 Up for auction is a very clean 86 Jeep CJ 7.  I have put a lot of money in this Jeep over the past year and due to some unforeseen circumstances I have to sell it.  I hope it will find a new owner that will cherish it as much as I have.

Little history on the Jeep.  I purchased it from the original owners son.  He said is parents got it new and mainly used it as a tow vehicle.  He had it for a few years and used it to commute and minor trail driving.  He said the origial seats broke so he installed some Mastercraft Racing seats.  Those were the first thing I replaced.  He told me he loved the Jeep but had issues getting it to pass smog and kept taking it to different shops with no luck so he decided to sell it.  Its been in southern California most of its life.

When I got it, the Jeep was in great shape, besides the seats.  There were 2 large CB antennas on the rear and the paint was faded all over with the clear coat starting to peal off on the hood.  It had some Rancho Shocks and BFG tires.  It was a good running Jeep, just ran real rich.  I replaced the distributor and carburator with new replacements.  Not re manufactured units, but NEW.  I also added a MSD ignition box and coil.  Replaced the O2 sensor, CTS, and EGR valve.  With a little adjusting the Jeep passed the CA emissions test with ease.  Then it went up hill from there.

I started with the Axles, The rear was the stock Model 20.  Early production 1986.  I know they were weak.  I swapped the gears to 4.10 and added a Detroit Locker and 1 piece axles with all new bearings and seals.  The front was also swapped with 4.10 gears and a locker also.  I then added a 4" lift kit with ProComp MX6 adjustable shocks all the way around.  I purchased some 15x8 REV steel wheels and 33x12.50R15 Kumho Mud tires to top off the lift.  I drove it around a bit then decided to have it repainted.

The body was stripped down and all the trim, glass, door parts and everything that could be removed taken off for a cleaner job.  I knew I was replacing the factory tire carrier so I had the body shop weld the factory holes to the original tire carrier and the CB antennas.  The body and frame were rust free and in great shape.  While the Jeep was at the shop getting done I stated ordering parts.  I decieded since I was doing a 4500 dollar paint job on the Jeep, I might as well replace all the parts that looked worn.  All the rubber parts are new.  I swapped most of the chrome trim with all black parts.  Weather stripping was all new.  I found a 95 Wrangler family roll bar to swap out the factory one.  New deluxe carped, bestop front seats, new dash pad, all new door hardware and trim.  Leather door panels.  VDP sound bar with the 6 speaker system and map lights.  Pioneer Bluetooth in dash radio with Pandora.  All exterior lights are new, with front halo LED and 6000K hid bulbs.  Thousands of dollars later the Jeep was back from the shop and I started assembling it. 

Front and rear bumpers were replaced.  Rear is a ball bearing tire carrier mounted to the frame with a hitch.  Front is a stamped steal Smittybuilt unit.  I had all the windows tinted when the glass was out of the Jeep.  The top was repainted also.  All the dash lights were replaced with SMD LED bulbs for brighter lighting at night.  The flares were all replaced with new units.  Front calipers, rotors, bearings, and pads are all new.  Rear Shoes drums and hardware are all new.  Has stainless brake lines front and rear.  Aluminum radiator with electric fans from a Ford Contour that are wired to a 190 degree switch sitting in the thermostat housing.  Always runs cool, even in the 107 degree weather we were having for the past few weeks in Socal.

I know there is a lot of items I have not mentioned on the Jeep.  It is a great running Jeep that walks up rocks like nothing.  It looks better then new.  The body shop floated the whole Jeep to take the factory stamping marks out.  I do not want to sell it.  I poured thousands of dollars into this Jeep with high quality replacement parts.  Invoices so high I could have bought a Rubicon.  I have always loved the CJ body style and still do.  I am not proud to sell it, just forced. 

Will show to anyone interested before close of Auction. Sold AS IS

I have added some links to YouTube for videos of the Jeep.  My Father has a 85 Jeep that hew was building at the same time that might be listed also.

Put a mustache on your Jeep this Movember for charity

Wed, Nov 2 2016

Move over Lyft drivers, Jeep is getting in on the automotive mustache game. And it's for a good cause. The company announced that for the month of November, it will sell giant, bushy, black mustaches for Jeep vehicles through the Jeep Gear website and at dealers. The mustache is made by Carstache and costs $49.99, with all proceeds going to the Movember Foundation. The foundation supports improvements in men's health, and takes its name from the trend of growing mustaches in November. We would also like to point out that the product description says you shouldn't drive over 40 miles per hour with the mustache in place. So keep the 'stache wearing to your own face when traveling at highway speeds. Now if you don't have a Jeep on which you can put a mustache, well, you could probably put it on whatever car you have since it installs with some rubber-coated wires that thread through the grille. But if you really want a Jeep with a mustache, the company is running a contest in which you can post a photo of your mustache to Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #JeepStacheContest for a chance to win a new Renegade. The winner will be the entry with the most creative, original and high-quality mustache. This contest is also an opportunity to help out Movember Foundation a little bit more. Jeep will donate $1 for every post with the hashtag "#JeepStache" up to $15,000. The contest runs until November 30, as does Jeep's donation program. Related Video:

