Reputed to be the best Road and hill-climb CJ ever made, I'm the second owner--since 1988. Not desert, but it's always been in arid regions until I now brought it back home. About 12,000 miles ago (just under 191,000 total now), I gave the rig to Fred's paint/body shop, then to Motor Masters, then went through the entire drive train with an officer of the NW 4-Wheel Drive Club. My only instructions were to "go through it thoroughly in detail and repair or replace anything you find wrong or worn." They/We did, including a completely rebuilt engine, new efficiency carb (when trying to get the best I could, I got 25 mi/gal), new exhaust system, all brakes, only 1 gear showed wear and was replaced, replaced any body metal as needed prior to paint, rhino lined inside cabin & bed, complete custom paint, only 1 seat panel needed, then TUFF seat covers with front & rear pockets plus one hidden within driver reach, installed a dbbl-lock security console, fog & reverse lights, secured sound system in which only the remote control shows, marine carpeting w/ mud mats, bikini, safari, tonneau & spare tire covers, nerf bars and a rear bumper with frame-strengthened hitch (3/16 &1/4 " steel). Now getting old with most every joint hurting or replaced, I'm into comfort, and when I got a Polaris to run the horse trails with my dog and grandchildren, my wife and I agreed, if you know how that goes, to only have one baby left around here (56 Dodge). I gave the same instructions to my current mechanic and bodyman I did before. Here's what's left now that they have checked her out: There is a curb scuff on a tire, a 1/4" tear in the dash, replace one bed snap for the tonneau, sno wheels need repaint & factory chromes have some pitting, surface (only) rust underneath on the frame(not body), a small ding on the right door interior (I couldn't get it to show in a picture) and the standard inside crack in the plastic on both doors just under the window. The gearshift boot tore last month, and I'll order a new one of those. To perfect the rig now, I would replace the window insulation/seals and duplicate the HD bumper to the front as is now in the rear. I cut the metal for this but never welded it together. Occasionally tighten the HD valve cover to prevent oil leak. I put a new battery in her and muffler/tailpipe. You have one more season or more on the tires depending on the miles you drive. Besides the metal for the bumper, I have a couple of seats that could be mounted in the bed if you like the idea--we could work something out. Look at the pictures. Tell me by email if you want more. If EBay doesn't automatically include an auto check history, I can send one of those, too. I won't ship it, but I would work with your shipper--after bank certification of payment. Fair? Thanks for your interest. Whether you win or not, I hope you enjoy the auction.

Lexus tops JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study again, Buick bests Toyota
Wed, Feb 25 2015It shouldn't surprise anyone, but Lexus has once again taken the top spot in JD Power's Vehicle Dependability Study. That'd be the Japanese luxury brand's fourth straight year at the top of table. The big news, though, is the rise of Buick. General Motor's near-premium brand beat out Toyota to take second place, with 110 problems per 100 vehicles compared to Toyota's 111 problems. Lexus owners only reported 89 problems per 100 vehicles. Besides Buick's three-position jump, Scion enjoyed a major improvement, jumping 13 positions from 2014. Ram and Mitsubishi made big gains, as well, moving up 11 and 10 positions, respectively. In terms of individual segments, GM and Toyota both excelled, taking home seven segment awards each. The study wasn't good news for all involved, though. A number of popular automakers finished below the industry average of 147 problems per 100 vehicles, including Subaru, (157PP100), Volkswagen (165PP100), Ford/Hyundai (188PP100 each) and Mini (193PP100). The biggest losers (by a tremendous margin, we might add) were Land Rover and Fiat, recording 258 and 273 problems per 100 vehicles. The next closest brand was Jeep, with 197PP100. While the Vehicle Dependability Study uses the same measurement system as the Initial Quality Survey, the two metrics analyze very different things. The VDS looks at problems experienced by original owners of model year 2012 vehicles over the past 12 months, while the oft-quoted IQS focuses on problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership. Like the IQS, though, the VDS has a rather broad definition of what a problem is. Because of that, a low score from JD Power is no guarantee of extreme unreliability, so much as just poor design. In this most recent study, the two most reported problems focused on Bluetooth connectivity and the voice-command systems. The former leaves plenty of room for user error due to poor design (particularly true of the Bluetooth systems on the low-scoring Fords, Volkswagens and Subarus), while the second is something JD Power has already confirmed as being universally terrible. That makes means that while these studies are important, they shouldn't be taken as gospel when it comes to automotive reliability.

Chrysler accelerates Jeep recall repairs from 2018 to March
Thu, 17 Jul 2014
You may remember that Jeep's unusual fix for this recall involves fitting a trailer hitch.
The recall of about 1.5 million models of the 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty and 1993-1998 Grand Cherokee over fuel tanks may finish far sooner than originally estimated. In a new filing from Jeep's parent, Chrysler Group, with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the company says that it can complete the repairs for the affected vehicles by March 2015, much sooner than the previous estimate of sometime in 2018. Jeep predicts the total cost of the campaign will be around $151 million.
Chrysler teases upcoming outlay of SEMA cars
Wed, 15 Oct 2014Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is hauling a multitude of modified models to the annual SEMA show in Las Vegas this November, and the company is releasing the first teasing sketches of many of them.
Unfortunately, FCA isn't giving many solid details on any of the concepts other than saying the vehicles from Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Fiat all benefit from tuning from its Mopar performance brand. The teaser photos include a sinister-looking Chrysler 200S, Fiat 500 Abarth with two-tone paint and a scorpion on the hood, a red and black 500L, seemingly two different takes on the Jeep Renegade, a green Dodge Challenger wearing the T/A badge, an orange and black Dart, a very neon Charger, just the outline of a red and black Viper, a Ram ProMaster in Mopar livery and a Ram pickup called the Outdoorsman.
Take a look through the gallery to see what you think of the sketches for these concepts, and scroll down for the full announcement from FCA.
