1986 Jeep Cj7 Fully Restored Rolling Chassis With Mostly New Components on 2040-cars
Essex, Connecticut, United States
Offered for your consideration is a 1986 Rolling Chassis which has been painstakingly restored for my own Jeep CJ7 project which I haven't managed to complete. The frame and axles were completely stripped by a combination of sandblasting and wire wheel. Once stripped of all paint and corrosion, the body mounting brackets were all weld reinforced with large flat steel washers. A new rear cross member was installed. The remainder of the frame was in excellent condition. When the welding was completed and all welds were ground smooth, I carefully sanded all surfaces with a fine grit to prepare a smooth base for a quality paint job. The frame and axles were protected with POR-15 and then chassis coat black. Both finishes were sprayed on by a professional in a local body shop. Shock towers were removed, refinished and replaced. The axles are stock Jeep Dana 30 and AMC 20 and are fitted with new seals, new bearings, new calipers, new cylinders, new rotors front, new Drums rear, new stainless front rotor dust covers, all new brake hardware components, pads, speed bleeders, etc. New Russell stainless braided brake lines. All new stainless pre-bent brake and fuel lines. CJ Frame has a new M.O.R.E. Mountain Off Road Equipment front spring reversal kit installed with properly welded pivots as well as fully greaseable M.O.R.E. heavy duty shackles. Total suspension lift is 4.5 inches. The new parts installed on this chassis add up to $4300.00 not including the frame itself, the original axles, or the numerous man hours invested in this project. This is an incredible opportunity for someone interested in completing a restoration project. The most difficult part of the job has already been completed for you. The fuel tank skid plate sitting in the frame has already been sold and is not included in this listing. Likewise, I have included two photos of my tub for information only. It is not included in this listing. Please try to excuse all of the dust, shadows and reflections in the photos. This chassis is actually much nicer than it appears in the pictures. I also have many other new parts available as well as a fully restored and painted Wrangler tub, new painted fenders, new painted hood, BestTop Supertop, BestTop Seats, Borla Stainless Header and Cat Back Exhaust, AGR Super Pump and Super Box2, Kentrol Stainless, etc. Let me know your needs. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks, Rich 860-767-0729 |

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee pricing leaks out
Thu, 24 Jan 2013With our deep dive and auto show coverage of the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee revealed at the Detroit Auto Show, we brought you as much information as Chrysler would allow us to, but one thing we're still left in the dark about was the pricing. It would seem that Jeep Garage might have the answer for that. The Jeep enthusiast forum claims to have gotten its hands on the ordering and pricing breakdown for the updated Grand Cherokee, and while a Jeep representative has yet to get back to us as to the validity of the site's claim, these preliminary numbers look pretty kosher to us.
In base form, the two-wheel-drive Laredo will reportedly start at $28,795, which is a $1,100 increase over the 2013 model year, and the new Grand Cherokee Summit trim level starts at $47,995 for 4x2 models and $50,995 for the 4x4. Waiting for the new diesel engine? The torquey new 3.0-liter oil-burner will be a $4,500 option on Limited, Overland and Summit 4x4 models, but 4x2 pricing (and availability) are not known. As for the range-topping Grand Cherokee SRT (no longer called the SRT8), this added performance could run you an extra $2,700 with a new starting price of $62,995. More importantly, loaded to the gills with all available options, the 2014 Grand Cherokee SRT will top out at around $72,400 - or around $6,000 more than a fully loaded 2013 GC SRT8.
We'll let you know if the gang over at Jeep get back to us with any confirmation, but until then, head over to Jeep Garage to see the pricing details it has listed.
Chrysler recalling hundreds of thousands of Jeep Grand Cherokee and Commander SUVs
Wed, 23 Jul 2014The public might associated ignition switch recalls with General Motors - and with good cause - but that's not the only automaker calling its vehicles back in to fix that sort of issue.
Last month we reported that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was investigating an array of Chrysler Group vehicles for electrical-related safety issues. The administration and Chrysler subsequently issued a recall for 700,000 Dodge Journey crossovers, Dodge Grand Caravan minivans and Chrysler Town & Country minivans. But while the Jeeps that were also under investigation were not covered in that recall, they are being addressed in a separate one now.
Although Chrysler reports that it is only aware of a single accident stemming from this issue, it is "committing now to conduct a recall out of an abundance of caution." The recall affects the 2006-2007 Jeep Commander and 2005-2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee, of which it reports there are 792,300 on the road: 649,900 in the United States, 28,800 in Canada, 12,800 in Mexico and a further 100,800 outside of North America.
Jeepster name may be used for Fiat-based baby Jeep
Tue, 17 Dec 2013In 1948, Willys-Overland, the forbearers of Jeep, built a vehicle called the Jeepster. It was a funky little thing, designed as a mix of the more rugged Jeeps that came before with what was then a modern car, which arguably makes it the world's first crossover. The name was later revived from 1966 to 1972, which means for Jeep enthusiasts, it has some history.
Now, the modern Jeep brand may revive the Jeepster name for a new product, likely based on Fiat bones, that will slot in at the bottom of the brand's range underneath the soon-to-depart Compass and Patriot. The report comes from Australia's Drive, which cites a dealer source that has seen the vehicle.
That same dealer confirmed there is a link between the Jeepster and the rumored Fiat 500X, and that the former will be available in both front and all-wheel-drive variants. The source also claims both gas and diesel engines will be available, although as this is an Aussie site, we shouldn't take that to mean we'll get a diesel Jeepster in the US.
