1980 Cj-5 on 2040-cars

 1980 Jeep CJ-5 - 6 cylinder - 4x4- soft top - soft doors - 33 in tires with lift. 

I purchased this Jeep on Ebay in 2006 with the intent of off roading and rock climbing.  Before I could do any of that my wife and I had our first child.  So it is has been on asphalt ever since.  Occasionally driven with the top off in the summer.  I realize I will never get to use it the way I wanted to so I am selling it. 

The engine is not original and it has what I estimate to be 140,000 miles on it.  The odometer is not accurate.  The person I bought it from used it as a rock climber and it has the suspension set up for that.  It has a custom roll cage.  It runs very well.  I recently had a new starter put in.  It is a great Jeep that could be driven as is or improved upon.

Things that I know are wrong with it:

There is a small exhaust leak that I was told by the mechanic has been rpaired as well as it can be.

It will soon be time to redo the suspension and shocks if you intend to make this a true off road monster.

There is no radio ( I will include the one I purchased - still in the box).

The framing for the soft top has some pieces that should be replaced (I have included those replacement pieces).

There is some typical rust for a 34 year old vehicle.

There is a crack in the rear right brake light casing.

There is a tear in the rubber casing around the gear shift.

The windshield wiper switch is tricky and should be replaced.

 

Extras included:

Bikini top

Jack

Stereo (in box)

Replacement soft top framing

 

I will answer any additional questions as best I can. When I picked this Jeep up in 2006, I drove it from Albequerque, NM to Vail, CO. It can be driven that far but I would suggest you pull it or trailer it if you are going to go that far. I will require a Paypal deposit of $1,000.00 within 48 hours of the end of the auction.

2015 Ford F-150 named Truck of Texas, Lincoln and Jeep also awarded at Truck Rodeo

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

The Ford Motor Company has a lot of reasons to celebrate after winning eight categories in this year's Texas Auto Writers Association's annual Truck Rodeo. Most important among them, the Blue Oval's latest 2015 Ford F-150 earned the prestigious Truck of Texas award, ending the Ram 1500's two-year winning streak. The 2015 Lincoln MKC also grabbed the honor as the CUV of Texas, and Ford was named Truck Line of Texas.
FoMoCo even took trophies for best technology with its extensive use of aluminum on its latest F-Series and best commercial vehicle for the new Transit 250. It wasn't a total sweep, though, because the Jeep Grand Cherokee grabbed the title of the SUV of Texas for the fifth straight time.
This year's event put 60 auto writers in 75 pickups, SUVs and crossovers and challenged them to find the best in a plethora of categories. All of the winners are listed below, and scroll down to read the full announcements from the Texas Auto Writers Association and Ford.

2015 Jeep Renegade

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

It's no secret that the midsize crossover segment is one of the most hotly contested battlegrounds in the automotive industry. Long have vehicles like the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 duked it out for those ever illusive consumer dollars. For many customers, though, even something like a Nissan Rogue is too big, whether in terms of price, fuel economy or just plain size.
For those customers, a growing market segment seems poised to fulfill their needs. Compact crossovers and tall wagons like the Nissan Juke and Kia Soul offer the high-riding driving experience with all the utility that comes from their two-box layout. It's an underrepresented segment among manufacturers, with big names like Toyota, Ford, General Motors and Honda lacking a true competitor.
To capitalize on this growing class, Chrysler's Jeep brand has readied this: the Renegade. That's right. Not Jeepster - Renegade. This diminutive off-roader, which rides on Fiat Chrysler's new small-wide 4x4 architecture, represents Jeep's first foray into the subcompact CUV segment as we know it, and it's making its official debut this week, on the floor of the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. Join us as we take a close look at one of Jeep's most important products in some time.

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.
