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

7 months later, Jeep 'trailer hitch' recall still stalled
Tue, 14 Jan 2014For the past few years, Chrysler and its CEO, Sergio Marchionne, have gone head-to-head with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and its boss, David Strickland, over the government safety agency's request for Chrysler to recall almost three-million Jeep vehicles due to what NHTSA says is a safety issue that has caused at least 51 deaths. After a three-year investigation and Chrysler's initial refusal to issue a recall because it deemed the vehicles safe and built to the day's federal requirements, last summer, the two parties compromised on a "voluntary campaign" to inspect 1.56 million vehicles, those being the 1992 to 1998 Grand Cherokee and 2002 to 2007 Liberty.
Those vehicles were designed with their gas tanks between the rear axle and the bumper, and NHTSA says that in rear-end collisions, damage to the fuel tank has caused fires responsible for those 51 deaths. The compromise reached last summer was that Chrysler would inspect 1.56 million vehicles and, "if necessary, provide an upgrade to the rear structure of the vehicle." Practically speaking, that meant Chrysler would replace aftermarket trailer hitches, but would take no action if a vehicle had a factory-installed hitch or an aftermarket hitch from Mopar.
A report in The Detroit News says the "voluntary campaign" is just now getting under way, with Chrysler saying last week that the design of the replacement part had been finalized and it was tooling up "to deliver the required volume." Seven months later, still in question is whether NHTSA will crash-test the fix engineered by Chrysler, noteworthy because not only did the vehicles in question pass every safety standard necessary to be cleared for sale at the time, there are still questions (to those of us on the outside) as to how the Jeeps at issue fare among their peers in such incidents. Either way, Chrysler and NHTSA apparently still disagree on the efficacy of the remedy itself: the carmaker says it might help in low-speed crashes but not high-speed collisions, a position the NHTSA is at odds with. All of this means the campaign doesn't yet have an end in sight.
2015 Ford F-150 named Truck of Texas, Lincoln and Jeep also awarded at Truck Rodeo
Tue, 14 Oct 2014The Ford Motor Company has a lot of reasons to celebrate after winning eight categories in this year's Texas Auto Writers Association's annual Truck Rodeo. Most important among them, the Blue Oval's latest 2015 Ford F-150 earned the prestigious Truck of Texas award, ending the Ram 1500's two-year winning streak. The 2015 Lincoln MKC also grabbed the honor as the CUV of Texas, and Ford was named Truck Line of Texas.
FoMoCo even took trophies for best technology with its extensive use of aluminum on its latest F-Series and best commercial vehicle for the new Transit 250. It wasn't a total sweep, though, because the Jeep Grand Cherokee grabbed the title of the SUV of Texas for the fifth straight time.
This year's event put 60 auto writers in 75 pickups, SUVs and crossovers and challenged them to find the best in a plethora of categories. All of the winners are listed below, and scroll down to read the full announcements from the Texas Auto Writers Association and Ford.
Chrysler recalls small number of 2013-2014 cars and trucks over engine debris
Thu, 12 Dec 2013Chrysler is recalling a small number cars over issues with their 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. The recall, which affects 522 examples of its 2013 Dodge Avenger and Chrysler 200 models, as well as 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot CUVs has to do with potential debris in the balance shaft bearings.
The abrasive stuff can cause the oil pressure to drop, which could lead to the engine stalling or outright failure. This situation could at best leave drivers stranded and at worst lead to a crash.
Chrysler will begin notifying owners, who will need to report in to have the balance shaft module replaced. All repairs are naturally free of charge. Scroll down for the bulletin from NHTSA.
