New fuel hoses from front to rear were replaced including main and return, fuel tank was sent out to be cleaned at radiator shop. Brakes were checked and I did nothing to them cause it looks that previous owner did redo the whole system it has front disk and rear drums. Brand new windshield frame and new windshield along with new seals. Fenders were cut to simulate a flat fender look, it looks really nice not some whack job. this unit has a tailgate option from factory which is not to common on cj5.

Rod ends were replaced when drop pitman arm was installed. The following items are included in the sale and NOT installed new bikini top, New 1 inch shackles, New voltmeter gauge from omnix. New inner glove box. Stock oem springs and original steel wheels with 80 percent tread. It starts and runs great shifts fine and 4wd works as is should. This was a two owner stock jeep when I acquired it.

Now the bad, the jeep will be sold with only one seat for the drivers side which is in real good condition the seats I used to build were master craft style which I removed to install in another project. risers and sliders are installed you will need ONE seat for passenger 125.00 new on line. It has no rear bench seat 115.00 on line. Heater switch not installed used hole on dash for off road lights I did not want to cut dash and have no need for heater. Tires are 33x 12.5 they are 25-30% tread left they were used to mock up suspension and are good for aprox 3k miles 35 inch tires will fit without any problem. Jeep pulls to the left more than I like and I was going to address when new tires were installed.  I build jeeps as a hobby and being doing so since I was a kid and don't do this as a business. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING STATMENT CAREFULLY....  This is not a frame off restoration collector piece and not priced as such. This is an extremely functional, well built good looking unit ready for the trails or cruising around town. I have driven the jeep only 50 miles since build and suggest that all suspension bolts be checked after another 500 miles of use The reason of sale is I need the space cause I acquired another unexpected project and I already have another jeep. Please ask questions and request specific pics you may want 500 deposit within 48 hours thank you

Fiat Chrysler to get $105M fine from NHTSA for recall woes

Sun, Jul 26 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is about to send a powerful message to automakers doing business in the United States, assuming reports of an upcoming $105 million fine against Fiat Chrysler Automobiles comes to fruition. In addition to the record-setting monetary fine, according to The Wall Street Journal, FCA will have to accept an independent auditor that will monitor the company's recall and safety processes and will be forced to buy back certain recalled vehicles. In other cases, such as with Jeep Grand Cherokee and Liberty models with gas tanks that could potentially catch fire in certain types of accidents, FCA will offer financial encouragement for owners to get their recall work done or to trade those older vehicles in on new cars, according to the report. FCA could reportedly reduce its fines if it meets certain conditions, though those remain unclear at this time. These actions against FCA are being taken after NHTSA began a probe into the automaker over almost two dozen separate instances where the government claims FCA failed to follow proper procedures for recalls and safety defects. Included in those safety lapses are more than 11 million vehicles currently in customer hands. These penalties and fines are separate from the investigation over security problems with Chrysler's Uconnect system that allowed hackers to obtain remote access into key vehicle systems in 1.4 million vehicles.

2014 Jeep Cherokee configurator up and running

Fri, 09 Aug 2013

Production delays aside, Jeep is steaming towards its September on-sale date for the 2014 Cherokee. The reborn midsizer's configurator has just gone live, meaning you can fiddle with different options, colors and trim levels to your heart's content.
The cheapest model available is the 4X2 Sport, which starts at a reasonable $22,995. On the high end, the Cherokee's builder allowed us to indulge our passion for ludicrously priced vehicles by outfitting the top-end Trailhawk, which already starts at $29,495, with $8,610 in options. The resulting car, which you can see above, would retail for $39,100 after the $995 destination is factored in.
Head on over to Jeep's build-it-yourself website and have a look around.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
