I said I would never do it, but for personal reasons. I am going to offer my very nicely restored CJ-5. You've seen all the carved up ones with rhino liner, deck plating and other cover ups to hide rust and other problems, but you won't see any of that here. This is one awesome CJ-5. Here's the scoop. I had this shipped to me in MN from OH originating in CA several years ago. It was in exceptional condition. No rust, no issues other than a few little dents. I paid a lot for it, but you cant hardly find a nice original CJ like this was. With that said, I went forward and disassembled her inside and out. We did not do a frame off because the underneath of her was just that nice. Still, I wanted to restore it to original. I have pics for the new owner of the interior, including dash, removed, cleaned, hand sanded and repainted. Yes, the complete inner original metal tub has been hand sanded, sealed, primed and painted with the original color and cleared on top of it inside and out. After the interior was done, the outer body got the same treatment. Very little body work with no rust removal or issues. The body was great already. It was prepped, primed, sealed, painted with 3 coats of original white and clear coated. Needless to say, it is a beautiful shiny paint job. The frame and suspension have been touch up painted and rust proofed for long lasting protection. However, this is not a trailer queen, but it has been in the World Of Wheels car show 3 times and has won several trophies. (See the picture) I will send a trophy plaque to the winning bidder.  It has the original suspension with no lift kit. Still, the like new 33.12.50 15" tires and 10" wide wheels fit perfect and do not rub. This Jeep does not wander down the road. It has not been off roaded so there isnt mud under it either. The steering is tight, and it is such a pleasure to drive. The 258 6 Cyl engine was replaced with a new reman long block factory 258 6 cly engine, and the engine compartment was cleaned nicely when the engine was out, but it is very stock, not over done. The last owner had it done before I got it. I have those receipts along with ones for a new clutch and other stuff too. The engine starts easily and runs perfect. Here's a bonus! It has a beautiful Warn winch on the front with lanyard and brand new cable on it and it works great. It also has new carpet, just put in a new heater core, (what a job), new windshield and gasket, new front stock bumper, brand new great fitting Best Top, front stabilizer shock, many new dash parts, roll bar padding, dash board, center console, folding rear seat, cb radio, tow hitch, 4 speed trans, new shift knobs, brakes are good, manual hubs rebuilt, good heater, owners manual, ahooga horn with button in the dash, newer wipers and arms, and a new radio. But it needs a new antenna. The one on it is nice but reception is bad. The seats including the rear seat are the original seats and in excellent condition with only a few imperfections. I'm very proud of that, you rarely see that either. It has a larger aftermarket gas tank in the same original place. The gas gauge worked just fine but now it doesn't. I don't know why. It's not the gauge. I think it's the wire to the tank. I have the tank schematic for it, Just haven't looked at it. I guess I could go on and on, but I will let you look at the pics and ask Q's if you need to. All I can say is this looks like a brand new original CJ. No disappointments here! A beautiful CJ-5 in original condition, that runs like a dream. Thanks for looking and good luck. Any shipping will be arranged by the winning bidder. But I will help where I can. It can easily be driven anywhere. It is well maintained and garaged 24/7. Happy bidding. Very sorry about the picture angles, cant figure out how to change them. I have the clear title in hand. Im Minnesota, after so many years, the title only says no mileage required. I cannot verify the mileage, due to the previous owner not having much for records. The speedometer was changed out and reads 79,000. I got the old one with it that reads 207254. The previous owner towed the Jeep behind his motorhome. I am a very reputable Ebayer and intend to keep it that way. Buy with confidence. But if you bid, you must be prepared to buy. This is now a No Reserve auction.  Thanks, Bob

