1986 Jeep Cj7 4x4 5 Speed on 2040-cars
Riverside, California, United States
Up for auction is a very clean 86 Jeep CJ 7. I have put a lot of money in this Jeep over the past year and due to some unforeseen circumstances I have to sell it. I hope it will find a new owner that will cherish it as much as I have.
Little history on the Jeep. I purchased it from the original owners son. He said is parents got it new and mainly used it as a tow vehicle. He had it for a few years and used it to commute and minor trail driving. He said the origial seats broke so he installed some Mastercraft Racing seats. Those were the first thing I replaced. He told me he loved the Jeep but had issues getting it to pass smog and kept taking it to different shops with no luck so he decided to sell it. Its been in southern California most of its life. When I got it, the Jeep was in great shape, besides the seats. There were 2 large CB antennas on the rear and the paint was faded all over with the clear coat starting to peal off on the hood. It had some Rancho Shocks and BFG tires. It was a good running Jeep, just ran real rich. I replaced the distributor and carburator with new replacements. Not re manufactured units, but NEW. I also added a MSD ignition box and coil. Replaced the O2 sensor, CTS, and EGR valve. With a little adjusting the Jeep passed the CA emissions test with ease. Then it went up hill from there. I started with the Axles, The rear was the stock Model 20. Early production 1986. I know they were weak. I swapped the gears to 4.10 and added a Detroit Locker and 1 piece axles with all new bearings and seals. The front was also swapped with 4.10 gears and a locker also. I then added a 4" lift kit with ProComp MX6 adjustable shocks all the way around. I purchased some 15x8 REV steel wheels and 33x12.50R15 Kumho Mud tires to top off the lift. I drove it around a bit then decided to have it repainted. The body was stripped down and all the trim, glass, door parts and everything that could be removed taken off for a cleaner job. I knew I was replacing the factory tire carrier so I had the body shop weld the factory holes to the original tire carrier and the CB antennas. The body and frame were rust free and in great shape. While the Jeep was at the shop getting done I stated ordering parts. I decieded since I was doing a 4500 dollar paint job on the Jeep, I might as well replace all the parts that looked worn. All the rubber parts are new. I swapped most of the chrome trim with all black parts. Weather stripping was all new. I found a 95 Wrangler family roll bar to swap out the factory one. New deluxe carped, bestop front seats, new dash pad, all new door hardware and trim. Leather door panels. VDP sound bar with the 6 speaker system and map lights. Pioneer Bluetooth in dash radio with Pandora. All exterior lights are new, with front halo LED and 6000K hid bulbs. Thousands of dollars later the Jeep was back from the shop and I started assembling it. Front and rear bumpers were replaced. Rear is a ball bearing tire carrier mounted to the frame with a hitch. Front is a stamped steal Smittybuilt unit. I had all the windows tinted when the glass was out of the Jeep. The top was repainted also. All the dash lights were replaced with SMD LED bulbs for brighter lighting at night. The flares were all replaced with new units. Front calipers, rotors, bearings, and pads are all new. Rear Shoes drums and hardware are all new. Has stainless brake lines front and rear. Aluminum radiator with electric fans from a Ford Contour that are wired to a 190 degree switch sitting in the thermostat housing. Always runs cool, even in the 107 degree weather we were having for the past few weeks in Socal. I know there is a lot of items I have not mentioned on the Jeep. It is a great running Jeep that walks up rocks like nothing. It looks better then new. The body shop floated the whole Jeep to take the factory stamping marks out. I do not want to sell it. I poured thousands of dollars into this Jeep with high quality replacement parts. Invoices so high I could have bought a Rubicon. I have always loved the CJ body style and still do. I am not proud to sell it, just forced. Will show to anyone interested before close of Auction. Sold AS IS I have added some links to YouTube for videos of the Jeep. My Father has a 85 Jeep that hew was building at the same time that might be listed also. http://youtu.be/HP8Zy_7gEaA http://youtu.be/HP8Zy_7gEaA |

Federal grand jury issues subpoenas to U.S. FCA dealers
Wed, Jul 27 2016Despite an attempt to clarify and backtrack, it seems the investigation into Fiat Chrysler Automobile's false sales reporting is picking up steam. According to Automotive News, FCA dealers and regional offices have received subpoenas ordering them to supply documents and testimony to a grand jury in Detroit. Of course, the dealers are objecting to the request. They claim the subpoenas are too broad and would require them to hand over too much personal information, like personal phone numbers of dealer employees going back years. The group wants to make it clear that FCA has clarified its sales reporting and that the issue is with the manufacturer, not dealers. The dealers say that FCA employee records and testimony should be enough. It's rumored that a dealer group is the one that sparked the investigation in the first place. FCA confirmed on July 18 that it indeed was under investigation by a number of federal agencies. Although they've clarified their position regarding sales reporting, the fraud investigation continues full steam. Related Video:
Sunday Drive: Trucks and SUVs of all shapes and sizes
Sun, Nov 5 2017The American automotive marketplace is dominated by trucks and SUVs, and so was the last week of coverage on Autoblog. By far, the most popular story of the week was our First Drive of the 2018 Lincoln Navigator. It may look like an old-school lumberer, but in reality Lincoln's flagship is a thoroughly modern, turbocharged-V6-powered, three-row, luxury people mover. The Jeep Wrangler is the world's most recognizable vehicle. So it's no surprise that the next version looks a whole heck of a lot like the last one, and the one before. It's all in the details, which is why we were so excited when Jeep decided to unleash a trio of images showing both two- and four-door Wranglers for us to dissect ahead of the SUV's official debut at the L.A. Auto Show later this year. Past that, spy photos of the next Chevy Silverado and Ram 1500 were predictably popular. See both of those below, and the cap it all off, check out the entire week's worth of SEMA coverage – including the bonkers Hennessey VelociRaptor 6x6 – in our mega image gallery at the bottom of this post. Enjoy! As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2018 Lincoln Navigator First Drive | From black sheep to flagship 2018 Jeep Wrangler revealed: First photos released before L.A.

Alfa Romeo will gain a Jeep Compass-based SUV
Fri, Nov 30 2018It was reported earlier this week that FCA would invest into its Italian factories to ramp up production at currently underutilized locations. Those plans have now been clarified with official information from FCA, as reported by Automotive News. The entire investment is worth $5.7 billion. First of all, Alfa Romeo will gain a new compact SUV based on the Jeep Compass architecture. The still-unnamed model will be available as a plug-in hybrid, and it will be built in Pomigliano, Italy. No U.S. availability has yet been announced, but it would not be odd to see the Compass-based model sold below the Stelvio in the States. The last time Alfa Romeo had anything similar in its model portfolio was when it offered Crosswagon-badged four-wheel-drive versions of the 156 and 159 wagons. As for the Jeep Compass itself, it will begin to be built at the Melfi plant in Italy. The rumored small "baby" Jeep slotting under the Renegade has not yet been officially mentioned. Fiat will introduce a battery electric 500, built in Turin, and the Pomigliano plant that will make the compact Alfa Romeo SUV will also be used to build a mild hybrid version of the Panda city car. The 500X will gain a PHEV variant. The Stelvio platform will also spawn a corresponding SUV for Maserati, and FCA also mentioned Maserati will introduce a new, unnamed model it will make in Modena. Automotive News quotes Italian press as saying this will be the Alfieri coupe and convertible, also offered as battery electric versions. Related Video:
