Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"The carburetor has an issue and may or may not need to be rebuilt. When the engine is cold, it is difficult to start without a squirt of starting fluid. Once the engine is running, it runs and idles just fine. A manual choke was installed but it does not seem to help very much. The prior owner replaced the speedometer after it stopped working at 38,965 miles. He guessed that the Jeep has about 41,000 miles on it. He said that the owner before him had left the Jeep to sit for many years without being driven. Since then the Jeep was still driven very little. The new speedometer is not very accurate with mph. The fuel gauge and temp. gauges are not working. The oil pressure gauge isn't working but I have the part to fix it. The rest of the electronics, lights and charging system work just fine."

I bought this Jeep all most a year ago as a vehicle just to have fun with and fix up.  Due to health issues I'm not able to do all the things that I have wanted to do with it.  If I could I would keep it because it is a fun vehicle to drive and it gets a lot of compliments.  I have only put a few hundred miles on it since I have owned it because currently it is not registered or insured.  With the carburetor problem that I described above, it might or might not pass smog.  I haven't had the carburetor fixed yet due to my health problems and lack of money to get it done.  I haven't taken this Jeep off road but I have engaged the four wheel drive to test it and it seems to work just fine.  Both the engine and transmission seem to be in good mechanical condition.  The clutch feels real strong and shifting through the gears is very smooth.  The Jeep has power steering that works well too.  The prior owner installed a new 12,000 pound winch that has not been used yet and a new CB radio that is a good quality radio with a lot of functions on it.  There is a new bikini top and half doors that are shown in the pictures. There is no full soft top but I do have the metal frame for one.  There is a nice custom made full roll cage for added safety.  There is almost no rust at all on this Jeep which is unusual for its age.  The only rust I have found is just a little bit on the inside of the hood.  The body, for the most part is straight.  It has some very small dents here and there.  I painted the entire body in camouflage which has received many compliments.  There appears to be about three areas on the body that have had some bondo work done.  The CJ 5 is a small type of body and is well known for being one of the best four wheel drive vehicles.  I think after the carburetor is fixed this could easily be a reliable daily driver vehicle or a fantastic hunters Jeep.

Finding surfing spots in the UK is tough work, even in a Jeep

Sun, 06 Jul 2014

You truly have to love surfing to practice the sport in the United Kingdom. The area isn't exactly teeming with warm beaches full of sunbathers, and absolutely no easy spots to find big waves. To be a UK surfer, you need to be a fearless adventurer, not to mention quite lucky. And driving a Jeep might help, too.
Surfers Oli Adams and Micah Lester are traveling around the British Isles in a Jeep Wrangler Overland trying to find the best surf spots out there. These guys don't fit the laid-back surfer stereotype, but that's because finding waves in the UK is hard work. They say that the waves at some of these spots only exist for about three hours every year when the current and winds are just right.
To find these surf spots, the Jeep's offroad capabilities are paramount. In some areas, as you'll see in the video, there isn't even a beach, just jagged rocks. It would be like the movie Endless Summer, that is, if it could start snowing at any moment. These guys are clearly dedicated to their sport.

Toledo gets proactive in fight to keep Jeep Wrangler

Wed, 08 Oct 2014

Let's make this very plain - the city of Toledo, OH loves its Jeeps. It loves them so fervently that the very rumor of the Jeep Wrangler moving out of its traditional home prompted the city's mayor, D. Michael Collins, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich to hold a weekend conference call with Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne.
"The purpose of this call was for the mayor and governor to gain clarity on Mr. Marchionne's comments last week regarding the possibility of the next generation of Jeep Wrangler being built at a location other than the Toledo North Assembly Plant," a spokesman for the mayor's office told The Toledo Blade.
While no further commitments were made by any party, Collins and Kasich's statement was quite unequivocal about keeping Toledo's unwillingness to let the Wrangler go, saying "the city and its partners will again rise to the occasion to ensure that the new Wrangler is made in Toledo." According to the newspaper, the next step is for face-to-face meetings between officials from Ohio and FCA.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Choose Your Own Adventure... But Choose Wisely
Jeep has got you covered. We can say this without even having to know what it is you want, because there's hardly an option or configuration that you won't find in the 2014 Grand Cherokee. There are three different engines, three different four-wheel-drive systems (plus rear-wheel drive), four different trim levels - not counting SRT - two different suspension setups and five different settings for various off-road terrain conditions. If you happen to check the box for Quadra-Lift, you'll also have five different ride-height settings for the driver-selectable air suspension.
As you might expect with so many customization possibilities, the way a buyer checks the options sheet can have a profound effect on the final product and its capabilities, to say nothing of its price. Nowhere is that more true than with the Grand Cherokee's choice of engines, with the brand-new 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 stealing the spotlight from the still excellent gasoline-fueled 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and 5.7-liter Hemi V8 powerplants that carry over from last year. No matter which engine you choose, though, it will be paired up with Jeep's new standard eight-speed automatic transmission from ZF. This, ladies and gentlemen, is very good news indeed.
