Description

Selling my 1981 CJ7. Runs and drives, asses TN emissions test, ertificate provided good through March 2016.
This Jeep is in pretty rough shape, t's probably best to assume that nothing works on it unless I've listed it here as being replaced. 4WD is unknown, on't shift into 4WD but the linkage is so sloppy that I have no idea what the problem might be. My wife and I have had lots of fun driving this thing around town but we've got a new baby and it's time for the old one to move on.. It's basicall
The Good:
5 year old Tigertop and soft doors, nly one snap missing. Mostly watertight.Decent, lightly dry 31" BFGs all around on 15x8 alloy rimsNewish radiatorActually drives pretty well. Can probably do 60mph. Maybe. Downhill. Starts easily, ood battery and starterConverted to a Motorcraft 2150 carb with an ehrmannmp kitIgnition replaced with a GM-style HEI coil-in-cap setupGood SR4 transmission, hifts well and smoothlyI've been told it has the more desirable Dana rear end rather than the AMC, unno how to tellReplaced windshield frame, lass, ipers, nd wiper linkage, eeds rewiring to work rightLeaks only a very little oil from the rear main seal. Lots of hoses and gaskets replaced to achieve this.Many brake parts replaced including calipers and hoses, aster cyl. Stops good for manual brakes.Has a wonderful "Authentic Patina". Hipsters and arty-farty types love this jeep.
The Bad:
Again, as a wonderful "Authentic Patina". Hipsters and arty-farty types love this jeep.Basically nothing else works. The wiring harness is hacked to bits but I got everything patched enough to drive it legally -- that means only headlights, rake lights, nd turn signals, heap mechanical temp gauge, il pressure, nd volts.
4WD probably busted, nknown what the issue is
Motor ticks, alvetrain noise is pretty nasty once it's warm. I run 20w50 and Lucas. For what it's worth it's made the same noises for five years of weekly (sometimes daily) driving and not died. I kept waiting to put a new motor in it but the old motor never quit, o whatever.
Lots and lots of body issues. Frame has been welded up with plates by the previous owner, ncluding one of the spring shackles in the rear. Floor pans are somewhere between hosed and tolerable. Not Flintstone floors at least.
I spent about a week and $300 to replace all the wiper stuff including the linkage and windshield frame and then they worked for about a week. It's probably just (yet another) wiring issue but I just decided to drive my 'real car' in the rain instead.
I'm starting the bidding on this well below any other driveable CJ I've seen in a long time. It's a cheap Jeep and might be fun to work on, specially if you have a welder and can deal with its issues.
Enjoy.
