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. It’s 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 Sam’s 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.

Train derailment leaves Jeep, GMC, Chevy pickups damaged in Nevada
Thu, Jul 11 2019An unfortunate train derailment is causing some inevitable delays for pickup truck customers west of Nevada. Yesterday morning, 33 train cars derailed in Lincoln County, and the cargo that was being transported consisted of new Jeep Gladiators and Wranglers along with Chevrolet Silverados and GMC Sierras, judging from the photos released by the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office. The train derailment also caused the adjacent road to be closed, and local law enforcement recommends the area is to be avoided as long as it takes to clean it all up. In the photos, damaged Jeeps and other trucks sit either on their wheels or shiny-side-down as the incident is being assessed. Available information says there were thankfully no personal injuries, but itÂ’s not likely any of these trucks will end up in customer hands, even with a significant discount. Pre-registration transport damage, significant or not, has often resulted in scrapping complete vehicles so that manufacturers can steer clear of liability issues. Hooniverse.com, which also reported on the incident, notes a couple of interesting things. Firstly, the upended Gladiator seems to have a pretty sturdy support structure for its glasshouse, thanks to its new rollbars. Another matter is that the GM trucks, also pictured, wear discreet and temporary transport steel wheels instead of fancier items, perhaps to deter thieves eager to grab a shiny set from trucks on their way to the dealer. Still, itÂ’s a shame these vehicles could never fulfill their hauling purposes in the hands of new owners. Perhaps the manufacturers can at least use the damage for data-gathering purposes.

Baby Jeep to join Renegade in FCA's plan for new Italian-built models
Tue, Nov 27 2018FCA is boosting its European production, introducing new models that will be built in currently under-utilized manufacturing facilities. Among the new models is a new small Jeep, smaller than the current Renegade, as Automotive News reports. FCA's Mike Manley mentioned the entry-level Jeep model earlier this year, also saying that the vehicle is targeted to European and possibly Latin American customers; in the summer, Autocar placed the launch date in 2022. The new "baby" Jeep would be made in the same factory in Pomigliano, Italy, as the small Fiat Panda, which is a top seller in Italy. The current generation Panda was introduced in 2011; if it gets a replacement in 2022, it could possibly share a platform with the Jeep model — or, the Jeep could be an eventual outright replacement for the Panda. One of Fiat's earlier core products, the Punto hatchback, was canned in August, and that production capacity will be used to make the Jeep Compass instead, at the Renegade-producing Melfi factory in southern Italy. The Compass has not previously been built in Europe. The Fiat model portfolio would be shrunk to just the 500 model family and the Panda — the 500 would also be FCA's key electric vehicle offered in Europe. It is not yet clear whether the electric 500 would be made in Turin, Italy, or in Poland; Turin might also get a Giardiniera-badged wagon version of the refreshed 500. As for the Alfa Romeo brand, it is set to gain an even bigger SUV model than the Stelvio, based on the Maserati Levante's platform. The Levante's sales have suffered recently in China, but Maserati does have light in the horizon: The Alfieri 2+2 grand tourer is still in the cards, with a launch expected for 2020 and both a convertible and an electrified version planned to follow. The Alfieri would be made in Modena, Italy, according to Automotive News' sources. None of these plans namedrop the storied Lancia brand, which has been shrunk to just the Ypsilon hatchback, based on the same platform as the current 500 and Panda. Despite that, the Ypsilon was again the second-bestselling car in Italy after the Panda in October. It is unlikely that FCA will be able to ignore this, but it is just as unlikely that any development money will be afforded to come up with a replacement for the Ypsilon, which is as similarly old as the Panda. Perhaps official announcements expected on Thursday will also clarify what will happen to Lancia.
