1985 Jeep CJ7 Heavily modified for the ultimate trail rig This Jeep went through a complete frame-up build with over $40,000 invested. The intent was to build a stout rock crawler that not only can run the trails such as Hammers, Moab, Dusy or Rubicon with ease, but also be driven home from the trail. I have had this Jeep for over 18 years and it has been an incredible vehicle that has taken the family on amazing trips. Its been in a number of magazines over the years and was featured on the cover of JP Magazine. Here are a few videos of the Jeep http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zsn2dWsIZT8&feature=youtu.be http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-czsIYuoA4&feature=youtu.be Specs are below - 1985 CJ7 (VIN:
1JCCF87E9FT079833) Engine: 1995 4.0 High Output out of a Grand Cherokee Transmission: New Process 435 4-speed with granny gear. A
custom tube cross member was fabricated to maximize strength, protection, and
ground clearance. Transfercase: Dana 300
with Tera Low 4:1, Curry twin shifters, and Dana-20 yokes Crawl Ratio: 130:1 Axles and wheels Rear Axle: Custom made Dynatrac Dana 60 made specifically for this Jeep and is stuffed with 4.88 gears and a Detroit Locker. Four X Doctor Dif Guard provides extra protection. Front Axle: Custom made Dynatrac Dana 44 with 4.88 and a Detroit Locker. The shafts are custom Moser Alloy Shafts with CTM U-Joints for superior strength; Chromalloy Tie rod with 1-ton ends flipped on top of the knuckles completes the front axle. Four X Doctor Dif Guard provides extra protection. Wheels: (5) Weld Aluminum 15X10 modified by OMF for the Beadlocks. IROK 36X13.5 (Bias Ply) Suspension The springs are custom made by National Spring. In order for National Spring to make them, I gave 3 weights of the Jeep, (1) front weight, (2) rear weight, and (3) total weight of the Jeep. Because the springs are made specifically for the jeep; the goal of maximum articulation, ride height along with a smooth ride were all reached. Front Springs - Shackle reversal for improved ride and the springs are mounted on top of the axle. In addition, the springs are 10.5"-longer then stock for improved articulation and ride quality. Lastly, the front axle was moved forward 3 to increase the overall wheelbase of the Jeep. Rear Springs Springs are 1.5 longer for improved ride/articulation and are mounted on top of the axle for maximum ground clearance. The longer springs allowed room to move the axle back 1.5 to further increase the wheelbase. Because the axle was moved back, a custom 23-Gallon Aero Tank was fabricated. The tank has a notch to give the Dynatrac Dana 60 housing room during extreme articulation to not hit the gas tank. In addition, the Aero gas tank has a reinforced bottom to take abuse. Lastly, to keep axle wrap under control, a Sams HD Traction bar was installed and mounted to a custom heavy duty cross member. Wheelbase: Front Axel moved forward 3, rear moved back 1.5 Frame: Front half of the frame is completely boxed with 0.25 plate. This was accomplished by removing the engine, plating the frame, and reinstalling the engine to ensure proper plate coverage Miscellaneous: On Board Air I installed a York AC Compressor that serves as the air compressor. The sidebars serve double duty - protection and air storage tanks. Because of the ample air storage, the jeep can run air tools such as grinders, cut off wheels and such. On Board Welder A secondary dedicated 160 AMP alternator was installed to power the welder separate from the one used for charging the battery, meaning the Jeep has two alternators. In addition, I installed a control box to accept the welding leads (stinger and ground). A Rubicon Express hand throttle controls the RPM of the engine (which controls the amperage to the stinger) Full Cage by Four X Doctor. The front seats are tied into cage along with two cross bars, one just above the dash and another just behind the front seats to provide maximum protection for occupants and mounting points for the four point racing harness. Flexalite Aluminum radiator with electric fan. A switch in side the cab allows for turning the fan on and off. This is a great feature for water crossings or wanting the engine to heat up faster in cold climates. Rear tire carrier holds a full size spare tire and is equipped with a Hilift jack. IN addition, the HAM radio antenna is mounted to the carrier. Underbody rock lights for night runs on the trail. The entire ground area is lit up during night runs. Warn HS9500i BesTop soft top with YJ half doors Custom 26-Gallon Aero Tank notched for clearance for the D60 housing VDO Gauges Rubicon Express Hand Throttle Four-X Doc. Diff guards Dual battery tray Flowmaster muffler TJ Fender Flares High Back adjustable seats 5 point racing seat belts 1 body lift Inside tub completely covered with Durabak for easy cleaning and durability CB Ham Radio Many more mods.

