This is a rust and rot-free CJ7 that came from Arizona and has a clear Arizona Title. I bought it knowing that I was going to bring it back to original however I am sidetracked by a '78 Golden Eagle project. This jeep is rock solid and drives great. The engine has been replaced with a newer 4.2 liter fuel injected engine (not the 4.0 liter). The jeep starts on the first turn of the key each and every time and absolutely NO idling issues. It drives great down the highway at 70 mph and doesn't wander or wobble at all. The 4-speed transmission and clutch shift perfectly and the jeep stops on a dime. The brakes as well as the exhaust have been replaced recently and it does appear to be legal for anyone interested in emission restricted states. The catalytic converter are in place and it does have the original components for smog control under the hood. Keep in mind that Michigan does not have mandatory testing so I can't say for certain that it will pass emissions, but as I stated, all of the components appear to be intact and the jeep does not seem to run rich or lean. 4x4 works fine but I've not had it out in the sand dunes or mudding - I simply don't use my jeeps that way. The jeep does not have power steering, however I do have the gearbox as well as the pump if you'd like to convert it. Those items can be negotiated in the selling price however are not included in the auction.
The exterior is in great shape. I had it painted recently however I instructed the shop to not use any filler. You can still see the factory rivet marks and the natural "waves" that the jeep had when it was born. There were just too many stone pops/chips for me to put a new decal package over it so I had it painted. The paint is not show quality, however it looks great. I tend to be a little picky on my jeeps so I may be more critical than others. The doors were painted as well as and have all new seals. The soft-top is almost new and I actually hate to get rid of it as I was planning on saving it for my next project. Same story with the wheels. I had painted a set of wagon wheels and found some trim rings and center caps but the chrome ones look too good to take off.
The interior is in great condition as well. There are a few things a purist would notice but doesn't affect the jeep. The dash is cut for the stereo, the steering column is out of a YJ (one of the plastic rings is cracked), there is a toggle switch on the dash for the fuel pump (I haven't taken the time to wire the electric fuel pump to the ignition - it was this way when I got it), I recovered the seats with aftermarket, leather skins (although they look really good), the rear seat is aftermarket, the center console is missing the lock, and the carpet I installed is out of a YJ so some of the holes are a little larger around the seat belt openings. Other than that, the jeep shows extremely well. The previous owner also painted in the bedliner material on the inside, which I didn't know before I purchased it site-unseen. For that reason, I did take a bunch of pictures of the underside so you can see that the pans are not rusted out in the least bit.
The rockers are solid. As you can see from the underside, the rocker mouldings have no rust on the attachment lip. There is no rust near the rear frame or tailgate welds either. This jeep is Solid! Because I have a bunch of parts and wouldn't mind keeping some of the parts off the jeep, I'm willing to negotiate a few items if you'd like to get the reserve lowered:
Top: Have a white-hard top as well as an original white whitco - snap top with all of the doors and hardware. I'd be willing to drop for the hardtop swap or a few more bucks for the original
Wheels: I have a set of four painted, black wagon wheels with chrome trim rings and center caps that would like nice as well.
Center Console: If you are planning on replacing this one - I'll take it out and drop a few bucks
Power Steering: I can include the p/s pump as well as the gearbox for a few bucks (you install it)
Lastly, the odometer wasn't working so it was swapped out with one that was. The gauges, including the gas gauge, do work now - however I don't know the true mileage of the jeep. Being from Arizona, I do have the emissions test, which it passed easily in 2012. I have made no modifications to the engine other than a tune up (plugs, wires, oil, etc) so there should be no changes. Being a used vehicle though, I cannot guarantee that it will pass. All I can tell you is that it does not run rich or lean, has no cold issues like the carter BBD carbs had, no rod noises or engine knocks - so I can't imagine there would be an emission problem if you live in a state that requires it.
I don't have any problem shipping however I'm in need of space so it would have to be within a reasonable timeframe. I've sold jeeps and mustangs to Australia, South Africa, New Zeeland, Norway, and Canada - to name a few. If you have any questions or want more pictures, please don't hesitate to ask however I do request that you respect my time and refrain from tire-kicking. Thanks for looking and GodBless!

In our First Drive article on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee we said, "our informal and thoroughly unscientific opinion is they're going to sell tons of them. Why? Because it is very good." So far, it appears the public concurs. Of course, it's very early - the new compact utility has logged just one month of confirmed sales, but Larry Vellequette at Automotive News says dealers have told him that the second month of sales will be even better, a message that mirrors what we've heard from company execs.
In its first, severely truncated month on sale, the Cherokee sold 579 units. With all of November to play with, though, dealers moved 10,169 of them - compared to 11,753 Wranglers and 14,798 Grand Cherokees. That helped propel Jeep to a 30-percent year-on-year improvement for the month, Chrysler Group to a 16-percent improvement and the group's 44th consecutive month of sales growth, exceeding analyst expectations in posting its best November numbers since 2007.
If it can just keep replicating the its first month of sales, the finalist in North American Truck of the Year voting will smoke the trade done by the outgoing Liberty, which didn't break 7,900 units in a month in the last four years of its life (and normally didn't get close to even that). In March this year, Chrysler said it wants to build 250,000 Cherokees in its Toledo assembly plant for global sales. It's early yet, but with second-month sales quoted as being as "strong as death," the bookies might be resetting the odds.

Chrysler 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.

Challengers come and challengers go, but the Jeep Wrangler continues to push forward even after vehicles like the Toyota FJ Cruiser and the entire Hummer brand have been shut down. Now GMC reportedly wants to take a stab at the quintessential Jeep, as well.
The news comes directly from Buick-GMC vice president Duncan Aldred, speaking with our compatriots over at Edmunds. Although Aldred said there are no plans currently on the table to expand GMC's lineup beyond the current range, "there is plenty of room everywhere in the hierarchy."
That could include a rival to the Wrangler, as well as a flagship luxury SUV positioned above the current Yukon Denali (pictured above). Just when (or for that matter, if) such models might come into fruition remains a big question mark, but it's certainly interesting to see what GM's dedicated truck brand has on the drawing board.
