You are bidding on a 1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A. I found this little beauty in a covered shed on a farm near my home in central New Mexico.  From what I understand it had not been used in nearly 20 years which I guess qualifies as a barn find.   I am no expert but I’ll give you my opinion on the condition.  It appears to be in what I consider very good condition. The “Go Devil” 4 cylinder engine has great oil pressure, runs great with no smoke and appears to be very happy.  The transmission shifts and shows no signs of jumping out of gear (it is missing the shift knob). The 4 wheel drive seems to be operating properly.    It has been converted to 12 volt and has a new battery and rebuilt starter.  The cooling system seems to be in good shape. The body is in good condition. Note the diamond plate that has been put on the floor and rear fender wells. It looks to have been professionaly done.   The seat looks to be of the original type but is not permanently mounted as it will need to be upholstered.  As seen in the photos the steering wheel isn’t original.   The seals in the transfer case and differential covers are leaking but some old timers say that’s from sitting and will slow down as the seals swell.  That appears to be correct.  The throw out bearing is growling but that to seems to be getting better as it is driven.  The tires have a lot of tread but are very old and not road worthy. The chassis has had some repairs over the 66 years but looks pretty darn good.  The frame rails behind the front bumper have had the reinforcement plates added (hence the reassigned VIN).   Restore it or enjoy it. Bottom line is it’s not perfect but several knowledgeable people have told me this is one of the best they have seen in years. This isn’t a rusty piece of junk.  It has a reassigned VIN & clear New Mexico title in my name. This Willys Jeep is located in Los Lunas, NM approx 20 miles south of Albuquerque. You’re the experts so ask questions before you bid.  I have a low reserve.  Winning bidder to pay $500 non refundable deposit within 24 hrs of auction end via paypal, balance due within 7 days.  Buyer is responsible for shipping.  Vehicle will not be released until my bank is satisfied that funding is complete.  Good Luck   venner@aol.com

Ford F-Series Super Duty earns Truck of Texas award

Wed, Oct 12 2016

Texans love their pickup trucks, which you already knew. That means the Texas Auto Writers Association and its "Truck of Texas" award is a big deal. And the latest trophy goes to the 2017 Ford F-Series Super Duty. The pickup truck managed to snag TAWA's award at the 2016 Texas Truck Rodeo. The award marks the 13th time Ford's F-Series has been named the pickup king of the Lone Star State. Roughly 70 journalists converged outside at the Longhorn River Ranch, just outside of Austin, TX, for the 23rd annual Texas Truck Rodeo where a host of Ford's vehicles won awards. In addition to the F-Series Super Duty being named the "Truck of Texas," the 2017 Ford Super Duty won the Heavy Duty Pickup Truck award, while the 2017 Ford F-150 with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine won the Best Powertrain award. The journalists also awarded Ford for having the "Truck Line of Texas." Ford wasn't the only winner at the Texas Truck Rodeo, as Nissan brought home five awards, including one for the 2017 Titan in the fullsize pickup category and one for the Armada in the SUV segment. Ram also won a few accolades with its trucks. The 2017 Ram 1500 won for being the most luxurious pickup truck, while the 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon won the off-road pickup truck award. Last year, TAWA named the 2016 Nissan Titan XD the Truck of Texas, but Ford's all-new F-Series Super Duty managed to keep the Japanese automaker's full-size offering at bay. For the 2017 model, Ford placed aluminum body panels into the F-Series Super Duty's body, which not only shed weight, but also make the truck stronger. Scroll down to see the entire list of TAWA's winners from the 2016 Texas Truck Rodeo.

Why Mopar won't release a factory lift kit for the new Jeep Cherokee

Thu, 24 Apr 2014

The Jeep Cherokee Dakar concept showed off at the 2014 Easter Jeep Safari made a lot of online friends, even the Cherokee naysayers assenting that there's a monster Jeep underneath the Cherokee's skin if you're willing to go in and get it. But after reading Road & Track's write-up of what went into creating the Dakar, particularly its lift, you'll understand why you'll probably never see the components for it in the Jeep Performance Parts catalog.
The concept's press release mentions a "prototype Jeep Performance Parts lift kit, and additional suspension modifications." The short-story explanation is that the front struts on the standard Cherokee weren't engineered to accept any amount of lift, so the long story begins with the phrase, "an entirely new suspension." Head over to RT to read the details, and don't be afraid to ogle the Cherokee Dakar gallery and another awesome Jeep fancy that won't likely crawl over the hurdles imposed by production reality.

Jeep Wrangler Copper Crawler is our idea of a restrained Mopar shopping spree

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

According to a recent report, the Jeep Wrangler is the most popular SUV for customization, and this is backed up by the fact that the iconic off-roader was just named the Hottest 4x4-SUV at SEMA for the fourth year in a row. Looking for ways to keep its customers in-house rather than going aftermarket, Jeep and Mopar are always teaming to offer exciting new parts and pieces for the JK Wrangler.
Compared to most other Wranglers on display at SEMA - as well as other Chrysler Mopar SEMA concepts - the Jeep Wrangler Copper Crawler is surprisingly reserved, but should be no less exciting for owners to give their Wrangler a distinctive look. Starting off with an eye-catching copper paint scheme, the Jeep then goes on a Mopar catalog shopping spree with its matte black grille, black beadlock wheels, two-inch lift, Rubicon bumper (with a winch and aero end caps up front) and rocker panel and taillight guards.
Jeep also upgraded the Wrangler's transfer case for low-speed rock crawling (hence the vehicle's name) and cold-air intake for extra measure.
