1985 Jeep Cj7 W/ Rebuilt 305 Chevy And Turbo 350 Automatic on 2040-cars
Rockwall, Texas, United States
|
When I was looking for a nice CJ - I spent MONTHS searching and drove 100's of miles to see nothing but rust / bondo / oil leaks and vehicles that couldn't stay on the road if it was lined with rails. I purchased this 1985 CJ 7 about a year ago from an individual who had just converted it over to a V-8 Chevy / Auto transmission - all rebuilt items. It was about 95% complete, upon my purchase I immediately took it to a friend of mines Hot Rod shop where he went thru it completely and buttoned up all the "loose ends". He replaced a few gaskets, added a new steering box, flywheel cover, repaired wiring, blinkers, etc. I wanted this Jeep to be safe and road ready for anyone to drive it. Included in this Jeep is a Rebuilt Chevy 305 with a Turbo 350 automatic transmission. Twin stick transfer case that allows Hi / Low in 4wd / 2wd front / 2wd rear. 6" lift. 35" BFG's. Full size spare on swing-out mount. Full soft top with no rips / tears and a new bikini top. Has 2 sets of doors - one soft and another 1/2 steel that I fabricated this past winter. Edelbrock 4 barrel carb, intake, valve covers and chrome headers. All new dual exhaust that has an awesome sound. Runs straight and tight at 75 mph down the highway. Rhino lined tub with full carpet. Heater core installed and has heat AND defrost - Very rare to get this in a Chevy V-8 conversion. Body is rust free and straight. After purchasing, I added all new suspension, steering box, suspension bushings, seat covers, fuel system filter, radio, 4 speakers, front windshield and custom built Stinger front bumper. Speedo doesn't work correctly with the oversize tires, so I added an iPhone mount to the dash and use a GPS app - works perfect. Odometer shows 120K, but I've driven it less than 2,000 since purchase / rebuild. Selling because I now want to get a new Rubicon 4 door, vehicle is available to see in person by appointment in Rockwall Texas - just East of the DFW metroplex off of Interstate 30. I've included as many pictures as I could add - THERE WILL BE NO UNFORSEEN SURPRISES IF YOU DECIDE TO PURCHASE OR REVIEW THIS JEEP! It is as nice in person ans it looks in pictures - guaranteed! Thank you for looking - ask any questions - bid with confidence |

AEV Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon
Fri, 28 Feb 2014
After their rented 2007 Hummer H3 failed them during the brutal Rallye Aicha des Gazelles in Morocco, Amy Lerner and her sister Tricia Reina were on a quest to find the most capable production off-roader for their next competition - they chose a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. Their next mission was to find a company with the competence to configure it to win. After poring over Internet forums and perusing countless magazines for an outfitter who could meet their demanding requirements, they sent their bright orange JK ("Crush" is the official color) to American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) for some modifications.
The Michigan-based team at AEV kept the Jeep's 3.6-liter V6 and automatic transmission stock, but replaced the hood with a tall AEV Heat Reduction Hood and added an AEV Snorkel Kit for water crossings (it serves double-duty as its raised height helps to keep the air intake out of the kicked-up dust on the trail). Front and rear off-road bumpers were bolted in place, and AEV skid plates were added to provide additional undercarriage protection. A pair of IPF-900 off-road lights improve visibility, while a 10.2-gallon AEV Fuel Caddy (located behind the exterior spare) added some range. The suspension was upgraded with a 3.5-inch lift kit with Bilstein remote reservoir shocks, and 35-inch Falken Wildpeak A/T tires (LT285/70R17) were mounted at all four corners on AEV's beadlock wheels.
25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango SUVs recalled over brake feel
Mon, 10 Mar 2014Chrysler has announced that it is recalling over 25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from several markets over concerns about brake feel under hard braking. The affected models are from the 2012 and 2013 model years, although the actual dates of production aren't available. 18,700 are in the US, while 825 are in Canada, 530 are in Mexico and a further 5,200 outside of North America.
According to a statement, Chrysler was informed of the issue by a component supplier for the Ready Alert Braking system, which primes the brakes in anticipation of an emergency stop. A component in the system was restricting the flow of brake fluid too much.
As Chrysler is quick to point out, the way the brakes functioned was in compliance with regulations and there are no reported cases of drivers losing braking power. Instead, the issue rests with what Chrysler calls a pedal feel that "was not consistent with customer expectations." So it would seem Chrysler is being proactive and fixing a problem not because there's a legal issue at work, but simply because it doesn't feel the way the manufacturer wants it to. Well done.
Jeep Cherokee appears in Chrysler's second Super Bowl spot
Mon, 03 Feb 2014The second of three spots produced by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles for this year's Super Bowl featured the all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee. Aired during the game's half time show, the minute-long ad didn't strike as anything new or innovative from an automaker with a reputation for above average Super Bowl spots, but it did show the controversially styled Cherokee in the best light possible.
