1982 Jeep Cj5 Renegade 304 V8 on 2040-cars
Jeffersonville, Vermont, United States
|
Up for sale is a 1982 jeep CJ5 renegade. This jeep was purchased in 2002 with the majority of the work being redone between 2002 and 2011. It has a fiberglass body, metal fenders and metal hood. The jeep originally came with a 1974 304 V8. The 304 is really peppy and the top end has been redone by a professional mechanic. At the time of purchase, the seller told me the V8 motor had approximately 25, 000 miles. Since that time, I have put on approximately 10,000 highway miles. This jeep has never been off-road in order to save a very impressive paint job, and has been undercoated to protect the underside and frame. The paint is saffhire blue with 3 coats clear. Has headman headers and side exhaust coming out before the rear wheels. All interior gauges work, including the tachometer and clock. Sidelights w/blinkers also work. The gas gauge reads lower than it should, but a new sending unit comes with the jeep if you choose to replace it. The seats are ultra comfortable. No rear seat. The transmission shifts smoothly and the 4 wheel transfer case works great. This jeep comes with a rare T-18 4 speed with the first gear (granny gear) transmission which is super for steep inclines without touching the gas. It just goes and goes at about 2 mph. The jeep comes with practically new 33 x 12.50 x 15 cooper tires with only 3,000 miles. The chrome rims are beginning to see some rust scaling mainly from condensation by sitting in the winter. The vehicle was only driven in the summer and never driven in the snow and never plowed. The top is rated as fair. It does the job but if you want perfection, a new top should be purchased. Jeep also comes with a bikini top which is new. This jeep burns no oil, starts up at the turn of the key, and there are no oil leaks. Brakes are great. The jeep is a real head-turner, with a beautiful paint job, renegade stripes, and deep throat exhaust. Unfortunately, I have no room to store this wonderful jeep, and reluctantly need to sell. This vehicle is also being listed locally, and the auction will be closed if it sells. A deposit of US $1000.00 within 48 hours of auction is required. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer unless the buyer is close enough to pick the vehicle up. I've owned it for 12 years, and it's time to reluctantly let it go. Thanks for looking at this beautiful jeep. |

Chrysler Recalling Nearly 907,000 Cars, SUVs
Fri, Oct 17 2014Nearly 907,000 Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep SUVs and cars are being recalled for alternators that can fail and heated power mirror wiring that can short and cause minor fires. The recalls, posted Thursday by U.S. safety regulators, push the total number of recalls so far this year 544, totaling a record of more than 52 million vehicles. The largest of Thursday's recalls covers nearly 470,000 Jeep Grand Cherokees, Chrysler 300s, and Dodge Chargers, Challengers and Durangos from the 2011 through 2014 model years. The alternators can fail, causing the 3.6-liter V6 engines to stall unexpectedly. The problem also can cause the electrical system to fail, as well as knock out power-assisted steering, antilock brakes and electronic stability control. It can even cause fire or smoke, according to documents Chrysler filed with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. NHTSA opened an investigation into the problem in July, and Chrysler began its own probe in August. The company analyzed warranty complaints and alternators that had failed. The alternator generates electricity to recharge the battery and run other devices. Chrysler investigators traced the problem to heat fatigue in an alternator diode. Chrysler said it received 322 complaints about the problem, while 55 people complained to NHTSA. The company said it knows of one crash related to the problem, but no injuries or fires. The company will replace the alternators with upgraded versions for free. Owners will be notified in November. The company says customers who see warning lights or suspect a problem should contact their dealers. The recall affects cars and SUVs sold mainly in the U.S. and Canada, but some were sold in Mexico and overseas markets. The second recall covers almost 437,000 Jeep Wranglers from 2011 through 2013. Water can find its way into the heated power mirror wiring harness and cause corrosion. That can cause a short and could cause a minor fire and smoke, as well as cause loss of function of the mirror. The problem was discovered in February after three Wranglers in Canada were damaged. Chrysler says it has 26 complaints about the problem, but it knows of no fires, crashes or injuries. Dealers will move the wiring and install a protective shield to keep water out at no cost to owners, starting in December. Most of the Wranglers are in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, but more than 78,000 were sold overseas.
Jeep teases pair of Moab concepts early
Tue, 19 Mar 2013With the 47th annual Moab Easter Jeep Safari coming up at the end of this month, Jeep is preparing to roll out six new off-road-ready concept vehicles. The first two being teased are the Jeep Grand Cherokee "Trailhawk II" concept and the Jeep Wrangler "Slim," and while we have no information on either, we at least get an idea of what they'll look like.
We can't tell why this Wrangler is called Slim, but it has a nice black-and-red paint scheme with a serious off-roading front bumper and five-spoke beadlock wheels. There's even less we can figure out about the Grand Cherokee's Trailhawk II concept except that it appears to be painted up in the same Crusher Orange paint job as the recently introduced SRT Viper TA. We'll likely more of these as well as peeks at the other Moab concepts as we get closet to this year's Moab Easter Jeep Safari, which will be held March 23 through 31.
Consumer Reports digs Mazda3, disses Jeep Cherokee
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has just rendered its verdict on two of the more important cars to launch this year - the Mazda3 and the Jeep Cherokee. Considering the value a "Recommended" rating carries with the public and the viciously competitive markets these two cars compete in, Consumer Reports' view could have some impact on their initial success.
For Mazda, that's a good thing. CR spoke quite highly of the Zoom-Zoom brand's compact sedan and hatch, testing both models, and citing the excellent fuel economy and snickety-snack manual shifter as high points. Downsides to the 3 included a ride that is agile but "nervous," a bit too much noise and a cramped back seat. Still, the 3 was good enough to earn its place in the ranks of the "Recommended."
The Jeep didn't fare quite so well, with CR calling the polarizing CUV "half-baked." Although both engines were tested, the magazine called the 2.4-liter four-pot underpowered and its nine-speed automatic unrefined and unresponsive. That's particularly damning, considering the 9AT's role in future Chrysler products, including the extremely important 200. Overall, the Cherokee missed out on the coveted "Recommended" rating.
