Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"The carburetor has an issue and may or may not need to be rebuilt. When the engine is cold, it is difficult to start without a squirt of starting fluid. Once the engine is running, it runs and idles just fine. A manual choke was installed but it does not seem to help very much. The prior owner replaced the speedometer after it stopped working at 38,965 miles. He guessed that the Jeep has about 41,000 miles on it. He said that the owner before him had left the Jeep to sit for many years without being driven. Since then the Jeep was still driven very little. The new speedometer is not very accurate with mph. The fuel gauge and temp. gauges are not working. The oil pressure gauge isn't working but I have the part to fix it. The rest of the electronics, lights and charging system work just fine."

I bought this Jeep all most a year ago as a vehicle just to have fun with and fix up.  Due to health issues I'm not able to do all the things that I have wanted to do with it.  If I could I would keep it because it is a fun vehicle to drive and it gets a lot of compliments.  I have only put a few hundred miles on it since I have owned it because currently it is not registered or insured.  With the carburetor problem that I described above, it might or might not pass smog.  I haven't had the carburetor fixed yet due to my health problems and lack of money to get it done.  I haven't taken this Jeep off road but I have engaged the four wheel drive to test it and it seems to work just fine.  Both the engine and transmission seem to be in good mechanical condition.  The clutch feels real strong and shifting through the gears is very smooth.  The Jeep has power steering that works well too.  The prior owner installed a new 12,000 pound winch that has not been used yet and a new CB radio that is a good quality radio with a lot of functions on it.  There is a new bikini top and half doors that are shown in the pictures. There is no full soft top but I do have the metal frame for one.  There is a nice custom made full roll cage for added safety.  There is almost no rust at all on this Jeep which is unusual for its age.  The only rust I have found is just a little bit on the inside of the hood.  The body, for the most part is straight.  It has some very small dents here and there.  I painted the entire body in camouflage which has received many compliments.  There appears to be about three areas on the body that have had some bondo work done.  The CJ 5 is a small type of body and is well known for being one of the best four wheel drive vehicles.  I think after the carburetor is fixed this could easily be a reliable daily driver vehicle or a fantastic hunters Jeep.

Jeep gunning to build 250,000 Cherokees a year

Thu, 21 Mar 2013

Contrary to what a certain politician may have said last year about Jeep moving to China, the automaker is in fact doing the opposite, with plans to greatly increase the production capacity at its Toledo North Assembly plant in Ohio. The Detroit Free Press is reporting that there are big plans for the 2014 Jeep Cherokee and Toledo North, as a local union president has informed the newspaper that Chrysler is planning to produce around 250,000 examples of the new midsize utility per year.
To put this number into context, 250,000 units is more than what Jeep Liberty sales totaled here over the last three years combined. Even taking into consideration that the 250,000 units will be distributed beyond US borders, that's an ambitious volume figure full-stop - and that's without taking into consideration the new Cherokee's love/hate design. In its favor, though, Jeep is making remarkable inroads globally as of late, and the Cherokee's size could work well in emerging markets. To get that kind of output from Toledo's Cherokee assembly line, Chrysler will reportedly hire 1,105 new workers - that's in addition to the 200 workers already being hired to build the popular Jeep Wrangler, which is itself expected to top 220,000 units this year.

Federal investigations about safety of rear-mounted gas tanks is nothing new

Sun, 09 Jun 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Chrysler are currently making waves in our daily news feeds due to a disagreement over the safety of a few million Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokee models. Specifically, NHTSA has asked Chrysler to recall the SUVs because of the location of their fuel tanks, but you may be interested to know that requests such as this are nothing new.
Besides the two Jeep models, NHTSA has launched investigations over the years in such models as the Ford Crown Victoria (and its police-car counterpart), GM pickups built between 1972 and 1987, and rather famously the Ford Pinto.
Understanding how automakers and NHTSA have dealt with fuel-tank-safety concerns in the past may offer a better understanding of how Chrysler and the government agency will settle their current dispute. Check out the complete article from The Detroit News here.

Chrysler says its 8-speed transmissions will save 700 million gallons

Thu, Jun 19 2014

Chrysler Group's TorqueFlite eight-speed transmission could be earning some serious green bragging rights if the company's projections are correct. The recently widely proliferated automatic gearbox, which is now in more than a million vehicles around the world, is poised to save drivers an estimated 700+ million gallons of fuel over the vehicles' lifetimes (an expected cost savings of $2.5 billion). In addition, Chrysler expects a reduction in CO2 emissions by more than six million metric tons. According to Chrysler, and depending on the vehicle, the TorqueFlite can improve fuel economy. The TorqueFlite autobox features particularly close ratios from fifth to eighth gear (see the press release below for the specific numbers), and uses low-viscosity fluid that doesn't need to be replaced. Transmission software adapts to the driving situation to optimize efficiency based on driver behavior, temperature, grade, stability control, and longitudinal and lateral acceleration. The TorqueFlite is capable of handling a variety of duties. As evidenced by the wide range of vehicles Chrysler Group has seen fit to equip with the eight-speed transmission, the TorqueFlite is capable of handling a variety of duties. Since its 2012 introduction, the TorqueFlite has gone from performing cog-swapping duties in Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 models equipped with the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 to changing gears in vehicles such as the Pentastar- and Hemi-powered Dodge Durango, Jeep Grand Cherokee and even the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel. For the 2015 model year, the eight-speed is finding its way into even more vehicles with the addition of a third version. In addition to the American-made TorqueFlite 845RE and 8HP70, the new 8HP90 will be manufactured in Saarbrucken, Germany. The 8HP90 is designed for higher torque loads, making it ideal for high-performance vehicles like the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. The already-in-use 8HP70 will expand its duties to be used in 2015 Hemi models such as the Dodge Charger, Challenger, and Challenger SRT8. You can see the list of those benchmarks in Chrysler's press release below.
