1976 Jeep CJ5 79,xxx miles on odometer Jeep was bought as a project/toy. I have upgraded/fixed most all problems to make this a capable daily driving CJ5. There are still a few things that could still use attention, but overall the jeep can be driven daily. I drive it 20 miles a day on nice days to work and back. I encourage buyers to come look at this Jeep and drive it prior to bidding. It is an older vehicle and has more character than a new car or jeep would have, but is still very reliable for a weekend warrior, project vehicle or great for a toy/farm truck. Will not ship. Must pick up in person. The jeep is in Louisville, KY 40242 and can be seen by appointment
Tires are 31" Swamper TSL's (2 have 50% tread, 2 have 25%).
Drivetrain
AMC 304: Does not use/leak oil, great oil pressure. Radiator flushed, never gets above 200 even when idling on hot days in traffic.
New stuff: aluminum header gaskets and cleaned up headers, good valve cover gaskets, rebuilt MC2100, manual choke, motorcraft distributor, MSD 6AL ignition box, cap, and E-coil, plugs & wires, Delco SI alternator, belts/hoses/fuel lines, fuel pump.
T-150 3speed trans: very drivable and shifts decent. May need a clutch in a few years, has some trouble holding to shift into 3rd gear. No leaks and recent fluid change.
Dana 20 T-case: shifts great. No leaks and recent fluid change.
Dana 30 front: New axle joints, tie rod ends, passenger side spindle, both spindle bearings/seals, wheel bearings/seals, Warn premium locking hubs, brake rotors, pads, calipers, steering gear box and new suspension u-bolts. Very slight leak from diff cover and just had fluid changed. Stock gearing, not sure of exact gear.
Model 20 rear: New wheel cylinders, steel brake line, vent line, drum hardware, inner axle seals and shoes. Drums are in decent shape. Very slight leak from diff cover and just had fluid changed. Stock gearing, not sure of exact gear.
Body
Mostly stock with minimal rust. Driver fender is the worst (see picture). Tube fenders would be a great fix for the front fenders! It looks like the PO had removed most rust but there are signs of bondo in some areas that do not show rust. Most of the paint will shine up pretty well.
Most body mounts are ok, 2 could use some attention at some point. Roll cage has front hoop by the dash. Gas tank is custom made, roughly 26 gallons, and has working gas gauge on dash.
The entire jeep has been rewired with a Jegs 12 circuit harness. All connections made with weatherproof connectors and all lights and signals work. The horn is the only thing nonfunctional and is due the steering wheel switch not being connected.
I have an older spice soft top to match the doors but the rear window zipper is torn and it is not in the best shape. I have a brand new bikini top and a cab cover that I keep on it most of the time. The jeep has been stored out of the weather for the past 2 years and has been taken really good care of.
Extra Parts
Original Motorcraft alternator, prestolite distributor, and what is left of the factory wiring harness
Half of a 5 gallon bucket of gear oil can go with it (diffs, trans, and t-case fluid)
Factory 304 Exhaust Manifolds (getting hard to come by) and a new hi-lift jack can be thrown in too for the right price.

Jeep's new Chip Away commercial has us hunting Al Pacino's back catalog
Tue, 19 Feb 2013Chrysler has done a pretty good job as of late turning its television commercials into pep talks or rallying cries, but for its first ad for the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee, it turned to Al Pacino's inspirational speech from the movie Any Given Sunday. In the movie, Pacino's character talks about how football is a game of inches, but the commercial, titled Chip Away, focuses more on the attention to detail that Jeep has exhibited on its updated flagship SUV.
Centering around the newest Grand Cherokee model, the luxurious $47,995 Summit trim level, the commercial shows off some of the hand-stitched leathers and real metal and wood accents found inside the cabin. Check out the new 60-second spot by scrolling below.
Marchionne: Midsize pickup still not in the cards; Ram 1500, Jeep Wrangler could use aluminum
Wed, 07 May 2014During the Fiat-Chrysler briefings on Tuesday, Reid Bigland, head of Ram Trucks, outlined the new product plans for his brand, including confirmation that an all-new light-duty Ram 1500 will launch in 2017. From there, discussions spun off in two directions, with the main questions being: will Ram build a midsize pickup? And, following Ford's move to extensively use aluminum in its new 2015 F-150, will Chrysler be using this weight-saving material for the next round of its fullsize truck, as well?
"I think there is room for a Ram 1000," Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne (pictured above) told members of the media, saying this is a conversation the automaker has been having internally for several years now. "We've tried this ... we've actually taken it to clinics," Marchionne stated, adding that the "response has been lukewarm."
"I have better use of aluminum in this house than a pickup truck." - Sergio Marchionne
