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. |

Aptly-named Hooligans motorcycle gang charged with stealing 150 Jeep Wranglers
Fri, Jun 2 2017Nine members of the Tijuana, Mexico-based Hooligans motorcycle gang are facing federal charges, accused of stealing 150 Jeep Wranglers in San Diego County, then moving them across the border, where they were sold or stripped for parts. "The joy ride is over for these Hooligans," said Deputy U.S. Attorney Mark Conover. "For many of us, our cars are our most valuable possessions," he said. "These arrests have put the brakes on an organization that has victimized neighborhoods in a different way, by stealing something very personal, something that has required a lot of sacrifice to purchase." Conover said the gang also stole dozens of motorcycles. The indictment alleges that the gang used old-fashioned shoe leather, a high-tech device, and a specific Chrysler dealership to pull off the thefts. San Diego County faced a rash of Wrangler thefts in 2014. Conover says most of the Jeeps were stolen in the middle of the night, and most were equipped with alarms, yet no alarm ever went off. Police were perplexed about that until they caught a break. On Sept. 26, 2014, a Jeep was stolen out of a driveway in Rancho Bernardo, where a security camera showed the thieves' method. Based on what they saw in the surveillance footage, officers sent Chrysler a list of 20 Jeeps that had been stolen and asked whether anyone had requested duplicate keys - and sure enough, a duplicate had been issued for all 20 - and all from the same dealership, in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The indictment alleges that the Hooligans would case a specific Jeep days ahead of stealing it, and would take down its vehicle identification number. Somehow they managed to obtain the secret key codes that would allow them to request a duplicate key for that particular Jeep. During the theft, the indictment says, the Hooligans would disable the alarms system, program the duplicate key using a handheld device, then simply drive away. The fact that Jeeps' engine bays can be easily accessed because of their external latches made the job even easier. (Authorities recommend Jeep owners purchase aftermarket locking latches.) Three of the gang members have been arrested. One was already in custody when two others were arrested this week, one of them at San Diego's massive San Ysidro border crossing. The six others facing charges are still at large and believed to be in Mexico. Seven are US citizens, while two are from Mexico. The collective value of the thefts is estimated at $4.5 million.
