Up for auction is a custom built Jeep CJ5. This Jeep was built built for trail riding with mild street use. With a little work like sway bar and alignment it could probably be driven on the street. The rear end is fully locked so it is a little rough on the street. This Jeep has a 97 Jeep wrangler engine 4.0 with Borla header, and a power aid throttle body spacer. Its wicked for a 6cyl to say the least. It has a 94 Jeep YJ wiring harness and pcm for simplicity. New alternator. Painless wiring harness for the rest of the Jeep. Stainless backing plates for brake discs. Stainless lines throughout. One piece axle upgrade. Front is dana 30 rear is amc 20. The ax15 5spd was adapted to a dana 300 with twin sick shifter. This Jeep was basically rebuilt from frame up. It was stripped and pressure washed. Sanded and primed. The frame has a light textured spray bedliner. Clean durable and easy to work on. Not all gooped up. The body is satin tan. Inside is spraybedliner. Has a new stereo with all the latest hookups for ipod, droid and phone connect with bluetooth and a microphone. Speakers are not the greatest. The Jeep has not had any real miles put on it since being rebuilt due to a driveline vibration. It has a pretty short driveshaft with the double cardigan joint. All the joints seem smooth out of the Jeep but when in it vibrates. Im out of time and money to work on it any longer and willing to sell at a discounted price. I would reccomend towing this Jeep and going over it or having a shop go over it before taking of down the highway or trail. It runs and drives as is just vibrates. I dont want to mislead anyone on this Jeep. Its very strong and reliable. it was not slapped together. I do not know any miles on any part of it. i know the engine is smooth with no noises and no smoke. all lights and gauges work. wipers work. Jeep is geared 4.56 and has 35"x12.50"x15 tires. There is no top. Grade 8 bolts throughout frame. New ubolts. Shocks feel a little weak. All and all this is a killer jeep with an awesome look. I'd say one weekend in the garage and get the driveshaft figured out and you would be ready to hit the trails. The jeep is title as a 1973. Great for areas with emissions. I will not give out the reserve. There is no warranty. No refunds of any kind. Please ask all questions before bidding. Deposit with 24 hours of auction end. 3 days to have paid in full. and 5 days to have it picked up. I can help with shipping at your expense.

Chrysler delays 2014 Jeep Cherokee media launch
Tue, 30 Jul 2013Chrysler is making the unusual move of delaying the first media drives of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, which were slated to start next week in Seattle. And while something like this is a rare occurrence, and one that most of the Autoblog staff can't recall happening this publicly or so close to the event itself, it won't effect the actual on-sale date of the new Cherokee, which is set to hit showrooms in September.
"Over the last couple of weeks during final quality and durability testing, we have discovered the opportunity to further improve powertrain calibration," Chrysler told Automotive News. This marks the second notable delay in the Cherokee's short life, after production was delayed for roughly a month earlier this summer.
Still, we'd rather Chrysler make sure the Cherokee is ready for primetime before flying media in from around the country. It shows a willingness to get things right the first time, rather than offering media drives and then tweaking the car after the fact.
FCA denies report it's pulling Chrysler brand from Japan
Mon, Jun 19 2017TOKYO - Fiat Chrysler Automobiles denied it had decided to pull the plug on the Chrysler brand in Japan, after local media reported it was planning to stop selling the US cars in the country as early as next year following years of poor sales. "Although FCA Japan has already announced its intention to concentrate its resources on the Jeep brand ahead, no decisions have been made regarding (the) Chrysler brand," the automaker said ion Monday. The Nikkei business daily reported that the European-US automaker, which also sells the Jeep, Fiat, Alfa Romeo, and Abarth brands in Japan, was close to deciding to throw in the towel on the Chrysler brand, which posted sales of less than 300 vehicles in 2016, having fallen steadily since around 2000 and are about a tenth of what they were a decade ago. FCA sells only one Chrysler model in Japan, the full-size 300s sedan, which is sold at the company's Jeep dealerships. FCA's Fiat brand, which includes smaller models, and its Jeep brand have been growing in the country. Last year they sold around 6,700 and 9,400 units, respectively, making them top 10-selling foreign branded vehicles in the Japanese market. However, foreign cars constitute a small portion of the total Japanese auto market, which is dominated by domestic brands. Last year, 295,000 foreign-branded new cars were sold in the country, roughly one-tenth of total new vehicle sales. Reporting by Naomi TajitsuRelated Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

2014 Jeep Compass/Patriot sing their swan songs with a six-speed automatic
Tue, 15 Jan 2013Unless the governor, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne, gives them a reprieve, the 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot are expected to meet their makers sometime next year. Should they perish, it's a shame that it would happen just as they've shed the continuously variable transmission that was their major bugbear, and just as the Compass has gotten its best looks yet.
Both will roll with a proper six-speed automatic transmission, courtesy of PowerTech. Noise-resistant gears and tuning by Chrysler boffins should alleviate the unappealing sounds that were given off by the older CVT. Unless, that is, you choose to have either model equipped with Freedom Drive II; the serious off-road package, available on both baby Jeeps, will still come with the CVT. The base transmission on the entry-level Sport trim remains the five-speed manual.
Otherwise, it's minor changes for the Compass, set off by the new 18-inch wheel option, trim pieces around the car and a back-up camera. The Patriot gets seat-mounted airbags, but is carryover otherwise. With their expected demises perhaps a year away, not much has changed otherwise. Engine choices comprise the 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 158 horsepower and 141 pound-feet of torque or the 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 172 hp and 165 lb-ft.
