1983 Jeep CJ-7 titled, licensed & insured.
$17,500
It's been in two competitions total (Western, IA) and won the big tires class both times against many other nice rigs with bigger tires, tractor tires, Uni-Mog axles, tube buggies etc., so I would say it's a proven vehicle.
Been to Moab once, CO one the way back and a couple places in MO besides Iowa.
Frame off rebuild done about 8 years ago.
Over the course of time, I've probably spent over $35,000 on parts and hundreds and hundreds hours of labor to make this one of the best wheelin' Jeeps around and it is still streetable.
I just drove it to a Cruise night in June.
It would make a plus 75 MPH trip down the Interstate if you wanted to.
Its been wheeled only one time in the last 2 years, so that's the reason for selling.
Probably wheeled about 25 times since frame-off rebuild. Lots of life left in most everything!

Jeep Cherokee won't get diesel until sales of oil-burning Grand Cherokee improve
Tue, 01 Jul 2014Okay Jeep fans, you want more diesel options? Time to step up and prove it. The only way Jeep will offer a diesel powerplant in the Cherokee, according to brand head Mike Manley, is if sales of the Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel nearly double.
Currently, about eight percent of the Grand Cherokees sold feature the 3.0-liter, EcoDiesel V6. That's simply not enough to warrant the bringing an oil-burning Cherokee to the US market, despite the vehicle's presence in Europe, where it's sold with a 2.8-liter diesel V6.
"Cherokee is slightly different because of its weight and size. When I think about bringing Cherokee diesel here, I would like to see Grand Cherokee diesel get much higher than eight percent," Manley told Automotive News. "It would have to be in mid-double digits."
