I have my rugged CJ7 up for sale. This jeep has been in my family for the better part of 15 years, but i have just had a baby, so i need a more infant-carrier friendly vehicle. I am extremely meticulous in my vehicle maintenance; i often replace entire sets of parts instead of just the broken piece. Since i have been the owner of this jeep, i have performed a tremendous amount of work to keep it running strong. This jeep will probably not win any beauty pageants, but it will take you to all of them.

By vehicle sub-system i have replaced, maintenanced or updated:

Fuel
New fuel tank
Fuel pickup
Filler hoses
Filler neck
Gas cap
Soft lines
Fuel pump
Fuel filter
Carburetor -- Aftermarket Holley with manual choke and an ring air cleaner element available in any parts store.

Cooling
New brass-core radiator and cap
Water pump
Thermostat
Stainless bolts for the thermostat housing (old bolts rusted in place)
All rubber hoses
Heater core
Heater blower motor

Engine
Replaced the rear main seal (engine does not leak oil any more)
Timing chain (probably not necessary, but i already had the water pump out)
Ignition coil, plugs, wires, distributor cap and button
Replaced PCV valves and grommets

Electrical
Battery is less than 6 months old
Headlamps are Hella round enclosures with H1 bulbs -- which you can buy in any parts store, unlike the old sealed beam units.
All parking and exterior indicator lights

Interior
All new seats (front and rear)
NOS seat risers were used up front
Replaced seat belts and buckles
Floormats and steering wheel cover
Rear seat is a fold-and-tumble for additional space in the back
All new grade 8 fasteners were used when installing the equipment
All door and top seals were replaced

Drivetrain
Remanufactured Borg Warner/Tremec T5 5-speed manual transmission from JeepTransmissions. This is the same basic transmission that was installed in the old fox body mustangs, this is not the Peugeot unit that some jeeps came with.
Added a twin stick transfer case shifter -- this makes shifting from 2WD to 4WD and low to high range a breeze
Flywheel was resurfaced
Replaced pilot bearing
Replaced clutch disc
Replaced pressure plate
Replaced clutch engagement mechanism
Dana 300 was torn down and had new bearings and seals installed
Replaced aging U-joints with spicer U-joints to rebuild the drive shafts
Light weight forged aluminum wheels and General Grabber tires. I think this upgrade added 1 or 2 mpg by itself.

Braking
Replaced master cylinder
Replaced front hard lines
Replaced calipers and pads
Replaced all soft hoses
Replaced rear drums, springs and shoes

As you can see, i have invested some time and energy to maintaining this jeep through the time i have owned it. I have not modified it in any irreversible manner nor have i added any crazy lift kits. This is just a jeep at this point. It would be a great daily driver or a base for any serious off-road project. This jeep starts, runs and drives pretty well. The carb is tuned and it even works surprisingly well in the cold. The body has a few rust holes, but the frame and other equipment are all solid.

This jeep includes full-height steel doors and the original fiberglass hardtop.

Also available:
For an additional $100, i will include the original steel rims that came with the jeep. You could use these for mud or snow tires.
For an additional $300, i will include a set of new and never installed leaf springs suitable for a 4-inch lift. I bought these with the intention of replacing the entire suspension with an updated system, but in the end i never decided on a replacement.
