Well it is a sad day but time to part with the old Jeep. Just don't get the use out of her anymore. Bought 7 years ago and have put lots of time into her and now time to pass on to someone who will appreciate her. Was an ex-show jeep when wife and I built 7 years ago then became a daily driver for a while and has sat in garage since winter and just haven't done much with her anymore and is now suffering from neglect. Please take time to read entire listing and look at all pics. before bidding.

The Bad: Like I said jeep has sat in garage since winter and last few years and winters of daily driving has taken toll on old girl. Frame was repaired  some time ago and done right but has developed a couple new spots on side of frame size of silver dollar that will need attention. It is not going to break in half  by any means but will been repaired. I have included pics. of damage. Brakes are spongy and was low on fluid. Think wheel cylinder is leaking. Drove around town and steering is a little sloppier then I remember. Always a little sloppy as it is a Jeep.... Whole jeep could use a once over as it has sat around the last couple years and probably only had 500 miles put on it in that time. Great jeep but want to be honest with condition. It is also titled as a 96 ASM(assembled) Jeep due to the replacement fiberglass body. I have never had any issues with licensing or insuring but want you to be aware in case your state is different.. It is technically an 1980 narrow track CJ7 but Title shows 1996 and matches vin on firewall. It has Clear WV title Everything works on lights , heater wipers, etc. it but the radio quit. was coming and going and now wont come on.

The good: Well it is a Jeep!!! It is an all Fiberglass CJ 7. Only steel is the grill, Hood fenders, windshield frame and tub are fiberglass and good quality. Paint still decent but could use repaint.  My wife painted it 7 years ago and rhino lined entire interior at same time.. It has a mild built Chevy 350 Chevy 4 bolt main engine with approx. 50,000 miles on it. has small crane cam, Edelbrock intake and carb. Accel distributor and coil, headers, dual side pipes and lots of accessories. Transmission is an  Chrysler TF 999 automatic with an Advanced adapter  kit to mount to Chevy engine with approx. 20,000 miles on it. has Dana  300 transfer case with dana 30 front and AMC model 20 rear. All stock along with suspension. Newer Bf Goodrich 31"  MT tires. Also has spacers on front and rear to give it wider stance. We built it with intentions of riding back country roads and have never mudded it. It has power steering and still has manual brakes. It has had LOTS of new parts over the years and will give you a rundown.

In last 2-3 years or less. Bestop Top & doors, seats, rims, tires. Aluminum radiator, water pump starter Alternator, Optima battery, Tie rod ends ,ball joints, u joints, brakes, P/S pump, shocks, greasable shackles, roll bar, cover, bikini top, Halo head lights, amp, speakers, stereo, numerous accessories and chrome..... sure I am missing more. I have put a lot of time and money and just am where I don't have time to keep her at the level she should be or interest. Thought about just parting out but don't have heart to tear apart so Figured I would see if I could find a g0od home on here for her. Like I said I have had for 7+years and hard to part with. Thought about selling or trading for old hot rod or Big Harley or something interesting local but the wife doesn't want to see it running around town so here I am!!

Auction terms are as follows. Deposit due of $200. due in 24 hours. rest due in 7 days. You are responsible for pickup or shipping. Would recommend trailering as brakes are stopping but spongy. Up to you. She runs good but due for oil change and tune up and once over from sitting. If you are new to Ebay or got feedback under 10. Please shoot me a message to let me know you understand that if you bid and win you own it. Want this to sell first time with no BS. There is a reserve. Nothing close to what I have in it but fair I think. Bid to find out. I know value of it as I have owned many. Not looking to get rich and know she needs some loving but not giving it away. I can part out worse case and make what I need  to be happy. Thanks for taking time to read all this. I am honest with description and tried to give you all info. Feel free to ask questions  if you need more info.or if you need another pic. Clear title in my name and currently inspected till Nov. of this year. Happy to help. Please only Bid if serious and have CASH.  Have a great day!!

