Awesome 1979 Jeep CJ Sedan. I want to explain that I am selling this reluctantly as I purchased it in 2004-05 and worked on it until my sister's unexpected health issues caused me to move to Maine to take care of her. Since I didn't own/drive the vehicle much there is a lot I have forgotten about since I haven't seen recently it until a couple of weeks ago-so bear with me as I try to list all the details. The Jeep was initially stored inside but space became an issue and it had to be moved outside where it has been for about 5 years. Jeep has the original 304 V8 engine . Anyone with knowledge about Jeeps will know the 8 cylinder Jeeps are getting harder and harder to come by. This CJ has four speed heavy duty transmission and many extras such a Mean Green Alternator,MSD High Vibration coil, electric fan, heavy duty gas tank shell, Dick Cepek tires on  American (?)chrome rims, Warn hubs, BF Goodrich 33X12.5 15 Mudders (4 tires/wheels and spare),stainless front bumper, stainless dash, stainless grill, stainless mirrors. Has a 4" rollbar , matching side rock slider set, and gray carpeting  Fender flares have been added.Jeep ran well when I left it and my dad started it last year to move it and said it ran well- but system needs to be flushed before running it again and I don't have the resources to do so from Maine. Has power steering/power brakes and Grant leather steering wheel. The Jeep will need to be transported by the new owner-I have driven t on the highway but it is very high and I would not advise it on a regular basis! Has a four barrel Holley carb as well as many other extras I cannot recall. Has a Ramsey Winch and KC lights in the front. Has Powertrax lock right lockers installed but comes with the original spider gears as well. Jeep is lifted 6" over the axles. Beautiful heavy duty cast differential covers front/rear. I had just purchased (and had installed) a new Painless wiring harness but some fool broke into the Jeep a week after I left and stole the Sony CD player I had put into it-so the wiring needs mending. I will include all kinds of spare parts (starter, front seat, rear seat, soft top doors and support, stainless parts, original spider gears,ect.)  I have a nice pair of TJ seat brackets/ sliders I will throw in. Will include the original dash and hard doors as well as a HEAVY tow chain.. Jeep comes with the impossible to find ACME hardtop and doors. I travelled from Massachusetts to Big Rapids Michigan to get this nice set. Price does not include Hi-Lift jack. As you can see, everything needs to be cleaned, body frame needs a sand/bead blasting, ect. One of the Cepek tires was leaking air and may/may not be good-I took it off and put the spare on it so it can be moved.I will throw in a set of cj7 fiberglass aftermarket doors and rear hatch for parts,/glass. (I had to purchase these to scavange the highly sought after door latches to use on the Acme doors). Mileage on my title is 102,794 but that is approximate as I have added only a minimal amount since I purchased it.Since I can only be there to meet with the owner after the sale, I am selling this AS IS. It comes with hundreds of dollars in spare parts as shown. I am trying to be completely honest in my listing but I don't need any complications either but will be glad to answer any questions through ebays' messaging system. This was a beautiful Jeep a few years ago and needs some work but it is solid and a classic CJ 4x4 .New buyer is responsible to pick up but I will work with you if time is an issue.

Obviously this is a CJ5 but I forgot to note that in my listing. Also, before it was parked I had a custom made prop shaft installed by Mitchell Driveline which was in the neighborhood of $500.

Jeep Wrangler Copper Crawler is our idea of a restrained Mopar shopping spree

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

According to a recent report, the Jeep Wrangler is the most popular SUV for customization, and this is backed up by the fact that the iconic off-roader was just named the Hottest 4x4-SUV at SEMA for the fourth year in a row. Looking for ways to keep its customers in-house rather than going aftermarket, Jeep and Mopar are always teaming to offer exciting new parts and pieces for the JK Wrangler.
Compared to most other Wranglers on display at SEMA - as well as other Chrysler Mopar SEMA concepts - the Jeep Wrangler Copper Crawler is surprisingly reserved, but should be no less exciting for owners to give their Wrangler a distinctive look. Starting off with an eye-catching copper paint scheme, the Jeep then goes on a Mopar catalog shopping spree with its matte black grille, black beadlock wheels, two-inch lift, Rubicon bumper (with a winch and aero end caps up front) and rocker panel and taillight guards.
Jeep also upgraded the Wrangler's transfer case for low-speed rock crawling (hence the vehicle's name) and cold-air intake for extra measure.

