Up for auction is a 1980 Jeep CJ-5 that is not running.  It was purchased in January with the intention of making a strong, reliable Jeep but 7.5 months later I need to sell as is.

This is my 8th CJ that I've owned and this AMC 258 motor is the strongest I've had.  The transmission is a T-176 4-speed with a Dana 300 transfer case.  
Power steering and front disc brakes.   4" lift with 33" tires. 3:54 gears. One piece axles with Lock Rite locker in the rear.  All gauges and lights work.  Previous owner confirmed the motor is a rebuilt 1985 AMC 258.  There is rust at your usual spots.  Where the roll bar meets the passenger side floor pan needs to be repaired.  Rear passenger side corner has dent (see photo).  Driver window has 2 small tears.  There is an old Ramsey 8.5 winch with remote control. The battery cables need to be converted to mount to the top terminal post of the Optima battery.  

...

Before I talk about what the Jeep has, I'll let you know what it needs first -- or what my plans were.

1. Front bumper - I cut off the old hand-made bumper because it was blocking the spring shackles.  Rockhard bumper with winch mount is what I was planning to get.
2.  Radiator - old radiator is garbage.  Planned to put Be Cool radiator in.
3.  Motor mount frame horn passenger side - cracked in 2.  used one is $65 at Republic Jeep
4.  Rocker arm kit - I went to put a new valve cover gasket on and noticed a bent bridge.  Needs new bridge $18.99 at Quadratec for entire kit.
5. Front spring shackles - bent, my plan was M-O-R-E shackle reversal
6.  Tires & Wheels - tires have locker wear and wheels have some dings.  
7.  Tie rod / draglink - upgrade to heavy duty
8.  1 Headlight bucket, 1 headlight retawing ring, 1 bezel - between the two headlights, 1 of each needs replaced
9. Body mounts - all body mounts are in need of replacement
10.  Cut front fenders flat to be rid of dents

Next Jeep Wrangler to keep solid axles

Mon, Feb 16 2015

Jeep fans, you're not out of the woods yet, but the latest news is good: Automotive News reports that the next-generation Wrangler will stick with floating solid axles front and rear. Fiat-Chrysler wouldn't comment on the report, but the theory is that the combination of cost, capability, and ease of modification were deciding factors. We're sure the multibillion dollar aftermarket industry is also pleased. Remember, Jeep showed off the lifted Cherokee Dakar Concept at the Easter Jeep Safari last year, but the first ingredient in the recipe for jacking up its independent suspension was, "a whole new suspension." Above that there will be an aluminum body that's smaller than the current one, which Allpar says could be done with a narrower track and tighter gaps. It will sport a fixed windshield with increased rake to improve aero efficiency, and while there are rumors of a diesel-engined version that we'll finally get in the US, there's been no reliable info as of yet to back that up.

Chrysler, Nissan looking into claim that their cars are industry's most hackable

Sun, 10 Aug 2014

A pair of cyber security experts have awarded the ignominious title of most hackable vehicles on American roads to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, 2014 Infiniti Q50 and 2015 Cadillac Escalade.
Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek are set to release a report at the Black Hat hacking conference in Las Vegas, Automotive News reports. The two men found the Jeep, Caddy and Q50 were easiest to hack based not on actual tests with the vehicles, but a detailed analysis of systems like Bluetooth and wireless internet access - basically, anything that'd allow a hacker to remotely gain access to the vehicle's systems.
Considering this lack of hands-on testing, the pair acknowledge that "most hackable" could be a relative term - they point out that the vehicles may actually be quite secure.

Jeep Chief and Wrangler Red Rock Responder teased ahead of Easter Jeep Safari

Thu, Mar 12 2015

Jeep is being coy about it's lineup for the 2015 Moab Easter Jeep Safari, releasing just a pair of shots and an exceptionally brief press release on two of the seven concepts coming to the desert later this month. So, what can we glean from the limited assets that have been given to us? Well, as we said, we know Jeep is bringing seven vehicles to its big festival. We also know the names of two vehicles, shown above – there's the Chief and the Wrangler Red Rock Responder. Which is which? A fair question. We're betting the second image is the Wrangler-based Red Rock Responder. As for the Chief, well, we've absolutely no idea what to expect there. Jeep's Moab concepts generally include the model name on which their based – see the Grand Cherokee Trail Warrior and Cherokee Dakar from last year, or even the Wrangler Red Rock Responder, mentioned above. There's no such moniker on the Chief. As for the Chief's illustrated teaser image, as we said, it doesn't reveal much. The body is angular, and quite Jeep like, with squared-off wheel arches and decidedly old-school taillights. Beyond that, though, we don't have much to go on. Expect much more not just on the Chief and Red Rock Responder, but on all seven of the concepts Jeep is bringing to Moab. The party starts on March 28 and runs until April 5. Be sure to check back then for full coverage. Related Video:
