1983 Jeep Cherokee in the "Pioneer" Trim Package. This truck is a 4-Door, unusual for a Full Size Jeep (FSJ) Cherokee, so, its kind of like a Wagoneer without the woodgrain sides. This Jeep also has a factory 4-Speed Manual transmission and a factory sunroof. So, between the 4-Speed, the 4-Door, and the Pioneer, that makes the rig a pretty rare build from AMC, which is why I bought it. I traveled down to Texas to get this Jeep back in 2010, planned to combine it with a Wagoneer I had at the time, but I have just not had the chance to put much work into it. I actually sold this Jeep on Ebay a few months back, but the buyer, at the time, had second thoughts, so here it is up for auction again, your chance to own a piece of AMC/Jeep History Now this Jeep does run & drive, but I would consider it a "project" vehicle. Below are some bullet points;

290,400 miles on what I believe to be the original AMC 360
There is no starting battery included with this rig, but I'll have one available at pick-up so that you can hear that motor purr.
The power steering pump pulley has been removed and will not be included (it was donated for another FSJ project). So right now steering this thing is a fine upper body workout.
The headliner is gone and will need to be replaced if you want one
There are several dents around the exterior of the vehicle (refer to photographs)
Glass is in good shape all around
The rear tailgate glass regulator is bent and does not lift the glass properly. As a result, the rear glass is removed, but two pieces of rear glass are included with the auction.
The interior is good and bad, most of the passenger seats are pretty good, but the driver's seat is trashed, and the carpet in the rear is pretty bad.
Factory glass sunroof installed.
There is no grill included, what you see in the photos is what you get.

I have always loved FSJ's, so I may be a little bias, but this would be a really great rig to work on, all the basics are there. I could see either doing a full restoration or turning it into one bad 4 wheeler. I'm easy to work with on the sale, I could store it for a little while after the auction (pending 100% payment), and I may be able to help you ship it as well. We have a lot of flatbed trucks heading all over the country from my workplace on a daily basis. I even sent one of my Wagoneers to Holland a few years back. Email me with nay questions. The Jeep has a clear Colorado Title.

Jeep CEO a fan of pickup redux

Tue, Mar 10 2015

The idea of a Jeep pickup is a hardly a new concept. After all, putting a bed on the company's rugged off-roaders goes back to the '40s, not to mention the more recent Cherokee-based Comanche. There's a very slim chance that a truck could return to the lineup down the line if brand CEO Mike Manley gets his wish. "I remain a big fan of a Jeep pickup. I think we have history that says it belongs in our portfolio," Manley said to The Detroit News. However, there's no need to get any hopes up soon, because a truck doesn't get any mention in the brand's five-year plan. That puts the earliest possible introduction around 2019. Even Manley is tempering expectations. "At this moment and time, I have higher priorities. That doesn't mean to say that we don't work on it, we're not looking at it," he said to The Detroit News. The most likely candidate to support a future Jeep truck is the next-gen Wrangler, according to The News. The rest of FCA's pickups and SUVs are running at capacity, which makes slipping in another variant difficult. However, the future Wrangler is heavily rumored to get an expanded production facility in Toledo, OH, which could make things possible. Anonymous FCA insiders confirmed to Autoblog that the next-gen Wrangler would be offered with a 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 and eight-speed automatic. It's also reportedly using solid axles at the front and rear, a fixed windshield and an aluminum body. That could make for a very fun and practical off-roader. If reading all of this speculation gives you a twinge of deja vu, it should. After the Jeep Gladiator concept (pictured above), there were years of speculation about the brand bringing the pickup back. Even then the plan was for a compact truck to tackle that hole in the segment. It was even believed that the project had a green light for production seemingly with Sergio Marchionne's blessing. Then things were pushed back, and last year, the idea was officially quashed. Related Video:

Fiat 500X poised for Paris catwalk

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

We've known for some time that the new, Fiat-based baby Jeep (which may or may not be called the Jeepster) is set to arrive at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. What we weren't sure of was whether its platform mate, the so-called Fiat 500X, would be doing so alongside or at a later date. Well, according to Reuters, we'll get to see the first all-wheel-drive 500 later this year in the City of Lights.
Yes, we can expect the 500X to arrive at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, according to an official with an Italian trade union. The unnamed source cited retooling at Fiat's Melfi factory, in southern Italy, which currently produces the Grande Punto. It's expected that the newest member of the growing 500 family will replace the Suzuki SX4-based Fiat Sedici, although when the X will go on sale remains an open question.
According to Reuters, both the Jeepster and 500X will be built alongside each other in Italy. Whether the 500X will cross the pond with it's slat-grilled cousin, though, remains to be seen (we're leaning towards yes).

Jurassic Park made a big impact on these Jeep drivers

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

For a certain cohort of young folks, Jurassic Park is a touchstone film from their childhood. Not only did it play into practically every little boy's love of dinosaurs, the movie included some great action scenes and special effects that still hold up today. In its latest video, The Aficionauto takes a look the Jurassic Park Motor Pool, a California car club with over 40 fans who created replica vehicles from the iconic film.
The club is made up of an interesting cross-section of people. Many of them were Jeep Wrangler fans that already loved off-roading and Jurassic Park, and liked the idea of bringing them together. Like any close-knit club, it ends up being about community and people coming together to share their interests. It's quite a heartwarming video. Also, be sure to stay until the end because The Aficionauto teases a future Jurassic Park-themed vehicle. Scroll down to check out the motor pool.
