Selling my 1971 Jeep CJ5 Renegade , the original Renegade equipped with the venerable Dauntless 225ci v6-3speed manual transmission. This Jeep is well sorted out and trail ready. The motor and trans are original as equipped and were rebuilt with less then 10k miles since rebuild. This motor, in my opinion, is one of the best Jeep motors ever used. It is an odd fire Buick v-6. This motor has alot of horsepower and torque and is very compact and light. The sound that an odd fire v6 makes is unique and righteous. It has wheel exit headers and turbo mufflers, not too quiet but not too loud, which makes that perfect sound. The transmission is a B/W T-14A 3-speed. It has a synchromesh first gear so you can downshift at low speed into first unlike earlier Jeep transmissions were you had to come to a complete stop to put it in first gear. This Jeep is licensed and road worthy but I would call this a 90/10 Jeep. Meaning it should be used 90% off road and 10% on road. The steering is loose as from the factory and the brakes are four wheel drum with a small single reservoir master cylinder as factory equipped. The motor in this Jeep can make it go very fast on the road but the steering and brakes this Jeep came equipped with are less than adequate in my opinion. Please don't buy this Jeep thinking you will use it as your daily driver. You will only be disappointed. This Jeep is a rugged trail Jeep that can be driven to and from the trail. This Jeep drips fluid from the front and rear axle pinion seals. It is not a major leak but only a nuisance drip. This Jeep was painted and had its floor boards replaced about 10 years ago and has held up well. It has always been stored indoors. In the pictures you will see some bubbling and cracks in the paint and some rust coming out in some areas. This is a very solid Jeep. This Jeep has a heavy duty frame because it is a Renegade and the frame has no rotting anywhere only surface rust. This Jeep has functioning stereo, CB radio, heater, wipers, window washer fluid pump, turn signals, brake lights and reverse lights. It has a horn but the button on the Grant steering wheel needs to be replaced. This Jeep is also equipped with heavy duty leaf spring suspension, a 20 gallon steel gas tank with heavy duty skid plate, locking gas cap, and I have added an electric fan in addition to the stock belt driven fan. The electric fan is a pusher fan and keeps the engine nice and cool when going slow through the trails at low speed and low rpm. The tires are older but have alot of tread and have innertubes in place. I am selling the Jeep with both full soft top with doors and bikini top included. Both are in good shape. I will also throw in the with the sale a set of vintage slotted mags I bought for this Jeep but never got around to putting them on. These are deep slotted mags from the '70s and will look perfect on this Jeep. Although I do love the look of the deep white steel wheels on this Jeep also. Ask questions and good luck bidding

UAW workers in Indiana, Stellantis reach tentative deal to end strike

Mon, Sep 12 2022

United Auto Workers union members who went on strike Saturday at the Stellantis casting plant in Indiana have reached a tentative deal with the company. The UAW Local 1166 bargaining committee announced a tentative agreement in a blog post, saying that a ratification vote would be held Monday. Stellantis confirmed the tentative deal Monday. The strike was related to health and safety issues, including the company’s alleged refusal to repair and replace the plantÂ’s air conditioning and heating systems. The 35-acre plant in Kokomo makes parts used in the power trains of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and RAM vehicles. The 1,200-worker plant, Kokomo Casting, is the worldÂ’s largest die cast facility, according to Stellantis. In May, Stellantis announced a $2.5 billion joint venture with Samsung to build an electric vehicle battery factory in Kokomo that is to employ 1,400 workers. Stellantis, created last year through the merger of Fiat Chrysler and FranceÂ’s PSA Peugeot, had said it would build two electric vehicle battery factories in North America. The other is slated for Windsor, Ontario. Plants/Manufacturing UAW/Unions Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM

Here's another look at the next-gen Jeep Wrangler Unlimited

Thu, Mar 30 2017

Yesterday, we got a sneak peek at the next generation Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. As you might expect, it looks a lot like the current Wrangler. Really, did you expect anything different? The big news is that the leaked images show that the doors and top are removable, something that was unclear until now. Thanks to our friends at JL Wrangler Forums, we have some pretty new renderings based on those same leaked images. While these aren't official, this should be pretty damn close to what the final production model will look like. While it may be all new, the design is just a revolution of the tried and true formula. Fans might burn down the factory if designers strayed too far. The entire body has been worked over, with changes to the grille, bumper, fenders, and lights. The square tail lights look a lot like those on the Renegade. We keep seeing more and more leaks and spy photos, so an official reveal can't be too far off. In addition to the four-door Wrangler Unlimited, look for the long awaited Wrangler pickup truck.

Jeep gunning to build 250,000 Cherokees a year

Thu, 21 Mar 2013

Contrary to what a certain politician may have said last year about Jeep moving to China, the automaker is in fact doing the opposite, with plans to greatly increase the production capacity at its Toledo North Assembly plant in Ohio. The Detroit Free Press is reporting that there are big plans for the 2014 Jeep Cherokee and Toledo North, as a local union president has informed the newspaper that Chrysler is planning to produce around 250,000 examples of the new midsize utility per year.
To put this number into context, 250,000 units is more than what Jeep Liberty sales totaled here over the last three years combined. Even taking into consideration that the 250,000 units will be distributed beyond US borders, that's an ambitious volume figure full-stop - and that's without taking into consideration the new Cherokee's love/hate design. In its favor, though, Jeep is making remarkable inroads globally as of late, and the Cherokee's size could work well in emerging markets. To get that kind of output from Toledo's Cherokee assembly line, Chrysler will reportedly hire 1,105 new workers - that's in addition to the 200 workers already being hired to build the popular Jeep Wrangler, which is itself expected to top 220,000 units this year.
