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.

Made in America | These cars top the most-American list

Mon, Dec 5 2022

The car with the most American/Canadian content for 2022 is ... cue the drumroll ... the Lincoln Corsair, in both standard gasoline-fueled and plug-in hybrid guise. Both versions of Lincoln's compact luxury crossover earned a score of 86 — due to 72% of its parts coming from one of the two aforementioned countries Â— in the American University Kogod Business School's annual "Made in America Auto Index." Last year's leader, the 2021 Ford Mustang GT (when equipped with a manual transmission) fell all the way to 22nd place with a 50% rating due to a switch in transmissions sourced from Mexico. In case you're interested, that puts Ford's red-blooded American ponycar below vehicles like the Kia Sorento, Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class SUV and Lexus ES. If you're wondering how an American car that's assembled within the borders of the United States could rank below a model from a Korean, German or Japanese automaker, well, we'll let Kogod explain: "The components of the index are based on research performed by the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor Michigan regarding the economic value of different components of auto manufacturing. For example, the highest ranked cars are made by U.S.-based manufacturers using American engines and transmissions, and with a high AALA percentage of U.S. and Canadian parts." There are 25 total vehicles listed in the Top 10 (there are lots of ties this year). Here's the full list: (1) Lincoln Corsair: 86 (1) Lincoln Corsair PHEV: 86 (2) Tesla Model 3 Long Range: 82.5 (3) Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray: 81 (4) Chevrolet Colorado: 80.5 (5) Jeep Cherokee Latitude 4x4: 80 (5) Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk: 80 (5) Tesla Model 3 Performance: 80 (5) Tesla Model Y: 80 (6) Dodge Durango Citadel: 79.5 (6) Dodge Durango Blacktop AWD: 79.5 (7) Honda Passport Trailsport: 78.5 (8) Ford F-150 2.7L, 3.3L, 5.0L: 77.5 (8) Ford Ranger: 77.5 (8) Ford Bronco automatic: 77.5 (8) Tesla Model S: 77.5 (8) Tesla Model X: 77.5 (9) Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 3.6L: 77 (9) Jeep Grand Cherokee L LTD: 77 (9) Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 3.6L: 77 (9) Chevrolet Camaro automatic: 77 (10) Honda Odyssey: 76 (10) Honda Ridgeline: 76 (10) Honda Pilot: 76 There's a whole long list of reasons for the above scores, with seven criteria that include factory location, headquarters location and where its various bits and pieces come from.

Jeep Cherokee faces on-sale delay

Sat, 23 Mar 2013

A report in The Wall Street Journal looks at some of the obstacles to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee that go beyond its mootable yet "very contemporary" looks, almost all of them based on Fiat's financial position. Starting with that sheetmetal, in defense of it SRT president Ralph Gilles and Jeep design head Mark Allen said they wanted to "make sure the design still looks modern five years from now."
The WSJ piece doesn't cite longevity as a factor, instead saying that its features originated in a design for an Alfa Romeo, the transformation into a Jeep design meant allowing Chrysler get it to market more quickly and save "hundreds of millions of dollars" in engineering.
The need for Fiat to save money while it weathers the European situation has cut budgets for development, engineering and the pace of retooling the Toledo, Ohio plant to build the Cherokee. In a familiar case of snowballing at work, among the effects will be pushing back the Cherokee's volume sales date and delaying updates to some of Chrysler's other products.

Jeep Cherokee won't get diesel until sales of oil-burning Grand Cherokee improve

Tue, 01 Jul 2014

Okay Jeep fans, you want more diesel options? Time to step up and prove it. The only way Jeep will offer a diesel powerplant in the Cherokee, according to brand head Mike Manley, is if sales of the Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel nearly double.
Currently, about eight percent of the Grand Cherokees sold feature the 3.0-liter, EcoDiesel V6. That's simply not enough to warrant the bringing an oil-burning Cherokee to the US market, despite the vehicle's presence in Europe, where it's sold with a 2.8-liter diesel V6.
"Cherokee is slightly different because of its weight and size. When I think about bringing Cherokee diesel here, I would like to see Grand Cherokee diesel get much higher than eight percent," Manley told Automotive News. "It would have to be in mid-double digits."
