Reliable Jeep- I bought this Wagoneer sight-unseen while I was in Iraq in 2011. I had my wife and dad pick it up for me in Laramie, WY because I needed a good daily driver for my very short drive to work each day when I returned to Cheyenne. It has served me well for two years and would continue to be a great daily driver or a restoration or off-road project. It has some flaws, but works great. Here's what you're looking at:

-All original AMC 360 V8, 2bbl carb. Emissions were removed by a prior owner (I'm the third). Starts very easily and runs strong.

-Hydramatic Automatic Transmission: works/shifts just fine.

-Quadra-Trac (Borg Warner 1339) full-time 4x4 Transfer Case with low range: works great

-Milemarker 4x2 conversion (I installed this conversion myself, which converted the transfer case from full time 4x4 to part-time/selectable 2 or 4-wheel drive and added front lockout hubs... I'll include all the parts that were swapped out in case purchaser would like to return it to its original, full-time 4x4 state)

-A/C: original. When my wife and dad picked up the Wagoneer for me, it threw a belt. A repair shop advised them to unplug the electrical connection to the A/C and we've not had a problem since. Apparently, when the compressor turned on, the clutch was acting up and would cause the belt to jump off the pulley. I haven't had a need for a/c, so I haven't worried about it. Seems like a bad clutch, though.

-Heater works flawlessly. This is important during the Wyoming winters.

-All carpet and upholstery is original. It's in really good shape for its age. The only tears on the seats are on the driver's seat (see pictures) on the lower front-left side, and the lower-left side of the seat back. Other than that, they're in unbelievable condition.

-Hoodliner is gone in the front (from the back seat area, forward) and hanging on in the rear (above the cargo area).

-Rear Electric Window: Works from the switch on the dash, but the keyhole switch quit working. I'm sure this would be an easy fix, since the window motor/gears are still working fine.

-All interior door handles work. Window crank handles work, but the driver's side rear door window crank handle is broken (see picture). I've found this online for $10 (bjsffroad.com) plus shipping and attaches with a single screw.

-Body: See pictures... Surface rust on hood, roof. Bottom of driver door dinged/dented, rust on rear driver's side "dog leg" panel and both rear quarter panels, by wheel wells, rear driver's side bumper mount is broken and the left side of the bumper has been suspended by 550 cord- seriously (I did this just to get by until I could get another bumper but it completely hid the fact and I am just fine with it).

History (As I was told): The original owner purchased this vehicle in Laramie, WY in 1979. He had it until he passed, sometime around 2007, when it was sold by his grandson, who had inherited it but didn't need it, to the fellow I purchased it from, also living in Laramie, WY. He collected and fixed up old Jeep trucks for off-road use and told me that he had thought he'd get around to doing more with the Wagoneer, but just never did, so decided to sell it.

Since returning in January of '12, I've used it almost exclusively for my daily drive to work- about 9 miles, round trip. I do get it on the interstate occasionally, and it is really impressive how it handles/drives. It accelerates to highway speeds without a thought and is actually a pleasure to drive on the highway, even with all of the windows down. I have never "off-roaded" in it, but I have taken a 30 mile drive down the interstate and hit the dirt roads of the Vedauwoo and the Pole Mountain areas. The Wagoneer is just perfect for this type of outing and I have every confidence that, if I wanted to spend the gas money, it would get me wherever I wanted to go in it.

Why I'm selling it: With two young kids and my wife in school, my daily travel has increased drastically. So, it's not practical for me to keep this vehicle as my daily driver, anymore. While I have every confidence that it will get me where I need to go, I can't afford to put gas in it as often as I now have to. Hopefully someone else will be able to enjoy it the way I have, or even make it into something really special. Thanks for looking.

Build a Jeep Gladiator 392 next? The Hummer H3T Alpha blazed the trail

Tue, Nov 17 2020

The 2021 Wrangler Rubicon 392 will combine the go-anywhere capability of a Jeep's iconic off-roader with the grunt of a V8 for the first time in decades. As cool as that is, we can't help but think Jeep is missing out on a huge opportunity to pair that 470-horsepower, 6.4-liter Hemi V8 with the Wrangler's pickup cousin, the Jeep Gladiator, in the form of a Mojave 392.Â Autoblog took part in a media Q&A session with Jeep ahead of the Rubicon 392's announcement in which the company's product higher-ups said that there are currently no official plans to build a 392 variant of the Gladiator pickup. But whether or not Jeep has plans, it certainly has precedent, and from our perspective, a market.Â Rewind to 2008, better known as one of the worst possible years to introduce a gas-guzzling, V8-powered pickup truck. Enter the 2009 Hummer H3T Alpha, the first variant of Hummer's midsize truck/SUV hybrid to be offered with a 5.3-liter V8. The 300-horsepower small-block was an upgrade to the sturdy but relatively uninspiring 3.7-liter inline-5 that the H3 lineup had inherited from its midsize pickup platform mates.Â As our Jeremy Korzeniewski noted in the Rubicon 392's introductory piece, an open-top Jeep has not been offered with an optional V8 for as long as the "Wrangler" nameplate has existed. The last Jeep 4x4 to do so was still a CJ, or civilian Jeep, and the 304 cubic-inch engine came from American Motors Corporation. Incidentally, this generation of the Wrangler is also the first to be offered in a pickup variant. Cue the beard-stroking.Â Now, frankly, it's not even remotely fair to compare the H3T's powertrain offerings to the decade-newer Gladiator's, but the Hummer actually boasts a few advantages over Jeep's modern pickup. While most of the Jeep's off-road specs give it an edge, the Gladiator doesn't come close to the H3T's 30.1-degree departure angle, for instance.Â And in more practical terms, the stubbier H3T has other maneuverability advantages. The Gladiator has 3" of wheelbase and 5" of overall length on the H3T, and a 22.4-foot turning radius to show for it. The Hummer's? Just 18.5'.

It's a V8 party! Lexus IS 500, Cadillac Escalade and more | Autoblog Podcast #667

Zac has been driving the Cadillac Escalade with the 6.2-liter V8 and BMW M550i with its 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8. Greg and Zac take a pause from the V8 theme by discussing their shared time in our long-term Acura TLX. From this, they segue into a "Spend My Money" feature about garage lifts to finish the show.

YouTube tallies votes for this year's top five Super Bowl spots [w/video]

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

When we asked you to tell us which of this year's 16 car-themed Super Bowl commercials you liked best, you chose the Farmer commercial from Chrysler Group, advertising the Ram trucks, over Audi's Prom commercial in second place. Turns out the voters in YouTube's Ad Blitz poll agreed, voting the same commercial to the number one spot from among the field commercials in every category.
From there, however, they went in a totally different direction. Budweiser's The Clydesdales spot came second, Samsung's The Next Big Thing took third. The Jeep Whole Again ad scored fourth in the YouTube poll, fifth in our poll of auto commercials, and the Hyundai Team spot got fifth from the YouTubers, but ninth in our poll.
The voting results don't match up with the viewing numbers, though - while Farmer has more than 13 million views, The Next Big Thing is well beyond 21 million. You can read the press release below and see all five spots, lined up for you, one more time.
