1978 Jeep CJ5 Four Wheel Drive in Excellent Condition.

65,000 miles.
I have over $3,500.00 of receipts from the last two years.
When I purchased it, the Jeep was leaking oil very badly 
from the rear main seal. My mechanic said the seal was
dried out from sitting for so long in the previous seller's 
garage. Once the oil leaking problem was solved, the Jeep
has been a pleasure to drive. My mechanic repainted the
oil pan (it looks perfect), but I told him not to paint the valve
cover because I wanted it to stay original. The underside
of the Jeep is beautiful, with only very tiny spots of rust in
minor places.
The armor-plating was installed before I owned it, and was 
not put on to hide any rust, but to reinforce the body and to
make it look cool. There is no rust underneath the armor-plating
and it can be removed very easily.
16 inch Eagle wheels with a spare off-road tire and Eagle wheel.
I unbolted the spare tire and carrier off of the back of the Jeep
to make it easier to access the tailgate.  It also comes with a
large, steel basket to carry coolers, etc. which gets inserted into
the trailer hitch sleeve.
It has a wonderful three speed, manual transmission that is geared
very nicely for driving. I have never had it on the beach, and the 
previous owner never took it on the beach either. It has always
been garaged. 
The soft top is not in good condition (the plastic windows have
yellowed and cracked, but the side doors are in excellent condition 
(see picture of doors).
It has a new gas tank, new hoses, brake lines and other small 
improvements.  
I just purchased a brand-new Best-Top bikini top for it, and it 
can be put on or removed in seconds. It fits very well, and 
does a great job of protection. I like it much more than the full soft top.
This is the first CJ5 I have ever owned, and despite the lift kit and
large tires, it rides much better than I expected. It is very original 
and has always been adult-owned.
Reserve price is under $5,000.00.
This Jeep is really fun to drive (I drive it to work almost everyday), 
and people love it wherever I take it.
Serious bidders can call me at: (631) 513-9508 with any questions.
The Jeep is for sale locally and is sold in "as-is" condition. 
I reserve to end the auction early, and bidders are encouraged to
inspect the Jeep before they bid on it.  The CJ5 is located in
East Hampton, New York.
Thank you.

Australian Jeep marketing stunt goes awry [w/video]

Tue, 15 Jul 2014

Jeep fans in Australia are none too happy with the off-road brand following a contest that saw ten new Cherokees sold for just $10,000 Australian (about $9,400), roughly a quarter of the vehicle's price Down Under.
The contest, called the "World's Most Remote Dealership," gave Aussies the chance to snag an ultra-affordable Cherokee Longitude (analogous to the US-spec Latitude trim), provided they could get to a secret dealership in the remote wilderness of western New South Wales, near the border with the state of South Australia.
In order to get the exact location of the dealership, though, potential customers needed to download an app, which would release a phone number 9:00 AM AEST on Thursday (7:00 PM EDT, Wednesday night). The first ten people who could call in and prove they could afford to finance $10,000 and get to the remote dealership, were given the location of the remote dealership.

Updated 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee ace same controversial moose test it failed in 2012 [w/video]

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

Some background: one of the more scandalous international incidents of he-said/he-said from 2012 was when Swedish magazine Teknikens Varld put the Jeep Grand Cherokee through its "moose (or elk) test" and reported that the SUV nearly rolled over. That lead to a whole lot of accusations and rebuttals: more than one website and Chrysler's own blog reported that the Jeep was overloaded; Chrysler said Teknikens printed the magazine then let Chrysler respond, Teknikens answered all of the charges in a lengthy post and said Chrysler was given a chance to comment before it went to print; when Chrysler sent investigators to oversee the test and the Jeep didn't go up on two wheels as it did in the first test, furthermore all four wheels stayed on the ground when Auto Motor und Sport tested a Grand Cherokee in the same way.
Teknikens then re-ran the test with a new vehicle and said it's been doing this test since the 1970s, uses the loading information that Chrysler provides to the Swedish motor authority and the previous Grand Cherokee passed with no problem. In the second test, the Jeep failed again, then it gave Chrysler engineers access to the car's electronics and ran the test again. In that second round the Grand Cherokee didn't repeat the lurid two-wheel action, but in eleven runs it blew out front left tire seven times. Chrysler still objects to the results of all of those tests and maintains that vehicle was safe.
The 2014 Grand Cherokee was given its shot at the gauntlet in the latest round of moose tests, and Teknikens Varld reports that it passed without any problem at all, its stability control working perfectly, controlling motion at low speeds and all the way up to 44.1 miles per hour. You can watch the video of the new test and read the press release from the magazine on the updated Grand Cherokee below.

Jeep reportedly releasing Peugeot-based, Fiat-built baby 'ute in 2022

Mon, Mar 1 2021

Jeep is now under the same Stellantis-branded roof as Peugeot, among other European carmakers. It will take full advantage of its new ownership to quickly develop and launch an entry-level car, according to a new report. Anonymous sources told industry trade journal Automotive News that the yet-unnamed model will be positioned directly below the Renegade. Rumors of a baby Jeep have popped up time and again in the past few years, and most claimed it would share its underpinnings with the Fiat Panda 4x4, an immensely capable city car that's a regular sight in the Alps. Those plans have allegedly changed; the soft-roader is now being designed around the Common Modular Platform (CMP) that underpins the Peugeot 208 and the Citroen C4, among other models. Using the CMP platform unlocks several benefits. It's much newer than the architecture found under the Panda, it's highly modular, and it was developed with gasoline, diesel, hybrid, and electric powertrains in mind. It sounds like the first Peugeot-based Jeep will come standard with front-wheel-drive, and it will offer an optional four-wheel-drive powertrain consisting of a longitudinally-mounted engine that will spin the front wheels and an electric motor that will put the rear wheels into motion. Odds are the motor will be capable of powering the crossover on its own, too. Most of the powertrain components will come from Peugeot. CMP wasn't designed for hardcore off-roading, so we're expecting more of a shrunken Renegade for the boulevard than a downsized Wrangler for the trail. Fiat will build Jeep's smallest model in Tychy, Poland, in a factory that currently churns out the Fiat 500 and the Lancia Ypsilon. Production is tentatively scheduled to start in 2022, and it's too early to tell if we'll see the crossover in America. Its pocket-sized dimensions might keep it away from our shores. It will certainly increase Jeep sales on the European market, where models that sell relatively well in the United States regularly post dismal sales figures. For example, the Grand Cherokee is a seen as a leviathan of a family hauler and the Wrangler is heavily taxed. Peugeot's CMP platform will allegedly underpin the production version of the Alfa Romeo Tonale concept, too. Pegged below the Stelvio, the crossover was originally developed on the Renegade's bones — some sources claim that's still the case, and Alfa Romeo hasn't shed light on the matter. Reportedly, Fiat will later get a CMP-based car.
