1985 CJ-7 Laredo, 258 straight 6 (4.2L) with 4-speed manual, 122xxx miles
The entire body exterior was recently sprayed with truck bedliner by Line-X of Lancaster
Underbody and frame coated with black POR-15 rust-preventative paint, and I'm in the process of finishing the inside of the tub with the same paint
I've had this Jeep for 2+ years and put about 20K miles on it, and it's been the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. I'm selling it simply because I took a new job that requires an 80+ mile round trip every day, and if you've ever owned a Jeep, you understand why that isn't practical. The Jeep runs very smoothly, especially after having the carburetor professionally adjusted. Is idles at 500 RPM and gets around 20 MPG on the highway, which is excellent for this motor. The clutch and transmission have always been trouble-free and the 4x4 works great in the snow. It will be ready for off-roading with nothing more than beefier tires. I took it on as a small project that I'm finally satisfied with. That combined with my long commute has put me back in the market for a car, and has freed up time for me to take on a new project. And no, I don't want another project, so don't offer trades on anything that needs major work.
New parts include:
Original CJ fiberglass hard top
Bestop Supertop with tinted rear and side windows (installed)
Spare tan soft top, worn but still usable
Bestop bikini top included (ok so I guess that makes 4 tops, not 2...)
Warn front bumper and 6000lb Warn winch
Rugged Ridge 7" fender flares (recently installed)
Front fenders and hood (originals just starting to rust)
Mopar Performance valve cover
Hella headlights
good tread on tires
new wiper arms and blades
intake and exhaust manifold gasket, no exhaust leaks anywhere
carburetor recently cleaned and tweaked
K&N oil and air filters, always
Mojave 12,000 BTU heater
Pioneer receiver and speakers
More additions than I can remember at this point....
I'm not in any hurry to get rid of it. I'd certainly prefer to sell it for cash, $6000 OBO, but I would entertain trades for anything that gets reasonable gas mileage that I can use as a beater/daily driver IF you have cash to add. No bikes, no quads, nothing idiotic.

Jeep Wrangler won't get those cutout half doors after all
Tue, Mar 20 2018Let's just make one thing clear right off the bat: If you want to go off-roading and you want an open-air experience, a Jeep Wrangler is probably the right vehicle for you. Really, the Wrangler has always been about enjoying the outdoors with as little between its occupants and the great outdoors as legally possible. That's why the top comes off, the doors stay home, and the windshield folds flat. All that said, however, one cool bit of show-car desirability reportedly won't make into production. Those crazy cutout doors that caught so much attention at the Wrangler JL's debut at the L.A. Auto Show won't be available from Jeep. For now we're reporting this as a rumor, but the report from Jalopnik seems legit. We have a request for comment in to Jeep and will report with confirmation when we hear back. Apparently — and despite the fact that the doors appeared on otherwise production-spec Wrangler models shown to the media and public show goers — Jeep says the cutout half doors were "always a prototype." In the end, traditional half doors were deemed the best option for production. We don't really disagree with the notion that traditional half doors are a better idea than the "prototype" cutout doors, especially considering how much effort went into making the JL Wrangler's doors easier to remove than past versions. Plus, the aftermarket is rife with accessory doors and panels to choose from if the regular or optional half doors aren't to your liking. Still, we're sure some Wrangler JL intenders were looking forward to those unique donut-style metal doors, and so we must pass the disappointment in their direction.

FCA spends $1.5 billion to retool plant for Ram production
Tue, Jul 26 2016Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) is planning to invest $1.48 billion to retool its Sterling Heights Assembly plant in metro Detroit to build the next generation of the Ram 1500. The investment will allow the assembly plant to go from unibody to body-on-frame construction. FCA also confirmed that production of the Chrysler 200 will end in December in order for the plant to be altered. As previously reported, FCA is looking to move production of the 1500 from its current assembly plant in Warren to the Sterling Heights Assembly plant (both are in Michigan). While FCA has not released any official plans for the Warren Truck Assembly Plant, Automotive News reports that the plant will be retooled to manufacture the Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer SUVs. Earlier this month, FCA announced plans to invest $1.05 billion to retool the Jeep Wrangler factory. FCA's current investment plans are part of the automaker's push to put competitive products on the road.

2016 Jeep Wrangler Backcountry is Xtremely Purple
Wed, Nov 18 2015Assuming you're headed into so-called backcountry to do fun, outdoorsy kinds of things, chances are, you wouldn't want to use a bright purple vehicle with hot pink graphics as your means to get off the beaten path. Particularly if you're doing those outdoor activities in a winter wonderland, surrounded by nature's own cold, white blanket. Fortunately, then, Jeep is offering its new Wrangler Backcountry in four colors that aren't called Xtreme Purple: blue, black, white, and gray. No matter which hue you choose, though, you'll get the graphics package, so best to bear that in mind. Besides its searing shade of paint, the Wrangler Backcountry is based on the Sahara model and comes equipped as you'd expect for a real, useful, backwoods vehicle. An off-road-spec front bumper joins a matching powdercoated rear bumper, and its 17-inch wheels are borrowed from the hardcore Rubicon model. Buyers will have a choice of Rubicon Rock Rails or Sahara side steps to ease ingress and egress, and a hardtop in either black or, for an added price, a body-color. But hopefully not purple. The interior is updated for the Wrangler Backcountry with black and grey plastics and stitching, along with black leather and "sport mesh" seating surfaces. A nine-speaker Alpine sound system pumps up the jams, and Bluetooth comes standard. You can read more about the Jeep Wrangler Backcountry in the press release below, but first, check out our high-res image gallery of live photos from the show floor in LA. Oh, and if you do really like Xtreme Purple, you should know that the Wrangler Backcountry is the only Jeep you can get in this particular retina-assaulting hue. 2016 Jeep Wrangler Backcountry The Jeep Wrangler Backcountry boasts a winter capability theme and is based on the Wrangler Sahara model. It features a Backcountry decal on the front fender and rear quarter panel, a unique off-road front and rear powder coated bumper, 17-inch Rubicon wheels painted in Mid-gloss Black and a black fuel fill door. Wrangler Rubicon rock rails are standard on the Wrangler Backcountry, but Sahara side steps are also available at no additional charge. A black hard top is standard, but an optional body color hard top is also available. Wrangler Backcountry is available in five colors: Hydro Blue, Black, Bright White, Granite Crystal and Xtreme Purple. Backcountry is the only model in Wrangler's lineup available in Xtreme Purple.
