 Up for auction is a very clean 86 Jeep CJ 7.  I have put a lot of money in this Jeep over the past year and due to some unforeseen circumstances I have to sell it.  I hope it will find a new owner that will cherish it as much as I have.

Little history on the Jeep.  I purchased it from the original owners son.  He said is parents got it new and mainly used it as a tow vehicle.  He had it for a few years and used it to commute and minor trail driving.  He said the origial seats broke so he installed some Mastercraft Racing seats.  Those were the first thing I replaced.  He told me he loved the Jeep but had issues getting it to pass smog and kept taking it to different shops with no luck so he decided to sell it.  Its been in southern California most of its life.

When I got it, the Jeep was in great shape, besides the seats.  There were 2 large CB antennas on the rear and the paint was faded all over with the clear coat starting to peal off on the hood.  It had some Rancho Shocks and BFG tires.  It was a good running Jeep, just ran real rich.  I replaced the distributor and carburator with new replacements.  Not re manufactured units, but NEW.  I also added a MSD ignition box and coil.  Replaced the O2 sensor, CTS, and EGR valve.  With a little adjusting the Jeep passed the CA emissions test with ease.  Then it went up hill from there.

I started with the Axles, The rear was the stock Model 20.  Early production 1986.  I know they were weak.  I swapped the gears to 4.10 and added a Detroit Locker and 1 piece axles with all new bearings and seals.  The front was also swapped with 4.10 gears and a locker also.  I then added a 4" lift kit with ProComp MX6 adjustable shocks all the way around.  I purchased some 15x8 REV steel wheels and 33x12.50R15 Kumho Mud tires to top off the lift.  I drove it around a bit then decided to have it repainted.

The body was stripped down and all the trim, glass, door parts and everything that could be removed taken off for a cleaner job.  I knew I was replacing the factory tire carrier so I had the body shop weld the factory holes to the original tire carrier and the CB antennas.  The body and frame were rust free and in great shape.  While the Jeep was at the shop getting done I stated ordering parts.  I decieded since I was doing a 4500 dollar paint job on the Jeep, I might as well replace all the parts that looked worn.  All the rubber parts are new.  I swapped most of the chrome trim with all black parts.  Weather stripping was all new.  I found a 95 Wrangler family roll bar to swap out the factory one.  New deluxe carped, bestop front seats, new dash pad, all new door hardware and trim.  Leather door panels.  VDP sound bar with the 6 speaker system and map lights.  Pioneer Bluetooth in dash radio with Pandora.  All exterior lights are new, with front halo LED and 6000K hid bulbs.  Thousands of dollars later the Jeep was back from the shop and I started assembling it. 

Front and rear bumpers were replaced.  Rear is a ball bearing tire carrier mounted to the frame with a hitch.  Front is a stamped steal Smittybuilt unit.  I had all the windows tinted when the glass was out of the Jeep.  The top was repainted also.  All the dash lights were replaced with SMD LED bulbs for brighter lighting at night.  The flares were all replaced with new units.  Front calipers, rotors, bearings, and pads are all new.  Rear Shoes drums and hardware are all new.  Has stainless brake lines front and rear.  Aluminum radiator with electric fans from a Ford Contour that are wired to a 190 degree switch sitting in the thermostat housing.  Always runs cool, even in the 107 degree weather we were having for the past few weeks in Socal.

I know there is a lot of items I have not mentioned on the Jeep.  It is a great running Jeep that walks up rocks like nothing.  It looks better then new.  The body shop floated the whole Jeep to take the factory stamping marks out.  I do not want to sell it.  I poured thousands of dollars into this Jeep with high quality replacement parts.  Invoices so high I could have bought a Rubicon.  I have always loved the CJ body style and still do.  I am not proud to sell it, just forced. 

Will show to anyone interested before close of Auction. Sold AS IS

I have added some links to YouTube for videos of the Jeep.  My Father has a 85 Jeep that hew was building at the same time that might be listed also.

Jeep Wrangler Scrambler pickup truck spy shots reveal top and lighting details

Wed, Jun 6 2018

Several spy shots have come out that give us further insight into the new Jeep Wrangler Scrambler pickup truck. Among them are some photos of a prototype being driven near FCA test facilities. They show that the Wrangler will have LED headlights available similar to those on the SUV model, as well as the new Renegade revealed for Europe. They also show the taillights of the pickup, though they appear to be units from a previous-generation JK Wrangler. They're probably placeholders for the new model's lights. View 22 Photos These photos also include images of the truck's interior. The dashboard is a mash-up of old pieces, including a JK Wrangler dash, and a Chrysler-badged steering wheel. But the important part of these photos is that they show parts of a normal Wrangler SUV roll cage, and latches holding down roof panels. These are evidence that the production model will have a removable roof. Further evidence comes from photos taken by someone from the Jeep aftermarket part company Artec Industries was checking out the factory in Toledo, Ohio. The images were brought to our attention by Jeep Scrambler Forum, and they show an unfinished Wrangler pickup body sitting in the doorway to the painting facility. The photo is below, and it confirms a number of details. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. This body has the same style of roll cage as those found on the SUV versions of the Wrangler. Specifically, it looks like a combination of the upright rear cage of the two-door, with the length of the Wrangler Unlimited's cage. In addition to confirming the removable top, the windshield also appears to fold down, too. Beyond the confirmation of the top and windshield features, the rest of the cab looks almost identical to any other 2019 Wrangler Unlimited. The fenders and hood are the same, down to the fender vents, as are the doors. The cab shows that there was clearly room for full-size doors, which would have been welcome from an access perspective, but that would naturally cost more than already developed parts, It also means that any aftermarket doors or door accessories created for the Unlimited will work with the Scrambler. We can also see that there's a small diagonal indent in the cab where part of the rear fender will fit. It also matches up with the line of the rear door.

Jeep first American carmaker to return to Tokyo show

Sat, May 23 2015

Despite foreign-brand car sales in Japan declining six percent in the first four months of this year, Jeep sales are up 21 percent in the same period. That could explain why Jeep will be the first the US manufacturer to return to the Tokyo Motor Show after eight years away. Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler walked away during the global crisis that struck after the 2007 show. Jeep will be part of an eight-vehicle, four-brand showcase overseen by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Japan, the local subsidiary. For the moment, it is the only US brand to sign up - neither Ford, GM, or even Chrysler are committed to attend. Stablemates Fiat, Alfa Romeo, and Abarth will be there, along with 13 other foreign makes, answering the "Technology & Fantasy" theme for this year's event. In total, organizers announced 15 brands from 14 Japanese manufacturers, and 27 brands from 17 foreign carmakers. The show opens to the public from Oct. 30 to Nov. 8. Related Video:

Freak accident during Jeep demonstration turns fatal

Mon, 20 May 2013

A 20-year-old woman was killed in Edmonton, Canada on Satuday, reports CTV News, in a freak accident resulting from a rollover during a Jeep demonstration. As part of a fundraising enthusiast event called "Jeeps Go Topless," the driver of one Jeep Wrangler drove up and onto the top of the tire of another.
CTV reports that the owner of the topmost Jeep then switched the vehicle off, posed for pictures and then dismounted from his vehicle. His movement off of the Jeep apparently caused it to tip over, crushing a woman who was on top of an adjacent vehicle. Edmonton police are currently investigating more fully what caused the parking lot accident to occur. Scroll below to watch the CTV News video report about this tragic incident.
