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

Supplier says Jeep Cherokee hack only affects FCA cars

Wed, Aug 5 2015

Harman doesn't think that drivers need to worry about any further hacks of its products. The company supplies FCA's Uconnect infotainment system where a software vulnerability is responsible for a 1.4-million vehicle recall. "This experimental hack is unique to Chrysler," Harman CEO Dinesh Paliwal said to Automotive News. "This does not exist, to our assessment, in any other vehicle." The reason that the company wouldn't be involved is that automakers aren't simply plugging in the existing infotainment systems into new vehicles. According to Paliwal, Harman supplies the unit, but FCA and other automakers are able to make additional modifications for their vehicles. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has also recently taken up the question of broader software vulnerabilities in Harman's products. On July 29, the agency began investigating the company to check for similarities between Uconnect and the infotainment systems supplied to other automakers. The Jeep hack became national news when two researchers were remotely able to take control of a Cherokee. The vulnerability in the cellular connection even gave control over the brakes. "Once people get in the car and get into the CAN bus, then you can start to mimic and mess up many, many things in the car," Paliwal said to Automotive News. Politicians immediately responded with legislation to create federal standards in hopes of protecting drivers better. NHTSA also opened an investigation to make sure the automaker's software update actually solved the problem. Related Video:

Jeep Wrangler 'Scrambler' truck spied again, our best look yet

Wed, Jan 10 2018

The upcoming Jeep Wrangler pickup truck has been a closely-guarded vehicle for a while, and as a result, quite a few photos have been from quite a distance and sometimes a tad blurry. These new shots are exciting because they're taken much closer and are very clear. Unfortunately, FCA is still being very careful with camouflage, and as a result, there isn't much to see here. We can definitely tell that from the C-pillar forward, the truck is practically identical to the 2018 Wrangler Unlimited, down to the rear doors that are angled to clear the Unlimited's rear wheels. That's not necessary here, so there's a large section of sheetmetal between the door crease and the fenders. We're curious how Chrysler will address that to keep it from looking awkward. We also get another look at the rear suspension. As we previously reported, the rear suspension seems to share more in common with the Ram 1500 than the Wrangler SUV. The shock placement and low anti-roll bar are among the details that are very Ram-esque. Like both the Ram and the Wrangler, the Scrambler will use coil springs at all four corners, and as with the Wrangler, the front axle is solid, too. Other details we expect for the Wrangler Scrambler pickup are the gas-powered V6 and turbo inline-four engines mated to either an eight-speed automatic or six-speed manual transmission. It will probably get the EcoDiesel V6, eventually, too. The truck will also probably have a convertible top based both on rumors and spy photos of an older prototype. We expect the Wrangler pickup will be revealed early next year in time for delivery later that year. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Chrysler Recalls Jeep SUVs For Ignition Switches

Wed, Jul 23 2014

The ignition switch defects that engulfed General Motors are now a rapidly growing problem at Chrysler. Chrysler said Tuesday it is recalling up to 792,300 older Jeep SUVs worldwide because the ignition switches could fall out of the "run" position, shutting off the engine and disabling air bags as well as power-assisted steering and braking. That's the same problem that has forced GM to recall more than 15 million cars over the last six months. Chrysler's recall covers 2005-2007 Grand Cherokees and 2006-2007 Commanders. The company said it is not sure exactly how many will be recalled, but said it will notify customers by mid-September. Chrysler said an outside force such as a driver's knee can knock switches out of the "run" position. Engineers are working on a fix. The Auburn Hills, Michigan-based automaker, now part of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV, said it knows of no related injuries and only one accident. But it said owners should keep clearance between their knees and keys until repairs are made. Chrysler has now recalled more than 1.7 million vehicles for ignition-switch problems. In June, the company added 696,000 minivans and SUVs to a 2011 recall to fix faulty ignition switches. Those recalls covered Dodge Journey SUVs and Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Caravan and Volkswagen Routan minivans - which Chrysler made for the German automaker - from the 2007 to 2010 model years. Tuesday's recall is the outgrowth of two investigations opened by U.S. safety regulators last month as part of a broader probe into ignition-switch and air-bag problems across the auto industry. The agency wouldn't say Tuesday whether its investigation could lead to recalls at other automakers. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in June that it was investigating Jeep Commanders and Grand Cherokees after getting 32 complaints that a driver's knee can hit the key fob or key chain, causing the ignition switch to move out of position. The federal investigation is still open. The agency said Tuesday that it is requesting additional information from Chrysler to ensure that its repairs will be effective. The investigations and recalls come after GM bungled an ignition-switch recall of older small cars. GM acknowledged that it knew of the ignition problem for more than a decade but failed to recall the cars until earlier this year, when it recalled 2.6 million small cars such as the Chevrolet Cobalt.
