1978 Jeep Cj5 Chevy V8 Currie Dana 60 And Ford 9in Custom Frame 37's on 2040-cars
Coopersburg, Pennsylvania, United States
|
I will be listing this Jeep 1 time. If It does not sell, I will keep it and work on it over the winter. Like most Jeeps, this one needs some minor things to be 100% I just don't have time for the Jeep right now. I own 7 Jeeps. Every Jeep has a story and so does this one. The person that re-built the Jeep was in NY. He sold it to a guy in DE. The Jeep had a Chevy 406 small block with over 500hp. Way too much for a tall CJ5. That person took the 406 out and sold it to me with a Chevy 305 V8. I suggest you look at the Jeep if you are serious and close enough by. It's garage kept in Coopersburg PA 18036. Clear title in my name. Jeep can be shipped. YOU MAKE ALL THE ARRANGEMENTS. There will be a $300 fee on top for shipping. The shipper normally comes on a week day and I need to take off work. Shipper cannot make it to my rural house, so I have to pay someone to rollback it to a shopping center. Jeep is not insured, registered, or inspected. It will pass, except I don't think the horn is hooked up. Now for the Jeep: Had a brand new frame, no rust. Think it's by Advance Frame Works, over 2k Unknown make fiberglass body and front end. Nice paint, except drivers fender needs repaint. Nice Best top soft top and soft doors. Currie built Shaved Ford 9 inch front rear, Detroit Locker, 3.73 gears Currie built Hi Pinion Dana 60, disk brakes, e brake, Detroit Locker, 3.73 gears These rears over 9k for the pair. They look brand new yet. Custom front shaft, CV rear shaft Has stainless hinges and mirrors Custom front bumper with 11k Quadratec Winch and 8 inch Hella lights Custom rear bumper with tire carrier. I have a brand new 37in MTR for it, but no rim. A rim is $70. Bumpers and winch/lights $1500 Oversize 25 gallon fuel tank, custom skid, reverse lights, LED rock lights, sunken rear tail lights, Rocker Gaurds Vanco power brake system, stops awesome with 4 wheel disc, over $500 Aluminum radiator with electric fan, over $700 GM SM465 granny 4 speed trans with adapter to Dana 300 twin sticked, 1k for that setup with adapter New flywheel, Center Force clutch, hedders, nice custom Flow Master exhaust system out the rear Chevy 305. I don't know much about the motor. Motor runs good, has new 327/350hp cam, new oil pan, new holley 600, HEI distributor. Motor actually surprised me with the power, new plugs, MSD wire, cap and rotor. The oil pan is dry and so is the rear main seal. The power steering pump has a leak at the rear connection and I think the valve cover has a leak. Interior has a custom dash, but is missing 2 gauges. Wires are there for the gauges. Needs Volt and temp gauge. Oil pressure is 60 - 80lbs when running. PAINLESS wiring harness Tilt wheel, tuffy steel center console with a CD player and amp. Speakers in dash and on the floor. Seat covers are a little faded, there are harnesses for seatbelts. Has a rear seat Has a full roll cage tied into the frame. The spreader bars are too far in and right over your head. Bars need to be mover toward the outside. Rims are brand new steel $300 Tires are Goodyear MTR. The 4 on the Jeep all have over 1/2 tread and they are radial 37 x 12.5 x 17 spare is Brand New Has a AGR steering box and borgenson steering shaft $500 Dual shocks up front, dual stabilizers Has working heater I'm sure there is more I'm missing. Needs rollbar spreaders moved, some gauges in dash, stereo wires hooked up. Needs battery The AGR box is a quick ratio. I can sit at idle and turn the steering wheel with my pinky and turn the 37's. This makes for some touching steering while going down the road. I would put a stock box in and sell that AGR. I can drive it, I've had over 20 Jeeps. I had a computer alignment and it's right on. Fix the one or two small leaks. Oil pan and rear main is good, don't think intake is leaking. Original owner lifted the Jeep with spring under springs. The pack consists of 12 leafs. Also has about 1 1/2inch body lift. I would take some springs out of the pack or just buy 4 new BDS springs and drop it down a little. That's an honest description of this Jeep. I have 100 percent feedback. The frame and rears are less then the starting bid. Like I said, I will keep it if it doesn't sell and work on it over the winter. I do have a trailer. I can deliver the Jeep, with full payment, up to 150 miles for $2 a loaded mile. Can store, with full payment for up to 2 weeks. |

Jeep gives a trio of customs an encore showing at SEMA
Wed, 05 Nov 2014While Jeep certainly had some new customs on display at this year's SEMA show, it wasn't afraid to recycle a few that people might have missed from earlier this year. The maker of many beloved off-roaders already displayed the Jeep Cherokee Dakar, Maximum Performance Wrangler and Wrangler Mojo at the 2014 Easter Safari, but they all made it to SEMA for an encore.