Certain Chrysler owners eligible for buyback program

Mon, Jul 27 2015

Certain car owners whose Chrysler vehicles contain dangerous defects will soon have a way to get rid of their lemons without losing money. As part of an agreement with federal regulators, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has agreed to buy back more than 500,000 vehicles susceptible to veering out of control without warning at above market-value prices. The deal mainly covers certain models of RAM trucks, the Dodge Dakota pickup and Dodge Durango SUV. Further, owners of more than 1.5 million Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokees at heightened risk for lethal fires are eligible to trade in their vehicles at above market value or, alternately, get a gift certificate if they prefer to have repairs made. Chrysler has "a heavy responsibility to make sure the products they make are safe for the traveling public," said Mark Rosekind, administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. "... Here, we are sending an unambiguous signal to industry that if you skirt the laws or violate the law, or don't live up to the responsibility that consumers expect, we are going to penalize you." The buy-back and trade-in options for motorists come as part of an unprecedented penalty NHTSA slapped against Chrysler for violating federal motor-vehicle safety laws. Chrysler will pay a $105 million fine, the highest ever levied by the regulatory agency. In addition to the buy-backs, Chrysler also agreed to an independent monitor for three years. Investigators had outlined problems in the company's conduct in 23 recalls that affected more than 11 million defect vehicles. As part of a consent-order agreement, Chrysler acknowledged it did not notify vehicle owners of recalls in an effective manner and did not notify NHTSA of safety problems. Though those recalls affected millions of drivers, the buy-back and trade-in options are only for a small portion of the vehicles involved. Because Chrysler struggled to fix the problem and no repair was apparent, Rosekind said the buy-backs are reserved "for customers who didn't have a remedy." Buy-backs are for trucks and SUVs affected by three recalls that occurred in 2013 (recalls 13V-038, 13V-527 and 13V-529), that addressed a rear-axle pinion nut that could come loose and cause a loss of vehicle control. Those recalls covered 579,228 vehicles, including 2009-2012 Ram 1500, 2500, 3500, 4500 and 5500 trucks, 2009-2012 Dodge Dakotas, 2009 Chrysler Aspen and the 2009 Dodge Durango.

Jeep Renegade to show off new Mopar gear in Detroit

Sun, Jan 11 2015

Jeep's adorable new Renegade is arriving in the US market soon (we're looking forward to driving it in a couple weeks), and to highlight that fact, the American off-road brand is trotting out a pair of Mopar-modified compact CUVs for the 2015 North American International Auto Show. Rather simply, Jeep has modified one Renegade to show off its prowess in the city, and another that plays up the crossover's off-road abilities. Despite their different purposes, both vehicles show off Mopar's parts catalog and Jeep's Authentic Accessories lineup for the new baby Jeep. The Urban Renegade borrows uses a Renegade Limited with Anvil paint as its base and draws from the Accessories catalog, adding a number of Omaha orange accents and satin black wheels. Mopar donated a bike-hauling trailer hitch to the rear of the Renegade, while its cabin features Katzkin leather-lined seats. Once again, Omaha orange accents brighten up the Limited's cabin. As for the off-road model, Mopar got a bit more involved, starting with the Renegade Trailhawk and adding satin black wheels with Colorado red trim and X-shaped graphics, borrowed from military jerry cans, to the Commando Green exterior. A number of prototype and one-off body mods were fitted to the Trailhawk, including a concept skid plate, rock rails and a new rear valence. Inside, Katzkin leather was applied to the Renegade's seats while the Omaha orange accents from the Urban Renegade have been replaced with Commando Green bits and bobs in the off-road model. Look for more on these new Renegade twins come Monday, when we hit the floor of the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. Until then, check out the official press release from Mopar.

Lexus gets top brand marks from Consumer Reports; Ford, Jeep hit hard

Tue, 25 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has released its 2014 Car Brand Report Cards, with Lexus again reigning at the top and doing so with the same industry-topping score of 79 that it registered in last year's Report Cards. This year, the institute credited its lineup for being "usually quiet, comfortable, and fuel-efficient," noting it's the only brand on the list "to achieve an excellent average overall reliability score." The Car Brand Report Cars list is meant to rank the best all-around vehicles based on CR testing and reliability results tallied by subscribers it surveyed. Each brand included must have sufficient test and reliability data for at least three models, a standard which left out 11 marques including Fiat, Jaguar, Land Rover and Porsche.
This 2014 Brand Report Cars edition is the first of a new format in which sub-brands have been broken out from their parent brands, with Acura using this year to move up the leaderboard into second place with a score of 75 for its "reliable, well-finished and somewhat sporty models." The top three was rounded out by Audi, climbing from eighth to third by scoring a 74 for "well-crafted interiors, nice handling and good gas mileage." Audi scored highest in the road-test portion, its improved reliability aiding its rise. The top nine was completed by Subaru, Toyota, Mazda, Honda, Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz.
Ford and Jeep weighed in at the other end of the rankings, Jeep taking the lowest overall score in the road tests and hampered by "a mix of spotty reliability." Ford was sunk by reliability issues with its MyFord Touch infotainment system which consumers found troublesome enough to negate its cars earning "solid test scores" for being "very nice to drive." Perhaps the rumored switch from Microsoft to Blackberry's QNX for the next generation SYNC will help them out. Cadillac's score also took a hit for infotainment reasons after it was the leading US brand last year, the CUE system in the XTS dragging Cadillac to the bottom of all General Motors brands.
