- 1979 Jeep CJ7 TH400 Automatic 258 I6 Quadratrac Amc 20 rear & Dana 30 front, 32 x 11.5 x 15 tires. Currently a Complete Custom Rebuild in progress.
Also I own a 2001 Jeep Cherokee, White, all stock with 4.0L. automatic, and police package. Best part of that is it came with leather seats! This package also has the NP242 Transfer Case, 8.25 rear end, and trailer towing package.
So I bought a 1979 Jeep CJ7 I6 TH400 Quadratrac on eBay vrom a guy in the Denver area back in 2008 for ~$1700. Trailered it home and drove it for a few years while working on some rust holes in the body. Added new seats to the interior and pulled all of the junk out. Emmissions air pump was shot, so that came out. Tires were 32x11.5x15. No lift as far as I can tell. Every major componet worked just fine. Started the frame off last year but really been working hard on it this year. Move from Colorado to Texas really helped with the health issues and allowed me to work more on the CJ. Had a Cherokee while in Colorado too, but sold it. (mistake) (it was really nice). So here are some pictures and all the stuff I'm doing if you would like to follow along. All suggestions are welcome. Rod
