 1982 Jeep CJ 7 Renegade:

Tons of work completed! Very little rust for an '82. Lots of body work completed, but understand I was not going for a full resto, more of a solid daily wheeler you could drive to and from the mountains. Undercarriage was cleaned and sealed w/ POR15 rust preventive paint. Original color and original "Renegade" Sticker on the hood... It's distinctive. Awesome Jeep, but after 8 years it needs a new home.

The Good -

- TBI fuel Injection w/ stock GM Ignition Coil
- Clifford Performance High Flow Intake Manifold
- Clifford Performance Headers into 2-1/4" Exhaust... Awesome exhaust note!
- Rebuilt 5spd Transmission (T5)
- Refreshed and Re-sealed Dana 300 Transfer Case
- Fully Rebuilt Front and Rear Diffs
- Rear Ox Locker
- 2" Pro Comp Lift w/ MX6 adjustable shocks
- J20 Power Steering Gear Box Upgrade
- 31" Studded Snow Tires, drives great in the snow and wet
- Chevy Blazer Heat Blower Motor Upgrade
- CD w/ Aux Jack and good Speakers
- Grey Bikini Top
- Grey Bestop Soft Top
- Full Hard Doors
- Full Soft Doors (tan color)

The Bad -

- No Emissions Equipment, i.e. it probably will not pass.
- Fuel Gauge Doesn't work & the Speedo only works to 35mph.
- Motor was Freshly Rebuilt about 2000 miles ago, BUT if it is warm and idles for about 5 min w/out driving it will start to smoke. Compression was tested and is an even 120-125psi across all cylinders.

That Said, I just drove it 250 miles through the mountains w/ out an issue and no noticeable oil use and wouldn't be afraid to do so again.

I would love to keep the Jeep, but I had to purchased a truck for work and the Jeep needs to go.

 As with most built Jeeps.. well over $10K in parts, maintenance, and upgrades.

I am Located in Central Denver, CO.  Buyer would be responsible for shipping or pick-up of the vehicle.

Trying the new Compass and other Jeeps on for size

Fri, Nov 18 2016

If any brand has license to sell several like-sized SUVs, it's Jeep, which invented the concept in the first place. Yet, with the Cherokee, Renegade, and the redesigned 2017 Jeep Compass revealed at the LA Auto Show, just how like-sized is this trio of compact SUVs? Well, as it turns out, that answer is more complicated than just looking at various spreadsheets of specifications. After the cover was pulled off the new Compass, I managed to explore each back-to-back-to-back to see how their back seats and cargo areas compare. Perhaps obviously, the Renegade is the smallest of the trio no matter how you look it. Well, it actually has the most headroom, but rear legroom is cramped (a 6-footer can't sit behind another 6-footer) and it's quite obvious the cargo area is about nine cubic feet smaller with the rear seats raised. However, the Cherokee and Compass are surprisingly similar both on paper and in person – and even more surprisingly, the newer, smaller-on-the-outside Compass is actually a bit more spacious despite being nine inches shorter in overall length. View 14 Photos When seated in back, my knees were just touching the driver seat when it was motored most of the way back to accommodate my 6-foot-3 frame. However, the Cherokee's slightly chunkier seatback meant the Compass actually had a bit more rear legroom. I then set the passenger seat to a more average distance and again, the Compass had a slight advantage. The Cherokee did have a bit more under-thigh support, however, which indicates the seat is mounted a bit higher. But that creates a problem, as headroom is more significantly affected when the panoramic sunroof is specified. In the Cherokee, my head was into the sunroof cavity and resting against its rigid surround. In the Compass, there was just enough clearance. It should be a difference, both in terms of headroom and perceived roominess that those of average height should notice. As for their cargo areas, the Compass' is larger and more useable. With the rear seats raised, it has 27.2 cubic feet versus the Cherokee's 24.6. You can scoot its sliding seat forward to nearly equal the Compass, but of course doing so reduces its rear legroom. The main reason is width. The Cherokee is noticeably narrow and it gets worse when equipped with the optional subwoofer. In terms of maximum cargo volume with the rear seats lowered, the Compass has 59.8 cubic feet to the Cherokee's 54.9.

Dodge revamping lineup with AWD Challenger and lighter Charger

Tue, Sep 6 2016

Dodge's current lineup is aging rapidly. The Charger, for example, is going on 5 years old but its platform dates back to 2006. FCA, according to Automotive News, is working on revitalizing Dodge's lineup with the first of some new models debuting later this year. The report reveals plans for the majority of FCA's brands, but the most interesting bit of information is an all-wheel-drive model for the Dodge Challenger, which is being referred to as the GT AWD. Mopar unveiled the Challenger GT AWD Concept at SEMA last year as a concept, but it looks like the idea stuck. The vehicle is set to make its debut this fall and will lead the way for a wide-body, Hellcat-powered version that will be released in 2017. That model will be called the Challenger ADR. The entire Challenger lineup will be redesigned in 2018, which includes switching over to the lighter Giorgio platform - the same one that underpins the Alfa Romeo Guilia Dodge will also redesign the Charger to accommodate the new Giorgio platform in 2018. A new two-door convertible could debut in 2021, resurrecting the Barracuda moniker. The aging Dodge Durango will get a light refresh in 2017 with the addition of an SRT model, which Automotive News reports will feature a 6.4-liter V8 engine. Other changes are in store for other FCA brands, including the debut of full-size crossover in 2018 for Chrysler, which will be followed by a midsize crossover in 2019. The Jeep Compass and Wrangler will get a redesign for 2017, with the Cherokee getting a light makeover, as well. The Wrangler-based pickup truck, which we recently spotted testing, is set for its debut in 2018, while the Wagoneer will come out a year later.
