1976 Jeep Cj7 Cj-7 - Frame Off Resto-mod on 2040-cars
Year:1976
Mileage:999999
Location:
Goose Creek, South Carolina, United States
|
Great classic Jeep for on or off road. Equipped to go anywhere you point it. 1976 was the first year of the CJ-7 and this one has been torn down and re-assembled about 4 years ago with new or refurbished parts. The engine, transmission and transfer case remain factory with some upgrades. The frame and body are rust free and are in excellent shape. This jeep has been driven a good bit since then so there is a few oil leaks, but nothing major. I don't have an accurate mileage, but likely less than 1000 miles per year. There are so many upgrades that I have done, I will probably miss some. Engine - 258 (4.2L) I-6 with Motocraft 2100 2bbl carb and HEI ignition Transmission -- T-18A 4-speed manual with very desirable 6.32:1 granny gear Transfer Case -- Dana 20 Rear Axle -- AMC 20 with Front Axle -- Dana 30 with Lock Right locker & 3.54 gears Steering: New steering gear box, with M.O.R.E. HD steering box mount and brace, HD tie rod & draglink (1 ton ends) flipped to the top of the steering knuckles for clearance, and dropped pitman arm to correct steering geometry. This Jeep does not wander on the road even without steering stabilizers. Suspension -- Springs are 6" YJ springs from Rough Country with custom front long travel shocks. One leaf from each spring pack was removed to lower the Jeep some since the Jeep was higher than desired, but can be reinstalled easily. Wheels/Tires -- The wheels are 15x8 factory Jeep CJ 8-spoke wheels wrapped in 35x12.50R15 BFG Mud Terrain KM tires. The spare is the same, but All-Terrain tire mounted to a heavily reinforced factory spare tire carrier. Body -- Body was stripped and repaired of any rust (rust was minor since the Jeep was originally a Texas Jeep) and sprayed OD Green on the outside and a DIY Dupli Color Bed Armor liner applied to the interior. The roll bar is a "family cage" from a 95 Wrangler and an OR-Fab front cage was welded in to protect the front. The fenders were trimmed to fit factory TJ flares to clear the tires at full compression. The front fenders were trimmed additionally to create the "flat fender" look on the front. The front and rear bumpers are custom fabricated and are extremely heavy duty. The front bumper has provisions for a drum style winch. Smittybilt rock sliders were added for side protection Interior -- Front seats are Smittybilt seats. Driver side seat has damage from me getting in and out, but is repairable. The rear seat is a factory fixed back seat. The rear seat has shoulder harness seat belts due to the "family cage" but the front is only lap belts but has provisions for shoulder harnesses. The dash is a custom fiberglass dash that I designed and fabricated and contains all appropriate gauges along with a Marine radio and speakers. Everything works and there are no lingering issues that need to be addressed. On Mar-18-14 at 07:32:08 PDT, seller added the following information: Great classic Jeep for on or off road.

Edit: 3/18 Forgot to mention a few things about the Jeep. The only "issue" with the Jeep is that the release bearing for the clutch is starting to squeak when the clutch is released in neutral. Otherwise, there are no issues preventing it from being driven. Another item I forgot to clarify is that the Jeep does have power steering, but not power brakes. Don't let that fool you though. The front brakes are disc and the rear are the large 1" drums. With the stainless steel brake hoses, it is a very firm pedal and it may take a little more foot pressure, but it will stop on a dime if needed. This Jeep is also for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early. Buyer is responsible for any and all applicable shipping charges and or any taxes that are required.

FCA recalls 15k Grand Cherokees, Durangos over brake issues
Sun, Apr 3 2016The Basics: Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is recalling 14,768 examples of the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango, both from the 2015 and 2016 model years, and built between December 9, 2015, and January 14, 2016. The Problem: The left front brake caliper on some vehicles may have been made from the wrong type of iron, and could be prone to crack. A cracked brake caliper may not function properly. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The problem was discovered by the automaker during testing. The fix: Dealers will need to check the casting date of the component in question, and if necessary, replace the brake caliper. The schedule for carrying out the recall service has yet to be outlined. If you own one: Expect to hear from the manufacturer to arrange an appointment with your local dealer.

2015 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk [w/video]
Mon, Jan 26 2015There are two avenues to the world of off-roading. Arguably the more popular is to pick up a second- or third-hand Jeep, Land Rover or pickup truck and go wild with the aftermarket. The opposite approach, though, is to simply buy new, which brings a warranty along with the most up-to-date off-road tech fitted by the factory (despite likely lacking the ultimate capability of an aftermarket-imbued vehicle). That second option has, traditionally, been pricey. Take our long-term Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, which rings up at just over $38,000. A Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is going to be an even more expensive proposition, while the undisputed kings of luxury off-road performance from the factory – the Range Rover, Toyota Land Cruiser and Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen – will require ownership of a medium-sized oil well. With all due respect to those who take their Trail-Rated Jeep Patriot models off-road, the all-new Renegade Trailhawk is such an exciting proposition because it brings the cost of a warranty-backed off-roader down significantly, while also delivering a degree of trail-rated performance that should easily fulfill the needs of the average enthusiast. Drive Notes Before we get into what it adds, it's worth noting that the Trailhawk trim does have a small impact on the Renegade's on-road abilities. As we said in our original feature, the TH adds a significant amount of weight to the standard CUV, as it tips the scales at nearly 3,600 pounds. That mass, combined with the slightly higher stance, means the off-road model doesn't handle quite as well as a lesser Jeep. It also doesn't feel as fleet of foot, as it retains the same 2.4-liter, 180-horsepower four-cylinder and nine-speed automatic found throughout the Renegade range. Despite the downers, the Trailhawk trim does bring quite a lot to the Renegade package, most notably in the form of a bespoke version of Jeep's Active Drive all-wheel-drive system. The upgraded system features a dedicated 20:1 crawl ratio while the Selec-Terrain system is home to a new Rock setting. Beyond that, Jeep lifted the Renegade's ride height eight-tenths of an inch, increasing overall ground clearance to 8.7 inches and delivering 8.1 inches of wheel articulation. This is complemented by unique front- and rear-fascias, which up the approach and departure angles to 30.5 and 34.3 degrees, respectively, besting the Cherokee Trailhawk's 29.8 degrees and 32.1 degrees.
Jeep Renegade and Fiat 500X finally on the way to dealers
Mon, Jun 1 2015After a brief pause, the Jeep Renegade and Fiat 500X are on their way to dealers again. While initially reported as a software bug, the issue had nothing to do with the models themselves. According to a statement from FCA US to Autoblog, the "vehicles were built with an atypical Vehicle Identification Number that may not be recognized as valid by some computer systems." That problem has now been fixed. FCA US held the compact crossovers back from dealers until the company could rectify the bug. If the CUVs had been delivered, there would have been difficulty registering the vehicles, according to Automotive News. Before discovering the situation, about 20 of these Renegades were sold to customers. FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne originally discussed the predicament in late May. "I'm having a very bad engineering day," he said. "It's a combination of attributes of that vehicle that is making my life horrible." While the boss predicted the problem would be fixed as late as mid-June, the company apparently got things working much quicker than that. Related Video: FCA US Statement A limited number of 2015 Jeep Renegade and 2016 Fiat 500X vehicles were built with an atypical Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) that may not be recognized as valid by some computer systems. This VIN issue has been resolved. FCA US has been working with governmental agencies, insurers and financial institutions with whom customers may interact to ensure successful registration, financing and insurance coverage. Renegade and 500X vehicles are being shipped and are in stock at dealerships for purchase. The VIN issue is entirely separate from the operation of the vehicle.
