Up for auction is a 1980 Jeep CJ-5 that is not running.  It was purchased in January with the intention of making a strong, reliable Jeep but 7.5 months later I need to sell as is.

This is my 8th CJ that I've owned and this AMC 258 motor is the strongest I've had.  The transmission is a T-176 4-speed with a Dana 300 transfer case.  
Power steering and front disc brakes.   4" lift with 33" tires. 3:54 gears. One piece axles with Lock Rite locker in the rear.  All gauges and lights work.  Previous owner confirmed the motor is a rebuilt 1985 AMC 258.  There is rust at your usual spots.  Where the roll bar meets the passenger side floor pan needs to be repaired.  Rear passenger side corner has dent (see photo).  Driver window has 2 small tears.  There is an old Ramsey 8.5 winch with remote control. The battery cables need to be converted to mount to the top terminal post of the Optima battery.  

...

Before I talk about what the Jeep has, I'll let you know what it needs first -- or what my plans were.

1. Front bumper - I cut off the old hand-made bumper because it was blocking the spring shackles.  Rockhard bumper with winch mount is what I was planning to get.
2.  Radiator - old radiator is garbage.  Planned to put Be Cool radiator in.
3.  Motor mount frame horn passenger side - cracked in 2.  used one is $65 at Republic Jeep
4.  Rocker arm kit - I went to put a new valve cover gasket on and noticed a bent bridge.  Needs new bridge $18.99 at Quadratec for entire kit.
5. Front spring shackles - bent, my plan was M-O-R-E shackle reversal
6.  Tires & Wheels - tires have locker wear and wheels have some dings.  
7.  Tie rod / draglink - upgrade to heavy duty
8.  1 Headlight bucket, 1 headlight retawing ring, 1 bezel - between the two headlights, 1 of each needs replaced
9. Body mounts - all body mounts are in need of replacement
10.  Cut front fenders flat to be rid of dents

2014 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year finalists announced [w/poll]

Tue, 10 Dec 2013

The 2014 North American International Auto Show is right around the corner, which means it's high time we found out which cars and trucks would be finalists for the prestigious North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards.
The finalists - three in cars and three in three trucks/utilities - are dominated by American brands, with two-thirds of the finalists hailing from either General Motors or Chrysler (don't worry Ford, there's always next year), while outliers from Mazda and Acura can be found in each contest. Here now is the list of finalists for the big prizes:

YouTube tallies votes for this year's top five Super Bowl spots [w/video]

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

When we asked you to tell us which of this year's 16 car-themed Super Bowl commercials you liked best, you chose the Farmer commercial from Chrysler Group, advertising the Ram trucks, over Audi's Prom commercial in second place. Turns out the voters in YouTube's Ad Blitz poll agreed, voting the same commercial to the number one spot from among the field commercials in every category.
From there, however, they went in a totally different direction. Budweiser's The Clydesdales spot came second, Samsung's The Next Big Thing took third. The Jeep Whole Again ad scored fourth in the YouTube poll, fifth in our poll of auto commercials, and the Hyundai Team spot got fifth from the YouTubers, but ninth in our poll.
The voting results don't match up with the viewing numbers, though - while Farmer has more than 13 million views, The Next Big Thing is well beyond 21 million. You can read the press release below and see all five spots, lined up for you, one more time.

GMC boss wants a Jeep Wrangler rival

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

Challengers come and challengers go, but the Jeep Wrangler continues to push forward even after vehicles like the Toyota FJ Cruiser and the entire Hummer brand have been shut down. Now GMC reportedly wants to take a stab at the quintessential Jeep, as well.
The news comes directly from Buick-GMC vice president Duncan Aldred, speaking with our compatriots over at Edmunds. Although Aldred said there are no plans currently on the table to expand GMC's lineup beyond the current range, "there is plenty of room everywhere in the hierarchy."
That could include a rival to the Wrangler, as well as a flagship luxury SUV positioned above the current Yukon Denali (pictured above). Just when (or for that matter, if) such models might come into fruition remains a big question mark, but it's certainly interesting to see what GM's dedicated truck brand has on the drawing board.