Stellantis reports record margins, $7B profits despite chip shortage

Tue, Aug 3 2021

MILAN — Automaker Stellantis on Tuesday said it achieved faster-than-expected progress on synergies and record margins in its first six months as a combined company, despite suffering 700,000 units in lower production due to interruptions in the semiconductor supply chain. The company — formed from French carmaker Peugeot PSAÂ’s takeover of the Italian-American company Fiat Chrysler — reported net profit of 5.9 billion euros ($7 billion) in the first half of 2021, compared with a loss 813 million euros during the same period a year earlier, which was impacted by the coronavirus restrictions around the globe. Shipments rose 44% to 3.2 million units, while revenues rose 46% to 75 billion euros. “We are very pleased with the speed with which the new team has begun to execute as one company, as Stellantis,Â’Â’ Chief Financial Officer Richard Palmer told reporters. Semiconductor shortages accounted for 200,000 units of production losses in the first quarter and 500,000 in the second quarter. Semiconductors are used more than ever before in new vehicles with electronic features such as Bluetooth connectivity and driver assist, navigation and hybrid electric systems. Stellantis achieved 1.3 billion euros in cost savings in the first half, mostly by sharing investments in new technologies and platforms, which Palmer said was a faster rate than initially forecast. It aims to achieve 80% of the targeted 5 billion in cost savings by 2024. “These synergies allow us to continue to invest in the electrification strategy, which we talk about every day,” Palmer said. Stellantis, which lags competitors in rolling out electric vehicles, plans to launch 21 fully electric or plug-in gas electric hybrid vehicles over the next two years. North American posted record profitability on global sales of Ram trucks and the strong launch of the Jeep Wrangler 4xe, which was the best-selling plug-in gas electric vehicle in the United States in the second quarter. Stellantis was the market leader in South America and second in Europe. The results were presented on a pro-forma basis, taking into account the performance of each of the carmakers as separate entities during 2020.

Airbag fault on 1M recalled Jeeps getting second look from NHTSA [UPDATE]

Mon, 02 Jun 2014

UPDATE: Here is the statement we received from Chrysler regarding NHTSA's query: "Chrysler Group LLC advised the National Highway Traffic Administration of the six reports and, in accordance with the Company's long-standing practice, is cooperating fully with the resulting investigation. Customer safety is paramount at Chrysler Group. Customers who are concerned may call 1-800-853-1403."
It appears that Jeep's repairs for nearly one million Grand Cherokees from 2002-2004 and Liberty models from 2002-2003 might not be over yet. The vehicles were first recalled in November 2012 because the front airbags could suddenly deploy without being in an accident. Now, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a recall query into them because of reports of inadvertent activation on some already corrected vehicles.
The original problem affected over 919,000 vehicles worldwide, including 744,822 in the US, and was caused by a degrading circuit in the wires that control the airbags. In some cases the airbag warning light would come on just before the premature activation, but in other cases it would just happen. The automaker installed an "in-line jumper harness with an integrated electrical filter" meant to eliminate the power spikes believed to be the cause.

2014 Jeep Cherokee dreams of Moab, crawls on stage [w/video]

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

The all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee inched its way onto the stage at the New York Auto Show today, proving that at least the "Trail Rated" version of the SUV is more than just a controversial unique odd fresh face in the mid-size segment. After the short, simulated Moab run by the Trailhawk model, the gray four-door was joined on the stage by a burgundy Limited model - the luxurious highway variant.
As a recap, the all-new 2014 Cherokee rides atop a modular Alfa Romeo-derived platform (we know it from the Dodge Dart) and will be offered in both front- and all-wheel drive models with a choice between a 2.4-liter four-cylinder (rated at 184 horsepower) and a new 3.2-liter Pentastar V6 (developing 271 horsepower) engine. A nine-speed automatic is standard and no less than three different all-wheel drive systems are available.
Of the four different models (Sport, Latitude, Limited, and Trailhawk), we like the rugged looks and capabilities offered by the Trailhawk the best. Overlook the red tow hooks and check out its more aggressive wheel/tire package, flared fenders, reduced breakover angle and lack of brightwork in our gallery of live images from the New York show. Skid plates and off-road capable tires round out the package. Read all the details in the official press release below.
