1984 Jeep CJ7 Laredo - 126,900 miles

1984 Jeep CJ7 Laredo is a beautiful classic and original rust free California Jeep.  It spent the last 20 years in the desert of California before I brought it back with me to Colorado in February.  There is over $20k in aftermarket upgrades (All of the upgrades were completed at or after 100k miles).  The engine is incredible and has a lot of power.  I can easily travel 70mph driving over the mountain passes here in Colorado comfortably.  Not only does it have a great power band with the fuel injected 350v8 and the 700R4 overdrive auto transmission, it is a synch driving in town, on the highway and offroading.  When driving 70mph on the highway, the rpm's are only 2000.  The custom Rear Dana 60 Differential can withstand the power of the V8 all day long!  It is also set up perfectly to conquer the most difficult terrain possible.  I would not be afraid to drive this Jeep anywhere.

Engine:
Rebuilt 1990 Chevrolet 350 5.7L V8 with Throttle Body Injection..  The Jeep runs incredible, sounds fantastic and it doesn't matter if it is cold or hot outside it fires right up thanks to it being fuel injected.  It runs great, is super peppy and doesn't leak any fluids.  I recently upgraded the radiator with an aluminum unit and relocated the overflow radiator tank closer.

Transmission/Transfer Case:
700R4 Automatic Transmission with overdrive is excellent.  It shifts great, without play, grinding, slipping or crunching.  It has a rachet shifter on it that makes shifting super easy.  The transfer case is a Dana 300.  It easily goes into gear high and low range 4wheel drive.  I do notice a small drip from the transmission and transfer case after driving it the following day.

Drivetrain/suspension:
The Jeep drives excellent with the lift.  The front sway bar has disconnects which is great for off road driving.  Each leaf spring has U bolt skid plates so you will never have to worry about breaking a u bolt.  There aren't any loud clunks or noises, it is very smooth.  The drivetrain is perfectly set up with ARB Air locking differentials, 4.11 gears and chromoly shafts.  The power steering is super sensitive and is very easy to steer.  The power brake booster was replaced last week with a Navajo double diaphragm and a Corvette master cylinder.  The brakes are super sensitive and stop the jeep easily.

Interior Controls/Switches:
Everything in the interior works great except the factory tach and intermittently the windshield wipers.  There is an aftermarket tach on the steering column that works great.  The sony CD player/radio is in the center console.  There are front dash speakers and rear 6x9s by the roll bar.  The Tuffy console adds security however I do not have the key for it.  The fuel, speedometer, heater odometer, blinkers, horn, lights etc all work as well.  

Paint/Body/Rust:
The paint is the original Black and original Laredo Striping.  The paint is beautiful and very reflective, shiny and lots of luster but still 30 years old and has minor blemishes.  The rear fender flares are a custom fit and from a Jeep Wrangler YJ.  The Jeep is rust free except for some minor surface rust on the windshield frame hinges.  It also has some rock chips on the windshield frame.  The frame is rust free and has never been repaired.  Behind the passenger rear flare there is some cracking, looks like there was a little body work completed at one time but unsure when exactly.  

Interior:
The interior is nice, the front captains chairs are aftermarket black leather and are extremely comfortable.  There is no rear seat or carpet.  The inside of the tub has been bed lined.  The dash pad does not have any cuts and lastly.

Soft Top/Doors:
The black soft top is in excellent condition and a bestop sun rider.  The doors do not have any rust, the windows roll up and down very easily and the locks work from the inside.  Unfortunately I do not have a key for the doors.  The doors both have a couple deep scratches and misc light scratches, chips and the drivers side has a little defect. The wing windows open and close with ease and the seal tight.  


Tires/Wheels:
(5) brand new last week 33x12.50x15 BFG KM2 Mud Terrain tires.  The wheels are from an 1981 CJ7 Laredo and 15x8 in excellent condition.  The clear coat was removed and they shine beautifully!  I have the original 15x7 chromed and caps and can swap them out if you want or will include them with the buy it now.

Overall:
This is a beautiful Jeep and ready to go and a classic that is turn key and ready to go.  It would make the perfect weekend warrior, beach runner or mountain adventurer.   The CJ7 is used and 30 years old, it may have blemishes, scratches, nicks etc that I didn't capture on my camera.  Overall the condition is beautiful!  I do my best to illustrate the condition, I may have missed something so be sure to ask all questions you have prior to bidding or winning the Jeep.  The Jeep is being sold as is, where is, without warranty or guarantees.  I am not required for your state emission or safety inspections including Colorado.

