1995 Jeep Wrangler Yj - Wow Epic Mount on 2040-cars
Kensington, Maryland, United States
4 cyl – 2.5L Manual 5 speed w/~150K miles
Recient work: Replace clutch, rear main, seal oil pan, change oil and all fluids. The transfer case was checked and resealed. The jeep is house broken. No leaks. I had it re-geared to 4:88 so it runs very well on the highway (both front and rear) axle seals were done while we had it open. Resealed the diff covers, new fluid. We painted the pumpkins orange. I seem to remember that we did the muffler and tailpipe too. One side of the emergency brake cables was stretched so it was replaced. Front breaks and rotors were done. The tires are 33” x12.5(Firestone Destination M/T ). I replaced the rusty hubs with new American Racing hubs. Tires and wheels are in great shape. The mounting plate for the winch was modified and winch properly installed. There is a lower radiator hose heater with plug in the front for winter. I put on the rugged ridge steering stabilizer which helped a lot with control on the highway. The mechanic called it death rattle, hitting bumps / potholes and bridge joints at speed is much improved. Added blue LED down lights, inside cab foot well LED lights on a dimmer & front grill light. I replaced front auxiliary lights and added two horns (for fun.) The controls are in the cab with switches for bunny burners, zombie lights and beer cooler. There is also an additional cigarette lighter and 12v 20A power circuit. New Wet Okole seat covers front and rear. Replaced windshield seal and worked to seal all leaks into the cab. It's a jeep thing. The floorboards are in exceptional condition. Undercarriage is in fantastic shape. The jeep was stored inside for most of it’s life. The Epic Mount stickers and Blizzard Entertainment stickers can be easily removed.
I put a new top and door covers on. I am pretty sure that I have the old one is in the garage. Everything I have for the jeep, old seat covers, misc door gaskets, etc come with. I didn’t know that the seat covers could be sent to the wet Okole people to be reworked rather than buying new. The jeep comes with a summer bikini top not perfect but kind of fun and a cover. Jumper cables so you can help other people assorted tools. Jeep cover. New light on the trailer hitch.
Potential issues? The previous owner reported that the AC is intermittent. I found that to be true. Sometimes it would work and sometimes not. I have not had a chance to investigate but it looks to me like the heater core was replaced. The lines get cold and I have felt cool air but it is inconsistent. Ahh, who needs AC in the jeep anyhow.
I don’t know what else to tell you. I have had a lot of fun working on the jeep and fixing it up. Most of the mechanical work was done in cooperation with a local auto shop. I wanted it to be reliable. Why am I am offering the YJ for sale? The divorce has taken it’s toll on my ability to keep my toys but my loss is your gain. If you are looking for a jeep that is in great shape then bid on this puppy. I hate to see it go but … it happens. I loaned the jeep to a friend last week. When we were putting on the top the back window zipper on the left side got stuck and is now missing a tooth or two. I am going to see if I can get the zipper back in or if I have the old back window panel. I've discounted the reserve to account for this. I drove it today and don't mind keeping it. I'd drive it anywhere (sidewalks ? :-) I see no reason this truck wouldn't go anywhere. I was driving 66 miles a day this past winter - no issues. Oh there was a little leaking that is evidently common to jeep wranglers. I think I got it figured out. Depending on your location and the final sale price I might be able to help with delivery. I have bought and sold several cars through ebay so I know what is like to get it home. Send a note if you have questions. Good luck bidding. On Jun-30-14 at 05:59:21 PDT, seller added the following information: When I went to register the milage reported previously was higher than it is currently. I asked the previous owner and he said they made a mistake in keying the odometer. I have seen the DMV do all kinds of weird keying errors so I'm inclined to go with the odometer. It is what it is. If you have questions or are nearby and want to go for a ride, let me know. Thanks for checking out my auction. On Jul-03-14 at 04:30:10 PDT, seller added the following information: Hello Bidders. Thanks again for showing interest. I never liked fishing for the reserve on big ticket items. I was not very happy about bidding against new ebay accounts with zero feedback. This is a real auction, there are listing fees, final value fees and it takes time to make the auction, post and answer questions if you have any, monitor the auction and all of that. Please be serious about your bids, bid only if you want to buy the jeep and only for as much as you are willing and able to pay. It is a wonderful vehicle and I want it to go to someone who is intereseted and make a fair deal. FYI - the reserve is set at $7500. I hope you are interested and only bid what you are willing and able to pay. Thank you. |

