Bassett, Virginia, United States

Immaculate 1986 Jeep CJ7 with a just completed frame on restoration.  This Jeep had the original paint up until 1 month ago when a frame on restoration was done.  The Jeep was a California Jeep and was very solid with no body damage and virtually no rust.  The frame is perfect, NO RUST AT ALL.   I have had this Jeep tagged and on the road for several months and used it as a daily driver before the paint/resto and have driven it a couple of times since then.   I get compliments everytime I drive it, because you just don't see that many CJ7's in this good a condition on the road everyday.  It  runs great, has good tight steering, good power disc brakes on the front and drums on the back in good working order.  It has a 5-speed manual transmission that works smooth with no problems.  The manual hubs, 4-wheel drive and  transfer case are all in good working order with no problems.  I have had this Jeep out on some main highways at 65 mph and it does not wander, shimmy, shake, pull or any of the myths with CJ Jeeps.   It goes straight and you can drive with one hand on the wheel.  It has a long list of new parts on this Jeep that include the paint, 31X10.50x15 all terrain tires, bikini top, manual gauges, fuel sending unit, front seats, mats, tail-light assemblies, park lights, stainless hood  hinges, tail-gate hinges, windshield hinges, mirrors, hood catches, hood decals, cowl vent, windshield to cowl weatherstripping, plugs, battery, oil change, filter, service, fender flares, fuel gauge, clutch, pressure plate, release bearing and pilot bearing, u-joints ......I may have missed something else.....its had a lot of money spent on it and needs very little more.   This is a good, smooth running Jeep with a slick factory Red paint job that turns heads everytime its driven.  It has a current Virginia state inspection (July 2014) and is ready to be driven.  All the seat-belts are in the Jeep also.  I would not be afraid to start anywhere on this Jeep, it is that smooth.  Winning bidder can come pay for the Jeep, bring a tag and drive it home.  I have a clear Virginia title in my name ready to go.  I have a bikini top only for the Jeep, but have ALL the hardware for a soft top, a set of full soft doors and a set of black safari doors go with the Jeep also.  I have a full 5-piece black carpet set that goes with the Jeep.  I did not put it in because I had rather have the ability to pull the plugs and wash it out rather than vacuum carpet, which holds moisture and causes rust.   I reserve the right to end the auction early as the Jeep is for sale locally.  Feel free to ask any questions and I will reply as best as I can.  I check email daily.  Thanks for looking and good luck bidding on an excellent daily driver CJ7 Jeep.

Dodge and Jeep recalling 895k SUVs for possibility of headliner fires

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

Dodge and Jeep are announcing recalls of a total of 895,000 Durango and Grand Cherokee models worldwide from the 2011 through 2014 model years. There's a possibility that the wiring in the sun visor can short circuit and cause a fire. It specifically affects vehicles built between January 5, 2010, and December 11, 2013, and there are approximately 651,000 of them in the US, 45,700 in Canada, 23,000 in Mexico and 175,000 outside of North America.
Screws that fasten the sunvisor to the headliner may pierce wires in the visor, if the part has been removed or serviced, potentially causing a fire risk. If the wires short circuit, they could overheat and potentially combust. The automakers report three injuries caused by this defect, and according to the investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, "there may be a total of 52 unique fire incidents."
To fix the problem, Dodge and Jeep will inspect the vehicles for suspect wiring, and all of the models, whether damaged or not, will get a new sun visor spacer with a wire guide to stop the possibility of short circuits. According to the automakers' announcement, "this condition is not present in vehicles which have not had the headliner or vanity mirror serviced." They will notify affected owners, and repairs will begin in August.

Chrysler recalls 350k vehicles over ignition switches

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

Chrysler has announced a recall covering 349,442 vehicles due to ignition switches that can either become stuck or move without warning. All of the affected vehicles are from the 2008 model year, and were built before May 12, 2008.
The automaker has learned that ignition keys on some vehicles "may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position during engine-startup," the company said in a statement. Additionally, "an ignition key may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position and may inadvertently move through the 'ON' position to 'ACCESSORY' or 'OFF.'"
Chrysler says it is unaware of any related injuries, and notes that while reduced braking, engine or steering power is possible in such instances, the airbags are not affected. The later stands in contrast to General Motors' recent rash of high-profile recalls, and it's an important distinction that Chrysler (understandably) felt necessary to call out in bold print in its press release.

Marchionne: Midsize pickup still not in the cards; Ram 1500, Jeep Wrangler could use aluminum

Wed, 07 May 2014

During the Fiat-Chrysler briefings on Tuesday, Reid Bigland, head of Ram Trucks, outlined the new product plans for his brand, including confirmation that an all-new light-duty Ram 1500 will launch in 2017. From there, discussions spun off in two directions, with the main questions being: will Ram build a midsize pickup? And, following Ford's move to extensively use aluminum in its new 2015 F-150, will Chrysler be using this weight-saving material for the next round of its fullsize truck, as well?
"I think there is room for a Ram 1000," Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne (pictured above) told members of the media, saying this is a conversation the automaker has been having internally for several years now. "We've tried this ... we've actually taken it to clinics," Marchionne stated, adding that the "response has been lukewarm."
"I have better use of aluminum in this house than a pickup truck." - Sergio Marchionne
