Nice Restored 1975 Jeep Cj5 4x4 With Upgrades on 2040-cars
Rifle, Colorado, United States
Well I hate to do this but I need to sell my 75 CJ5. I built this from the ground up in 2010. No short cuts were taken and tried to keep the original look with upgraded parts all throughout. I have a lot of receipts for this jeep with well over 20000 in it. Here's the goodies Chevy Dana 44 front axle narrowed to CJ7 width Parts Mikes heavy duty inner c knuckles Moser chromoly axle shafts ARB air locker 5:38 Richmond ring and pinion Warn premium hubs 5 lug Ford conversion New ball joints, studs, bearings and brakes Hi steer arms PSC hydraulic assist steering ram Parts Mike Crossover steering linkage Scout II Dana 44 rear Moser chromoly shafts ARB air locker 5:38 Richmond ring and pinion Disc brake conversion New bearings, seals, studs and brakes Mountain off road traction or anti wrap bar Balanced and blueprinted Buick 225 V6 HEI distributor Howell fuel injection Live wires Navajo brake booster PSC hydraulic assist steering No used accessories were used on motor T18 4 speed with 6.73:1 first gear ratio Center force II clutch Parts Mike hydraulic clutch kit Shackle reversal spring over suspension with reverse eye rubicon express springs Drive train industries drive shafts Mickey Thompson Classic II wheels 37" irok tires Rancho 5000 shocks Advanced adapters headers with dual exhaust New 15 gal gas tank in rear Tube bumpers front and rear Bully Dog 9000 lb winch on front Warn fender flares Bestop full top Mastercraft seats front and rear Bestop half doors and bikini top LineX bed liner under body, in tub and engine compartment Body started out rust free and straight Powder coat primer on fenders and hood Grill dash and windshield frame is powder coated black. Smittybuilt full roll cage New Glass, wiper motor, switches, mirrors, body mounts, stainless steel fasteners ect ect. Everything on this jeep is new or been rebuilt when it was built in 2010. Some parts were extremely difficult to find but I did find them. All the spare parts I have go with the jeep The bad part is that last winter the jeep rolled out of my driveway and hit my neighbors truck so that is where the dent in the drivers rear corner came from. I took it to a local body shop and he said 500 dollars to fix it. I was going to fix myself but just don't have the time to mess with it. There are a few minor oil leaks mainly from the transfer case and transmission. There are some scratches in clearcoat from going through the brush. I will try and buff them out before delivery. The fuel injection is not 100% dialed in but runs good. I have several other proms you can try and if you just send them back to howell they will burn you a new prom for free. Other than that this jeep is solid with no squeaks or rattles or issues when driving. Handles great on the highway. I can run 65 down the interstate and it drives straight without wandering all over the road. I am sure I missed some things so if you have questions please feel free to ask. I don't really use this jeep very often and has maybe 25,000 miles on it since the build. Mainly use it for hunting and running around town. The tires are worn down from driving on pavement but they are still descent shape. |

Jeep Renegade sales being held due to powertrain issue [UPDATE]
Wed, May 20 2015UPDATE: An unnamed FCA US source has clarified to Automotive News that while there is a software issue, it does not concern the transmission. The Jeep Renegade appears to be facing early software problems that are similar to the ones at the introduction of the Cherokee a few years ago. The issue is keeping the brand's latest compact crossover away from dealers until the situation can be resolved. The fault reportedly deals with the software controlling the Renegade's nine-speed automatic transmission. FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne briefly talked about what was happening in an interview with Automotive News. "I'm having a very bad engineering day," he said. "It's a combination of attributes of that vehicle that is making my life horrible." The company boss predicted at the longest it could take until mid-June to fix things. Through April, Jeep has sold 5,157 Renegades, including 4,214 of them in that month alone. Autoblog reached out to an FCA US spokesperson to learn more about the software problem, but the company had no comment. Getting the software right to control the nine-speed automatic plagued development of the Cherokee. The issues delayed the model's launch in 2013, and the company was still releasing improvements for some vehicles this year.
25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango SUVs recalled over brake feel
Mon, 10 Mar 2014Chrysler has announced that it is recalling over 25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from several markets over concerns about brake feel under hard braking. The affected models are from the 2012 and 2013 model years, although the actual dates of production aren't available. 18,700 are in the US, while 825 are in Canada, 530 are in Mexico and a further 5,200 outside of North America.
According to a statement, Chrysler was informed of the issue by a component supplier for the Ready Alert Braking system, which primes the brakes in anticipation of an emergency stop. A component in the system was restricting the flow of brake fluid too much.
As Chrysler is quick to point out, the way the brakes functioned was in compliance with regulations and there are no reported cases of drivers losing braking power. Instead, the issue rests with what Chrysler calls a pedal feel that "was not consistent with customer expectations." So it would seem Chrysler is being proactive and fixing a problem not because there's a legal issue at work, but simply because it doesn't feel the way the manufacturer wants it to. Well done.
Chrysler adding 200 jobs at Ohio Jeep Wrangler plant
Fri, 15 Mar 2013Chrysler is betting that the Jeep Wrangler will continue its strong sales surge as it continues to push the legendary brand out across the globe. The Auburn Hills automaker is reportedly adding 200 workers at the Toledo, Ohio plant that builds the Wrangler. What's more, those new hires will be at their posts quickly - they'll be on the job by April 1. Of those 200 workers, 130 employees will be there to relieve those who need breaks.
Why do they need so many relief workers? The Toledo Jeep Complex is currently working at a torrid pace with two ten-hour shifts. A third shift has been ruled out for the moment because of a production botttleneck - the plant's paint shop is already maxed out. According to Reuters, Wrangler production in 2012 cleared 200,000 units, and US sales were up by 16 percent.
Another part of the Toledo plant is presently down as Chrysler retools the line to build Jeep's divisively styled Liberty replacement, the Cherokee (seen in our gallery below). Production for the new model is scheduled to begin toward the end of May.
