This 1986 AMC Jeep CJ7 was a project car that I purchased back in 2005. A year later my third child was born and since a family of 5 does not fit well in a CJ7 my usage of this classic CJ has continually declined to the point that I have not licensed it in the last two years and only driven it around the neighborhood to keep the battery charged. Now it is time to let someone else continue her restoration.
- 4.2L (258 c.i.) inline six-cylinder with a Howell Throttle Body Injection instead of the notorious Carter BBD carburetor. The Howell TBI gives slightly improved performance, easier starting, and easily passes Colorado emissions tests.
- Dana 300 transfer case and a Torque-Flight TF999 automatic transmission.
- Almost new 33x12.5x15 BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO tires
- Rubicon Express 2.5" suspension lift kit.
- Hard top and hard doors plus a Bestop Soft Top and 2 piece soft doors
- Warn "shorty" front bumper
- Oversized rear bumper with spare tire carrier and 2" receiver
- 20 gallon gas tank
- Differential gliders front and rear
- Tub is very solid
- The paint is a 6 out of ten. It looks good in most places but is bubbling, chipping, or has surface rust just ahead of the doors and on the hard doors at the hinges and on the rear window post
- Water stain on top of the soft top that is not visible from the ground unless you are 7 feet tall
- Soft top is missing a zipper on the left rear window insert
- Even though this has a 20 gallon tank the previous owner left the standard 15 gallon fuel pickup in the tank so the last 4+ gallons is unusable
- The spare tire is on a black rim instead of matching chrome rim
- The seat covers are waterproof but have some sun discoloration and small rips and tears

2013 Jeep Wrangler Moab Edition
Wed, 11 Dec 2013There will forever be a soft spot in my heart for the Jeep Wrangler. The last one I owned was red, and, as a 1990 model, had the square headlights derided by Jeep enthusiasts who grew up on the Civilian Jeeps that descended from their General Purpose military ancestors. As a teenager, I couldn't have cared less what shape its headlights happened to be - to me, a Jeep Wrangler represented freedom; a carefree do-it-all machine equally at home with the top stowed away in the summer or with the heater on full blast in the snowy clutches of Old Man Winter. In Dr. Seuss parlance, my square-headlighted Sneetch was just as worthy as any round-headlighted Sneetch.
All that said, I'll be the first person to advise against buying a Jeep Wrangler of any sort for owners who don't plan to use it as its makers intend. There's no good reason to punish yourself with a stiff and springy ride, a loud and somewhat drafty (though generally water-resistant) interior or the poor fuel economy expected of a block-shaped vehicle if you don't enjoy its other, more exciting benefits.
Of course, Jeep has done its darndest over the years to make the Wrangler as civilized as possible while keeping it as capable as federal law will allow. The 2013 Jeep Wrangler Moab edition is one of Jeep's latest attempts to attract attention from the upper reaches of the active lifestyle set, and I spent a week with one to see what makes the Moab special.
Chrysler reports $166M net income for Q1, down $307M vs. 2012
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Preliminary first-quarter results from 2013 have been announced by Chrysler, and the company is reporting a net income of $166 million on revenue of $15.4 billion. Compared to this period last year, net income is down $307 million and revenue has dropped $1 billion.
Chrysler says that its quarter was negatively affected by the costs associated with launching its 2013 Ram Heavy Duty, 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and preparation for the return of the all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee pictured above. The launches should provide a strong second half of 2013, says the automaker. "We remain on track to achieve our business targets, even as the first-quarter results were affected by an aggressive product launch schedule," said Chrysler Group LLC Chairman and CEO Sergio Marchionne.
On a positive note, the automaker says worldwide vehicle sales are up 8 percent from one year ago, a number pushed by a 12 percent bump in U.S. retail sales. In addition, domestic market share has risen slightly, up to 11.4 percent from 11.2 percent last year. Read more in the official statement below.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles: The next five years
Tue, 06 May 2014Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 24 hours, you've no doubt read about all of the big future product news coming out of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles today. We had individual brand reports from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Maserati and even Ferrari, but in the interest of simplifying and summarizing, we're going to list out the hard facts once more. Of course, with all of this still off in the future, there's still the possibility that a few changes will be made. But as of what we know right now, here's what's coming, and what's going away.
