I am offering up for sale one of the nicest Jeeps I have ever owned.
CONDITION:
This Jeep runs and drives like a dream. Just turn the key and it immediately comes alive. The original owner bought this Jeep just before retirement. He claimed that it never saw a winter being that they were snowbirds (had one house in Idaho and one in Arizona). The mileage of 75,500 are original miles and the original owner stated that half of those miles were towed miles. Just drive this Jeep and see its condition and you will know that he was telling the truth. There is absolutely NO RUST on this Jeep. It has always been in the dry climates of Idaho and Arizona. It is extremely rare to find a Jeep of this age and in its original condition with No Rust. As you can tell by the pictures, it is nearly flawless. The Laredo stickers are in great shape and there are a few small light surface scratches and no dents. You will have a hard time finding one this nice and in this great of condition.
The only thing that this Jeep is missing is the original Air Conditioning. The original owner had it removed because he did not believe air conditioning should have come in a Jeep in the first place. If the Jeep doesn't sell, I am going to keep it and put in an aftermarket Vintage Air system. (Vintage Air will be more reliable than trying to find the original compressor anyway). As you can see, the mounts for the air conditioning compressor are still attached to the engine block, so the addition of the compressor would be simple. I drive this Jeep daily and it is a blast to be in. It gets looks all the time. The Laredo package on this CJ5 doesn't end with the decals, it also has the upgraded steering wheel, custom leather seats and leather grab bar, ash tray on the dash, badging, clock, etc. All the gauges work as they should and the last trip I took which was about 150 miles, I got about 16 miles to the gallon at @ 60-65 mph. (With the 4 speed, I could have traveled faster. RPM Gauge was reading just under 2,000 RPM's at 65 mph).
The Four Wheel Drive works as it should and it as well as the transmission shifts perfect, just like new. In the time that I have owned this Jeep, it has been very reliable and I would not have a problem driving this across the country (as long as the weather is nice). As are most CJ5's, it can be a little squirrely with the Power Steering, however, I got used to it really quick and as mentioned above, I have traveled long distances with it at a fast pace.
FEATURES:
Jeep comes with the original 1981 Jeep Owners Manual, soft top with full soft doors, soft half doors, good tire life left on the All-Terrain BFGoodrich Tires, Original Factory Wheels, the original owner owned this Jeep until this year. I admit, I got a great deal on it and if I do not sell it, I will keep it. It is worth every penny and more of my Buy It Now price. The lucky new owner of this Jeep will be in Heaven and be the envy of many. That is how great this Jeep is. The Jeep has not been lifted. When I bought it, I had a local spring shop re-arch the front springs so that the Jeep would sit level. The springs are still in the stock original location. The Jeep also has the stock Posi-Trac in the Rear. It does not leak any fluids what-so-ever. Oil changes were done regularly with 10-30 Valvoline and K&N Oil Filters.
I am sure that I am missing something, so if you have any questions or comments, just send them my way and I will answer them. I can also take more pics if you want to see something specific that are not in the pics in the ad. As you can see by my feedback, I am very honest and truthful in describing what I am selling. This ad is no exception. You will not be disappointed with this Jeep.
Shipping is at the owners expense, however, I will do what I can to help load the Jeep. Good Luck. Thanks for looking at my auction. You can call or text me at 2O8.869.9927. I am in Idaho.

Fiat/PSA's dominance in small vans hangs up EU's merger approval
Mon, Jun 8 2020BRUSSELS — EU antitrust regulators are concerned about Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot / PSA's combined high market share in small vans and may require concessions to clear their $50 billion merger, people familiar with the matter said. The companies, which are seeking to create the world's fourth biggest carmaker, were told of the European Commission's concerns last week. If Fiat and PSA fail to dispel the European Commission's doubts in the next two days and subsequently decline to offer concessions by Wednesday, the deadline for doing so, the deal would face a four-month-long investigation. The EU competition enforcer, which has set a June 17 deadline for its preliminary review, declined to comment. Fiat was not immediately available for comment while PSA had no immediate comment. Hiving off overlapping businesses, usually a regulatory demand to ensure more competition, could prove tricky for the carmakers because of the technicalities. Fiat and PSA are looking to merge to help offset slowing demand and shoulder the cost of making cleaner vehicles to meet tougher emissions regulations. The deal puts under one roof the Italian carmaker's brands such as Fiat, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Maserati and the French company's Peugeot, Opel and DS.

2014 Jeep Cherokee: Introduction
Tue, 27 May 2014When we look back at some of the more shocking product launches of recent yeras, the Jeep Cherokee is certainly high up on the list. And we aren't just talking about its off-the-wall, polarizing design.
For starters, it brought back the iconic Cherokee nameplate - something Jeep enthusiasts have coveted for ages. But beyond that, it brought a new evolution for the Jeep brand. After all, the Cherokee is car-based - using the same compact platform that underpins the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200. It has a greater focus on technology and refinement than ever before, in an effort to appeal to a new crop of Jeep customers. And powering it all is a new (optional) V6 engine paired with an equally new nine-speed automatic transmission.
Can the Cherokee's car-based roots still allow for a vehicle that's superb when the going gets tough? Will its design still be a love/hate affair in one year's time, or will it start to blend in? Is the powertrain strong enough to not only support the needs of daily driving and road trips, but blaze a few trails as well? We're aiming to answer all these questions, and more, over the next 12 months. Welcome to the Autoblog long-term garage, Cherokee.
2020 Land Rover Defender vs. 2020 Jeep Wrangler: How they compare on paper
Tue, Sep 10 2019For ages, the Jeep Wrangler has had the serious off-road SUV market in America all to itself, especially when it comes to two-door variants. But competition is coming, and the first on its way is the 2020 Land Rover Defender, which was just revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Each packages retro looks and impressive off-road capability, but does one have an advantage? We decided to take a look into each SUV's specifications and compare them on their engines, drivetrains, interior space and towing among other things, to see how they stack up. Since both SUVs are offered in two-door and four-door versions, we've made sure to feature both versions. You can find all the vital stats in the chart below, followed by more in-depth analysis. Engines and drivetrains The Land Rover is the clear high-performance option of these two SUVs. Its base turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, offered only in the four-door Defender 110, is more powerful than either of the gas engines offered on the Jeep Wrangler. The Wrangler's four-cylinder matches it on torque, at least. The optional turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six in the Defender makes over 100 more horsepower and pound-feet of torque than either Jeep gas engine. But if you're looking for diesel propulsion, along with its associated torque and fuel economy, the Wrangler will be your only option. Final specs haven't been released, but in the Ram 1500, the same engine makes 260 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque. Fuel economy hasn't been announced for the Land Rover or the diesel Wrangler. But if fuel economy is a concern, the four-cylinder Wrangler is the most frugal of the SUVs we have numbers on. As for transmissions, the Wrangler is your only choice if you have to have a manual. It's available on both the two-door and four-door models, but only with the V6 engine. If you don't mind an automatic transmission, both SUVs come with variations on the ZF eight-speed auto. Getting the power to the wheels is another area where these two SUVs diverge. The Jeep is very traditional with a standard selectable four-wheel-drive system with two-wheel drive, and low- and high-range four-wheel drive modes. On the Sahara, there's an available full-time four-wheel drive mode, but the other modes are still available. On the Land Rover, you get full-time four-wheel drive, the same kind used on the Land Rover Range Rover.
