Reputed to be the best Road and hill-climb CJ ever made, I'm the second owner--since 1988. Not desert, but it's always been in arid regions until I now brought it back home. About 12,000 miles ago (just under 191,000 total now), I gave the rig to Fred's paint/body shop, then to Motor Masters, then went through the entire drive train with an officer of the NW 4-Wheel Drive Club. My only instructions were to "go through it thoroughly in detail and repair or replace anything you find wrong or worn." They/We did, including a completely rebuilt engine, new efficiency carb (when trying to get the best I could, I got 25 mi/gal), new exhaust system, all brakes, only 1 gear showed wear and was replaced, replaced any body metal as needed prior to paint, rhino lined inside cabin & bed, complete custom paint, only 1 seat panel needed, then TUFF seat covers with front & rear pockets plus one hidden within driver reach, installed a dbbl-lock security console, fog & reverse lights, secured sound system in which only the remote control shows, marine carpeting w/ mud mats, bikini, safari, tonneau & spare tire covers, nerf bars and a rear bumper with frame-strengthened hitch (3/16 &1/4 " steel). Now getting old with most every joint hurting or replaced, I'm into comfort, and when I got a Polaris to run the horse trails with my dog and grandchildren, my wife and I agreed, if you know how that goes, to only have one baby left around here (56 Dodge). I gave the same instructions to my current mechanic and bodyman I did before. Here's what's left now that they have checked her out: There is a curb scuff on a tire, a 1/4" tear in the dash, replace one bed snap for the tonneau, sno wheels need repaint & factory chromes have some pitting, surface (only) rust underneath on the frame(not body), a small ding on the right door interior (I couldn't get it to show in a picture) and the standard inside crack in the plastic on both doors just under the window. The gearshift boot tore last month, and I'll order a new one of those. To perfect the rig now, I would replace the window insulation/seals and duplicate the HD bumper to the front as is now in the rear. I cut the metal for this but never welded it together. Occasionally tighten the HD valve cover to prevent oil leak. I put a new battery in her and muffler/tailpipe. You have one more season or more on the tires depending on the miles you drive. Besides the metal for the bumper, I have a couple of seats that could be mounted in the bed if you like the idea--we could work something out. Look at the pictures. Tell me by email if you want more. If EBay doesn't automatically include an auto check history, I can send one of those, too. I won't ship it, but I would work with your shipper--after bank certification of payment. Fair? Thanks for your interest. Whether you win or not, I hope you enjoy the auction.

2015 Ford F-150 named Truck of Texas, Lincoln and Jeep also awarded at Truck Rodeo
Tue, 14 Oct 2014The Ford Motor Company has a lot of reasons to celebrate after winning eight categories in this year's Texas Auto Writers Association's annual Truck Rodeo. Most important among them, the Blue Oval's latest 2015 Ford F-150 earned the prestigious Truck of Texas award, ending the Ram 1500's two-year winning streak. The 2015 Lincoln MKC also grabbed the honor as the CUV of Texas, and Ford was named Truck Line of Texas.
FoMoCo even took trophies for best technology with its extensive use of aluminum on its latest F-Series and best commercial vehicle for the new Transit 250. It wasn't a total sweep, though, because the Jeep Grand Cherokee grabbed the title of the SUV of Texas for the fifth straight time.
This year's event put 60 auto writers in 75 pickups, SUVs and crossovers and challenged them to find the best in a plethora of categories. All of the winners are listed below, and scroll down to read the full announcements from the Texas Auto Writers Association and Ford.
New spy photos of the next Jeep Wrangler reveal a backup camera
Fri, Feb 24 2017The new Jeep Wrangler JL is on the way, and we have new spy photos that give us our best look yet. The few vehicles seen in these photos all appear to be the four-door Wrangler Unlimited model, but we know the two-door and pick-up versions are coming as well. No word on when the new model, code-named JL, will debut, but don't expect to wait too much longer before Jeep finally finishes pulling off the wraps. While the Wrangler still is covered in test car camouflage, the "diaper" coverings have been removed from the side. But we still can't tell how the new removable roof and side panels will fit. One new nugget that we can spot is the spare-mounted backup camera. At least the Wrangler is keeping its rear-mounted spare. The overall shape hasn't changed much, but there would be pitchforks and fire in Toledo if Jeep strayed too far from the current design. Like the Porsche 911, the Wrangler's general design is permanently etched in stone. The grille is exposed on a few shots showing the new back-canted seven-slot setup that recalls the YJ generation of Wranglers. The windshield on the new model now appears to be fixed and tilted at more of an angle. Like we said, small changes.

Marchionne defends FCA recalls, says Wrangler won't be all-aluminum
Fri, May 22 2015FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne recently received the 2015 Industry Leadership Award from the SAE Foundation. While speaking with the press after the event, the boss discussed his thoughts about some key issues regarding the company's future. One of the big regulatory issues facing FCA at the moment is the upcoming public hearing by the National Highway Traffic Safety into the automaker's handling of 20 recalls. Marchionne has no intention of testifying there, according to The Detroit News. The CEO also thinks that the government regulator is becoming much more aggressive in how it handles safety campaigns, but the Feds aren't necessarily doing a very good job of communicating that. "We need to work with the agency in a very cooperative and open way to make sure that we can meet their requirements for their new stance," he said, according to the newspaper. "We have no option but to comply with their requirements and we will. I have nothing to hide in this process. I just want clear rules." Marchionne also dropped the news that the company has changed its mind about making the next Jeep Wrangler totally from aluminum. "Because of the difference in cost, not just the new material but the actual assembly process, I think we can do almost as well without doing it all-aluminum," he said to The Detroit News. This seemingly opens the door for the model to remain in production in Toledo, OH, but only just a crack. Marchionne says that the new Wrangler would still use a large amount of aluminum, and there are "at least" two sites in contention for the assembly. The company doesn't have too long to make a decision because the model reportedly launches in 2017.
