Beautiful cosmetic and mechanical restoration of a pristine, rust-free, unmodified and original, highway-driven (very limited off-road use), desert California (20 years) and desert Utah (10 years) based 1983 Jeep CJ7. Don't let the mileage intimidate you... since the restoration this beauty drives as new. The key to a great build is to start with a great foundation like this one. Complete, original and rust-free is way more important than miles. And It was done as a labor of love by a friend of mine who planned to keep it forever. Alas, plans change and he has asked me to sell it for him (I'm the eBay go-to guy in my neighborhood).

Below is a link that allows you to get details through the VIN number...

And here are the details on this one (in no particular order)...

* Beautiful fresh paint inside and out (body was entirely disassembled, prepped, painted, and then reassembled with new parts)

* Matching Armor-Coat on the floorboards and bed

* New windshield frame and window

* New nuts & bolts throughout (mostly stainless steel)

* New Bestop bikini top

* New mirrors

* Very cool stainless steel hood hinges and vent from Olympic Offroad

* Fresh undercoating on fender wells

* Original 15x7 Jeep spoke rims

* Custom LED tail lights

* Newer 258cid long-block

* Cool new cast 4.2L valve cover

* Stainless steel air intake

* Five speed manual transmission with newer clutch

* Dana 300 transfer case

* Trac-Lok limited slip rear differential

* Power steering with tilt wheel

* Power brakes (fresh pads and rotor in front, new shoes in rear)

* New battery tray

* New water pump/thermostat/serpentine belt

* All new radiator & heater hoses

* New windshield washer hoses and pump

* New gauges (other than speedo) and indicator lights

* New stainless steel gauge surround

* Very comfy new seats and seat frames

* Custom, very sturdy rear bumper/receiver/swing-away spare tire carrier (all bolt-on)

* Newer shocks (Ranch RS5000's in the rear)

* New shift boots

* Custom machined dash control knobs

* Original owners manual and maintenance schedule

I know I'm forgetting some additional goodies. Definitely look closely at my pics. And I also have pics of the building process... please ask me for them.

Mechanically, the running gear is excellent. Everything works like new and has been restored/upgraded where necessary. What's cool is that it has been kept all stock underneath. It's built to be a reliable, practical daily driver that will appreciate in value if you take care of it. I've driven many classic CJ's and I'm struck by what a tight, rattle-free, smooth, civilized driver this one is. Personally, I think it drives as good as or better than a new one did in 1983. Just my two cents.

Cosmetically, the owner took some liberties (seats, knobs, paint color, stainless steel, tail lights). But they are done to a very high standard and reversible if you choose. Personally, I'd leave them just the way they are and enjoy them. They certainly contribute to it being a safe, cool (as in awesome), practical and comfortable driver. And I think these tasteful upgrades make it even more unique.

My name is Chris and I am happy to answer your questions. Please call me at 435-669-1470. I also have tons of additional pics that show every nook and cranny. Send me an email address and I will get them out promptly. This beautiful CJ7 is located in the dry, desert community of St. George, Utah (about 100 miles north of Las Vegas). You may want to consider flying in and driving home. I would be happy to help facilitate that. Good luck and good bidding.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel and SRT climb onto stage

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

This is indeed a case of not knowing how much we wanted something until it arrived. We've been big fans of the Jeep Grand Cherokee ever since the new model arrived a couple of years ago, and while the update you see here might seem just a slight refresh, it's actually much more than that.
For starters, the 2014 Grand Cherokee marks the return of a diesel model here in the States, with Chrysler's new 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 under the hood, churning out 240 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Of course, all of the Grand Cherokee's usual off-road goodies are on hand, with moderate tweaks to make it an even more capable vehicle when the going gets rough. Both the gasoline-fed 3.6-liter V6 and 5.7-liter V8 get the new eight-speed auto, as well.
The high-performance Grand Cherokee SRT also trudges on into the new model year, with very subtle tweaks found underneath the aggressive, slightly redesigned sheetmetal. The 6.4-liter Hemi V8 also gets eight-speed gearing, which Chrysler says will improve not only 0-60 times, but mid-range performance as well. Bring it on, we say.

Jeep Wrangler Polar Edition coming to America

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

Jeep originally took the wraps off its Polar Edition Wrangler at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, and at the time, we figured this would be a Europe-only affair. (Perfectly fine, since we US customers haven't exactly been lacking special edition Wrangler models over the years.) But now, and as Jeep says, just in time for winter, the automaker has announced that the ice cold Wrangler will be hitting North American showrooms in November.
Based on the Wrangler Sahara model, the Polar Edition can be had in either two- or four-door body styles, with a unique Hydro Blue paint job as the featured color. (Buyers can also opt for less-special Billet Silver and Bright White hues.) Other exterior enhancements include a body-colored hardtop, 18-inch gloss black wheels, the Powerdome (power bulge) hood, and unique decals all around the body.
But the Polar Edition isn't just about some paint and stickers. Jeep has fitted this Wrangler with a Dana 30 front axle and Dan 44 rear axle, as well as the Trac-Lok anti-spin electronic rear differential. Like all US-spec Wranglers, the Polar Edition uses Jeep's 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, producing 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. Both a six-speed manual and five-speed automatic transmission are available.