NHTSA investigating 2015 Jeep Cherokee after new owner's total-loss fire [w/video]

Fri, Jan 16 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a Preliminary Evaluation into the 2015 model year Jeep Cherokee after a single example caught on fire in California. This investigation will decide the cause, scope and frequency of this possible problem and will decide whether a recall is necessary for 50,415 potentially affected examples. According to Automotive News, the Cherokee's owner only purchased the CUV about two days before the fire, and it had been driven less than 100 miles. The new buyer reported parking the Jeep, and noticed a smell like smoke. Shortly after, the vehicle was consumed in flames. There were no injuries, but much of the incident was captured on video. NHTSA is also trying to decide whether another report is related. In this case, a driver noticed smoke under the hood of a 2015 Cherokee with just 45 miles on it, while driving at 60 miles per hour. According to the complaint to the agency, "the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired," but FCA was notified. Read below NHTSA's announcement of the Preliminary Evaluation. CBS News 8 - San Diego, CA News Station - KFMB Channel 8 INVESTIGATION Subject : Engine compartment fire Date Investigation Opened: JAN 13, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: PE15003 Component(s): ENGINE Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) JEEP CHEROKEE 2015 Manufacturer: Chrysler (FCA US LLC) SUMMARY: The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received one complaint (VOQ) of engine compartment fire in model year (MY) 2015 Jeep Cherokee vehicles alleging a severe engine compartment fire incident resulting in a total vehicle loss (VOQ # 10672201).

Chrysler Recalling Nearly 907,000 Cars, SUVs

Fri, Oct 17 2014

Nearly 907,000 Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep SUVs and cars are being recalled for alternators that can fail and heated power mirror wiring that can short and cause minor fires. The recalls, posted Thursday by U.S. safety regulators, push the total number of recalls so far this year 544, totaling a record of more than 52 million vehicles. The largest of Thursday's recalls covers nearly 470,000 Jeep Grand Cherokees, Chrysler 300s, and Dodge Chargers, Challengers and Durangos from the 2011 through 2014 model years. The alternators can fail, causing the 3.6-liter V6 engines to stall unexpectedly. The problem also can cause the electrical system to fail, as well as knock out power-assisted steering, antilock brakes and electronic stability control. It can even cause fire or smoke, according to documents Chrysler filed with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. NHTSA opened an investigation into the problem in July, and Chrysler began its own probe in August. The company analyzed warranty complaints and alternators that had failed. The alternator generates electricity to recharge the battery and run other devices. Chrysler investigators traced the problem to heat fatigue in an alternator diode. Chrysler said it received 322 complaints about the problem, while 55 people complained to NHTSA. The company said it knows of one crash related to the problem, but no injuries or fires. The company will replace the alternators with upgraded versions for free. Owners will be notified in November. The company says customers who see warning lights or suspect a problem should contact their dealers. The recall affects cars and SUVs sold mainly in the U.S. and Canada, but some were sold in Mexico and overseas markets. The second recall covers almost 437,000 Jeep Wranglers from 2011 through 2013. Water can find its way into the heated power mirror wiring harness and cause corrosion. That can cause a short and could cause a minor fire and smoke, as well as cause loss of function of the mirror. The problem was discovered in February after three Wranglers in Canada were damaged. Chrysler says it has 26 complaints about the problem, but it knows of no fires, crashes or injuries. Dealers will move the wiring and install a protective shield to keep water out at no cost to owners, starting in December. Most of the Wranglers are in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, but more than 78,000 were sold overseas.
