1985 Jeep Cj7 Base Sport Utility 2-door 4.2l on 2040-cars
North Franklin, Connecticut, United States
Engine:6 cyl 258
Used
Year: 1985
Drive Type: 4WD
Make: Jeep
Mileage: 3,000
Model: CJ
Warranty: Vehicle does NOT have an existing warranty
Trim: Basic
Frame-off restoration completed in 2012. Frame professionally sandblasted and painted. Rebuilt both axles (Dana 44 rear and AMC 30 front). New 3.53 gears, leaf springs and shocks. New Jasper engine (@3000 miles on it now). T 176 4 speed manual transmission. 1989 Wrangler tub, undercoated with Eastwood product and inside was Herculined. Professional paint job on the outside. Painless wiring kit. All new gauges. New gas tank, brakes, all stainless brake lines, fuel lines, even flexible brake lines are braided. 1" body lift, 1.5 inch shackle lift. 33" Pro Comp tires. Vintage seats with "CJ" logo (pictured). I used an HEI distributor, so no coil. All accessories (PS pump, alternator, starter, radiator, power brake booster) brand new. Even lower steering column is new. PSC hi performance steering box. Clearly, no expense was spared. Everything on this Jeep is either new or refurbished. Odometer: Before the restoration, the old Jeep had 126,000 miles. I used the best odometer I had, which stated 16,901. It now states 19,800 miles. So I have put @3000 miles on it since completion. This is one of the cleanest Jeeps you'll find. Not used off road, but she'd love to go :). Only a few minor issues: Gas gauge does not work. Worked for awhile, then quit. Small paint bubble on passenger's door (pictured), couple other nicks and scratches, nothing major. $20,000 invested in this project, reserve price is much less than that. If you're looking for a clean, tough CJ, look no further!

Chrysler recalling nearly 141k vehicles over electrical woes
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Software glitches that randomly illuminate warning lights and cause instrument cluster blackouts are forcing Chrysler to recall 140,800 vehicles, The Detroit News reports. The automaker is recalling 132,000 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokees, 91,559 of which are in the US. In addition to the Jeep recalls, Chrysler is adding 10,800 2014 Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 trucks to the list for similar problems.
Chrysler reportedly says, "Both events occurred infrequently and appeared to resolve themselves by tuning the vehicle's ignition off and then on."
Engineers discovered a problem with the anti-lock-braking system software that causes the instrument cluster display of the Grand Cherokee to illuminate warning lights and black out - even its ABS and electronic stability control systems are affected. To fix the Jeeps, Chrysler will update the vehicle's software.
Jeep's new Chip Away commercial has us hunting Al Pacino's back catalog
Tue, 19 Feb 2013Chrysler has done a pretty good job as of late turning its television commercials into pep talks or rallying cries, but for its first ad for the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee, it turned to Al Pacino's inspirational speech from the movie Any Given Sunday. In the movie, Pacino's character talks about how football is a game of inches, but the commercial, titled Chip Away, focuses more on the attention to detail that Jeep has exhibited on its updated flagship SUV.
Centering around the newest Grand Cherokee model, the luxurious $47,995 Summit trim level, the commercial shows off some of the hand-stitched leathers and real metal and wood accents found inside the cabin. Check out the new 60-second spot by scrolling below.
25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango SUVs recalled over brake feel
Mon, 10 Mar 2014Chrysler has announced that it is recalling over 25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from several markets over concerns about brake feel under hard braking. The affected models are from the 2012 and 2013 model years, although the actual dates of production aren't available. 18,700 are in the US, while 825 are in Canada, 530 are in Mexico and a further 5,200 outside of North America.
According to a statement, Chrysler was informed of the issue by a component supplier for the Ready Alert Braking system, which primes the brakes in anticipation of an emergency stop. A component in the system was restricting the flow of brake fluid too much.
As Chrysler is quick to point out, the way the brakes functioned was in compliance with regulations and there are no reported cases of drivers losing braking power. Instead, the issue rests with what Chrysler calls a pedal feel that "was not consistent with customer expectations." So it would seem Chrysler is being proactive and fixing a problem not because there's a legal issue at work, but simply because it doesn't feel the way the manufacturer wants it to. Well done.
