I am offering up for sale one of the nicest Jeeps I have ever owned.
CONDITION:
This Jeep runs and drives like a dream. Just turn the key and it immediately comes alive. The original owner bought this Jeep just before retirement. He claimed that it never saw a winter being that they were snowbirds (had one house in Idaho and one in Arizona). The mileage of 75,500 are original miles and the original owner stated that half of those miles were towed miles. Just drive this Jeep and see its condition and you will know that he was telling the truth. There is absolutely NO RUST on this Jeep. It has always been in the dry climates of Idaho and Arizona. It is extremely rare to find a Jeep of this age and in its original condition with No Rust. As you can tell by the pictures, it is nearly flawless. The Laredo stickers are in great shape and there are a few small light surface scratches and no dents. You will have a hard time finding one this nice and in this great of condition.
The only thing that this Jeep is missing is the original Air Conditioning. The original owner had it removed because he did not believe air conditioning should have come in a Jeep in the first place. If the Jeep doesn't sell, I am going to keep it and put in an aftermarket Vintage Air system. (Vintage Air will be more reliable than trying to find the original compressor anyway). As you can see, the mounts for the air conditioning compressor are still attached to the engine block, so the addition of the compressor would be simple. I drive this Jeep daily and it is a blast to be in. It gets looks all the time. The Laredo package on this CJ5 doesn't end with the decals, it also has the upgraded steering wheel, custom leather seats and leather grab bar, ash tray on the dash, badging, clock, etc. All the gauges work as they should and the last trip I took which was about 150 miles, I got about 16 miles to the gallon at @ 60-65 mph. (With the 4 speed, I could have traveled faster. RPM Gauge was reading just under 2,000 RPM's at 65 mph).
The Four Wheel Drive works as it should and it as well as the transmission shifts perfect, just like new. In the time that I have owned this Jeep, it has been very reliable and I would not have a problem driving this across the country (as long as the weather is nice). As are most CJ5's, it can be a little squirrely with the Power Steering, however, I got used to it really quick and as mentioned above, I have traveled long distances with it at a fast pace.
FEATURES:
Jeep comes with the original 1981 Jeep Owners Manual, soft top with full soft doors, soft half doors, good tire life left on the All-Terrain BFGoodrich Tires, Original Factory Wheels, the original owner owned this Jeep until this year. I admit, I got a great deal on it and if I do not sell it, I will keep it. It is worth every penny and more of my Buy It Now price. The lucky new owner of this Jeep will be in Heaven and be the envy of many. That is how great this Jeep is. The Jeep has not been lifted. When I bought it, I had a local spring shop re-arch the front springs so that the Jeep would sit level. The springs are still in the stock original location. The Jeep also has the stock Posi-Trac in the Rear. It does not leak any fluids what-so-ever. Oil changes were done regularly with 10-30 Valvoline and K&N Oil Filters.
I am sure that I am missing something, so if you have any questions or comments, just send them my way and I will answer them. I can also take more pics if you want to see something specific that are not in the pics in the ad. As you can see by my feedback, I am very honest and truthful in describing what I am selling. This ad is no exception. You will not be disappointed with this Jeep.
Shipping is at the owners expense, however, I will do what I can to help load the Jeep. Good Luck. Thanks for looking at my auction. You can call or text me at 2O8.869.9927. I am in Idaho.

Jeep Cherokee Trail Carver is a more rugged Trailhawk
Wed, 06 Nov 2013We briefly mentioned the Jeep Cherokee Trail Carver that was heading to SEMA last week when discussing the Mopar lineup set to be shown in Las Vegas. At the time, though, we weren't able to dive too deeply into details. But with SEMA in full swing, we were able to sneak over and grab some snaps of one of the first modified Cherokees we've seen. The Cherokee is, after all, kind of an unknown quantity in the modification department, being so new and featuring such a polarizing design. We were quite interested to see what Mopar could come up with.
Starting with the Trailhawk 4x4 and its 3.2-liter V6, the engine is fitted with a Mopar cold-air intake and a new exhaust, although it's not clear what sort of power boost has resulted. We'll admit, we were hoping Jeep and Mopar would get a bit more aggressive with the Cherokee's suspension (has anyone thrown a few-inch lift on the new Jeep yet?), but there's no mention of upgrades beyond the knobby, off-road tires. Those should do some good when the going gets rough, while rock rails are there to protect the Auburn Pearl paint on the body.
Speaking of that paint, it's complemented by an interesting graphics package in contrasting black and Crush Orange. The cabin sports Katzkin Amaretto leather seats, along with tech-friendly items like a wireless charging system for cellphones and wireless internet.
Gilles defends 2014 Jeep Cherokee design as "very contemporary"
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Following the forced-hand introduction of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, there has definitely been a mix of responses revolving around everything from its design to the return of the legendary nameplate. As evidence of this, just check out the 1,000+ comments in our article last week and some of the many opinions that were voiced. Following this not-too-warm reception, Ward's Auto had a chance to talk to Chrysler designer chief - and SRT president - Ralph Gilles, who shed a little more light on the styling direction of the new Cherokee.
Rather than looking to previous models for inspiration, Gilles says that the Cherokee has been designed to be more contemporary, with Mark Allen, head of Jeep design, adding that a main goal was to make sure the design still looks modern five years from now. Interestingly, Gilles does point out that one of the design elements incorporated on the new Cherokee that pays homage to past Jeeps is the sharply downward angle for the leading edge of the beltline, which he notes is meant to mimic the look of the old YJ and TJ Wrangler models fitted with half doors. Of course, the squared-off wheel openings - a signature Jeep cue - are still used.
This is probably a design that will need to be seen on the street in actual daylight to properly assess, but in the meantime, we'll bring you full images and impressions when the Cherokee debuts at next month's New York Auto Show.
Jeep and Alfa Romeo join the already exotic Italian police force
Mon, Dec 12 2016Police departments in Italy are blessed with some of the most iconic cop cars on the planet. Where else will you see a pale blue Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 emblazoned with "Polizia" on the road? FCA decided they couldn't let Lamborghini steal the show and have handed over the first Jeep Renegade and Alfa Romeo Giulietta to the Police Academy in Rome. FCA is also loaning two Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloces that will join the two Giulia Quadrifoglios medical cars that are already in service. The Renegade is an four-wheel drive Italian-spec model with a 2.0-liter, 120 horsepower inline four-cylinder engine that we don't get in the United States. The current Giulietta is a small-hatchback that isn't sold in America. On the other hand, the new Giulia and its 280 horsepower turbocharged inline-four and the Q4 all-wheel drive system goes on sale next month. In polizia guise, it's one of the most formidable and beautiful pursuit vehicles on the road. FCA is no stranger to police cars and supplies Dodge Charger Pursuits to fleets all across the US. We spent some time in one a while back and learned all the pros and cons of driving a black and white cruiser.
