Reliable Jeep- I bought this Wagoneer sight-unseen while I was in Iraq in 2011. I had my wife and dad pick it up for me in Laramie, WY because I needed a good daily driver for my very short drive to work each day when I returned to Cheyenne. It has served me well for two years and would continue to be a great daily driver or a restoration or off-road project. It has some flaws, but works great. Here's what you're looking at:

-All original AMC 360 V8, 2bbl carb. Emissions were removed by a prior owner (I'm the third). Starts very easily and runs strong.

-Hydramatic Automatic Transmission: works/shifts just fine.

-Quadra-Trac (Borg Warner 1339) full-time 4x4 Transfer Case with low range: works great

-Milemarker 4x2 conversion (I installed this conversion myself, which converted the transfer case from full time 4x4 to part-time/selectable 2 or 4-wheel drive and added front lockout hubs... I'll include all the parts that were swapped out in case purchaser would like to return it to its original, full-time 4x4 state)

-A/C: original. When my wife and dad picked up the Wagoneer for me, it threw a belt. A repair shop advised them to unplug the electrical connection to the A/C and we've not had a problem since. Apparently, when the compressor turned on, the clutch was acting up and would cause the belt to jump off the pulley. I haven't had a need for a/c, so I haven't worried about it. Seems like a bad clutch, though.

-Heater works flawlessly. This is important during the Wyoming winters.

-All carpet and upholstery is original. It's in really good shape for its age. The only tears on the seats are on the driver's seat (see pictures) on the lower front-left side, and the lower-left side of the seat back. Other than that, they're in unbelievable condition.

-Hoodliner is gone in the front (from the back seat area, forward) and hanging on in the rear (above the cargo area).

-Rear Electric Window: Works from the switch on the dash, but the keyhole switch quit working. I'm sure this would be an easy fix, since the window motor/gears are still working fine.

-All interior door handles work. Window crank handles work, but the driver's side rear door window crank handle is broken (see picture). I've found this online for $10 (bjsffroad.com) plus shipping and attaches with a single screw.

-Body: See pictures... Surface rust on hood, roof. Bottom of driver door dinged/dented, rust on rear driver's side "dog leg" panel and both rear quarter panels, by wheel wells, rear driver's side bumper mount is broken and the left side of the bumper has been suspended by 550 cord- seriously (I did this just to get by until I could get another bumper but it completely hid the fact and I am just fine with it).

History (As I was told): The original owner purchased this vehicle in Laramie, WY in 1979. He had it until he passed, sometime around 2007, when it was sold by his grandson, who had inherited it but didn't need it, to the fellow I purchased it from, also living in Laramie, WY. He collected and fixed up old Jeep trucks for off-road use and told me that he had thought he'd get around to doing more with the Wagoneer, but just never did, so decided to sell it.

Since returning in January of '12, I've used it almost exclusively for my daily drive to work- about 9 miles, round trip. I do get it on the interstate occasionally, and it is really impressive how it handles/drives. It accelerates to highway speeds without a thought and is actually a pleasure to drive on the highway, even with all of the windows down. I have never "off-roaded" in it, but I have taken a 30 mile drive down the interstate and hit the dirt roads of the Vedauwoo and the Pole Mountain areas. The Wagoneer is just perfect for this type of outing and I have every confidence that, if I wanted to spend the gas money, it would get me wherever I wanted to go in it.

Why I'm selling it: With two young kids and my wife in school, my daily travel has increased drastically. So, it's not practical for me to keep this vehicle as my daily driver, anymore. While I have every confidence that it will get me where I need to go, I can't afford to put gas in it as often as I now have to. Hopefully someone else will be able to enjoy it the way I have, or even make it into something really special. Thanks for looking.

MotorWeek reviews '83 American Motors lineup

Wed, Mar 18 2015

The 30th anniversary of American Motors' 1987 sale to Chrysler by Renault is just a few years away. AMC is long dead, but for its latest peek in the archives, MotorWeek winds back the clock to somewhat happier times. Take a look at the entire AMC lineup from 1983, including its models from Jeep and Renault. The Jeeps, and to a lesser extent, the AMC Eagle, enjoy a cult following today, but it's amazing how many of these other vehicles are now practically forgotten. Even the big debut in '83 of the Renault Alliance is largely ignored. Although with a ludicrous amount of body roll and a 55-horsepower 1.4-liter engine, it's probably rightly buried.

Jeep Wrangler Copper Crawler is our idea of a restrained Mopar shopping spree

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

According to a recent report, the Jeep Wrangler is the most popular SUV for customization, and this is backed up by the fact that the iconic off-roader was just named the Hottest 4x4-SUV at SEMA for the fourth year in a row. Looking for ways to keep its customers in-house rather than going aftermarket, Jeep and Mopar are always teaming to offer exciting new parts and pieces for the JK Wrangler.
Compared to most other Wranglers on display at SEMA - as well as other Chrysler Mopar SEMA concepts - the Jeep Wrangler Copper Crawler is surprisingly reserved, but should be no less exciting for owners to give their Wrangler a distinctive look. Starting off with an eye-catching copper paint scheme, the Jeep then goes on a Mopar catalog shopping spree with its matte black grille, black beadlock wheels, two-inch lift, Rubicon bumper (with a winch and aero end caps up front) and rocker panel and taillight guards.
Jeep also upgraded the Wrangler's transfer case for low-speed rock crawling (hence the vehicle's name) and cold-air intake for extra measure.

Mopar introduces winter tire and wheel packages

Wed, Dec 2 2015

Winter is coming, and Mopar will try to help drivers stay safe in the cold weather this year by offering a winter tire and wheel package for a variety of FCA US vehicles for the first time. The packages combine everything drivers need to be prepared for slick roads, including winter tires, steel wheels, and Tire Pressure Monitoring System sensors. Even better, the company delivers them mounted, balanced, and ready for installation. Customers can order the bundles from dealers now. Mopar offers packages with the General Altimax Arctic tire on the Dodge Caravan, Chrysler Town & Country, Jeep Cherokee, and Chrysler 200. All- and rear-wheel drive configurations of the Chrysler 300 get the Michelin X-Ice Xi3, and the all- and rear-drive Dodge Charger models use the Continental WinterContact SI. Depending on the vehicle, prices vary between $242 and $292 per wheel, and Mopar will expand the program to even more models next year. Spending the extra money on winter tires really can make a difference. Experts are clear that the specialized rubber simply works better when the weather gets cold. They can shorten braking distances and improve traction – even with all-wheel drive. Plus, winter tires can often last for more than one year, which spreads out the investment. ALL-NEW MOPAR WINTER WHEEL ASSEMBLIES DELIVER ADDITIONAL COLD-WEATHER CONTROL 01/12/15 from Mopar Print this page Add this release to Your Downloads Mopar winter wheel assemblies include winter tire, steel rim, Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Assemblies delivered mounted, balanced, ready to install December 1, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - Winter is coming and just in time, so are all-new Mopar winter wheel assemblies. The all-new Mopar winter wheel assemblies are available for order for a variety of FCA US vehicles. Assemblies include a winter tire, steel rim and Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), and are delivered mounted and balanced, so you or your dealership can quickly and easily pop off all-season rims and rubber and put on cold-weather appropriate gear. "Mopar is rolling out our first-ever offering of winter wheel assemblies for those customers who desire a little extra control during the cold weather seasons," said Pietro Gorlier, Head of Parts and Service (Mopar), FCA Â– Global.
