 This is a fun little Jeep.  It starts right up (brand new battery and tune up) and runs excellently.  It has free flow headers and  dual exhaust, so it seems to have more power than the original cast iron manifolds.  I have the original exhaust manifolds if you want them to bring it back to original.  This is an early 1970 model as it was built by Kaiser and not AMC.  It has the original Buick Dauntless 225 V-6 and it is dry - no oil leaks what-so-ever.  When I got it 6 years ago it was missing many parts which I found and put on.  Namely, the parking brake handle and cables, the horn button, and horn contacts wire.  The original turn signal didn't work so I bought another and with the two made one good turn signal that works.  The wiper motor wasn't working so I replaced it.  (I have the other wiper that is not in the picture).  No turn signals (lights, bulbs and lenses) were there so I got new ones and put them on.  There is no turn signal on the passenger's side rear as originally there was a spare tire mounted there.  I put on a new front bumper, new chrome headlight bezels, and other chrome pieces replaced - hood latches and strap buckles.  It had no side view mirror so I got the correct style mirror.  New switch knobs, new gauge cluster with all new gauges, new fuel tank sending unit so the gas gauge works.  The glove box door was missing so I found one and put it on.  The two front seats are new Bestop seats, although a mechanic put a cigarette burn in the seat of the driver's side.  I added front seat belts - the kind that stand up on their own, so you don't have to go reaching and fiddling for them.  I put on a new steering gearbox so the steering is tight.  Also shocks and a front steering stabilizer shock.  I also replaced the transfer case and the 4 wheel drive works fine as do the manual hub lockouts.  I replaced a brown bikini top with the black one that's on there now as it looks better.  I took pictures of some half doors I received when I bought the Jeep, and just hosed them down to clean them as I haven't used them, but they go with the Jeep.  I replaced the brake and clutch pedal pads, but left the original gas pedal as it still looks great.  This is one way you can tell it has such low mileage - the gas pedal has minimal wear...  I took pictures of wheel wells and the inside so you can see there is no rust out ( just some surface rust).  As you can see the green in the interior is the original color.  Some one painted it red and then the black.  I know it was painted red since who ever painted it black did a lousy job of prepping and now some paint is chipping off.  This is I would say the only bad feature.  I said it was rust free, but there is a little rust in the floor of the passenger side toolbox (under the seat you can see the lid), but it is not bad and still holds tools if you care to put any there.  I have a boot and the boot hold down for the stick shift but didn't find it in time for pictures.  It looks to have a 3 or 4 inch lift which was done before I got it, but that just makes it better and able to handle those big tires.  I added the "4 wheel drive" decal to the tailgate (as original) and have "Jeep" decals for the front doglegs where Jeep is stamped, but haven't put them on.  I even put a "necker's knob on to help steer as there is no power steering or for that matter, no power brakes, heater, air conditioner or radio.  This Jeep is from the day when guys with hairy chests bought them...

  Well, it's a very small vehicle and I wrote up a lot about it so I probably have covered it all, but if not, feel free to email with questions.  Needless to say, I have a lot more than the starting price in this Jeep, but I am going to let it go for what the market will bear.  I just used it all weekend for dragging logs off my property and it was a blast.

Jeep Renegade recalled to prevent hacking

Fri, Sep 4 2015

Jeep is issuing a voluntary recall of some 7,800 Renegades over fears that their radios may be vulnerable to hacking. The company is quick to stress that this campaign is independent of the hacking scare earlier this year. Only Renegades fitted with the 6.5-inch touchscreen display are affected by the recall. Owners of the affected vehicles will be mailed a USB jump drive that they can plug into their vehicle for a free software update. Alternatively, owners can head over to the UConnect website, enter their VIN, and download the software to their own jump drive. (See how in our video below.) Dealers will also perform the upgrade free of charge. The software update provides "additional security features," that should prevent remote tampering. If this sounds worrying, it's actually not that huge of a problem. First, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles estimates that over half the affected vehicles are still sitting on dealer lots. More importantly, according to FCA, the vulnerability on the Renegade "required unique and extensive technical knowledge, prolonged physical access to a subject vehicle and extended periods of time to write code," making it considerably different than the Cherokee problem. No injuries or hacks have been reported by any Renegade owner. Related Video: Statement: Software Update September 4, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is conducting a voluntary safety recall to update software in approximately 7,810 U.S.-market SUVs equipped with certain radios. More than half remain in dealer hands and will be serviced before they are sold. The campaign – which involves radios that differ from those implicated in another, similar recall – is designed to protect connected vehicles from remote manipulation. If unauthorized, such interference constitutes a criminal act. FCA US has already applied measures to prevent the type of vehicle manipulation demonstrated in a recent media report. These measures – which required no customer or dealer actions – block remote access to certain vehicle systems. The Company is unaware of any injuries related to software exploitation, nor is it aware of any related complaints, warranty claims or accidents – independent of the media demonstration. Affected are certain 2015 Jeep Renegade SUVs equipped with 6.5-inch touchscreens. Customers will receive a USB device which they may use to upgrade vehicle software. This provides additional security features.

Jeep Wrangler Mojo and Cherokee Dakar teased ahead of Moab Easter Safari

Wed, 02 Apr 2014

Jeep has an annual tradition of debuting wild, new concepts during its Easter Jeep Safari, and this year looks to be no different. The automaker has already confirmed two of the six vehicles for 2014 - the Cherokee Dakar (pictured above) and Wrangler Mojo. This year's event runs in Moab, Utah, from April 12-20.
There are no official details about either of the concepts yet - Jeep will release more info on the new models next week. Judging by the pictures, though, the Cherokee Dakar appears to be lifted with some knobby off-road tires. The Wrangler Mojo looks to have a bulging hood that might hide a more powerful engine underneath.
Past vehicles at the Easter Jeep Safari have included a Hemi V8-powered Wrangler, a classically inspired pickup and modernized Jeep Forward Control. Since this is the brand's chance to express itself every year, hopefully it has some more sensational concepts up its sleeve. Scroll down to read the little information that has been revealed about this year's models so far.

Forum die-hards render upcoming Jeep Wrangler JT Rubicon pickup

Mon, Jun 12 2017

Our friends at JLWranglerForums.com shared the renders you see above with us, showing off their best guess at what the upcoming Jeep Wrangler JT pickup will look like. It's not due for a while yet, but we've already seen a lot of the truck (under heavy camouflage) – enough to piece together some renders. Some of the small details may change, but then again, the Wrangler is one of the great constants in the automotive world. Expect a lot of carryover from JK to JL. These renders reflect the latest gleaned from recent spyshots. Note the cut of the bed, which is angled to match the rear fender's forward line, tucking it nicely under the rear door. The doors will also not have a body line or crease running across them, apparently. That line will occur on the front fenders and the bed, but not on the doors, it seems. JLWranglerForums.com's has a good track record, and while there's no guarantee that the bits hiding under the camo and rendered here are final, this is likely a pretty good preview of what we'll see on the road soon. In the meantime, catch up on all we know about the Wrangler pickup here.
