1985 Jeep CJ7 Renegade in amazing shape. I was given this Jeep for my 40th B-Day and it looked nothing like the Jeep it is today. I really enjoyed working on it and turning it into the head-turner it is. One of the main issues I have with this Jeep is when people are always stopping me to ask questions and give me their information for when I am ready to sell! 

My son is turning 16 soon and he wants to build his own Jeep with the old man. Unfortunately there is not enough room for two Jeeps so I am going to build one with him but not a CJ. Something with the wider wheel base so I'm not worried all the time about him tipping it. So its time to send this beauty to her next home. She runs great, pump the peddle twice and start her up - let her idle for 30 seconds and you are good to go! She never lets me down. Runs straight and true and wonderful at high speeds. 

Engine: This engine has roughly 80,000 miles on it. It was installed by the previous owner and is from a 1987 Wrangler. 

History - I bought this Jeep from South Carolina and had it shipped up here. It was newly painted but needed work. The Jeep is Rhino lined and there is no rust on the body - I honestly hardly drove the Jeep. She is garage kept and was only driven on nice days with no top or doors. I put around 3000 miles on it in 5 years. I never had the hard top or doors on the Jeep when I took her out. She only saw rain one time in my possession and it was a 5 minute sun shower. There are so many things new on this Jeep it would probably be easier to list what I did not replace but here we go:

Engine: Aluminum Valve Cover - Wires - Distributor - Weber Carburetor - Fuel Pump, Filter and Pressure Regulator with gauge - Hoses and wires galore - Power Brake Booster (same one that was used in Corvettes) - All new brakes - Horn 

Interior: New Carpet - Besttop Seats (Front and Rear Folding Seat (which can be easily removed when needed)) - Seat Mounts - Tuffy Lockable 12.5 inch Center Console with Stereo Compartment - All dashboard knobs, motors, dash lights/indicators and cables - New Speedometer (which is more accurate) - Chrome handle - Chrome glove box - Chrome dash panel - New Black Dash Pad - Grant steering wheel and turn signal lever- Seat belts (Front and Rear) - Roll bar pad - Front speakers and Rear Speakers (Attached to roll bar - see pictures) - Sony CD Player with Blue Tooth and Remote Control - Floor Mats - Cigarette Lighter - Shifter knobs - Rear view mirror - Stainless door guards - Door interior locks - Hard Top rear window pistons

Exterior: New Fuel tank and fuel sending unit - New Stainless mirrors - Front stainless bumper, Rear stainless bumper with hitch receiver (I never towed anything), Stainless Side Step bars - Fuel line - Plastic Jeep front frame cover (piece in front of the grill between the Jeep and bumper) - CJ and JEEP logo's - Antenna - Windshield wipers - Chrome/Stainless hinges and hood air intake vent as well as hood latches and various footman's - Sylvania Headlights - Chrome Headlight bezels and parking lights bezels/bulbs - New side lights - Chrome Wheel caps

Comes with:
New Bikini Top
Two used Jeep half doors (Yellow - I wanted to paint them white and use them instead of full doors) You can then buy a soft top to match which is a nice look for a CJ7. 
Jeep Cloth Cover with Bag 
Outside door locks (I never got around to replacing them)
New oil filter
Jeep Clock
Jeep Tachometer (I wanted to install these but never got around to it. Fun Saturday project to make the Jeep look more like a Laredo. 

What she still needs:
Since I never used the hard doors I never replaced the rubber gaskets on the doors or windows. I would do that if you plan to use them. You also have to replace the door locks which I included with the Jeep. The rear hard top lock needs to be replaced as this one does not have a key. $15 dollar item I just didn't get to it because I never lock the Jeep. Would take 10 minutes to swap out. 

Please feel free to email me or call me with any questions (973) 333-1283  - If you are local I encourage you to come by and take her for a drive. You won't be sorry!

Georgia judge slashes verdict to $40M in Jeep fire case

Wed, Jul 29 2015

A judge in Georgia has drastically reduced the damages that Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will have to pay to the family of Remington Walden, who a court said died as a result of the unsafe design of one of its vehicles. While the jury originally awarded the family $150 million at FCA's expense, Judge J. Kevin Chason cut that amount to $40 million, the Detroit News reported. The automaker may still appeal the verdict. The case dates to March 2012, when a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee in which four-year-old Walden was riding was rear-ended by another vehicle. Due to what the jury ruled was an unsafe fuel tank, a fire erupted, and Walden died in the fire. The family's lawyers successfully argued that the automaker knew there was a problem and didn't take sufficient action to address the issue, while FCA countered that its vehicles met the applicable safety standards when they were built. The jury found FCA 99 percent responsible for the fire and Walden's death, reserving the final one percent for the driver who caused the crash. The court awarded the Waldens $150 million in damages to be paid by the automaker: $120 million for wrongful death, and a further $30 million for pain and suffering. FCA, however, argued that the damages were disproportionate to the incident, noting that the $120 million was 11 times higher and the $30 million four times higher than any comparable awards upheld on appeal in the state. Chason agreed and cut the penalties extensively. The Walden family has reportedly accepted the reduced verdict. But according to the News, company spokesman Michael Palese said, "The reduction in the damage awards does not cure the many errors that tainted this verdict and denied FCA US a fair trial. We are considering our legal options." News Source: The Detroit NewsImage Credit: Jeep Government/Legal Recalls Jeep lawsuit court