Abandoned Jeep found under twenty feet of snow in Donner Pass
Tue, Mar 14 2017You guys have heard of Donner Pass, right? The dreaded mountain pass in the northern Sierra Nevadas out in California where an ill-fated group of mid-19th century pioneers got lost and fell to cannibalism to survive? Of course you have. Well, it seems that the pass has claimed another victim. It's not a pack of overly-optimistic farmers from Illinois this time, but a sad and lonely Jeep Cherokee. Last Thursday, the California Highway Patrol base at Truckee, California, posted a picture of the rear end of a forlorn-looking XJ with a mangled rear end buried under a veritable mountain of snow and ice. Discovered by a CalTrans truck-mounted snowblower around Serene Lakes near Donner Summit, a CHP representative told Jalopnik they believe the old white XJ has been sitting there since the beginning of winter. More than twenty feet of snow and ice are piled atop the Jeep, a winter's worth of snowplow leavings. Thankfully, the CHP found no bodies or anything else untoward in the XJ when they were arrived. CHP Truckee suggested that the Jeep's owner left it there, perhaps after a breakdown, and left it when successive layers of snow and ice entombed it. Since it's not blocking traffic and doesn't pose a safety hazard, CalTrans decided to leave the Jeep where they found it. The XJ's owner hasn't been identified yet. Hopefully they're not in too much of a hurry to get their Jeep back, because that thing isn't moving until late spring at the earliest.

2019 Chevy Blazer vs Honda Passport, other midsize crossovers: How they compare
Wed, Nov 28 2018The two-row midsize crossover market is a sizable one that just keeps growing. The two newest additions being the 2019 Chevy Blazer and the 2019 Honda Passport, additions we just recently drove. As such, it seemed like a good time to see how their numbers compare with the veterans of the segment: Ford Edge, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Hyundai Santa Fe and Nissan Murano. In this comparison to see where it lands in the numbers game, we'll take a look at everything including power, torque, towing, ground clearance, passenger room, cargo space, fuel economy and pricing. Cue the chart. Powertrain The Passport only has one engine option, Honda's trusty 3.5-liter V6. You can find this engine in both the Pilot and Ridgeline, and we like it in all its applications. But if you're looking for something more affordable or more frugal, you're out of luck. The Passport is one of just two that offer just one engine option. Most of the others have two choices, and Jeep even offers three. Compared with similar engine options, the Passport is pretty middling. The Ford Edge ST's turbo V6 makes the most power and torque at 335 ponies and 380 pound-feet. Next up is the Blazer, the only other to break 300 horsepower, and then the 295-horsepower Grand Cherokee. The Passport does beat the V6 Murano and the turbocharged Santa Fe, though. 2019 Chevrolet Blazer View 37 Photos For vehicles with smaller engines, the Edge wins again with its 250-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder. The Chevy Blazer is next, but at 193 horsepower, it's barely ahead of the 185-horsepower Santa Fe. The Jeep Grand Cherokee has a couple of powertrain aces, though. It's the only vehicle available with a V8, and it makes an impressive 360 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque. There's even a turbodiesel model with 240 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, the most twist of the group. The Grand Cherokee is also the choice if you want to tow much. The V6 models will pull 6,200 pounds, and the V8 and diesel can handle 7,200 pounds. Add 200 more pounds to the diesel if it only has rear drive. 2019 Honda Passport View 19 Photos When it comes to fuel economy, the front-drive four-cylinder Edge and Santa Fe are tied for the best, with the all-wheel-drive Edge getting one more mpg on the all-wheel-drive Santa Fe on the highway. The Murano comes up next.
Federal investigations about safety of rear-mounted gas tanks is nothing new
Sun, 09 Jun 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Chrysler are currently making waves in our daily news feeds due to a disagreement over the safety of a few million Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokee models. Specifically, NHTSA has asked Chrysler to recall the SUVs because of the location of their fuel tanks, but you may be interested to know that requests such as this are nothing new.
Besides the two Jeep models, NHTSA has launched investigations over the years in such models as the Ford Crown Victoria (and its police-car counterpart), GM pickups built between 1972 and 1987, and rather famously the Ford Pinto.
Understanding how automakers and NHTSA have dealt with fuel-tank-safety concerns in the past may offer a better understanding of how Chrysler and the government agency will settle their current dispute. Check out the complete article from The Detroit News here.
