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.

Chrysler investing $20M in Toledo plant to support 9-speed auto production
Sun, 28 Apr 2013In 2011, Chrysler announced a $72-million investment in its Toledo Machining Plant to modernize production of the eight- and nine-speed torque-converters for automatic transmissions made there. That upgrade work won't be finished until Q3 of this year, but Chrysler has already announced a further $19.6-million investment to increase production capacity for the nine-speeders.
The extra units will be necessary because the nine-speed transmission they'll be mated to is going into three popular models: it will debut on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, then go into the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart. The company predicted that this year alone it would sell 200,000 units equipped with the nine-speed tranny, and it is spending some $374 million in addition to the investment in Toledo to upgrade production capacity for it.
The work attached to this new investment won't begin until Q3 of 2014, and it will be finished by the end of that year. There's a press release below with all the details.
Jeep Liberty replacement takes shape
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Now that the Liberty has left us for greener pastures, it's time to start looking into the future of the midsize Jeep model. The next all-new vehicle for the off-road brand will be the SUV you see here, effectively replacing the Liberty, and not necessarily carrying on with that name.
From the sides, the prototype you see here sort of looks like a miniature version of the handsome Grand Cherokee, albeit with a bit more in the way of body sculpting. Up front, the seven-slat grille will be front and center, with completely revised headlamp designs that are reportedly angular and sweep well into the front fenders (you can sort of see what we're talking about in the side profile). That doesn't sound very Jeep-like, but we'll reserve judgment until we, you know, see the thing.
The bigger question with the Liberty replacement will be whether or not its off-road chops will be up to snuff. After all, the two previous generations of Liberty models were body-on-frame traditional SUVs, whereas this new Jeep rides on a larger version of the Dodge Dart platform.
What's really going on with the 2014 Jeep Cherokee's transmission issues?
Fri, 27 Sep 2013On September 23, Automotive News reported that Chrysler had idled the second shift workers it hired just five weeks prior at its Toledo Assembly Complex to build the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. At the time, Chrysler said it had "built the critical number of vehicles we need to stock dealerships once containment is released" and did not want "to put additional strain on our logistics partners ... upon release." That reasoning was not only unusual, it didn't seem to make sense.
It appears the center of the nine-speed issue is software, not hardware.
That same day, the Detroit News ran a piece claiming workers at the Toledo factory said the halt was due to issues with the Cherokee's transmission. It put the number of already-built Cherokees needing fixes at 1,000 and said that some of the workers not laid off had been instructed "to take the Jeep on long test-drives." That made more sense. Three days later, on September 26, Automotive News reported that the 500 workers laid off had been reinstated, with engineers "speeding repairs on the SUV's powertrain software." The AN piece didn't put a number on how many units are being fixed, but it did say that 12,000 have been built and are awaiting delivery to dealers. The best it could say about when dealers will get them, however, is that "progress on a fix is being made. It's unclear when shipments to dealers will start."
