1984 Jeep CJ7 Laredo

This 3 owner 1984 Jeep CJ7 Laredo is a beautiful classic and original rust free California Jeep.  It spent the last 20 years in the desert of California before I brought it back with me to Colorado in February.  The engine is incredible and has so much power that I can easily travel 70mph driving over the mountain passes here in Colorado comfortably.  The custom Rear Dana 60 Differential can withstand the power of the V8 all day long!  It is also set up to perfectly to conquer the most difficult terrain possible.  This CJ7 Laredo is ready to be driven daily, on the weekends or in the mountains and I wouldn't be afraid to drive this Jeep anywhere.

Engine:
Rebuilt 1990 Chevrolet 350 5.7L V8 with Throttle Body Injection.  The Jeep runs incredible, sounds fantastic and it doesn't matter if it is cold or hot outside it fires right up thanks to it being fuel injected.  It runs great, is super peppy and doesn't leak any fluids.  I recently upgraded the radiator with a new Aluminum unit and relocated the overflow radiator tank closer to it since there is no longer a starter solenoid on the passenger fender.  I also replaced the spark plugs last week.  

Transmission/Transfer Case:
700R4 Automatic Transmission with overdrive is excellent.  It shifts great, without play, grinding, slipping or crunching.  It has a rachet shifter on it that makes shifting super easy.  The transfer case is a Dana 300 and has a small drip.  It easily goes into gear high and low range 4wheel drive. 

Drivetrain/suspension:
The Jeep drives excellent with the lift.  The front suspension is a reverse shackle conversion that makes driving enjoyable especially with a lifted Jeep.  The sway bar has disconnects which is great for off road driving.  Each leaf spring has U bolt skid plates so you will never have to worry about breaking a u bolt.  The drivetrain is perfectly set up with ARB Air locking differentials, 4.11 gears and chromoly shafts and heavy duty ujoints.  The power steering is super sensitive and drives like a Jeep but seems to drive easy to me.  The power brake booster needs replacement.  The brakes work ok but don't have much boost at startup however after it is driven and warmed up it is much better.  I have driven this Jeep 600 miles without issues. 

Interior Controls/Switches:
Everything in the interior works great except the factory tach and intermittently the windshield wipers.  Sometimes I'm noticing on the speedometer the ebrake light appearing at startup then goes away after driving a bit.  There is an aftermarket tach on the steering column that works great.  The sony CD player/radio is in the center console.  There are front dash speakers and rear 6x9s by the roll bar.  The Tuffy console adds security however I do not have the key for it.  The fuel, speedometer, heater odometer, blinkers, horn, lights etc all work as well.  

Paint/Body/Rust:
The paint is the original Black and original Laredo Striping.  The paint is beautiful and very reflective, shiny and lots of luster but still 30 years old and has minor blemishes.  The hood has some small dings, a line crease from where it was rested on the windshield frame at one point.  The rear fender flares are a custom fit and from a Jeep Wrangler YJ.  The Jeep is rust free except for some minor surface rust spots on the windshield frame hinges etc.  It also has some rock chips on the windshield frame.  The frame is rust free and has never been repaired.  Behind the passenger rear flare there is some cracking, it is hard to tell if it was body work at one point or if from flexing the body off road but I am unsure exactly.

Interior:
The interior is nice, the front captains chairs are aftermarket black vinyl.  They are only a couple months old and in excellent condition. There is no rear seat or carpet.  The inside of the tub has been bed lined.  The dash pad is very clean and I do not have a rear seat however one can easily be added if you chose to want one.  You can get one to match the front seats too.

Soft Top/Doors:
The black Bestop Sunrider soft top is in excellent condition and was purchased 4 months ago.  The sunrider is unique in that you can open the front area like a sunroof without removing the entire top.  The original doors do not have any rust, the windows roll up and down very easily.  Unfortunately I do not have a key for the doors.  The wing windows open and close with ease and the seal tight. The doors interior panels are great, both door have a few scratches, sand chips and the drivers side has a little defect pushed in (view all pictures).  


