A factory front bumper with factory fog lights will be remounted or if you buy something and ship it to us, we will mount it for you. Now to what makes this Jeep the eye candy it is. We are GR8TOPS and we make this hardtop. This was the first prototype Safari Cab we introduced for the LJ's. We used this jeep to initially create and fit the production molds for the Safari Cab. The Safari Cab that is on this LJ was the very first prototype top. Here at GR8TOPS, we love anything old school Jeep. The Safari Top oozes old school Jeep. Modeled after the Meyers hardtops in the late 70s and the World Cab hardtops that were on export Overlander CJ-8s and the rare Alaskan postal Scramblers, these unique looking hardtops give your Wrangler Unlimited LJ an appearance like nothing on the market today. This top has hardcore roots in (somewhat obscure) Jeep history. The retail price on the hardtop is $4100 plus about $1100 for installation and color match painting. The complete hardtop kit consists of the following basic body panels two side panels that wrap around the rear corners of the jeep and contain the side sliding windows and rear quarter windows two door surround panels that bolt to the side panels and attach to the windshield frame one roof panel complete with integrated drip rail and inner shell for mounting accessories one upper tailgate panel that contains the rear door window and which converts your tailgate into a full-height rear barn door This multi-panel design gives you two options on removing the top: 1. Each of the five panels that comprise the top can be unbolted individually to be removed from the Jeep.Safari Cab. 2. You can remove the whole hardtop at once like a traditional hardtop. Aside from the unique multi-panel design, these tops feature: sliding/screened side windows and four additional small windows easily removable rear barn door upper insert that opens with the tailgate integrated inner roof support system and center console that allows mounting of minor accessory items (CB, small switch panels etc) exterior finish of body panels to color match your Jeep Full disclosure. We bought this jeep as a repairable wreck with around 35000 miles on it several years back. It was hit "soft" above the rail, in the grill and fenders. We just replaced the following to repair and and had it back on road in about 2 days. 2 fenders, grill, radiator, condenser, headlights and turn signals. No airbags were blown nor any frame damaage. We basically bolted everything back on after getting parts from the paint shop. Reapplied and got a clear SC title back. It currently has a valid, clear SC regular title on it. NOT salvage but I'm guessing it probably has salvage history if you look at carfax or the history thingy when you put in the ebay for VIN information. I can provide "before" pictures if anyone requests. We've put over 45000 miles on it without any issues. Ebay requires that you actually list it as "reconstructed" "rebuilt" but the title is actually a clear title. I can provide copy of title upon request. $500 non refundable payment due within 48 hours. Balance due open pickup of vehicle. Pickup and remaining balance due within 15 days. Buyer pays and arranges shipment of the Jeep. I will work with buyer on making sure jeep is available for shipment if that method is chosen. please email us with any questions GR8TOPS AT gmail.com

The fascinating history of the Popemobile
Tue, Sep 22 2015Pope Francis will be arriving today in the US for a variety of stops, including the World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia, PA. While here, the Pontiff won't be riding in the usual Mercedes-Benz Popemobile, but instead will make a more American switch to a modified Jeep Wrangler, according to the Washington Post. It'll feature a protected front, top, and rear, but the sides will be open for His Holiness to see the throngs of people gathering for him. For hundreds of years, Popes were transported in horse-drawn carriages or sometimes carried in an enclosed chair by footmen, but His Holiness finally traded for some real horsepower in 1929. While his ride sometimes varied depending on the country being visited, a Mercedes-Benz was generally the common choice. However, the Pontiffs have ridden in everything from a modified GMC Sierra to a Ferrari Mondial over the past few decades. Pope Francis has definitely preferred more plebeian transportation, though, including a Renault 4 running on biofuel. A trip to South Korea even put him in a Kia Soul, and he opted for an Isuzu D-Max in the Philippines. The Post's whole list is quite a fun read, and it's fascinating to see how the Popemobiles evolve over time. Related Video:
NHTSA closes investigation into Jeep Liberty fires
Sun, 16 Mar 2014The investigation that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened into the Jeep Liberty in October 2013 has been closed. NHTSA received two (!) complaints about fires starting in the driver's door, thought to be caused by the master power window switch. The initial estimate was that 80,000 Libertys could be roped into a possible recall, but according to a report in the Detroit News the agency examined records for 425,000 Chrysler products that used the same window switch, including the Dodge Nitro and Chrysler Town & Country minivan.
After canvassing 265 warranty claims related to the master switches, NHTSA concluded that the rate of fires compared to the "large population of vehicles" was rather low, and that there was no trend pattern behind the few issues it did find. Perhaps with that, and the closure of the trailer hitch investigation, the Liberty can finally rest in peace.
Stellantis ready to kill brands and fix U.S. problems, CEO Tavares says
Thu, Jul 25 2024Â MILAN — Stellantis is taking steps to fix weak margins and high inventory at its U.S. operations and will not hesitate to axe underperforming brands in its sprawling portfolio, its chief executive Carlos Tavares said on Thursday. The warning for lossmaking brands is a turnaround for Tavares, who has maintained since Stellantis was created in 2021 from the merger of Italian-American automaker Fiat Chrysler and France's PSA that all of its 14 brands including Maserati, Fiat, Peugeot and Jeep have a future. "If they don't make money, we'll shut them down," Carlos Tavares told reporters after the world's No. 4 automaker delivered worse-than-expected first-half results, sending its shares down as much as 10%. "We cannot afford to have brands that do not make money." The automaker now also considers China's Leapmotor as its 15th brand, after it agreed to a broad cooperation with the group. Stellantis does not release figures for individual brands, except for Maserati which reported an 82 million euro adjusted operating loss in the first half. Some analysts say Maserati could possibly be a target for a sale by Stellantis, while other brands such as Lancia or DS might be at risk of being scrapped given their marginal contribution to the group's overall sales. Stellantis' Milan-listed shares were down as much as 12.5% on Thursday, hitting their lowest since August 2023. That brings the loss for the year so far to 22%, making them the worst performer among the major European automakers. Few automotive brands have been killed off since General Motors ditched the unprofitable Saturn and Pontiac during a U.S. government-led bankruptcy in the global financial crisis in 2008. Tavares is under pressure to revive flagging margins and sales and cut inventory in the United States as Stellantis bets on the launch of 20 new models this year which it hopes will boost profitability. Recent poor results from global carmakers have heightened worries about a weakening outlook for sales across major markets such as the U.S., whilst they also juggle an expensive transition to electric vehicles and growing competition from cheaper Chinese rivals. Japan's Nissan Motor saw first-quarter profit almost completely wiped out on Thursday and slashed its annual outlook, as deep discounting in the United States shredded its margins. Tavares said he would be working through the summer with his U.S. team on how to improve performance and cut inventory.
