I truly do hate to sell my first baby, but with the second "real" baby on the way I'm told that some things have to change. I love this jeep and have owned it for over 20 years. Needless to say we have been through a lot together. I don't think its lifted but I did put new 33 inch Mickey Thompson tires on it with no problems turning or rubbing over any bumps. It has a very aggressive stance which I like and is why I didn't want to put a lift kit on it. The tires are about 18 months old and have less than 500 miles on them. I really just use the jeep in the summer cruising to the store, bye the beach or around town (not many places to find mud in Chicago) but it has always been very reliable.  I have only done very 'minor" off-roading with it. Im sure a real mudder would call what I have done just puddle running. It has never been stuck or anything like that. I bought it from an elderly couple who used it to hunt morel mushrooms in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I believe it had milage in the high 30,000 or low 40,000 when I bought it from them. I was drawn to the jeep for many reasons, it was in great shape, low milage and, of course, the last year they made the CJ which has always been my favorite model(I went through 3 of them before I found this beauty). 

The jeep sat at my parents for several years while I finished up some school including graduate school. When I finally got to a point in my life where I could go get it and "enjoy" it again it started right up, couldn't believe just charged the battery and put in some gas, after like 7 years and she started right up. It has always been a great jeep. 
It still has the original steel body that has had some work done and will need some more at some point, I included the bad spots. But all in all the body is solid and it is a good steady driver, a very strong runner and just a great jeep.
This jeep would be ideal for someone kinda like me I guess. Its a good runner, looks great (I think) and its fun to work on a little here and there. I mean its not currently going to do serious rock crawling, and its not like the thing is in the garage every weekend. 
It is reliable and in "good" shape but could be "great" shape if someone had the desire to make it so. Even if not it would be a fun and dependable vehicle for some lucky person. Not to mention with the very low original miles it could catch the eye of a collector or someone who wanted to have it restored. Anyways thats not what im into jeeping for so good luck bidding!!   The Jeep really has to go with the second baby on the way so make me a REASONABLE!!!  Offer and hopefully we can work something out. Don't waste your time thinking I need gas or bread money and will sell it for $1000 or something silly. I love the thing and will put it in storage if I have too. Good luck!!!

FCA profits surge in second quarter

Fri, Jul 31 2015

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles gave the cash register a beating in the second quarter, improving its net profit to 333 million euros ($364M US), which is a 263-percent jump over its reported Q1 profit of 92 million euros ($108M US). At the same time, FCA improved its global profit margin to 7.7 percent. Compared year-over-year, in Q2 2014 FCA reported net profit of 197 million euros making this year's Q2 a 69-percent increase, and profit margins a year ago were 4.9 percent. The two big factors for this increase are strong NAFTA sales and Jeep. In the US alone, Jeep sold 222,940 units in Q2 this year, a jump of almost 20 percent over the same period last year. Revenue in the NAFTA region totaled $18.8 billion, adjusted earnings before interest and taxes were $1.45 billion, both of those numbers more than doubling compared to 2014. The vastly better numbers come on marginally more global sales, 1,181,000 units sold in Q2 2014, 1,193,000 units sold in the same span this year. In the US, FCA began charging dealers one-percent more for vehicles to up the margins, a move that helped boost its US margin from 4.1 percent a year ago to 5.8 percent the first half of this year. The company is holding steady on its guidance of global deliveries at 4.8 million and its net profit guidance at $1.1 to $1.3 billion. It has increased its adjusted outlook for the year to $120.5 billion in revenue, and EBIT to "over $4.93 billion."

Tue, 10 Dec 2013

The 2014 North American International Auto Show is right around the corner, which means it's high time we found out which cars and trucks would be finalists for the prestigious North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards.
The finalists - three in cars and three in three trucks/utilities - are dominated by American brands, with two-thirds of the finalists hailing from either General Motors or Chrysler (don't worry Ford, there's always next year), while outliers from Mazda and Acura can be found in each contest. Here now is the list of finalists for the big prizes:

Chrysler expecting up to 200,000 9-speed transmissions for 3 models this year

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

Striving for improved fuel economy, we already knew that Chrysler will begin using a nine-speed automatic transmission in some of its new products this year, but what we haven't known is that volume at which this gearbox will be used. According to Bloomberg, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has been quoted as saying that the automaker expects to sell close to 200,000 units equipped with this new transmission in 2013. Those gear-rich trannies will be spread out across three models, consisting of the redesigned Chrysler 200, the still-unnamed Jeep Liberty replacement and the Dodge Dart.
This transmission should play a pivotal role in making Chrysler vehicles more competitive in their respective segments. Just for comparison, one of the Dart's key competitors, the Toyota Corolla, still uses a four-speed automatic, and a previous report indicates that the next-generation 200 could get up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway, which is better than most non-hybrid midsize sedans on the market. Marchionne says that the new Jeep model is expected during the second quarter of this year, but there is no word as to when the new 200 or nine-speed Dart will debut, but clearly Dodge would like to have the transmission in its compact yesterday. As for that volume figure, it definitely doesn't seem out of reach since the Dart, Liberty and 200 combined for a total of more than 225,000 units in 2012.
How many more gears can we expect in future cars? Probably not many more, since the CEO of transmission-builder ZF, Stefan Sommer, previously stated that nine speeds was the "natural limit" for transmissions.
