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.

We drive the cars of Furious 7... in Forza Horizon 2 [w/video]

Thu, Apr 9 2015

On March 27, Turn 10 Studios, the folks behind the Forza Motorsport series, and Universal Pictures, the studio responsible for the Fast and Furious franchise, gave us a match made in heaven, announcing a "standalone expansion" featuring the two franchises. Called Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast and Furious, it features the cars from the latest film installment, unique missions and the voice-acting of Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, who plays tech guru Tej Parker on camera. A Fast and Furious video game? Seems like a no brainer. It gets better. Rather than limiting the Fast and Furious Edition cars to the expansion game, Turn 10 made them available through one of their (some may say notorious) downloadable content packages. Eight of the expansion's 11 cars were made available for just $4.99 (the only cars that weren't included were the Fast and Furious Edition Nissan GT-R, while the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport and McLaren P1 are already available in-game). What's cool ais that the cars featured in both games are visually identical to the vehicles driven by the stars of Furious 7. Each in-game car has an on-screen parallel that plays a role in advancing the film's story. Considering that we're unlikely to score seat time in Dominic Toretto's real Dodge Charger, then, we figured we'd take to the game and test the car in the digital realm. We've got nine little cluster reviews, covering the cars both in the game and how they appear in the movies. And don't worry, there are no major spoilers here. Click on for the cars of Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast and Furious. 1970 Dodge Charger R/T Fast and Furious Edition Supercharged 7.2L V8 / 900 HP / 663 LB-FT The one vehicle that is mandatory in a Fast and Furious video game, Dom's hot-rodded 1970 Dodge Charger, is as much a character in the films as its driver. Furious 7 marks the fourth appearance of this Mopar beast in the series. Not surprisingly it's a handful to drive, wildly quick and with a four-speed transmission packed full of very tall gears. But beyond that, it's arguably the coolest of the FF Edition cars. This black beauty is exactly as it appears in the latest installment of the film, with the video game version featuring intricate little details, like the moving parts on the BDS supercharger. It's an iconic car, and it's treated as such in the game.

2014 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year finalists announced [w/poll]

Tue, 10 Dec 2013

The 2014 North American International Auto Show is right around the corner, which means it's high time we found out which cars and trucks would be finalists for the prestigious North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards.
The finalists - three in cars and three in three trucks/utilities - are dominated by American brands, with two-thirds of the finalists hailing from either General Motors or Chrysler (don't worry Ford, there's always next year), while outliers from Mazda and Acura can be found in each contest. Here now is the list of finalists for the big prizes:

Off-roader plows through a deep bog like it was nothing

Wed, May 18 2016

The Facebook page Jeeps With Attitude runs a weekly series called Too Deep Tuesday wherein they post videos of off-roaders running their rigs through bogs and mud holes of surprising depth and coming out the other side soggy but relatively unscathed. This week's video, in which a driver extracts a buried vehicle from the muddiest bog in the land, is the perfect mix of nutso bravery and off-road know-how. The video starts with the vehicle already sunk to its hood and listing to starboard in a deep, sticky bog. Slowly but surely, the vehicle creeps forward through the mud, pushing a heavy bow wave of muck and debris in front of it. Unlike other recent videos where jeep drivers lost their rides in the water and destroyed their expensive toys, this driver keeps his cool and with a steady foot on the accelerator and the help of a winch and a convenient tree, eventually emerges triumphant. What did he do right? Well, using the vehicle's winch to help pull the rig out of the mud was the big thing. Also, he kept his cool and, once committed, never hesitated or deviated from his chosen path. Gunning it blindly or backing up in that mess would have meant almost certain death for that vehicle, a lesson that the aforementioned Jeep drivers learned the hard way.
