Up for auction is this 3 speed 1975 CJ5 Jeep I purchased in Washington, OR in 2005. I drove it 1,600 miles back to Iowa with no problems!

It has the stock 258 six cylinder engine (not the 232) and had 69,000 miles on it. I am the 4th owner. It was originally passed down from Grandfather to Grandson in 1991 with 23,000 miles, and sold to the gentleman I bought it from with 47,000 miles.

It had been repainted from the original white to dark metallic blue. Custom features include stainless bumpers, bumper guards, body hardware and interior grab bar. It has a Swing Away Spare Tire Carrier. Wheel Rims are 15x8 5/5-1/2 (#164 Ultra) polished aluminum with s/s center caps.

Included are the Original Window Sticker, 1975 Owner’s Manual, Warranty Pamphlets, original Repair Receipts, and Ads used to sell this jeep. Also included are Moses Ludel’s Jeep CJ Rebuilder’s Manual 1972-1986, Chilton’s Repair & Tune Up Guide 1947-1987.

This jeep is in good mechanical condition and has a plenty of power. I would not hesitate to drive it back from Oregon again. It does burn a little oil and I suspect that someday it will need the rings replaced. The biggest problem is that it has sat outside and developed rust in the quarters and on the driver’s floor boards. Of course the pictures will make the jeep appear better than it is. The left upper plastic door window has a foot long tear. The Bestop soft top is old but in pretty fair condition but will eventually have to be replaced. The front seats had tears in them when I bought this jeep but see one can now buy the 1975 original appearing seats, which were unavailable for a long time.

I installed a new HEI distributor a couple of years ago, and recently installed a new valve cover gasket. I had the original carburetor overhauled, as it was hard to start if it sat for more than one week. Now it starts fine. The throw out bearing complains occasionally in really cold weather.

Currently, it has 76,333 miles, so I have driven it about 7,000 miles during the past eight years. It is a great winter vehicle, which is what I mainly used it for, and of course fun to drive in the summer with the doors and top off.

I am selling this jeep now as I’m in my 60’s and it is becoming increasingly uncomfortable for me to get in and out of it, especially with the sight lift and it’s short wheelbase ride.

This would be a nice original project to restore or customize. Like I stated above, there are looks of rust areas.

Originally I paid $7500 for it, but am starting the bidding at $3,000 due to the needed rust repairs.

Am selling ‘AS IS’ with no refunds or returns!

Buyer must pick up Jeep and I must be paid in cash before I sign the Title and the Jeep leaves my house.

Good luck bidding!

Why Mopar won't release a factory lift kit for the new Jeep Cherokee

Thu, 24 Apr 2014

The Jeep Cherokee Dakar concept showed off at the 2014 Easter Jeep Safari made a lot of online friends, even the Cherokee naysayers assenting that there's a monster Jeep underneath the Cherokee's skin if you're willing to go in and get it. But after reading Road & Track's write-up of what went into creating the Dakar, particularly its lift, you'll understand why you'll probably never see the components for it in the Jeep Performance Parts catalog.
The concept's press release mentions a "prototype Jeep Performance Parts lift kit, and additional suspension modifications." The short-story explanation is that the front struts on the standard Cherokee weren't engineered to accept any amount of lift, so the long story begins with the phrase, "an entirely new suspension." Head over to RT to read the details, and don't be afraid to ogle the Cherokee Dakar gallery and another awesome Jeep fancy that won't likely crawl over the hurdles imposed by production reality.

Jeep spied testing new compact crossover

Tue, Nov 24 2015

Jeep is preparing a new crossover to slot in between the Renegade and Cherokee. Spied here for the first time, the new model is expected to arrive sometime around the middle of the new year. And with it, FCA's off-road brand will finally have a successor for the Compass and Patriot. From the little bit we can project at this early stage, the new C-segment Jeep is expected to ride on a modified version of the platform that underpins the Renegade and Fiat 500X. Motivation is tipped to come from the company's new 2.0-liter turbocharged Hurricane inline-four mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission. We expect it to come in front and all-wheel-drive versions. The big question mark at this point is what the vehicle will be called. As the replacement for both the Compass and the Patriot, this model could adopt either nameplate – or it could wear a new one entirely. If the Renegade and 500X are anything to go by, the new Jeep could be offered as a Fiat as well, which could easily be dubbed the 500XL. We'll have to wait and see, but in the meantime you can check out the prototype Â– albeit in camouflaged form Â– in the image gallery above. Related Video:
