PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY!
GREAT DAILY DRIVER OR EASY RESTORATION PROJECT!
1981 Jeep CJ7 Renegade..Last year of the narrow tracks..258ci 6cyl, BW T18 4spd w/6.0 low gear, Dana 300 T-Case, PS, Hard Top and Bikini Top w/soft half soft doors. This is an unrestored rust free original California CJ7..The body is good with the usual array of small dings and holes drilled through the years for different tops,carriers,handles,speakers etc..The frame and floors are solid..The paint and decals are ok for being 20+ years old but do show wear. The factory rear spare tire carrier has been re-installed as per the pics. New windshield,dash pad,passenger mirror,muffler and fender flairs. The engine is a 258(4.2L) 6cyl that starts and runs great..it has had a carburetor conversion to a Motorcraft 2bbl but otherwise appears to be stock..it does have the usual oil seeps and drips that are common with this era of Jeep. The low geared BW T18 trans and Dana 300 t-case were converted by a previous owner and work fine..clutch hooks good with no chatter. Has add-a-leaves and Confer spring shackles. The rest of the running gear is stock as far as I have found. 3.73 open diffs. Also has winch mount on front. The interior is good driver quality..Front driver seat has been taped on the edge..passenger seats are good with all seat belts still intact..has lockable aftermarket steel center console w/AM-FM CD Stereo mounted in it..all gages work. Carpet is worn and stained,but ok for daily driving. Has original chrome Jeep Wagon Wheels(incl spare)and 33-12.50-15 tires that are only about 20%..Also comes with a set of 4 BFG AT's that are 32/11.50/15's mounted on black spoke wheels,the tires are about 20% also. It was involved in a collision in California in 1991 and has been on a salvage title ever since according to Car Fax..I was not the owner at that time,so am not sure how much damage was done,but I do know it runs and drives great/straight! I've had it up to 65mph and it drove as good and stable as any other CJ I've owned! Can't honestly tell what if any body panels were replaced at the time and the frame and frame horns look great and undamaged. The odometer reads 30000 miles,but I believe that to be 130000 since there is no sixth digit..In Idaho anything that is over 10yrs old is considered exempt on the miles. Please call 208-965-0664(NO TEXTS!)with any questions..Pre-purchase inspections are encouraged and welcomed..please call with questions and assume nothing! This Jeep CJ is a solid unrestored project/daily driver,not restored or perfect!! Jeep can be stored for up to 60 days at no additional charge after purchase and payment is complete..can also assist with shipping options and loading on this end. Thanks! |

2013 AEV Brute Double Cab
Fri, 11 Jan 2013These are the guys who bring an M777 howitzer to a knife fight. In terms of overall rugged utility, the all-new 2013 Brute Double Cab from American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) is about as overkill as they come, and we can't seem to get enough of the beasts that this company produces. Unlike most aftermarket firms, always striving to lower cost and increase volume (but at the expense of quality), Michigan-based AEV takes pride in its OEM-quality design, engineering, manufacturing and testing. Everything is as good, or better, than the stuff from the factory, and they have been doing it this way for more than 15 years.
Launched at the recent 2012 SEMA show was the 2013 AEV Brute Double Cab. Its debut marked the company's expansion to a four-door Brute on the newer JK platform (drawing inspiration from the Land Rover Defender 130). I recently spent a few hours with the new truck in sunny Southern California, though unfortunately, due to time constraints, I was limited to pavement-only driving impressions.
Driving Notes
Four Wheeler crowns Ultimate Factory 4x4... who wins?
Thu, 15 Nov 2012Nearly every automaker doing business in the SUV or pickup truck segments offers a package designed to improve the off-road capabilities of its wares. But, of course, not all such factory kits are created equal. How, then, to separate the wheat from the chaff? Gather each of them up and put them through their paces, naturally.
The folks from Four Wheeler and PickupTrucks.com joined forces to run just such a comparison test, with the winner named the Ultimate Factory 4x4. A total of seven vehicles showed up to the fight: the 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, 2012 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X and Xterra PRO-4X, 2012 Ram Power Wagon, and 2012 Toyota 4Runner Trail and Tacoma TRD T|X Baja Series.
With the contestants in place, the whole crew put each vehicle through a battery of tests that included skidpad and acceleration measurements, a hillclimb, a rocky stairstep course and a rock garden. Considering the nature of the beasts, on-road ride and comfort were not part of the routine.
Jeep Renegade gets Riptide and Frostbite customs at SEMA
Wed, 05 Nov 2014The cute little Jeep Renegade isn't even on sale yet, but here at SEMA, the Mopar folks are giving us a taste of what's possible for the little CUV in the big wide world of customization. Part of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' massive SEMA spread, the Renegade shows up in fresh Riptide and and Frostbite guises.
First up, the Riptide arrives in Vibrance Grandeur Blue with black wheels and a big ol' Jeep Performance Parts logo on the rear pillar. There are a few black accents elsewhere on the exterior, and a surfboard carrier rides up on the roof. The blue color scheme also finds its way inside the Renegade, on the instrument cluster and side panels, with contrasting white accents.
By contrast, the Frostbite Renegade reverses the Riptide's color scheme, with white being the main paint of choice, with blue accents abound. And inside, Katzkin seats wear blue upholstery. The Frostbite is a pretty functional creation, as well, with a Mopar ski/snowboard roof rack and a Jeep Performance Parts rock rail guard.
