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

Project Trail Force Jeep Wrangler goes to SEMA, then to a lucky winner
Wed, Jul 1 2015Extreme Terrain is an aftermarket parts company focused on the Jeep Wrangler. Partly just because it's a really cool thing to do, and probably having something to do with Jeep's upcoming 75th anniversary, Extreme Terrain found some dance partners to help work up a special 2015 Wrangler Rubicon that it will show off at the Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival in Butler, PA, then at SEMA in November, where it will be given away. Extreme worked with Barricade Off-Road and Kevin Tetz from the Spike show Trucks! to build the Wrangler it calls Project Trail Force. There is more than $24,000 worth of aftermarket gear on it, starting with the Ripp centrifugal supercharger that pumps an additional 140 horsepower into the 3.6-liter V6. It's got a 3.5-inch lift kit from Rock Krawler, Dana 44 axles strung between 37-inch BFG tires, Barricade bumpers, a 9,500-pound winch, fender flares, rock sliders, a 50-inch LED light bar above the windshield, LED spotlights on the A-pillars, and seven-inch KC Hilites headlights. Rugged Ridge worked over the inside with upgrades like all-terrain floor and cargo liners, plus seat covers, and a new navigation system with a back-up camera. If you want to win it, you can enter the contest at Extreme Terrain once every week until Oct. 23. The winner gets flown to SEMA to have Kevin Tetz hand the keys over. If you just want to see it, you can head to PA for that heritage festival. The Project Trail Force will also lead a Jeep parade that could set a Guinness World Record. The press release below has a lot more info on the build. Good luck. EXTREMETERRAIN AND BARRICADE OFF-ROAD TO UNVEIL THEIR FULLY-BUILT 2015 JEEP WRANGLER AT BANTAM JEEP FESTIVAL ExtremeTerrain.com and Barricade Off-Road teamed up to build a $73,000+ 2015 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon to be given away to a lucky winner at the 2015 SEMA Show • Giveaway Link: http://www.extremeterrain.com/jeep-wrangler-project-trailforce-giveaway.html • Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsO6fxVq6kI MALVERN, Pa. (June 12, 2015) – ExtremeTerrain, a leader in providing aftermarket Jeep Wrangler parts, along with rugged, enthusiast-driven Jeep Wrangler aftermarket armor and accessories manufacturer Barricade Off-Road, today unveiled a fully-built 2015 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon dubbed Project Trail Force at the Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival in Butler, PA.
Radical 2016 Jeep Wrangler suggested by job listings?
Fri, 31 May 2013With most inside the industry expecting the next-generation Jeep Wrangler to arrive for the 2016 model year, it makes sense that the automaker would be looking for some choice candidates to to fill program openings as the off-roader goes through its development. A recent ad on Chryslercareers.com suggests to some that the lightweight Wrangler Stitch Concept, revealed just two months ago and shown above, provides some clues about the off-road icon's next iteration.
According to Automotive News, the job descriptions - which don't name the model specifically - hint that the next-generation Wrangler will benefit from a serious diet. The ads appear to seek those familiar with advanced high-strength steels, hinting that lightweight aluminum body panels may appear on the 4x4. In addition, there are suggestions that Jeep may fit the Wrangler replacement with air suspension, as seen on the Ram and Grand Cherokee, to retain ample off-road clearance yet lower that chassis to improve aerodynamics at highway speeds. The job postings reportedly also lend credence to the idea of a diesel Wrangler.
It seems every bit of the next-generation Wrangler is up for review, as it will be the first time this iconic model is redesigned under Fiat ownership. Questions remain whether or not the Jeep will retain its clip-down hood, easy-to-remove door pins and folding front windshield - loyalists expect them, but fuel economy and safety standards may crimp their cases for survival.
164K Jeep Cherokees recalled to protect liftgate from moisture
Thu, Jun 25 2015FCA is recalling 164,003 examples of the 2014 and 2015 Jeep Cherokee because moisture can damage the power liftgate controls on models that are equipped with that feature. Regionally, this includes 99,436 of them in the US, 13,195 in Canada, 2,406 in Mexico, and 48,966 outside of NAFTA. The problem came to light after the automaker started investigating a fire in one of the SUVs. There were no injuries, though. According to FCA US' research, the power hatch's control module potentially can be exposed to water. This can cause a short circuit and possibly a fire, as in this case. Until the issue is repaired, the company is advising owners to keep the cargo area dry on Cherokees equipped with this feature. To fix things, dealers will install a shield around the controls to protect them from moisture and will replace any modules showing exposure to water. Statement: Water-Shield Installation June 24, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 99,436 SUVs in the U.S. to install shields that protect their power liftgate control modules, and related components, from moisture. FCA US LLC began an investigation after learning of a reported vehicle fire. The probe revealed power liftgate control modules in certain SUVs may be inadvertently exposed to water. This may cause a short-circuit, creating a fire hazard. However, the Company is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. The campaign affects model year 2014 and 2015 Jeep Cherokee SUVs, but is limited to vehicles equipped with power liftgates. An estimated 13,195 customers are affected in Canada, along with an estimated 2,406 customers in Mexico and 48,966 outside the NAFTA region. The estimated total recall population is 164,003. All affected customers will be advised when they may schedule service. If the modules show signs of water exposure, they will be replaced. All recall-related work will be performed free of charge. In the interim, the cargo areas of 2014-15 Cherokees equipped with power liftgates should be monitored and kept dry. Customers with questions may call the FCA US Customer Information Center at 1-800-853-1403.
