1970 Jeep Cj5 Base Sport Utility 2-door 3.7l, 4 X 4 on 2040-cars
Harvest, Alabama, United States

This is a fun little Jeep. It starts right up (brand new battery and tune up) and runs excellently. It has free flow headers and dual exhaust, so it seems to have more power than the original cast iron manifolds. I have the original exhaust manifolds if you want them to bring it back to original. This is an early 1970 model as it was built by Kaiser and not AMC. It has the original Buick Dauntless 225 V-6 and it is dry - no oil leaks what-so-ever. When I got it 6 years ago it was missing many parts which I found and put on. Namely, the parking brake handle and cables, the horn button, and horn contacts wire. The original turn signal didn't work so I bought another and with the two made one good turn signal that works. The wiper motor wasn't working so I replaced it. (I have the other wiper that is not in the picture). No turn signals (lights, bulbs and lenses) were there so I got new ones and put them on. There is no turn signal on the passenger's side rear as originally there was a spare tire mounted there. I put on a new front bumper, new chrome headlight bezels, and other chrome pieces replaced - hood latches and strap buckles. It had no side view mirror so I got the correct style mirror. New switch knobs, new gauge cluster with all new gauges, new fuel tank sending unit so the gas gauge works. The glove box door was missing so I found one and put it on. The two front seats are new Bestop seats, although a mechanic put a cigarette burn in the seat of the driver's side. I added front seat belts - the kind that stand up on their own, so you don't have to go reaching and fiddling for them. I put on a new steering gearbox so the steering is tight. Also shocks and a front steering stabilizer shock. I also replaced the transfer case and the 4 wheel drive works fine as do the manual hub lockouts. I replaced a brown bikini top with the black one that's on there now as it looks better. I took pictures of some half doors I received when I bought the Jeep, and just hosed them down to clean them as I haven't used them, but they go with the Jeep. I replaced the brake and clutch pedal pads, but left the original gas pedal as it still looks great. This is one way you can tell it has such low mileage - the gas pedal has minimal wear... I took pictures of wheel wells and the inside so you can see there is no rust out ( just some surface rust). As you can see the green in the interior is the original color. Some one painted it red and then the black. I know it was painted red since who ever painted it black did a lousy job of prepping and now some paint is chipping off. This is I would say the only bad feature. I said it was rust free, but there is a little rust in the floor of the passenger side toolbox (under the seat you can see the lid), but it is not bad and still holds tools if you care to put any there. I have a boot and the boot hold down for the stick shift but didn't find it in time for pictures. It looks to have a 3 or 4 inch lift which was done before I got it, but that just makes it better and able to handle those big tires. I added the "4 wheel drive" decal to the tailgate (as original) and have "Jeep" decals for the front doglegs where Jeep is stamped, but haven't put them on. I even put a "necker's knob on to help steer as there is no power steering or for that matter, no power brakes, heater, air conditioner or radio. This Jeep is from the day when guys with hairy chests bought them... Well, it's a very small vehicle and I wrote up a lot about it so I probably have covered it all, but if not, feel free to email with questions. Needless to say, I have a lot more than the starting price in this Jeep, but I am going to let it go for what the market will bear. I just used it all weekend for dragging logs off my property and it was a blast. |

Jay Leno rides high in Fab Fours Legend
Mon, Mar 23 2015Jeep showcased some pretty awesome concepts at its Easter Safari in Moab a few days ago, but few if any of them were quite as extreme as what's rolled in to Jay Leno's Garage for this latest video installment. It's called the Legend, and it was made by aftermarket bumper manufacturer Fab Fours to demonstrate its capabilities. It's obviously based on the Jeep Wrangler, but it's riding high on 50-inch tires with a jacked-up monster truck suspension, giant fenders, a chopped-down red-tinted greenhouse and something its creators call a "grumper" that integrates the bumper into the grille. Or vice versa. Though most of the oily bits have carried over from the production model, it's hardly what you'd call "practical," but it's sure to turn a lot of heads... even one as massive as Jay's.

Project Trail Force Jeep Wrangler goes to SEMA, then to a lucky winner
Wed, Jul 1 2015Extreme Terrain is an aftermarket parts company focused on the Jeep Wrangler. Partly just because it's a really cool thing to do, and probably having something to do with Jeep's upcoming 75th anniversary, Extreme Terrain found some dance partners to help work up a special 2015 Wrangler Rubicon that it will show off at the Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival in Butler, PA, then at SEMA in November, where it will be given away. Extreme worked with Barricade Off-Road and Kevin Tetz from the Spike show Trucks! to build the Wrangler it calls Project Trail Force. There is more than $24,000 worth of aftermarket gear on it, starting with the Ripp centrifugal supercharger that pumps an additional 140 horsepower into the 3.6-liter V6. It's got a 3.5-inch lift kit from Rock Krawler, Dana 44 axles strung between 37-inch BFG tires, Barricade bumpers, a 9,500-pound winch, fender flares, rock sliders, a 50-inch LED light bar above the windshield, LED spotlights on the A-pillars, and seven-inch KC Hilites headlights. Rugged Ridge worked over the inside with upgrades like all-terrain floor and cargo liners, plus seat covers, and a new navigation system with a back-up camera. If you want to win it, you can enter the contest at Extreme Terrain once every week until Oct. 23. The winner gets flown to SEMA to have Kevin Tetz hand the keys over. If you just want to see it, you can head to PA for that heritage festival. The Project Trail Force will also lead a Jeep parade that could set a Guinness World Record. The press release below has a lot more info on the build. Good luck. EXTREMETERRAIN AND BARRICADE OFF-ROAD TO UNVEIL THEIR FULLY-BUILT 2015 JEEP WRANGLER AT BANTAM JEEP FESTIVAL ExtremeTerrain.com and Barricade Off-Road teamed up to build a $73,000+ 2015 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon to be given away to a lucky winner at the 2015 SEMA Show • Giveaway Link: http://www.extremeterrain.com/jeep-wrangler-project-trailforce-giveaway.html • Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsO6fxVq6kI MALVERN, Pa. (June 12, 2015) – ExtremeTerrain, a leader in providing aftermarket Jeep Wrangler parts, along with rugged, enthusiast-driven Jeep Wrangler aftermarket armor and accessories manufacturer Barricade Off-Road, today unveiled a fully-built 2015 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon dubbed Project Trail Force at the Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival in Butler, PA.
Blake Anderson drives an over-the-top patriotic Jeep
Thu, Jan 15 2015Comedian Blake Anderson is seeing growing success as one of the stars and co-creators of the Comedy Central show Workaholics. Not surprisingly, when you get your own TV show, there's a deep desire to celebrate with a big purchase, a car perhaps. Anderson did just that, but as opposed to plunking his money down on a Porsche or Mercedes-Benz, he took a much more patriotic route. Anderson described his ride as "an American Jeep" in an interview with Conan O'Brien, and he didn't mean that it was from the AMC years of the off-road brand's ownership. Instead, this one is as patriotic as they come thanks to a beautifully regal bald eagle covering the hood with the nation's flag as the background running up at least to the windshield. Hear Anderson's entire story of buying this red, white and blue off-roader in the video above.
