i BesTop soft top with YJ half doors Custom 26-Gallon Aero Tank notched for clearance for the D60 housing VDO Gauges Rubicon Express Hand Throttle Four-X Doc. Diff guards Dual battery tray Flowmaster muffler TJ Fender Flares High Back adjustable seats 5 point racing seat belts 1” body lift Inside tub completely covered with Durabak for easy cleaning and durability CB Ham Radio Many more mods.

Chrysler expecting up to 200,000 9-speed transmissions for 3 models this year
Tue, 22 Jan 2013Striving for improved fuel economy, we already knew that Chrysler will begin using a nine-speed automatic transmission in some of its new products this year, but what we haven't known is that volume at which this gearbox will be used. According to Bloomberg, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has been quoted as saying that the automaker expects to sell close to 200,000 units equipped with this new transmission in 2013. Those gear-rich trannies will be spread out across three models, consisting of the redesigned Chrysler 200, the still-unnamed Jeep Liberty replacement and the Dodge Dart.
This transmission should play a pivotal role in making Chrysler vehicles more competitive in their respective segments. Just for comparison, one of the Dart's key competitors, the Toyota Corolla, still uses a four-speed automatic, and a previous report indicates that the next-generation 200 could get up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway, which is better than most non-hybrid midsize sedans on the market. Marchionne says that the new Jeep model is expected during the second quarter of this year, but there is no word as to when the new 200 or nine-speed Dart will debut, but clearly Dodge would like to have the transmission in its compact yesterday. As for that volume figure, it definitely doesn't seem out of reach since the Dart, Liberty and 200 combined for a total of more than 225,000 units in 2012.
How many more gears can we expect in future cars? Probably not many more, since the CEO of transmission-builder ZF, Stefan Sommer, previously stated that nine speeds was the "natural limit" for transmissions.
eBay Find of the Day: 1977 Jeep J20 time capsule
Tue, 08 Jan 2013Is it just us or has eBay really become, of late, a surprising time capsule of older, barely used automobiles? We've had the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT with 83 miles, the 2004 Ferrari Enzo with 175 miles, the 1987 Shelby Lancer with 22 miles, the 1989 Shelby Dakota with 23 miles - none of those four cars ever even registered - and the 1975 Cosworth Vega with 191 miles. You can add to that list a 1977 Jeep J20 - the kind of Jeep that enthusiasts point to when they beg the brand to make another pickup truck.
Listed on eBay by Masterpiece Classic Cars in Whiteland, Indiana, the Brandywine and Alpine White truck has used its 360-cubic-inch V8 paired with a three-speed automatic to go just 3,940 documented miles. Not surprisingly, it's listed in excellent condition and the images appear to bear that out. The three-quarter-ton pickup comes with its original manual and pamphlets, the Quadra-Track four-wheel drive probably just as ready to tackle the terrain as it was 36 years ago. If only it came with some John Denver to play in that AM/FM/8-Track stereo...
At the time of writing it hasn't garnered a single offer or bid, probably due to the above-top-dollar Buy It Now price of $34,900. Still, since this is likely the closest you'll get to a Jeep pickup for some time, we'd recommend admiring it in the gallery of photos above.
WWII Jeep 'found in crate' set to cross Greenwich auction block
Thu, 30 May 2013Fans of old military vehicles might want to pay extra close attention to the Greenwich Concours d'Elegance coming up this weekend. Crossing the Bonhams auction block on Sunday are a pair of seemingly flawless World War II Jeeps, which are both expected to fetch serious dollars.
Lot Number 305 at the auction is a 1945 Ford GPW Jeep that has been fully restored, which is expected to command between $35,000 and $45,000. Shortly after the Ford GPW, a potentially more interesting 1944 Willys MB (shown above) will be auctioned off, but Hemmings raises some red flags about this Jeep. First, it is claiming to have been "discovered in its original crate about 30 years ago," but there is no proof or documentation of any sort. Also, it is claiming to be all original, but it was given a paint job "shortly after it was discovered." Even with these questionable descriptions, this Willys could reach between $20,000 and $30,000. Head over to Bonhams' site and Hemmings for more information on both WW2-era Jeeps.