How to tune a car right: Part 3, tuning Mopar with OST Dyno

Sun, Jan 23 2022

Not long ago, I wrote a story about a pony car tuned with a supercharger. The blower install had been done properly. Then the car's owner bolted on a set of great looking wheels wrapped in good looking but inexpensive rubber. On my first test drive, I couldn't get any of that supercharged sweetness to the ground. It was the perfect ride for parking in a Burger King parking lot on a Friday night. I tooled around on a Sunday drive, shaking my head that someone had spent five figures to get more power the right way, with a clean install, then wiped out the gains so thoroughly that the stock engine would likely have overwhelmed the tires. This got me thinking about the ways people ruin their quest for horsepower, either on the front end by not insisting on a clean install and paying the money for it, or on the back end with supplemental purchases like cheap tires or cheap gas. So I called three tuners, one focused on GM, one on Mopar, one on Ford, to find out what people should know about how to get the best power for their goals, and how to make sure they are able to use all that power. The first interview in this three-part series was with Blake Leonard at Top Speed Cincy in Cincinnati, Ohio, the second with Brandon Alsept at BA Motorsports in Milford, Ohio. This third and last interview is with Micah Doban at OST Dyno in Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania, a family business with more than 40 years of Mopar expertise specializing in Gen III Hemis, but tuning everything from land-speed cars and drag racers to Jeeps The interview has been edited for clarity and concision. Do people who come to OST generally know what they want? Probably 80% of the people who come in simply want more power with no particular ET goal [ET is a kind of bracket handicapped drag racing – ed.]. WhatÂ’s the best way to start a Mopar tune? The first thing is what people often skip, and that's to find a tuner or a shop. People will throw parts on their cars that the Internet said to, then go to a tuner who does things a different way, and [the tuner is] like ‘No we don't like to use these injectors, we don't like these parts.Â’ You have to find someone familiar with the parts that are on your car or that you're planning to put on your car. So having a goal and then finding a tuner who can help you with that goal is proper way to start. Exactly. And a lot of tuners have their own formula – and when I say tuner I mean someone that also does work to the cars.

Feds accuse Fiat Chrysler, UAW of conspiring to break labor laws

Wed, Jun 13 2018

DETROIT — Top officials of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and the United Auto Workers union conspired to violate U.S. labor laws, federal prosecutors alleged in a court document, saying a former executive at the automaker knew bribes paid to union leaders were designed to "grease the skids" in labor negotiations. U.S. Justice Department officials for the first time called the company and the union "co-conspirators" in a document related to a guilty plea agreed by former Fiat Chrysler director of employee relations Michael Brown. The document was filed with the U.S. District Court in Detroit on May 25. Its contents were reported by the Detroit News on Wednesday. Brown pleaded guilty to one count of concealing a felony. The plea agreement stated that he knew Fiat Chrysler executives authorized $1.5 million in improper payments and travel, liquor, cigars and other goods for UAW officials who served on the union's negotiating committee. Prosecutors say FCA executives paid UAW representatives to influence union business. including collective bargaining on contracts ratified in 2011 and 2015. The government contends money was run through the UAW-Chrysler National Training Center, via false charitable donations and training center credit cards. Fiat Chrysler Chief Executive Officer Sergio Marchionne has said in the past that the misconduct "had nothing whatsoever to do with the collective bargaining process" and the "egregious acts were neither known to nor sanctioned" by the company. Fiat Chrysler had no further comment Monday. Outgoing UAW President Dennis Williams told union leaders at a conference in Detroit on Monday "our leadership team had no knowledge of the misconduct — which involved former union members and former auto executives — until it was brought to our attention by the government." Brown pleaded guilty on May 25, according to court documents, and will be sentenced on Sept. 20. Five other people have pleaded guilty in the government's ongoing investigation into the UAW and Fiat Chrysler, including the wife of a late UAW official, two other former UAW employees, former Fiat Chrysler vice president Alphons Iacobelli and another former Fiat Chrysler employee.
