Please save this CJ5 from LA!


Although I do drive the CJ a few times per week, it just isn't being used for what it's made for or capable of. My plan was to buy a few jet-skis to tow behind it. That didn't happen. So, I'd rather get this Jeep into the hands of someone who will use it.

Repairs/Upgrades:
-Last week I installed new BF Goodrich A/T 31" tires. The nipples are still attached.
-Alternator
-Starter
-fluids changed
-Speedometer/fuel/temp (although I don't know how to connect it so I just bolted in place bc the old one had yellowed and cracked)
-Aftermarket temp and oil pressure gauges (These were easier to connect)
-Bumper/hitch combo installed
-Valve job
-New points
-Timing was done last week
-Top end was rebuilt last summer due to a small leak
-Exhaust pipe
-Plugs/wires last summer
-Seat frames fabricated and bolted to floor (this is way stronger than the stock setup + it allowed me to add a center locking console)
-Seat belts (yes I had them added bc it didn't have any)
-Emergency brake (I also had this added)
-Brakes and master cylinder we installed last summer
-Heater fan fixed (still seams week, but I haven't had any use for it anyway)

It has what seems to be a 1-2" body lift, but nothing major. In fact, I get compliments bc it isn't obnoxiously lifted like every other CJ. It looks stock with a stout, tough, military feel.

The BEST part for CA residents is that bc it's a 1975- there is no smog check needed. You can have just as much fun as I have setting off car alarms.

License plates and tags are up to date and the vehicle is fully insured.

I'm considering a Lotus Evora. If anyone would consider this jeep a partial trade towards one we could talk cash after that.

I really appreciate your time in reading this posting. If this Jeep is not for you, please pass it along to someone whom it may be a better fit.


Thank you!

NHTSA investigating why Jeep recall fix is taking so long

Mon, 07 Jul 2014

Jeep'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.

Tue, 10 Dec 2013

The 2014 North American International Auto Show is right around the corner, which means it's high time we found out which cars and trucks would be finalists for the prestigious North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards.
The finalists - three in cars and three in three trucks/utilities - are dominated by American brands, with two-thirds of the finalists hailing from either General Motors or Chrysler (don't worry Ford, there's always next year), while outliers from Mazda and Acura can be found in each contest. Here now is the list of finalists for the big prizes:

Marchionne: Midsize pickup still not in the cards; Ram 1500, Jeep Wrangler could use aluminum

Wed, 07 May 2014

During the Fiat-Chrysler briefings on Tuesday, Reid Bigland, head of Ram Trucks, outlined the new product plans for his brand, including confirmation that an all-new light-duty Ram 1500 will launch in 2017. From there, discussions spun off in two directions, with the main questions being: will Ram build a midsize pickup? And, following Ford's move to extensively use aluminum in its new 2015 F-150, will Chrysler be using this weight-saving material for the next round of its fullsize truck, as well?
"I think there is room for a Ram 1000," Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne (pictured above) told members of the media, saying this is a conversation the automaker has been having internally for several years now. "We've tried this ... we've actually taken it to clinics," Marchionne stated, adding that the "response has been lukewarm."
"I have better use of aluminum in this house than a pickup truck." - Sergio Marchionne
