Coopersburg, Pennsylvania, United States

 I will be listing this Jeep 1 time.  If It does not sell, I will keep it and work on it over the winter.  Like most Jeeps, this one needs some minor things to be 100%  I just don't have time for the Jeep right now.  I own 7 Jeeps.

Every Jeep has a story and so does this one.  The person that re-built the Jeep was in NY.  He sold it to a guy in DE.  The Jeep had a Chevy 406 small block with over 500hp.  Way too much for a tall CJ5.  That person took the 406 out and sold it to me with a Chevy 305 V8.

I suggest you look at the Jeep if you are serious and close enough by.  It's garage kept in Coopersburg PA 18036. Clear title in my name.

Jeep can be shipped.  YOU MAKE ALL THE ARRANGEMENTS.  There will be a $300 fee on top for shipping.  The shipper normally comes on a week day and I need to take off work.  Shipper cannot make it to my rural house, so I have to pay someone to rollback it to a shopping center.  Jeep is not insured, registered, or inspected.  It will pass, except I don't think the horn is hooked up. 

Now for the Jeep:

Had a brand new frame, no rust.  Think it's by Advance Frame Works, over 2k

Unknown make fiberglass body and front end.  Nice paint, except drivers fender needs repaint.

Nice Best top soft top and soft doors.

Currie built Shaved Ford 9 inch front rear, Detroit Locker, 3.73 gears

Currie built Hi Pinion Dana 60, disk brakes, e brake, Detroit Locker, 3.73 gears  These rears over 9k for the pair.  They look brand new yet.

Custom front shaft, CV rear shaft

Has stainless hinges and mirrors

Custom front bumper with 11k Quadratec Winch and 8 inch Hella lights

Custom rear bumper with tire carrier.  I have a brand new 37in MTR for it, but no rim.  A rim is $70.  Bumpers and winch/lights $1500

Oversize 25 gallon fuel tank, custom skid, reverse lights, LED rock lights, sunken rear tail lights, Rocker Gaurds

Vanco power brake system, stops awesome with 4 wheel disc, over $500

Aluminum radiator with electric fan, over $700

GM SM465 granny 4 speed trans with adapter to Dana 300 twin sticked, 1k for that setup with adapter

New flywheel, Center Force clutch, hedders, nice custom Flow Master exhaust system out the rear

Chevy 305.  I don't know much about the motor.  Motor runs good, has new 327/350hp cam, new oil pan, new holley 600, HEI distributor.  Motor actually surprised me with the power, new plugs, MSD wire, cap and rotor.  The oil pan is dry and so is the rear main seal.  The power steering pump has a leak at the rear connection and I think the valve cover has a leak.

Interior has a custom dash, but is missing 2 gauges.  Wires are there for the gauges.  Needs  Volt and temp gauge.  Oil pressure is 60 - 80lbs when running.

PAINLESS wiring harness

Tilt wheel, tuffy steel center console with a CD player and amp.  Speakers in dash and on the floor. 

Seat covers are a little faded, there are harnesses for seatbelts.  Has a rear seat

Has a full roll cage tied into the frame.  The spreader bars are too far in and right over your head.  Bars need to be mover toward the outside.

Rims are brand new steel $300

Tires are Goodyear MTR.  The 4 on the Jeep all have over 1/2 tread and they are radial 37 x 12.5 x 17  spare is Brand New

Has a AGR steering box and borgenson steering shaft $500

Dual shocks up front, dual stabilizers

Has working heater

I'm sure there is more I'm missing.

Needs rollbar spreaders moved, some gauges in dash, stereo wires hooked up. Needs battery

The AGR box is a quick ratio.  I can sit at idle and turn the steering wheel with my pinky and turn the 37's.  This makes for some touching steering while going down the road.  I would put a stock box in and sell that AGR.  I can drive it, I've had over 20 Jeeps.  I had a computer alignment and it's right on.

Fix the one or two small leaks.  Oil pan and rear main is good, don't think intake is leaking.

Original owner lifted the Jeep with spring under springs.  The pack consists of 12 leafs.  Also has about 1 1/2inch body lift.  I would take some springs out of the pack or just buy 4 new BDS springs and drop it down a little. 

That's an honest description of this Jeep.  I have 100 percent feedback.

The frame and rears are less then the starting bid.  Like I said, I will keep it if it doesn't sell and work on it over the winter. 

I do have a trailer.  I can deliver the Jeep, with full payment, up to 150 miles for $2 a loaded mile.  Can store, with full payment for up to 2 weeks.

