I have a Custom 1984 Jeep CJ7 that has been through a frame off restoration that went in stages through the years of 1998-2002 and still looks good today. It has been garage kept every winter and has never seen a rain since I purchased it.  

It was built to be a fun summer cruiser and is a good one at that. It has a rebuilt 304 AMC engine built from scratch. All parts were purchased separately and put together nicely. The block was bored 40 over with some nice new pistons. The crank I had was completely redone as well as the heads. The cam is a Comp Cam with a 292 duration and a 518 lift. It definitely has an amazing sound with the help of a custom dual Flowmaster exhaust coming out the back at an angle. The radiator was brand new at the time of rebuild along with the distributor, Holley Laser shot coil, wires and the aluminum Edelbrock intake. I put a nice aluminum battery tray and aluminum over flow tank in as well.   

It has a T-176 transmission out of another CJ that was rebuilt.

It has a dana 35 front axle and a model 20 rear with the one piece put in for the extra strength and the nice flat hub look. Both axles have great looking aluminum fin hub covers.

You could definitely have a blast taking this off road but I never have. It’s strictly been a nice day cruiser for me.  The lift is a Rancho 2 1/2 in suspension lift with Rancho shocks. It has a nice mild 2in body lift that’s tucked under without being seen along with beefier shackles. 

Tires are 33x12.5 15 TSL Thornbirds with Mickey Thompson 15x10 wheels with 1/2 -3/4 tread left. I do have a full size spare that has never been used. I have a very neat spare tire carrier that actually goes in place of the backseat and is bolted to the floor and holds the spare at an angle like you see in the back of a pickup truck but made for a jeep. It’s still in the box that it came in and the backseat is still in the jeep.  

The interior is basic. It has a full roll cage, aluminum diamond plate dash, an aluminum wiper motor cover, the tub was rhino lined, aluminum diamond plate floor plates where the driver and passenger feet go. In the entry ways there are aluminum diamond plate guards along with custom RCI racing bucket seats with a great locking Tuffy console that houses your radio/cd player. The gauges are the digital ones that look great at night, with the addition of a digital tach as well. There’s a billet Grant steering wheel with a Sony cd player,  JL Audio 6x9 speakers in the pods tucked between the roll cage and rear fender wells and 5 1/4 JL Audio speakers in the dash.   

The body is the original metal tub that required some body work. The fenders and hood are also original. The only body part that isn’t original is the windshield frame. The windshield frame was powdered coated to a nice bright shiny finish. The frame is super clean even before the resto there was no rust as well as the axles are very nice and rust free. The whole under carriage, inside of fender wells and part of the engine compartment are painted black using a thick more durable paint that’s easy to clean and hose off.

It does not have a top or doors just because I have never driven it in weather that required it. The heater was actually taken out just because it was never used. The bumpers are chrome double tube Smittybuilt which look great with the chrome grill, aluminum diamond plate front frame cover and aluminum diamond plate gas tank skid plate. All the hinges are polished stainless steel as well as the gas fill plate and the custom round recessed tail lights. The front bumper has 2 KC 6” round chrome lights with matching colored cover for the jeep. They were put on but never wired up. I have all the wiring and switches to finish the install.  

 

The reason I’m selling it is because it is never driven, it just sits in the garage and with being busy with work and family I really don’t have the time for it. There are two things that need to be done on it and one is the rear brakes. I actually just disconnected them because I was going to put a rear disk brake conversion kit on it that I never got around to doing but the rear brakes are all there, the lines are just pinched off right now and just need to be hooked back up. The other thing is the digital gauges, not sure if they go bad over time, but some seem to come and go at times. The fuel gauge, the volt meter and the water temp are the 3 that have issues. It could be a lose connection over time, just not sure. The miles before the rebuild it was in the low 50’s. After I installed the new gauges, they weren’t recording the millage properly. I only drive it maybe once every 2 months when it’s nice but I do change the oil every year even though it really doesn’t need it. It’s a great jeep and very fun to drive, thanks for looking.

