Up for auction is a classic 1982 Jeep CJ 7 Laredo. This Jeep is in its original form and has never been restored. It spent 95% of its life in New Mexico and California's dry humidity which accounts for its amazing shape. The Jeep shows its original factory paint job as can been seen in the photos. The original welding marks can still be seen as well. The paint does have touch ups as to be expected on a vehicle of this age, as well as one small area on the hood that the paint has worn away. The touch ups are small and have been included in the pictures. The body itself is straight and free of any dings or damage.The under carriage of this jeep is in absolutely amazing shape. It truly looks as if it has recently rolled of the showroom floor. Do not be mistaken, the undercarriage has not been touched in any way and the Jeep frame still sports the original hand written code as seen in the pictures. The engine and drive train have 128,500 original miles which is very low for a Jeep built in 1982, hence the current shape the Jeep is in today. The engine is the the proven Jeep 258 backed with a factory automatic transmission. All gauges and lights work as they should and are original to this Jeep. The only items not original to this Jeep is the CD player, small suspension lift, new BesTop seats, and updated wrangler hard top for better visibility. As you can see the word original is used often to describe this Jeep CJ 7, as that is the condition that the Jeep is in. The Jeep is a true collectors item and I have enjoyed it. The only small issue currently is a firm shift from 2nd to 3rd gear, it is only noticeable on aggressive take offs. I have been told this is a small adjustment issue, however I baby the Jeep when it is driven and it was never an issue for me. Please look through all the photos and if you have any questions feel free to email me. I am more than happy to provide a phone number for further discussions on the Jeep. I will also try to load a walk around video via youtube and will provide the link to those who are interested. My only reason for selling this Jeep is that I recently inherited my fathers Jeep CJ 7 and it holds immense sentimental value. Open bid is the lowest I'll accept for the jeep, so once a bid is placed the Jeep will sale. Thank you and happy bidding. I will also be more than happy to show this Jeep in person for those who are interested. Please do not bid if you do not plan on buying. For those with less than 10 feedbacks, please contact me prior to bidding or bids will be cancelled. Here is the updated link to the walk around video   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6nGWOIVSo0

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.

Fiat Chrysler wins top Total Quality Award for first time

Mon, Jul 20 2015

The Strategic Vision Total Quality Awards are 20 years old in 2015, and Chrysler has never topped the awards before. Until now, that is. Fiat Chrysler takes the overall award on the corporate level with six segment leaders from Fiat, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram. The Fiat 500 won Small Multi-Function Car, the 500e won Small Alternative Powertrain, the Dodge Challenger tied at the top in the Specialty Coupe category alongside the very un-coupe Mini Cooper Countryman, the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited took the Entry SUV category, the Dodge Durango won in Mid-Size SUV, and Ram took the overall in Best Non-Luxury Brand. The accolade means FCA has gone from one segment winner in 2010 to overall victory in five years. Cars have gotten so good, says Strategic Vision, that it is harder than ever to win. In fact, says the group, 18 years ago 85 percent of all vehicle brands had more than half a problem per vehicle. This year, no brand has more than half a problem per vehicle. The organization measures "over 155 specific aspects of the customer's experience," and scores are based on input from more than 46,000 customers. Other notables in and near the winner's circle include Volkswagen and General Motors, who tied for second place on the corporate scale, one point behind FCA. The Mini Cooper Roadster scored the highest of any model, the Corvette Stingray Convertible and Coupe scored the second- and third-highest. The Chevrolet Colorado is the first domestic Standard Pickup winner in more than ten years, and the Nissan Titan carried the Full-Size Pickup category. The press release below has all the details on how winners and losers are selected, and the full list of automakers and how they finished. "The Customer's 'Total' Experience Defines Quality, Fiat Chrysler Scores Highest in Total Quality," says Strategic Vision The 2015 Total Quality Awards® SAN DIEGO, Friday, July 17, 2015 — Unknown to many, when some consumer research firms rank a car company's quality performance they often do so by simply "counting problems." In the past, this may have been acceptable, but in today's modern and efficient manufacturing world the difference between the worst brand and best brand is LESS than half-a-problem per vehicle. Thus, any "quality ranking" based on this method is severely lacking in the complete picture of the "Total" Quality experience that customers actually use to judge their product ownership.

2014 Jeep Compass/Patriot sing their swan songs with a six-speed automatic

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

Unless the governor, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne, gives them a reprieve, the 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot are expected to meet their makers sometime next year. Should they perish, it's a shame that it would happen just as they've shed the continuously variable transmission that was their major bugbear, and just as the Compass has gotten its best looks yet.
Both will roll with a proper six-speed automatic transmission, courtesy of PowerTech. Noise-resistant gears and tuning by Chrysler boffins should alleviate the unappealing sounds that were given off by the older CVT. Unless, that is, you choose to have either model equipped with Freedom Drive II; the serious off-road package, available on both baby Jeeps, will still come with the CVT. The base transmission on the entry-level Sport trim remains the five-speed manual.
Otherwise, it's minor changes for the Compass, set off by the new 18-inch wheel option, trim pieces around the car and a back-up camera. The Patriot gets seat-mounted airbags, but is carryover otherwise. With their expected demises perhaps a year away, not much has changed otherwise. Engine choices comprise the 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 158 horsepower and 141 pound-feet of torque or the 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 172 hp and 165 lb-ft.
