Here's a project for someone who wants a basically unadulterated TJ.  I bought it a couple of years ago to play with; never used it as my regular vehicle.  It was kinda rough when I got it so I set to getting her into shape. I haven't used it now in about 6 months and honestly, I have lost interest in it and it needs to go. 


I've put a bunch of work into it over the past couple of years, and at one time several years ago the engine was replaced with a brand new Jasper unit - tag is under hood. Other work I've done for which I have receipts:
  • Oxygen sensor
  • FL turn signal socket
  • Transfer case switch (so the 4wd lights up)
  • New distributor
  • Rear brake shoes
  • Rear wheel cylinders
  • Brake cables
  • Crank sensor
  • Front U joints
  • Rear brake lines
  • Side mirror relocation kit (to drive w/o doors)
There's $2150 that made it mechanically perfect. Someone is gonna get a lot of Jeep for the buck, but it does need some love.  

What she needs is some body work. FL fender rough, R side fine - think it has been replaced. Floor pans up front are rusted out and I took the seats out and got a set of replacement pans, but that's where I stopped. I'll put the seats back in before it leaves. New galvanized pans come with the Jeep. Pics show the floor pans looking like Barney Rubble could stop it with his feet.  Back is solid. Doors are solid (not shown) and they have the glass sliding windows instead of plastic side curtains. The convertible top is all there - I just have it off and it did the usual shrinking and I don't want to mess with it and maybe tear it to put it back on. It will need replacing soon. No tears in upholstery.  Tires pretty beefy, though it needs a spare.  I also have all the carpets and back seat - just removed to do floor pan job.  I drove it all last summer with the top down. It's really a fun car.  

The thing I liked is that it wasn't adulterated by any changes to suspension. If that's your thing, here's one to start from scratch instead of dealing with someone else's backyard engineering.

Clear PA title in my name which we can transfer here or I can sign off and have notarized for you. I'll also provide a bill of sale if you like.  

I am being completely forthcoming here - no worries about hiding anything. WYSIWYG. If there's anything else I can tell you, just ask and I'll do my best to answer it. I've bought and sold vehicles via eBay before and have dealt with some shady sellers - I'm not trying to be that kinda guy!

I'd prefer to sell for cash; may take partial trade in titled Italian or Japanese scooters - no Chinese.  Whatcha got? Let's talk  $500 deposit via PayPal upon winning; balance in cash on pickup, or PayPal with 4% buyer's fee.  Car is located in east end of Pittsburgh. May be able to deliver locally with advance payment and arrangements, again, let's talk.

Jeep Liberty under investigation for door fires

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

The Jeep Liberty has already had plenty of attention for possible fires thanks to the first-gen model's fuel tank, but now the midsize Jeep is under the microscope of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for another fire-related concern. NHTSA has opened an investigation for the 2012 Liberty after receiving two reports of electrical fires in the driver's door.
According to the investigation summary, around 80,000 vehicles could potentially be affected by this problem. In both reported fires, the drivers noticed smoke and then flames from the master power window switch, and they had to pull to a stop and exit through the passenger side of the SUV. According to Autoguide, there was one injury to a motorist who suffered burned fingers while trying to open the driver's door.
Interestingly, the Dodge Nitro is not yet involved in this investigation, even though it was still around for the 2012 model year; the Nitro ended production in 2011 about a year before the final Liberty rolled off the line for the 2013 model year. Scroll down for the official NHTSA investigation summary.

AEV Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon

Fri, 28 Feb 2014


After their rented 2007 Hummer H3 failed them during the brutal Rallye Aicha des Gazelles in Morocco, Amy Lerner and her sister Tricia Reina were on a quest to find the most capable production off-roader for their next competition - they chose a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. Their next mission was to find a company with the competence to configure it to win. After poring over Internet forums and perusing countless magazines for an outfitter who could meet their demanding requirements, they sent their bright orange JK ("Crush" is the official color) to American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) for some modifications.
The Michigan-based team at AEV kept the Jeep's 3.6-liter V6 and automatic transmission stock, but replaced the hood with a tall AEV Heat Reduction Hood and added an AEV Snorkel Kit for water crossings (it serves double-duty as its raised height helps to keep the air intake out of the kicked-up dust on the trail). Front and rear off-road bumpers were bolted in place, and AEV skid plates were added to provide additional undercarriage protection. A pair of IPF-900 off-road lights improve visibility, while a 10.2-gallon AEV Fuel Caddy (located behind the exterior spare) added some range. The suspension was upgraded with a 3.5-inch lift kit with Bilstein remote reservoir shocks, and 35-inch Falken Wildpeak A/T tires (LT285/70R17) were mounted at all four corners on AEV's beadlock wheels.

Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle

Sun, Aug 21 2022

The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.