Chrysler readying 20 Moparized vehicles for SEMA

Tue, 08 Oct 2013

The Las Vegas Convention Center has plenty of space for aftermarket companies and automakers to show off their wares, and it looks like Chrysler is taking advantage of the spacious floor plan. At next month's SEMA Show, Chrysler will have a full 20 cars from its six brands decked out with Mopar gear.
As a hint of what is to come, Chrysler released a handful of teaser sketches showing glimpses of modified Jeep Cherokee, Ram 1500, Fiat 500L and Chrysler 300 concept vehicles. The automaker will also use the venue to show off a new line of Jeep Performance Parts offered by the all-new Mopar Off-Road Division. In addition to the images, Chrysler also issued a brief press release - posted below - breaking down some of the "industry-first features" that Mopar has offered in recent years.

Making the Compatriot the Jeep we want - and deserve

Fri, Jul 8 2016

If you're one of the hottest brands in the world, and you need to replace two vehicles that sell at a rate of nearly 200k a year, what exactly are you going to do? Do you take the safe route and attempt to mirror what has largely kept you a success thus far, or do you improve on the formula, and better sort your lineup? After 10 years with the Jeep Compass and Patriot, it is time for both to hang up their jackets and go in for the long dirt nap. And what a strange 10 years it's been. Born of the age of Diamler-Chrysler, the "Merger of equals," the Compass and Patriot were brought into this world to shore up sales of Jeep worldwide, pull on the heartstrings of former Cherokee owners, and make sure teenage girls had an affordable crossover to buy in just a few years. As much as I like to throw shade at each model on both subjective and objective basis, I truly find the purpose of each vehicle to be relatively endearing. For less than $22,000, you could (that is, if you could find one) walk out of your local Jeep dealer with a 4x4 crossover, with a manual gearbox, decent all-weather performance, and somewhat respectable fuel economy. This of course ignores the fact that they weren't packaged all that well, based on the outrageously terrible Dodge Caliber, and used all those shared bits and bobs with Mitsubishi that should have been shelved by 2010. Yet, the twins lived on, and on, and on. We've heard stories as far back as 2012 that they weren't long for our world, and then we get news that they're making it through 2017. Just in time for the "Compatriot" to arrive. I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out what Jeep intends to do with the Compatriot. As far as most blogs seem to know, we're getting a Compass and Patriot replacement that is based on the already well-received Renegade. A little bit of a stretch on the chassis will certainly aid in ride quality, and the Grand Cherokee styling cues will give it a much more upscale demeanor. Even the interior has looked very well executed, with a positively huge uConnect screen set in the middle of the dash. Could Jeep actually be trying to take their Compass and Patriot replacement significantly more up the product chain? I certainly hope so. If you pilot your browser over to the Jeep configurators, you might be surprised by how low the base prices are on almost all of their products. Less than $30k for a new Cherokee? A Renegade for just under $18k? What a deal!

Chrysler recalling hundreds of thousands of Jeep Grand Cherokee and Commander SUVs

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

The public might associated ignition switch recalls with General Motors - and with good cause - but that's not the only automaker calling its vehicles back in to fix that sort of issue.
Last month we reported that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was investigating an array of Chrysler Group vehicles for electrical-related safety issues. The administration and Chrysler subsequently issued a recall for 700,000 Dodge Journey crossovers, Dodge Grand Caravan minivans and Chrysler Town & Country minivans. But while the Jeeps that were also under investigation were not covered in that recall, they are being addressed in a separate one now.
Although Chrysler reports that it is only aware of a single accident stemming from this issue, it is "committing now to conduct a recall out of an abundance of caution." The recall affects the 2006-2007 Jeep Commander and 2005-2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee, of which it reports there are 792,300 on the road: 649,900 in the United States, 28,800 in Canada, 12,800 in Mexico and a further 100,800 outside of North America.
