1981 Jeep CJ7 Laredo Custom. The jeep has been in storage since late 2008. I had done a good deal of restoration and had it painted Ford Chrome yellow. I was in a serious accident and it has been stored ever since. I have decided that I will not finish it as I had planned. It has a Jeep 360 with a street cam and a 727 automatic transmission. The motor and trans is professionally built and I have just under 5,000.00 in the motor and 2,000.00 in the trans. The motor and trans has about 4,800 miles on them. It comes with the bikini top shown in the pics and also has a fiberglass hard top with steel doors (black) and a tan soft top. The soft top is probably in rough shape but the frame is in tact. Neither top has been on the jeep in many years but I believe most if not all the hardware is here. It has the original seats which need to be recovered but also has after market seats. There is one of each in it as shown in the pics. I was taking the original seats out to be recovered just before the accident. I had the old gas drained and new points, condenser and coil put on it. It runs good as ever but does need to be fine tuned and run some. It was built to have 400HP and still be a good daily driver with mpg around 16. It is very dirty from being in storage and I am not able to clean as I would like. I am trying to get a friend to come do "some" cleaning but so far he hasn't made it by. The pics show that the interior is dirty but don't show that the exterior is just as dirty. I did give it a light wash as best as I was able and it will clean up pretty good. A while back a tree fell on the building it was in and some stuff fell on the hood and scratched it and the finders. I suspect that the new owner may have it painted anyway unless your ok with yellow. I put no value on the paint job. Also one of the tree limbs pushed the passenger side window out of the hard top. It is not damaged and the rubber seal is ok. It can be put back in but it will take someone with stronger hands that I have at present. As it sits the Jeep is ready to drive but it does need cleaning and your personal touch to get it like you want it. It has to go. I set the buy it now at what I believe all the components are worth as a whole. There are some boxes of stuff I had bought for it that will go with it. Please ask questions as I deal with some memory issues and questions will help me give more details. If you use paypal any fees they charge me will be added to buyers cost at closing. Also this is for sale locally and I will end this early if needed.

Thanks for looking and Good Luck!!

A added note, the pics may or my not show it but the valve covers appear to be rusted over. I polished a small area with a dry shop cloth and it actually came clean. I believe these can be cleaned up. Again the whole thing needs a good cleaning. And to make it clear. I'm selling as is. Look it over good and ask questions. I have nothing to hide and it has to find a new home.

Jeep rear-mounted fuel tank controversy

Hank the Autodog takes a ride in the long-term 2014 Jeep Cherokee

Wed, May 13 2015

Autoblog readers, meet Hank, my 40-pound, six-year-old Shar Pei and Staffordshire Terrier mix, a combination also known as a Pit Bull. Pit Bulls and car enthusiasts have a lot in common. They're a little intimidating to your average man on the street, but at the end of the day all they want to do is feel the breeze in their ears. Dogs who love car rides are the ultimate enthusiasts, and Hank especially is a canine connoisseur of cars. There is nothing Hank likes more than to hop in and go for a ride. With an owner like me, he has developed refined tastes when it comes to cars. As our long-term Jeep Cherokee is about to leave the Autoblog Garage, and since the weather is warming back up, it's the perfect time to give our Autodog one last spin in his favorite Jeep. We wanted to see what a car ride looks like from a dog's perspective. Luckily, we have a cache of GoPros and plenty of cars on hand to give Hank one last chance to go for a window-down ride. After many pets, treats, and drives around town, we put together this video montage of Hank's best day ever.

2018 Jeep Wrangler four-cylinder fuel economy revealed

Wed, May 9 2018

Fuel economy numbers for the 2018 Jeep Wrangler with the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder have finally been announced by the EPA. In the city, the two-door model gets 23 mpg, and the four-door Unlimited gets 22. Highway fuel economy for the two-door is 25 mpg and 24 for the four-door. Combined for the two-door and four-door is 24 and 22 respectively. These aren't Prius numbers, but they do make the four-cylinder Wrangler the most efficient version of the off-roader so far. The rest of the Wrangler range with V6 power gets 20 mpg combined, with the exception of the manual four-door, which gets 19. The most efficient V6 models in the city are the automatic models, which, regardless of length, get 18 mpg. On the highway, the best V6 is the manual two-door, which manages 25 mpg, and only loses 1 mpg in the city to the automatic. The question is, is the improved fuel economy worth the price premium of the four-cylinder? The automatic-only four-cylinder engine is an extra $1,000 over a V6 automatic, and $3,000 over a V6 manual. And when looking at the annual fuel cost estimates at fueleconomy.gov, you might only save $50 to $100 each year. The problem being that, while it's more efficient, it also demands premium fuel that the V6 doesn't. So it could be quite a while before the upfront cost is recouped. But if you want a Wrangler that's a little nicer to the planet, it's probably the way to go, plus you get an extra 35 pound-feet of torque over the V6, even if it means sacrificing nearly 20 horsepower.
