This was meant to be my project that I would keep forever but I have done what I can and it is now time for someone else to take over. 

I purchased this from a family in the Southwest. It belonged to their grandfather and had sat for years with little use. This was a couple years ago. At that time the transmission had just been rebuilt and so had the engine. But it still needed a little more. I have replaced the body mounts, fuel pump, battery, ignition with a MSD ignition, brake pads, clutch, radiator, Borgeson steering shaft, steering box, shocks, seats throughout, Bestop soft top, seat belts, CD player, heater motor, plugs & wires, alternator and brake lines. One nice thing about an old Jeep is that most parts are pretty cheap.

The Jeep runs strong and was my daily driver until I succumb to the cold weather and bought a new Jeep. It does still need a few things and always will, its a Jeep. A little body rust as seen in the photos.This Jeep is not perfect but a very strong base to complete a restoration or even just continue to be daily a driver. You will love it in the summer especially, as I did. 

The tires are 33"X12.50". I do have the hardtop and barrier that goes below the hardtop and of course will be included with the sale. I also have a spare tire not in the photos that is the same size and type that will be included. 4X4 works fine. The gears shift smoothly. The engine runs strong. It just passed a local safety and emission inspection 3 months ago. This truck is road ready.

Apart from the body rust seen, the tachometer doesn't work because of the MSD ignition but can be fixed with an electronic tachometer. The gas gauge shows half when it is actually full. The dash clock doesn't work. The rear view mirror just popped off but will be included. The odometer is not accurate. Mileage is unknown.

I think that is everything but if you have questions don't be shy. 

No reserve.

Fiesta-sized Jeep coming in 2014

Wed, 03 Jul 2013

We've heard rumors before about a new, baby Jeep to slot below the new-for-2014 Cherokee (pictured) in the automaker's lineup. Now, Edmunds is reporting that the new crossover will arrive sometime in 2014, and will be about the same size as the Ford Fiesta. This currently unnamed vehicle will effectively replace both the Compass and Patriot in the Jeep lineup.
Speaking to Edmunds, Jeep CEO Mike Manley said that the new, small Jeep will be assembled in Italy and marketed globally beginning sometime next year. Manley did not provide many details on the new model, but did say that it will be 4.2-meters (165 inches) long. The Cherokee, by comparison, is 4.6-meters long (181 inches). Furthermore, Edmunds reports that while the new small Jeep will offer diesel power in other markets, there are no plans for an oil-burning version here in the US.
Many other automakers are exploring this smaller crossover segment here in the US. General Motors recently launched the Buick Encore, which is loosely based on the Chevrolet Sonic subcompact's platform. Ford has already launched its Fiesta-based EcoSport in other markets, and has reportedly been pondering the idea of offering it in the US, as well.
