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.

Chrysler recalls small number of 2013-2014 cars and trucks over engine debris

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

Chrysler is recalling a small number cars over issues with their 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. The recall, which affects 522 examples of its 2013 Dodge Avenger and Chrysler 200 models, as well as 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot CUVs has to do with potential debris in the balance shaft bearings.
The abrasive stuff can cause the oil pressure to drop, which could lead to the engine stalling or outright failure. This situation could at best leave drivers stranded and at worst lead to a crash.
Chrysler will begin notifying owners, who will need to report in to have the balance shaft module replaced. All repairs are naturally free of charge. Scroll down for the bulletin from NHTSA.

Jurassic Park made a big impact on these Jeep drivers

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

For a certain cohort of young folks, Jurassic Park is a touchstone film from their childhood. Not only did it play into practically every little boy's love of dinosaurs, the movie included some great action scenes and special effects that still hold up today. In its latest video, The Aficionauto takes a look the Jurassic Park Motor Pool, a California car club with over 40 fans who created replica vehicles from the iconic film.
The club is made up of an interesting cross-section of people. Many of them were Jeep Wrangler fans that already loved off-roading and Jurassic Park, and liked the idea of bringing them together. Like any close-knit club, it ends up being about community and people coming together to share their interests. It's quite a heartwarming video. Also, be sure to stay until the end because The Aficionauto teases a future Jurassic Park-themed vehicle. Scroll down to check out the motor pool.

NHTSA still mulling crash tests for recalled Jeeps

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

Well, no one should ever accuse the government of not giving things plenty of thought. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is still debating whether it will retest any of the 1.56 million 1992 to 1998 Grand Cherokees and 2002 to 2007 Libertys that were part of a recall regarding fires after rear-end collisions. And yes, this debate has been going on for over a month. In other news...
The recall dustup started in early June, when Chrysler took the unusual position of refusing a recall request from NHTSA regarding placement of the fuel tank on the effected vehicles. NHTSA said a collision could cause a fire, a position Chrysler took issue with. Extensive negotiations ensued, with Chrysler agreeing to fit certain Jeeps with trailer hitches, which it said would provide some protection to fuel tanks mounted behind the rear axle in the event of a collision.
Part of the issue rests with the amount of data that needs to be processed, according to The Detroit News. NHTSA administrator David Strickland said during a Washington Auto Press Association meeting, "There's a lot of data and Chrysler is being very cooperative in giving us more data." Until that information has been sorted, it looks like re-testing will still be up for debate.