Shipping:
If you are out of state and need to have this Jeep shipped, call M&E Auto Transport #606-354-3643.  Michael is great to work with and offers competitive pricing, quick pickup and delivery.  He helped me ship this Jeep back to Colorado from California in February. 

Conclusion:
A $500 non refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of the conclusion of the auction via paypal.  All sales are final.  The final payment must be received within 7 days of auction end time.  Payment options include cash upon pickup, Electronic Bank Transfer or Wire Transfer.  I have sold multiple cars on ebay and can provide references if necessary.  I reserve the right to remove the auction at anytime as this Jeep is listed for sale locally as well.

If you have any questions or would like to know anything more or make an offer feel free to calling or texting.  #720-295-3372

Chrysler adding 200 jobs at Ohio Jeep Wrangler plant

Fri, 15 Mar 2013

Chrysler is betting that the Jeep Wrangler will continue its strong sales surge as it continues to push the legendary brand out across the globe. The Auburn Hills automaker is reportedly adding 200 workers at the Toledo, Ohio plant that builds the Wrangler. What's more, those new hires will be at their posts quickly - they'll be on the job by April 1. Of those 200 workers, 130 employees will be there to relieve those who need breaks.
Why do they need so many relief workers? The Toledo Jeep Complex is currently working at a torrid pace with two ten-hour shifts. A third shift has been ruled out for the moment because of a production botttleneck - the plant's paint shop is already maxed out. According to Reuters, Wrangler production in 2012 cleared 200,000 units, and US sales were up by 16 percent.
Another part of the Toledo plant is presently down as Chrysler retools the line to build Jeep's divisively styled Liberty replacement, the Cherokee (seen in our gallery below). Production for the new model is scheduled to begin toward the end of May.

NHTSA boss Strickland weighs in on Jeep recall fracas

Sat, 15 Jun 2013

Adding yet another chapter to the ongoing Jeep recall story, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) head David Strickland has gone on record to defend the government's request that Chrysler recall 2.7 million out-of-production Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Liberty vehicles after the agency investigated fiery rear-end collisions that have reportedly killed at least 51 people over the years. In statements made to The Detroit News, Strickland said, "We felt very strongly that the process that we undertook and the findings that we made and ... we made the decision to issue a recall request. We do not take that very lightly." The top US auto safety regulator stopped short of telling owners to park their cars until the automaker takes action. "They can make their own risk assessment and their own choices," he said.
Chrysler does not intend to recall the models, insisting the "vehicles met and exceeded all applicable requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, including FMVSS 301, pertaining to fuel-system integrity" when they were manufactured and sold. "The company does not agree with NHTSA's conclusions and does not intend to recall the vehicles cited in the investigation. The subject vehicles are safe and are not defective," Chrysler announced last week in a statement. "We believe NHTSA's initial conclusions are based on an incomplete analysis of the underlying data, and we are committed to continue working with the agency to resolve this disagreement."
Legally, Chrysler has until June 18 to formally respond to NHTSA's request. If the automaker does not take action, NHTSA is expected to issue a formal finding and seek a recall.

2014 Jeep Cherokee musters 22 MPG city, 31 highway

Thu, 05 Sep 2013

Production and media drive delays included, there has been no lack of press surrounding the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. With the most recent delay reportedly due to powertrain calibrations, we've been waiting to see how the Cherokee's fuel economy looks against the highly competitive compact CUV segment. Thanks to the EPA, we now know the fuel economy figures for the newest member of the Jeep family.
Arguably, the Cherokee has the most modern powertrain in its class with an updated base engine, all-new V6 and all-new nine-speed automatic transmission, but its fuel economy figures are simply on par for the segment. Still nothing to scoff at, though. According to fueleconomy.gov, front-wheel-drive Cherokee models with the base four-cylinder mill will top out the lineup with 22 miles per gallon in the city and 31 mpg on the highway; opting for four-wheel drive with this engine drops the figures to 21 city and 28 highway. Get even crazier with the option list, and the new 3.2-liter Pentastar V6 will get you 19 mpg city and 28 mpg highway in two-wheel-drive form or 19 city and 27 highway for 4WD.
If you're wondering how that stacks up among compact CUVs, head on over to Automobile Magazine for a full fuel economy breakdown for the segment. The controversially styled crossover hits dealers this month, and we'll be driving it in just a couple of weeks.