FCA recalling 323,000 cars for wiring, software issues

Mon, Jul 25 2016

The Basics: Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) is conducting a voluntary recall for an estimated 323,361 cars in the US. The affected vehicles were built after September 23, 2014 and include: the 2015 Chrysler 200, Ram ProMaster City, Jeep Renegade, and 2014 and 2015 Jeep Cherokees. The Problem: An insufficient crimp in the vehicles' wiring harness may result in a solenoid fault code, which could cause the engine to stop. The loss of power could lead to an accident. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: FCA will update the affected vehicles' software and replace wire harnesses, as needed. According to FCA, owners that experience the problem can temporarily resolve the issue by restarting the vehicle. If you own one: FCA is reaching out to owners to schedule a service. Related Video: Statement: Wire Harness Crimp July 22, 2016 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 323,361 vehicles in the U.S. to update certain software and replace wire harnesses, as needed. An examination of warranty data led to an FCA US investigation that discovered an insufficient crimp in a wire harness. Such a crimp may lead to a solenoid fault code that can cause propulsion loss. The Company is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. Most vehicles in the recall population will not experience this fault code over their lifetimes. However, should the condition occur, it can typically be temporarily resolved by stopping the vehicle and re-starting its engine. Accordingly, FCA US urges customers to heed the instructions on their recall notices. Affected are certain model-year 2015 Chrysler 200 midsize sedans, Ram ProMaster City small vans, Jeep Renegade and Cherokee SUVs. Certain model-year 2014 Cherokees are also affected. A change made in the harness-manufacturing process eliminates the need to recall any vehicle built after Sept. 23, 2014. An estimated 35,511 additional vehicles in Canada are included in the campaign; as are 7,067 in Mexico; and 43,927 outside the NAFTA region. Customers will be advised when they may schedule service. Those with questions may call the FCA US Customer Care Center at 1-800-853-1403. News Source: FCAImage Credit: AOL Recalls Chrysler Jeep RAM FCA jeep renegade ram promaster city

Jeep CEO a fan of pickup redux

Tue, Mar 10 2015

The idea of a Jeep pickup is a hardly a new concept. After all, putting a bed on the company's rugged off-roaders goes back to the '40s, not to mention the more recent Cherokee-based Comanche. There's a very slim chance that a truck could return to the lineup down the line if brand CEO Mike Manley gets his wish. "I remain a big fan of a Jeep pickup. I think we have history that says it belongs in our portfolio," Manley said to The Detroit News. However, there's no need to get any hopes up soon, because a truck doesn't get any mention in the brand's five-year plan. That puts the earliest possible introduction around 2019. Even Manley is tempering expectations. "At this moment and time, I have higher priorities. That doesn't mean to say that we don't work on it, we're not looking at it," he said to The Detroit News. The most likely candidate to support a future Jeep truck is the next-gen Wrangler, according to The News. The rest of FCA's pickups and SUVs are running at capacity, which makes slipping in another variant difficult. However, the future Wrangler is heavily rumored to get an expanded production facility in Toledo, OH, which could make things possible. Anonymous FCA insiders confirmed to Autoblog that the next-gen Wrangler would be offered with a 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 and eight-speed automatic. It's also reportedly using solid axles at the front and rear, a fixed windshield and an aluminum body. That could make for a very fun and practical off-roader. If reading all of this speculation gives you a twinge of deja vu, it should. After the Jeep Gladiator concept (pictured above), there were years of speculation about the brand bringing the pickup back. Even then the plan was for a compact truck to tackle that hole in the segment. It was even believed that the project had a green light for production seemingly with Sergio Marchionne's blessing. Then things were pushed back, and last year, the idea was officially quashed. Related Video:

FCA recalling 63k Jeeps, Vipers and Ram ProMaster City vans

Thu, Apr 23 2015

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has announced a pair of recalls cover nearly 63,000 vehicles. The bigger of the two actions covers manual-transmission-equipped vehicles from 2006, including the Jeep Liberty and Wrangler, as well as the Dodge Viper. FCA engineers uncovered that the clutch ignition interlock switches use a kind of wire that was part of a previous recall campaign. Because of this, the company said that affected vehicles may not start, although in rare cases, "if recommended starting procedures are not followed," the affected vehicles may lurch forward after turning the key. Those recommended starting procedures "include activating the parking brake, placing the shift lever in neutral and pressing the clutch pedal before turning the vehicle's ignition key." Recall number two affects the company's 2015 Ram ProMaster City cargo and passenger vans. Owners will need to report to dealers to have a piece of tape removed from the side-curtain airbags. The tape is added during assembly and in some cases, may not have been removed. That could prevent the airbags from deploying in the event of a crash. Just under 59,000 vehicles are included in the first recall, including 43,874 in the United States, 11,309 outside of North America, 2,944 in Canada and 706 in Mexico. The ProMaster City recall includes just over 3,900 vehicles. FCA claims it's unaware of any injuries, fatalities or accidents related to either recall and will perform repairs free of charge. Scroll down for the official press release on both campaigns. Related Video: Statement: Clutch Ignition Interlock Switch April 23, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is launching a voluntary recall of an estimated 43,874 older-model U.S.-market cars and SUVs equipped with manual transmissions. The Company will replace their clutch ignition interlock switches at no charge to customers. The action follows an investigation by FCA US engineers that discovered these vehicles are equipped with switches that contain a certain type of wire implicated in a previous campaign. The wire, which was temporarily substituted by a supplier for the specified material, may break. As a result, the vehicles may not start, and in rare cases – if recommended starting procedures are not followed – a vehicle may exhibit unintended movement when its ignition key is turned. FCA US is unaware of aware of any related injuries or accidents involving this population of vehicles.
