Last Of The Cj on 2040-cars
Palestine, Texas, United States
|
I have had this jeep almost 2 years. I will list what has been done while I have own it: 1. New brakes...calipers, rotors, drums, brake lines and stainless dust shields 2. New Warn hubs 3. New rock crawler steering box 4.New drag link and tie rod that has been reversed 5. Front axle has been completely rebuilt...pinion, ring gear and axle assembly 6. New dual exhaust I bought this to completely restore being the last year of the CJ. I was told by the previous owner that the original owners used it as a motor home vehicle and that the original engine caught on fire. The individual I bought it from said the motor was built for a dirt track car but ended up in the jeep. This is an extremely fast jeep and it has no problems turning the 35" tires. I don't know what cam is in it but it sounds pretty radical. It has a 5 speed tranny. There are several tops that come with it as well as the lines to hook up the a/c but that is all I know...may work...may not work. Floor pans are solid and rust free. It is lifted but I don't know how much. I have about 8k in the jeep with all the new parts. The reason I am selling is I have recently sold my machine shop and no longer have the equipment to do what I wanted to do to it. I will try and answer any questions that may come up. Thanks |

Jeep: Beautiful Lands
Mon, Feb 2 2015Jeep emphasized the global nature of its all-new Renegade in a 90-second spot during the 2015 Super Bowl. Starting out in America, and with This Land is Your Land playing in the background, the spot splices images of the all-new Renegade with scenery from across the United States. As a global product and the first Jeep built outside the US, though, the spot quickly moves beyond America's borders, showing Renegades, people and scenery from around the globe. As for the Renegade, you can read all about it in our First Drive.
Marchionne uses racial epithet to describe what must power future Alfa Romeo models
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Sergio Marchionne and his Fiat empire have a lot riding on the US return of the Alfa Romeo brand. The endeavor has been in progress for what feels like a lifetime - certainly for as long as Fiat has had the Chrysler brand under its Italian wing.
It's not surprising that Fiat CEO Marchionne needs a perfect first Alfa to mark a return to America. And here's where things get dicey. Nobody would argue with Marchionne's insistence that Alfa Romeo's be powered by Italian engines - as Marchionne himself is quoted to have said at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, "There are some things that are well done in Italy."
If not what he said, then, it's how he said it that has eyebrows raised. "I cannot come up with a schlock product, I just won't. I won't put an American engine into that car. With all due respect to my American friends, it needs to be a wop engine." Wait, what's that?
100,000 Jeep Cherokee models subject to further 9-speed recalibration
Thu, 29 May 2014It seems that the software problems with the nine-speed automatic gearbox in the Jeep Cherokee continue to mount. The programming already caused multiple development delays and even postponed the Cherokee's market launch by roughly two months. Now, Jeep has issued another recalibration to hopefully assuage unhappy drivers.
According to Automotive News, this reflash for the allegedly jerky transmission covers over 100,000 Cherokees built before May 5, but it's not technically a recall. If owners are having problems and complain to the dealer, they get the new software. Otherwise, they continue with the current version. New vehicles on dealer lots also receive the latest revision to the programming. It takes only around five minutes to install, but technicians need to take the Cherokee on a test drive to adapt the gearbox to the changes.
The Cherokee's transmission software has been problematic practically since the beginning. The Jeep plant in Toledo, OH, briefly idled its second-shift workers last year to take care of the issue. Since the launch issues for the crossover, demand has been strong. Jeep added another 1,000 temporary workers to the Toledo factory to keep up, and sales were on par with the Wrangler in just its first two months.
