I have a 1966 Kaiser Jeep CJ5 that has been restored! I bought this jeep in May of this year from an old man who owned it for 23 years, and HE knew the original owner. It was purchased at Barrington Jeep in downtown Columbus, GA. I has been kept here in Columbus its entire life. It only has 59k original miles! He took VERY good care of it mechanically so there was little to do in regards to that. He only used it as a hunting vehicle so he never did any cosmetic repairs. The day I bought it, I drove it home nearly 25 miles away and started taking it apart. I stripped it down. There was little rust. The biggest areas of rust were below the doors (the usual places). The floors were solid. After I stripped it I sent it to the paint shop. They cut out the rust areas and welded in new pieces. They stripped it to bare metal and applied a basecoat/clearcoat paint job to the original factory color. . .Spruce Tip Green! It looks AMAZING! This is a VERY NICE driver quality paint job. While it was in the paint shop I started refurbishing any old parts that could be saved and ordered new parts for the one's that couldn't be. After getting it back, I installed all the new parts, took the exterior components of the engine apart and painted or replaced what needed to be. As you can see, it looks GREAT! I even put on new original style decals on the valve covers.

This Jeep came from the factory with the super tough Buick Dauntless V-6 engine. It runs great and has plenty of power. You can't imagine how powerful this thing is!  The engine does not smoke and is in great condition. The 3 speed transmission shifts great and the clutch is strong. All the lights and gauges work and so does the heater. I can't list all the items that were replaced because it would just take too long. Make no mistake, this Jeep is NICE! I had the floor sprayed with bedliner and it looks great too! I put this Jeep back to original as closely as I could! I even stenciled the original "4 Wheel Drive" emblem on the tailgate just like from the factory.

The 4 wheel drive works great and shifts in and out of gear smoothly and with ease.

I have a ton of pictures from the day I bought it, all through the restoration process and of course the finished product. Pictures do not do this Jeep justice though! I have included 2 pictures of what it looked like the day I bought it. Most of what you see is surface rust. The frame is in great condition and does not have any rot or decay. Its rock solid!

 I do have the original metal hardtop and doors that will go with it. They have not been restored yet, but just need to be stripped down, prepped and painted. All Glass is good!

 The 4 tires on the Jeep are in great condition and have plenty of tread. I would say they have at least 85% left and have no signs of dry rot. They ride smooth with no shake or bounce

I've driven this JEEP to work 20 miles away several times lately and it drives GREAT! I easily go 65-70 mph and it holds the road great. No play in the steering and it doesn't bounce you all over the place. It drives much nicer and handles much better than you can imagine!  I have probably put about 300 miles on it since the restoration and would feel comfortable driving it just about anywhere.

 Please feel free to call me at 706-325-4360 if you have any questions.   I reserve the right to end the auction early unless the reserve has been met, as I do have it for sale locally

Jeep in St. Louis hacked from Pittsburgh

Tue, Jul 21 2015

One of America's most popular vehicles contains a security flaw that allows hackers to remotely commandeer it from anywhere on the planet. Cyber-security researchers Chris Valasek and Charlie Miller say they've accessed critical vehicle controls on a 2014 Jeep Cherokee that allowed them to remotely control critical vehicle functions like braking, transmission function, and steering. Automakers have downplayed the possibility a car could be remotely compromised, but the significance of the findings detailed Tuesday could cause them to reevaluate the threats posed to hundreds of thousands of vehicles already on the road. A key finding – the pair needed no physical access to the Jeep to pull off the attack. Valasek and Miller accessed the controls via a security hole in the Sprint cellular connection to Chrysler's UConnect infotainment system. In the course of their research, Valasek sat in his Pittsburgh home and remotely manipulated Miller's Jeep as he drove along a highway outside St. Louis. If you know a car's IP address, they say, a hacker could control it from anywhere. "We didn't add anything, didn't touch it," Valasek told Autoblog. "A customer could drive one of these things off a lot, and they'd have no clue it had these open attack surfaces." Remotely, he disabled brakes, turned the radio volume up, engaged windshield wipers and tampered with the transmission. Further, they could conduct surveillance on the Jeep, measuring its speed and tracking its whereabouts. They conducted the experiments over multiple breaches. They made their findings public on the same day the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the federal agency in charge of vehicle safety, released its latest report on the readiness of government and automakers to fend off these sorts of cyber attacks. Later today, two US Senators are expected to introduce legislation that would help consumers better understand the potential risks of car hacking. In the early stages of their research, Valasek and Miller found a security flaw in the car's wi-fi that allowed them to remotely manipulate controls from a range of about three feet. But in recent months, they found another vulnerability in the Sprint cellular connection in the UConnect system. That was a key breakthrough. "Lo and behold, we found we could communicate with this thing using cellular, and then more research, and 'Holy cow,' we're using the Sprint network to communicate with these vehicles," Valasek said.

WWII Jeep 'found in crate' set to cross Greenwich auction block

Thu, 30 May 2013

Fans of old military vehicles might want to pay extra close attention to the Greenwich Concours d'Elegance coming up this weekend. Crossing the Bonhams auction block on Sunday are a pair of seemingly flawless World War II Jeeps, which are both expected to fetch serious dollars.
Lot Number 305 at the auction is a 1945 Ford GPW Jeep that has been fully restored, which is expected to command between $35,000 and $45,000. Shortly after the Ford GPW, a potentially more interesting 1944 Willys MB (shown above) will be auctioned off, but Hemmings raises some red flags about this Jeep. First, it is claiming to have been "discovered in its original crate about 30 years ago," but there is no proof or documentation of any sort. Also, it is claiming to be all original, but it was given a paint job "shortly after it was discovered." Even with these questionable descriptions, this Willys could reach between $20,000 and $30,000. Head over to Bonhams' site and Hemmings for more information on both WW2-era Jeeps.

Millionth Jeep Wrangler JK to roll off line this morning

Fri, 17 May 2013

According to a report on the Chrysler Communications Facebook page and one fairly grainy image of the production line, at around 11:00AM Eastern this morning, the one-millionth Jeep Wrangler JK will roll out of the company's Toledo assembly plant.
The third-generation or "JK" Jeep Wrangler has been around since the 2007 model year, and has obviously been more popular than ever. With a greater than ever number of trim levels, two-door and four-door Unlimited models and hardy off-roading Rubicon packages, the JK offers more to choose from than ever for those looking for something in a traditional Jeep. In fact, with the modern 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 powering it, the 2012 model year saw more than 140k Wrangers sold here in the US; the best-ever figure for the model.
With a model refresh due out for the Wrangler in 2015 (along with the likely addition of a diesel engine option), we expect that sales will continue to roll right along, too.
