1976 Jeep Cj7 Cj-7 - Frame Off Resto-mod on 2040-cars
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.

Autoblog Minute: Wrangler Pickup, Triumph Fined, Cherokee Production Moves
Fri, Sep 4 2015Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore reports on highlights from the week in automotive news on this edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Triumph Motorcycles in violation of the Safety Act, Jeep looks to adjust its vehicle production strategy, and a Wrangler pickup may soon be be produced in Toledo. I'm senior editor Greg Migliore, and this is your Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. Triumph Motorcycles was hit with a $2.9-million fine because of a failure to submit safety documents to NHTSA in a timely fashion. An investigation of 1,300 bikes in September of 2014 led to this finding. Other violations were then discovered, like the late reporting of quarterly recall completion rates, and Triumph's failure to supply warranty data. Fines for these violations may seem harsh but U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said: "Manufacturers must comply with their reporting obligations. The law requires it, and public safety demands it. When companies fail to meet those obligations, we will hold them accountable." In FCA news, it seems that production of the Jeep Cherokee will be moved from the Toledo plant to a nearby state. Automotive News first reported on this adding that Jeep may produce a pickup alongside Wrangler to fill the void left by Cherokee. Jeep declined to comment on this news. Speculation surrounding Jeep's production plans depends on the automaker's ongoing negotiations with the UAW. Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to check out my full recap this Saturday, including details on Ford's performance Fusion. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore.

FCA inline-six rumored to be real, headed for Jeep Wagoneer
Thu, Dec 20 2018In September, Allpar reported that that clues being dropped at Fiat- Chrysler headquarters, in the carmaker's factories, and on engineer resumes pointed to the development of an inline six-cylinder engine. The site has just proclaimed the rumor is reality, writing that the straight-six, "turbocharged to meet or beat 5.7 Hemi power ratings, with a smoother torque curve, is on the way." The motor's first outing is expected to be either the next-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee, debuting perhaps next year, or the Jeep Wagoneer, debuting in 2020 or 2021. "Tornado" is the purported codename for the power plant said to be just under three liters in displacement, expanding the family begun with the Global Medium Engine 2.0-liter turbo codenamed Hurricane. Engine bay constraints and a long use horizon mean engineers won't simply add two more cylinders to the GME, however. Allpar says the brief is to keep the Tornado GME-T6 — the alphanumeric for "turbocharged six" — no more than three inches longer than the Tigershark 2.4-liter four-cylinder. That means "major design changes" that could include a space-saving head, more closely spaced cylinders, and no cylinder liners. An FCA division called Comau could be called on for its "SmartSpray" plasma lining technology. Allpar muses that the standard version of the engine for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram could get a single twin-scroll turbocharger. Performance trims for Alfa Romeo and Maserati could get different heads and maybe twin turbos, an SRT version might also get both those tweaks. History shows that the Italian versions would make changes to the block, as well. Even so, the Tornado would be less expensive than any Ferrari-supplied V6. A straight-six would put FCA in company with current adopters BMW and Mercedes-Benz, future users like Jaguar, and perhaps Aston Martin. The engine would span the widest range of use cases in the U.S. carmaker's portfolio, though. Potential applications include being a base engine for Ram trucks, serving double duty as a base engine and 5.7-liter Hemi replacement for the Dodge Charger and Challenger, working in the high-end Jeeps, and as a properly hot trim — with Ferrari-designed heads — in the luxury Italian sports cars. The Alfa Romeo Giulia begs for just such motivation to fill the gap between the 280-hp, $42,695 Ti Sport RWD and the 505-hp, $73,700 Giulia Quadrifoglio RWD. And a twin-turbo inline-six in a Maserati Alfieri would stack up nicely with the Germans.
