1979 Jeep CJ5 with clear title. Jeep is mostly in pieces and is not complete. You are bidding on axles, frame, full steel body, roll cage, seats and brackets, transmission and transfer case in need of rebuild, wiring harness for the tub, speedometer, wheels and lots of small parts. NO ENGINE. I do not see the vin tag on the body but may be covered by the undercoating. May not be there. There is a vin number on the dash panel. The dash panel has been cut and bent through this tag, making it hard to see. There is no way to know the true mileage but ebay made me enter a number so I used 300,000. Title is marked unknown mileage.
I bought this jeep with another and put one together and this is what is left over. It will need a LOT of work to get on the road.
The axles are amc 20 rear and dana front and appear to be in very good shape but I have never used them. I do not know the gear ratio but the axles were a set. No brake drums on the rear. No brake lines. Spring perches are mounted on top of axles for lift. The frame is very solid but has been covered in heavy diamond plate steel from just in front of the rear forward spring mounts back (about half the frame) and has been painted. I assume the frame was rusted in the back but I did not do the repair so I do not know for sure. Springs in good shape but needs bushings as there is one missing. The tub appears to be from an older jeep as it has the tool box under the passenger seat. (might explain the absence of the vin tag). There is surface rust on the tub but it is not rotted out. Even the tool box floor is there, although it has a crack that will need welded. I do not know if there has been previous work done on the body. You will need to do some body work to be nice but this is a good body to work with. There has been some modifying on the tub to alter the front body mounts but does not alter structure that I can tell (see pictures). No tailgate and the fuel tank is in the back. You will need a body mount kit. Fenders are nice and grill is fair and not rusted out. Windshield frames (2) are rusted through but could be patched and used. No glass. Roll bar is straight and not rusted. There is a steering column but is missing parts. Uses a GM column. Foot pedals are there but no e-brake. Front seats are 2 brand new corbeau 5 point harness but have a couple minor tears from being moved around (see pics). Also a nice aftermarket fold and tumble rear with no brackets (or you could have my black and white Laredo rear seat from my driver and I'll keep the fold and tumble, you choose). Also a set of cheap plastic racing seats in good shape included for a total of 5 seats. Transmission is a T-150 and needs rebuilt. The transfer case is a dana 20 and might be ok but will need checked out. Please assume the transfer case is no good and will need rebuilt. No top at all. No radiator. No drive shafts. No steering box or shaft. 31 x 10.50 tires are not road worthy but do hold air. Wheels are nice but need painted and are wider than stock so you could probably mount 12.50's on them but I don't know for sure.
You will need a trailer or flat bed truck to take this home. I will not ship it. Please ask any questions and I will try to answer as best I can. If you need more pictures let me know. Thanks for looking!

2016 Jeep Wrangler to ditch solid axles to save weight?
Tue, 29 Oct 2013Hey, Jeep fans. If you think the idea of a funky-looking, car-based Cherokee revival is offensive, have a listen to what might be in store for the next-gen Jeep Wrangler. Automotive News is reporting that as Jeep develops the 2016 Wrangler, weight reduction is a crucial target, and the Wrangler's rugged solid axles could be sacrificed in the name of better fuel economy.
We've already heard the next Wrangler will go on a serious diet using aluminum body panels and an air suspension system, so the idea of a four-wheel independent suspension setup for this OG SUV isn't all that surprising. Besides, it's not like an independent suspension would limit the Wrangler's off-road abilities - just check out the Hummer H1. In fact, it might be the aftermarket parts companies - not Wrangler enthusiasts - who would be most disappointed by such a drastic suspension change, as the article states that the Wrangler's solid axles and coil-link suspension make it the most popular SUV for customization.
There are probably still a couple years before we'll start hearing any concrete details about the 2016 Wrangler, at which time it will be interesting to see how stricter fuel economy and crash safety regulations have been balanced with traditional Wrangler cues like its removable doors and roof and folding windshield. Let us know in the comments below if a Wrangler sans solid axles is any less of a Wrangler.
Jeep Cherokee sales rival Wrangler after two months
Sun, 29 Dec 2013In our First Drive article on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee we said, "our informal and thoroughly unscientific opinion is they're going to sell tons of them. Why? Because it is very good." So far, it appears the public concurs. Of course, it's very early - the new compact utility has logged just one month of confirmed sales, but Larry Vellequette at Automotive News says dealers have told him that the second month of sales will be even better, a message that mirrors what we've heard from company execs.
In its first, severely truncated month on sale, the Cherokee sold 579 units. With all of November to play with, though, dealers moved 10,169 of them - compared to 11,753 Wranglers and 14,798 Grand Cherokees. That helped propel Jeep to a 30-percent year-on-year improvement for the month, Chrysler Group to a 16-percent improvement and the group's 44th consecutive month of sales growth, exceeding analyst expectations in posting its best November numbers since 2007.
If it can just keep replicating the its first month of sales, the finalist in North American Truck of the Year voting will smoke the trade done by the outgoing Liberty, which didn't break 7,900 units in a month in the last four years of its life (and normally didn't get close to even that). In March this year, Chrysler said it wants to build 250,000 Cherokees in its Toledo assembly plant for global sales. It's early yet, but with second-month sales quoted as being as "strong as death," the bookies might be resetting the odds.
