1984 Jeep Cj7 Restored, Original, No Rust, Laredo on 2040-cars
Gig Harbor, Washington, United States
Very original 1984 Night Blue JEEP CJ7 Laredo 104,600 miles Original, VERY SOLID, 4.2 liter/258 c.i. straight 6. Uses no oil between changes, does not smoke or leak. Original Jeep 4-speed transmission. I believe this Jeep is as it came from the factory, except for the 4" lift, larger tires, and minor improvements made during the cosmetic restoration (ss hardware, improved heater blower motor, weber, bumper, lift, etc) All changes can easily be reversed to factory stock condition. -Stripped all paint down to bare steel. I found some bondo on the left front fender from a previous poor repair, also found some rust in the lower corners of the windshield frame. I replaced these two parts with NEW STEEL PARTS, as well as the tailgate that had been dented, which I replaced with a NEW STEEL TAILGATE. -Body was disassembled. All dings and dents were repaired. All parts were epoxy primered and resprayed in the original factory Night Blue color, then reassembled. -Bestop soft top,
full soft doors (zip out windows), half doors, bikini top, all in EXCELLENT
condition. NO HARD TOP or HARD DOORS. -All ORIGINAL factory
Jeep CJ7 full carpeting, plus additional new floormats. -LAREDO edition,
which includes Laredo chrome front grill, ORIGINAL Laredo seats, original
Laredo rear bench, original factory console with cup holders, original factory storage locker (fits behind the rear seat), and all original roll bar covers, all in superb condition. The Jeep DOES NOT have the "LAREDO" decal on the hood. -NO Radio, though wiring is in place. -JEEP rear speakers. Small front dash speakers were removed. -STAINLESS STEEL HARDWARE on the body. -Entire tub is Rhino-lined -NEW GM heater blower
motor, NEW heater core, NEW radiator, NEW water pump, and NEW thermostat. -NEW WEBER 32/36
progressive carbureter -NEW windshield and NEW windshield seal -NEW windshield-to-cowl seal -NEW speedometer RATIO
ADAPTER is installed to correct for the larger tires. Speedo and odometer are
now accurate, verified by GPS. -PRO-COMP front
bumper, and a CUSTOM-MADE REAR RACK, that fits on the custom-made rear tire
carrier. -NEW FUEL SENDING
UNIT and NEW FUEL GAUGE. -NEW BF Goodrich 33x12.50 All Terrain T/A's -4" shackle/suspension lift -Front locking hubs (I believe are original) -Extended links for the front anti-sway bars, making it very solid on the highway at higher speeds. ***In addition, I have the original chrome Laredo front bumper, and the original carb and air cleaner assembly, and all the original smog equipment, though I can't confirm that every piece of smog gear is accounted for. ***NOTE...this IS NOT a SHOW VEHICLE. It is a driver, and hence may have small imperfections. However, it is a rust-free, mostly original 1984 CJ7, completely dependable, and everything on the Jeep works as it should. I restored this JEEP myself, so I can answer most all questions pertaining to the CJ since I have owned it. It was purchased for a vacation home, but the home was sold so now the JEEP needs a new home. It is not driven too much and I need the space. I have more photos or if you would like to see something specific, I can shoot additional photos and send them out. Thanks... |

Marchionne: Midsize pickup still not in the cards; Ram 1500, Jeep Wrangler could use aluminum
Wed, 07 May 2014During the Fiat-Chrysler briefings on Tuesday, Reid Bigland, head of Ram Trucks, outlined the new product plans for his brand, including confirmation that an all-new light-duty Ram 1500 will launch in 2017. From there, discussions spun off in two directions, with the main questions being: will Ram build a midsize pickup? And, following Ford's move to extensively use aluminum in its new 2015 F-150, will Chrysler be using this weight-saving material for the next round of its fullsize truck, as well?
"I think there is room for a Ram 1000," Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne (pictured above) told members of the media, saying this is a conversation the automaker has been having internally for several years now. "We've tried this ... we've actually taken it to clinics," Marchionne stated, adding that the "response has been lukewarm."
"I have better use of aluminum in this house than a pickup truck." - Sergio Marchionne
Freak accident during Jeep demonstration turns fatal
Mon, 20 May 2013A 20-year-old woman was killed in Edmonton, Canada on Satuday, reports CTV News, in a freak accident resulting from a rollover during a Jeep demonstration. As part of a fundraising enthusiast event called "Jeeps Go Topless," the driver of one Jeep Wrangler drove up and onto the top of the tire of another.
CTV reports that the owner of the topmost Jeep then switched the vehicle off, posed for pictures and then dismounted from his vehicle. His movement off of the Jeep apparently caused it to tip over, crushing a woman who was on top of an adjacent vehicle. Edmonton police are currently investigating more fully what caused the parking lot accident to occur. Scroll below to watch the CTV News video report about this tragic incident.
2015 Ford F-150 named Truck of Texas, Lincoln and Jeep also awarded at Truck Rodeo
Tue, 14 Oct 2014The Ford Motor Company has a lot of reasons to celebrate after winning eight categories in this year's Texas Auto Writers Association's annual Truck Rodeo. Most important among them, the Blue Oval's latest 2015 Ford F-150 earned the prestigious Truck of Texas award, ending the Ram 1500's two-year winning streak. The 2015 Lincoln MKC also grabbed the honor as the CUV of Texas, and Ford was named Truck Line of Texas.
FoMoCo even took trophies for best technology with its extensive use of aluminum on its latest F-Series and best commercial vehicle for the new Transit 250. It wasn't a total sweep, though, because the Jeep Grand Cherokee grabbed the title of the SUV of Texas for the fifth straight time.
This year's event put 60 auto writers in 75 pickups, SUVs and crossovers and challenged them to find the best in a plethora of categories. All of the winners are listed below, and scroll down to read the full announcements from the Texas Auto Writers Association and Ford.
