1978 Yellow Jeep Cj7 304cc V8 on 2040-cars
Imperial Beach, California, United States
So your looking for a Jeep. What can I tell you about mine so you buy it? Well, for one are you worth selling to? Just by looking at the pictures you already know if this is something you can handle. For most people I would say no, you probably can't handle this. Stop reading now! Go back to your creature comforts, your heated seats, and your Onstar. This is not for you.
This is a Jeep for the man with soul. The man that thinks imports should be deports and American should be the standard in America. This is American! In fact the motor is a AMC 304 V8. (American Motor Corporation). Can't be more American then that. If your afraid of some rust this is probably not for you. This Jeep has been rolling through rain sleet sand mud and snow since 1978 and it still rolls on her 33" commuter crushers like a champ. If you plan on only using it to go to the local Starbucks save yourself the grief from me telling you to go kick rocks. This isn't the vehicle to put Weathertec floor mats in. What are you keeping clean? Dirty is the concern of weaker men. This baby is Rhino lined through out the cab with drain holes in the floor. Mud or blood. Just wash it out. When your bleeding blasting through some remote Baja mountains being chased by bandits because you just slept with the local drug lords daughter you haven't got time to kick the dirt off your heels before getting in. Drive through the carwash with the top down later preferably in the US so Montezuma stays in Mexico. I digress. I think you get the point. Soul my friends. Save the fear for when your in bumper to bumper traffic in your Prius going to your cubical just to do it again the next day. Now to give you the bad news so I don't have to answer all the questions about whats wrong with her. Nothing! I like her just the way she is. But for those who think a 1978 CJ7 should be perfect because its been sitting in a vacuum for the last 35 years, here you go. I don't want to sell to you anyway. She has a dent in the hood because at 50 miles a hour the hood flew up and smacked me in the face from wind. Note to self double check the latches after changing the oil. Gauges need replacing. I ride with a spare gas can anyway. They don't have Exxon out on the trail. The wiper motor needs replacing. Just put the windshield down and wear some googles and stop being fufu. You want her to respect you in the morning don't you. She is sold as is. There will be no: "I didn't know about this or that." You got questions I got answers. Well thats about it. If you've got soul or feel you need some more buy my Jeep. The price is fair. Now its time to change your life so bid like you got a pair!

Jeep Liberty under investigation for door fires
Tue, 29 Oct 2013The Jeep Liberty has already had plenty of attention for possible fires thanks to the first-gen model's fuel tank, but now the midsize Jeep is under the microscope of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for another fire-related concern. NHTSA has opened an investigation for the 2012 Liberty after receiving two reports of electrical fires in the driver's door.
According to the investigation summary, around 80,000 vehicles could potentially be affected by this problem. In both reported fires, the drivers noticed smoke and then flames from the master power window switch, and they had to pull to a stop and exit through the passenger side of the SUV. According to Autoguide, there was one injury to a motorist who suffered burned fingers while trying to open the driver's door.
Interestingly, the Dodge Nitro is not yet involved in this investigation, even though it was still around for the 2012 model year; the Nitro ended production in 2011 about a year before the final Liberty rolled off the line for the 2013 model year. Scroll down for the official NHTSA investigation summary.
Jeep Cherokee sales rival Wrangler after two months
Sun, 29 Dec 2013In our First Drive article on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee we said, "our informal and thoroughly unscientific opinion is they're going to sell tons of them. Why? Because it is very good." So far, it appears the public concurs. Of course, it's very early - the new compact utility has logged just one month of confirmed sales, but Larry Vellequette at Automotive News says dealers have told him that the second month of sales will be even better, a message that mirrors what we've heard from company execs.
In its first, severely truncated month on sale, the Cherokee sold 579 units. With all of November to play with, though, dealers moved 10,169 of them - compared to 11,753 Wranglers and 14,798 Grand Cherokees. That helped propel Jeep to a 30-percent year-on-year improvement for the month, Chrysler Group to a 16-percent improvement and the group's 44th consecutive month of sales growth, exceeding analyst expectations in posting its best November numbers since 2007.
If it can just keep replicating the its first month of sales, the finalist in North American Truck of the Year voting will smoke the trade done by the outgoing Liberty, which didn't break 7,900 units in a month in the last four years of its life (and normally didn't get close to even that). In March this year, Chrysler said it wants to build 250,000 Cherokees in its Toledo assembly plant for global sales. It's early yet, but with second-month sales quoted as being as "strong as death," the bookies might be resetting the odds.
