This Jeep has been my trusted companion for 5 years now. He's got character, through and through. There's a lot of great things to say about him and some struggles also so lets jump right in.

The Good:
This car is awesome. It is a very limited model and really hard to find even on the internet these days. Its been kicking since 1988 and is still in pretty great looking shape. In the 5 years I've owned it I've replaced the speakers, fixed the breaks, replaced the muffler, replaced the coolant tank, replaced the started, and various other little tune ups.

The Bad:
The Jeep is getting old and shows it a bit in quirky ways. I don't think any of them couldn't be fixed if need be... The first is it overheats easily if idling for a long time... if your driving its fine though... the issue here is the front fan isn't running. The fan works... the electrical to it though does not switch properly. The car also can get into a shaking fit at higher speeds. This used to be a simple left to right vibration but has recently become a bit more forceful and would need to be looked at.

It has heat and a radio and good speakers and 4 wheel drive and a good heart. It's been an absolute blessing as a first car and if your into classic Jeeps you should give this one a look. Feel free to contact me with any questions or to come by and check it out.

Has over 200,000 miles now and still kicking. The tires are oversized which means off-roading is excellent.

I live in Lexington, not far from downtown and work at home so I'll be able to show the car during the day usually or at night. Also my number is 859-825-8496.

    Video charts evolution of Jeep from military vehicle to SUV powerhouse

    Tue, Nov 14 2017

    Here's a fun new video from our car-obsessed friends at Donut Media. It shows the evolution of the iconic Jeep from its World War II roots to the forthcoming 2019 Scrambler pickup in a little over two minutes. Using illustrations and audio of Jeep engines and broadcast advertising spots, it's a fascinating look at the common traits that have persisted over more than 75 years and changing consumer preferences. Three companies originally responded to the U.S. Army's request in 1940 for proposals to make a quarter-ton "light reconnaissance vehicle" tailored to its specs — Bantam, Ford and Willys. The video starts by showing all three early contenders — the Bantam Reconnaissance Car, Ford Pygmy and Willys MB, which was based on the Willys-Overland "Quad" prototype, named for the 4x4 system it utilized. Willys eventually won the contract in 1941 to build 16,000 revised MB models for American and Allied forces. Willys would trademark the Jeep name in 1945 with its CJ-2A, a Civilian Jeep geared toward farmers. As the video shows, Jeep really started to diversify its body styles and colors in the 1970s and '80s under the ownership of American Motors Corp., which purchased the money-losing Jeep brand in 1970 from Kaiser-Jeep, which itself had acquired the brand from Willys in 1953. The '70s brought models like the CJ-5 Renegade and CJ-5 Laredo, and the video includes updates including the second-generation Wrangler Unlimited in 2004 and the Wrangler-based Scrambler pickup. Chrysler purchased Jeep from American Motors in 1987, shortly after the debut of the Jeep Wrangler, and has managed to hold onto the brand and ride it to success despite its own bumpy ownership trials and tribulations since then. Despite the many owners over time, Jeep has maintained its headquarters all along in Toledo, Ohio.

    Jay Leno rides high in Fab Fours Legend

    Mon, Mar 23 2015

    Jeep showcased some pretty awesome concepts at its Easter Safari in Moab a few days ago, but few if any of them were quite as extreme as what's rolled in to Jay Leno's Garage for this latest video installment. It's called the Legend, and it was made by aftermarket bumper manufacturer Fab Fours to demonstrate its capabilities. It's obviously based on the Jeep Wrangler, but it's riding high on 50-inch tires with a jacked-up monster truck suspension, giant fenders, a chopped-down red-tinted greenhouse and something its creators call a "grumper" that integrates the bumper into the grille. Or vice versa. Though most of the oily bits have carried over from the production model, it's hardly what you'd call "practical," but it's sure to turn a lot of heads... even one as massive as Jay's.