These three automotive Lego kits deserve your suppoort

Sat, Mar 25 2017

Lego has been quite good to car enthusiasts over the past few years. We've seen traditional kits for the classic VW Microbus, Mini Cooper, and the Caterham 620R, as well as an elaborate Technic kit for the 911 GT3 RS. But why stop there? The Lego Ideas page, which allows users to submit ideas with the chance to see their kits reach production, has many more cool car kits we'd love to see. Check them out below, and be sure to log on to vote for them. If a submission hits 10,000 votes, it is considered for production. That's how we got that Caterham kit, so it's worth your time to show your support. Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 This is a submission aimed at becoming one of Lego's Speed Champions kits. These are very small mini-figure scale car models, and the series has included the Ford GT, Audi R18 Le Mans racer, and more. This kit features a tiny version of the Peugeot 205 Turbo 16, a Group B rally racer that gave Peugeot World Rally Championship titles two years in a row. The kit has a well-executed version of the car and its massive rear spoiler on the hatch. It also comes with a big dirt crest for it to fly over, along with amazed spectators on the sidelines. Porsche 911 Turbo 930 We love the GT3 RS Lego kit, but we think it's a little lonely as the only Porsche kit available. Such an impressive Porsche deserves an impressive companion, like this 911 Turbo. It's the 930 version, which is arguably the most famous classic 911 with its turbocharged power, whale-tail wing, and scary driving dynamics thanks to considerable turbo lag and rear-engine handling characteristics. This model is quite large at 1:10 scale, and comes with a detailed interior and exterior. The best part is the remote-control components underneath that allow the car to be driven. Jeep Wrangler JK Moving off the beaten path again, we have this highly detailed Wrangler kit. Actually, we have two kits, as the creator designed both two-door and four-door versions. They both feature removable hard tops, detailed interiors, and big tires. They also come with an assortment of off-road accessories such as auxiliary lights, an off-road jack, winch, gas can, roof rack, and off-road bumper. You can also find various fluid reservoirs and engine details under the opening hood.

Stellantis reveals STLA Large platform with EV and ICE support

Fri, Jan 19 2024

Hot on the heels of a Jeep Wagoneer S teaser and photos of the prototype next-generation Dodge Charger (or Challenger), comes a reveal and details of what will likely underpin both of them: the STLA Large platform. It's one of multiple Stellantis flexible architectures that will be the basis of its upcoming electric cars, and apparently internal combustion ones, too. Stellantis says the STLA Large platform will be for D- and E-segment cars, crossovers and SUVs. In other words, it will be for midsize and large vehicles. For reference, lengths supported will be from 187.6 to 201.8 inches, and width will range from 74.7 to 79.9 inches. It will be highly flexible, too, with Stellantis claiming significant amounts of adjustability in overhangs, wheelbase, suspension placement and powertrain arrangement. The powertrain flexibility is quite impressive. Front-, rear- and all-wheel-drive layouts will be supported. Single- and dual-motor layouts will be on offer. Internal combustion will be available, too, either on its own or as a hybrid. Apparently engines can be fitted either longitudinally or transversely, too. Battery packs with between 85 and 118 kWh of capacity will be offered, with Stellantis claiming that sedan-style vehicles could have a range of up to 500 miles. The packs will also be available in 400- and 800-volt designs. Stellantis noted also that the platform can "easily accept future energy storage technologies when they reach production readiness." This seems to hint that the company is looking at different battery chemistries and maybe even solid-state batteries that could be added more easily in the future. Furthermore, the platform is designed to handle impressive output. Stellantis says that some models on the platform will have 0-to-62 mph times in the 2-second range. Limited-slip differentials for improved power delivery and wheel-end disconnects for reduced mechanical drag are also on the table for this platform. All of these details fit well with the information previously given for the concept Dodge Charger Daytona Banshee and Jeep Wagoneer S. The former was previewed with both battery voltage architectures and a wide range of electric powertrains with between 456 and 670 horsepower depending on specification and upgrades. And that's just for the 400-volt system; the 800-volt option wasn't detailed. We've also seen photos of the Charger chassis seemingly with provisions for gas engines, likely versions of the Hurricane I6.