Jeep first American carmaker to return to Tokyo show
Sat, May 23 2015Despite foreign-brand car sales in Japan declining six percent in the first four months of this year, Jeep sales are up 21 percent in the same period. That could explain why Jeep will be the first the US manufacturer to return to the Tokyo Motor Show after eight years away. Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler walked away during the global crisis that struck after the 2007 show. Jeep will be part of an eight-vehicle, four-brand showcase overseen by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Japan, the local subsidiary. For the moment, it is the only US brand to sign up - neither Ford, GM, or even Chrysler are committed to attend. Stablemates Fiat, Alfa Romeo, and Abarth will be there, along with 13 other foreign makes, answering the "Technology & Fantasy" theme for this year's event. In total, organizers announced 15 brands from 14 Japanese manufacturers, and 27 brands from 17 foreign carmakers. The show opens to the public from Oct. 30 to Nov. 8. Related Video:
NHTSA investigating why Jeep recall fix is taking so long
Mon, 07 Jul 2014Jeep's saga with the National Traffic Safety Administration and the voluntary campaign to repair 1.56 million vehicles for allegedly unsafe trailer hitches, is getting yet another chapter. The controversy appeared to finally be over in January when the automaker found a supplier for the replacement parts. Nothing is ever that easy, though, and the government regulator is now requesting documents from the company to clarify why the repairs are taking so long to begin.
Jeep parent company Chrysler has until July 16 to submit documents and answers to NHTSA explaining the situation. The regulator claims that despite its compromise to inspect and repair the models with improper hitches in June 2013, Chrysler didn't find a part supplier until December and didn't order the replacements until January. The government agency believes that the first components weren't manufactured until May of this year and vehicles may not actually be repaired until as late as August. According to the report, if the Chrysler doesn't supply what NHTSA is asking for, the agency could "take additional appropriate action as warranted."
Throughout this entire process, Chrysler has asserted that the vehicles met the applicable crash test standards of the time, and it has kept NHTSA abreast of the repair activity. In a recently released statement it said that the regulator analyzed eight rear impact reconstruction tests and found the replacement hitch to be safe. To keep up with the high demand for replacements, Chrysler is working with multiple suppliers, and they are running three shifts, six days a week to get the parts ready as soon as possible.
eBay Find of the Day: 1977 Jeep J20 time capsule
Tue, 08 Jan 2013Is it just us or has eBay really become, of late, a surprising time capsule of older, barely used automobiles? We've had the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT with 83 miles, the 2004 Ferrari Enzo with 175 miles, the 1987 Shelby Lancer with 22 miles, the 1989 Shelby Dakota with 23 miles - none of those four cars ever even registered - and the 1975 Cosworth Vega with 191 miles. You can add to that list a 1977 Jeep J20 - the kind of Jeep that enthusiasts point to when they beg the brand to make another pickup truck.
Listed on eBay by Masterpiece Classic Cars in Whiteland, Indiana, the Brandywine and Alpine White truck has used its 360-cubic-inch V8 paired with a three-speed automatic to go just 3,940 documented miles. Not surprisingly, it's listed in excellent condition and the images appear to bear that out. The three-quarter-ton pickup comes with its original manual and pamphlets, the Quadra-Track four-wheel drive probably just as ready to tackle the terrain as it was 36 years ago. If only it came with some John Denver to play in that AM/FM/8-Track stereo...
At the time of writing it hasn't garnered a single offer or bid, probably due to the above-top-dollar Buy It Now price of $34,900. Still, since this is likely the closest you'll get to a Jeep pickup for some time, we'd recommend admiring it in the gallery of photos above.