Based around the Trailhawk, the Cherokee Dakar (pictured above) imagines an even more off-road-capable version of the crossover. The concept wears a mix of Silver Steel Stain paint with Flame Red graphics and rides on 17-inch wheels wrapped in 33-inch BFGoodrich Mud Terrain tires. To back up the rugged look, the Dakar is fitted with rock rails and skid plates protecting the oil pan, front suspension, fuel tank and other underbody parts. It also sports prototype parts from Jeep Performance Parts, including a lift kit and fender flares.
The Wrangler is one of the paragons of off-roading, and as the name suggests, the Maximum Performance Wrangler concept is meant to be the ultimate example of what it can do. The custom features locking Dana 60 axles front and rear, a 4:1 Rock-Trac transfer case, prototype 4-inch lift kit and 37-inch Mud Terrain tires over beadlock wheels. To stay on the trails well into the night, a bar of LEDs is mounted above the windshield. And finally, the Mopar Blue exterior kind of makes the vehicle look like the world's toughest blueberry.
FCA plants skipping summer shutdown to keep up with demand
Thu, May 14 2015Hopefully, some FCA US factory employees don't have big plans for the usual summer shutdown, because the automaker is keeping several plants running this year. Demand is so high that the company wants to keep models rolling off the assembly lines. Four FCA US assembly plants, all the engine factories, and some locations that build transmissions are staying open throughout the summer, according to the Detroit Free Press. Usually, these sites would see a two-week shutdown for the company to retool and perform repairs. This year, factories are staying open for FCA to support its strong sales. The lines that remaining humming through the summer show an inclination toward the automaker's popular SUV's and crossovers. They include the Jefferson North Assembly Plant in Michigan that builds the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango; Saltillo Van Assembly in Mexico that constructs the Ram ProMaster; Toledo Assembly Complex in Ohio that produces the Cherokee and Wrangler; and Toluca Assembly in Mexico that makes the Dodge Journey and Fiat 500.

Chrysler registers Trackhawk trademark
Wed, 01 Oct 2014There may not be many ways to forecast what an automaker is planning for the future, but there are some. Trademark applications are one of them, and Chrysler has just applied with the US Patent and Trademark Office to protect the name "Trackhawk." The question is, what's it planning on using it for? We don't know for sure, but we can put together an educated guess or two. And one guess is that Jeep will use the name to replace the letters SRT on the performance version of the Grand Cherokee.
How do we figure, you ask? From a number of developments. For starters, the SRT division has been reintegrated into the Dodge brand. Those letters currently appear on only two vehicles from outside the Dodge lineup: one is the Grand Cherokee SRT, and the other is the Chrysler 300 SRT. We've heard ruminations (however unconfirmed) that the latter could be either discontinued or possibly relabeled, and if the same proves true of the GC, the Trackhawk name could serve as a on-road performance counterpart to the Trailhawk label applied to off-road versions of models like the Cherokee and Renegade.
Logical it may be, but it's hardly a foregone conclusion. The Trackhawk name could just as easily be used for a new concept (like the Trailhawk name was in 2007), for another kind of trim level or for something else entirely. In fact we don't even know for sure it'll be used by the Jeep brand specifically, or used at all for that matter. Automakers have been known, after all, to register names they don't end up using.