Overall:
This is a beautiful Jeep and ready to go and a classic that is turn key and ready to go.  It would make the perfect weekend warrior, beach runner or mountain adventurer.   The CJ7 is used and 30 years old, it may have blemishes, scratches, nicks etc that I didn't capture on my camera.  Overall the condition is beautiful!  I do my best to illustrate the condition, I may have missed something so be sure to ask all questions you have prior to bidding or winning the Jeep.  The Jeep is being sold as is, where is, without warranty or guarantees.  I am not required for your state emission or safety inspections including Colorado.

Shipping:
If you are out of state and need to have this Jeep shipped, call M&E Auto Transport #606-354-3643.  Michael is great to work with and offers competitive pricing, quick pickup and delivery.  He helped me ship this Jeep back to Colorado from California in February. 

Conclusion:
A $500 non refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of the conclusion of the auction via paypal.  All sales are final.  The final payment must be received within 7 days of auction end time.  Payment options include cash upon pickup, Electronic Bank Transfer or Wire Transfer.  I have sold multiple cars on ebay and can provide references if necessary.  I reserve the right to remove the auction at anytime as this Jeep is listed for sale locally as well.

2014 Jeep Cherokee gets official in a hurry

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

Automakers work very, very hard to keep their new vehicles under wraps until they can present them in exactly the way they want it - typically choreographed under the bright lights of an auto show, or perhaps with photos or video in an idyllic location. Spy shooters and leaks, in other words, keep executives and public-relations types up at night.
This is likely to be one of the most polarizing designs to come out in 2014.
Take today, for instance, when the team over at Jalopnik got a big scoop - the first undisguised shots of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, a model whose name wasn't even officially confirmed yet. The clandestine images taken inside of a factory were blurry and didn't exactly show off the crossover's radical new contours in the same sort of flattering light that Jeep probably would've wished for its product reveal. So the Auburn Hills automaker has wisely reacted by spilling at least some of the beans on the new model, giving us these four photos and confirming the Liberty replacement's name, Cherokee.

eBay Find of the Day: Jeep Comanche Zombie Response Unit

Sat, 02 Feb 2013

We've seen some pretty fantastic apocalypse vehicles in our day. We've even owned one or two, but this particular Jeep Comanche tugs at our heart strings in all the right ways. Let's start with the basics: there's a stout 4.0-liter engine underhood hooked to a five-speed manual transmission, and while we wish this truck was four-wheel drive, the two-inch lift and oversize tires should help you overcome obstacles with enough momentum.
Details like handy shovels, Jerry cans and a brush guard inspired by the hardware on a CUCV help lend the truck a no-nonsense appeal, and the functional CB whip antenna means you can ask for backup when the undead hordes come your way. If you like what you see as much as we do, you can head over to eBay Motors to place a bid. The auction has inched up to $4,000 with just two days left on the clock.

Watch this R/C Jeep Wrangler plow snow

Mon, 06 Jan 2014

There's no denying the fact that the Jeep Wrangler is one tough and rugged vehicle, and there is apparently little lost when the SUV is shrunk down for a 1:10th scale radio-controlled version. Proving that the Axial SCX10 Jeep Wrangler is not your run-of-the-mill R/C car, YouTube user Andrew Dykiel posted a pair of videos showing it clear about an inch of snow from his sidewalk and driveway during a snow storm last month.
Starting at $379.99, the Axial SCX10 costs more than most budget snowblowers, but other than paying a neighbor kid to shovel your snow, this might be the best way for a car guy to clear snow without the need for hot chocolate and ibuprofen. Better yet, it's electric, so it's zero-emission answer to snow removal! Scroll down to see how this R/C Jeep can help "shovel" snow from the warmth of your sofa. We've also thrown in a bonus video showing the mini Jeep negotiating the Rubicon Trail.
