 Up for auction is a custom built Jeep CJ5. This Jeep was built built for trail riding with mild street use. With a little work like sway bar and alignment it could probably be driven on the street. The rear end is fully locked so it is a little rough on the street. This Jeep has a 97 Jeep wrangler engine 4.0 with Borla header, and a power aid throttle body spacer. Its wicked for a 6cyl to say the least. It has a 94 Jeep YJ wiring harness and pcm for simplicity. New alternator. Painless wiring harness for the rest of the Jeep. Stainless backing plates for brake discs. Stainless lines throughout. One piece axle upgrade. Front is dana 30 rear is amc 20. The ax15 5spd was adapted to a dana 300 with twin sick shifter. This Jeep was basically rebuilt from frame up. It was stripped and pressure washed. Sanded and primed. The frame has a light textured spray bedliner. Clean durable and easy to work on. Not all gooped up. The body is satin tan. Inside is spraybedliner. Has a new stereo with all the latest hookups for ipod, droid and phone connect with bluetooth and a microphone. Speakers are not the greatest. The Jeep has not had any real miles put on it since being rebuilt due to a driveline vibration. It has a pretty short driveshaft with the double cardigan joint. All the joints seem smooth out of the Jeep but when in it vibrates. Im out of time and money to work on it any longer and willing to sell at a discounted price. I would reccomend towing this Jeep and going over it or having a shop go over it before taking of down the highway or trail. It runs and drives as is just vibrates.  I dont want to mislead anyone on this Jeep. Its very strong and reliable. it was not slapped together. I do not know any miles on any part of it. i know the engine is smooth with no noises and no smoke. all lights and gauges work. wipers work. Jeep is geared 4.56 and has 35"x12.50"x15 tires. There is no top. Grade 8 bolts throughout frame. New ubolts. Shocks feel a little weak. All and all this is a killer jeep with an awesome look. I'd say one weekend in the garage and get the driveshaft figured out and you would be ready to hit the trails. The jeep is title as a 1973. Great for areas with emissions. I will not give out the reserve. There is no warranty. No refunds of any kind. Please ask all questions before bidding. Deposit with 24 hours of auction end. 3 days to have paid in full. and 5 days to have it picked up. I can help with shipping at your expense.

Hendrick wants to put Jeep Wranglers back on the battlefield

Mon, Jan 25 2016

The Jeep Wrangler could be headed back to the battlefield. According to reports, negotiations are currently under way with the US Army to adapt the iconical American off-roader for military use. The Wranglers would serve as inexpensive, lightweight, unarmored vehicles that could be more easily airlifted into remote locations than costlier, heavier, and bulkier options. The proposal is not being fielded by the Jeep brand itself or its parent company Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, but by Hendrick Dynamics. The Charlotte-based offshoot of NASCAR racing team Hendrick Motorsports calls its modified Wrangler the Hendrick Commando. Instead of the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 found in most US-market Wranglers, the Commando version employs the 2.8-liter diesel four built by VM Motori, modified to run on any type of diesel fuel or on JP-8 jet fuel to maximize its deployment versatility and comply with the Army's Single Fuel mandate of 2012. It would also support a variety of modular attachments for specific jobs, ranging from machine gun mounts and counter-mine rakes to radar arrays and advanced communications equipment. Hendrick says the Commando could also be deployed by helicopter or in cargo planes. And because it's based on a civilian platform, the Commando would also benefit from the latest advancements introduced by its manufacturer, the parts and service network already in place, and the thorough testing that's already gone into developing the Wrangler for civilian use. Hendrick has reportedly built 14 prototypes to date, including the two-door Commando 2 (based on the standard Wrangler), the four-door Commando 4 (based on the Wrangler Unlimited), and even a pickup conversion called the Commando S. It is not, however, the only company adapting Jeep Wranglers for military application. Israel-based Automotive Industries Ltd has been producing successive versions of the Wrangler-based Storm for use by the Israel Defense Forces and other militaries overseas since 1990. If the US Army awards the contract for the Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) vehicle to Hendrick Dynamics, it would bring the iconic Jeep back to the battlefield where it got its start. The brand and its most prolific model trace their roots back to the Willys MB, launched in 1941 on contract from the US Army for deployment in World War II.

Reveling in the reveals: BRZ, Civic, Wrangler, QX55

Thu, Nov 19 2020

It’s almost like there should have been an auto show this week. If youÂ’re an enthusiast, you know the week before Thanksgiving is when the Los Angeles Auto Show kicks off. This year, thereÂ’s no L.A. show, at least until next May. But Subaru, Honda, Jeep and Infiniti rolled out significant new products this week, making us almost nostalgic for auto shows. Serendipity, or more likely previously allocated marketing budgets, gave us a familiar feel of new products, even though we couldnÂ’t feel or touch them under the bright lights of the Los Angeles Convention Center. LetÂ’s break them down: 2022 Subaru BRZ 2022 Subaru BRZ View 62 Photos Subaru stuck to basic formula here: The 2022 BRZ remains a rear-wheel drive sports coupe thatÂ’s supremely lightweight, adequately powered and attractive. Subaru debuts its new boxer four-cylinder in the BRZ. ItÂ’s rated at 223 hp and you need to rev all the way to 7,000 rpm to achieve that output. I'd prefer a bit more than the 184 lb-ft of torque the powerplant offers (reasonably low in the band at 3,700 rpm), for some more off-the-line grunt. Say 200 lb-ft, though itÂ’s almost a cliche to argue the BRZ is underpowered.  The outgoing BRZ is one of the purest cars IÂ’ve driven, so rather than harp on the power, which will ultimately be fine, give Subaru props for focusing on chassis improvements to improve rigidity by 60 percent and aid turn-in. Admirably, the curb weight is less than 2,900 pounds, and the manual in Premium trim checks in at the lowest, just 2,815 pounds.  Aesthetically, I like it. ItÂ’s busier than before, and thereÂ’s a lot more going on with the front fascia, wheel arches and fenders. ThereÂ’s a bit of a Porsche vibe up front, which is good, and a bit of a Honda Civic vibe in back (think 2010) thatÂ’s not.  ItÂ’s impressive that Subaru resisted the urge to gratuitously power up the BRZ and remained focused on the essence of its goodness and appeal to enthusiasts. 2021 Jeep Wrangler 392 2021 Jeep? Wrangler Rubicon 392 View 75 Photos What effect will the 2021 Ford Bronco have on the Jeep Wrangler? One school of thought is that it will actually make the Jeep better, and the 2021 Wrangler 392 is proof positive that will be the case. With the Bronco attracting spectacular levels of attention, Jeep could not sit idly by and remain focused on incremental changes. It needed to make a splash.

Millionth Jeep Wrangler JK to roll off line this morning

Fri, 17 May 2013

According to a report on the Chrysler Communications Facebook page and one fairly grainy image of the production line, at around 11:00AM Eastern this morning, the one-millionth Jeep Wrangler JK will roll out of the company's Toledo assembly plant.
The third-generation or "JK" Jeep Wrangler has been around since the 2007 model year, and has obviously been more popular than ever. With a greater than ever number of trim levels, two-door and four-door Unlimited models and hardy off-roading Rubicon packages, the JK offers more to choose from than ever for those looking for something in a traditional Jeep. In fact, with the modern 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 powering it, the 2012 model year saw more than 140k Wrangers sold here in the US; the best-ever figure for the model.
With a model refresh due out for the Wrangler in 2015 (along with the likely addition of a diesel engine option), we expect that sales will continue to roll right along, too.
