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.

Chrysler uses Super Bowl spots to honor troops, farmers

Sun, 03 Feb 2013

How do you follow up such revered and successful ads as Chrysler's last two Super Bowl commercials? Imported from Detroit and Halftime in America should be given credit for giving the automaker's public perception a complete overhaul after its rescue from the brink with taxpayer money. What next, then?
We just found out during Super Bowl XLVII. This year Chrysler went with two commercials, one for Jeep and the other Ram. The two-minute-long Jeep commercial, called Whole Again, is narrated by Oprah Winfrey and presented as an open letter to the service men and women of America, simply expressing admiration for what they do - poignant message coming from a company whose history is so entwined with that of the military's.
The Ram commercial, called Farmer, honors the agricultural backbone of this country. Its soundtrack is a speech entitled "So God Made a Farmer" given by the famous radio broadcaster Paul Harvey, which plays over a slideshow of original photography commissioned by Ram. The images, of course, focus on farming and the people who do it for a living, and there's a few Ram trucks in there, as well.

China orders Jeep to investigate Wrangler fire risk

Mon, 06 Jan 2014

It's been some time since we've heard anything about fires related to the Jeep Wrangler (foreign or domestic), but it sounds like the go-anywhere SUV could be in hot water once again in China. Bloomberg is reporting that the Chinese government is ordering Jeep to investigate the matter and, in the meantime, also recommending Wrangler owners to not drive their vehicles in "extreme conditions" due to a "relatively high risk" of catching on fire.
There is no indication as to how many vehicles or which model years are affected, but the previous fire problems in both the US and China - which led to investigations but no recalls - were traced back to automatic transmission fluid leaks. The article, however, does not say what the potential problem is this time around as Jeep has not released a comment on the matter. The official notice, in Chinese, can be found here.

'84 MotorWeek Cherokee, Bronco and Blazer comparison indulges your SUV nostalgia

Fri, Jan 16 2015

These days, truck-based, full-frame SUVs are somewhat of a rarity on the auto landscape due to the rapid rise in popularity of easier-driving, car-based crossovers. Although, without the gradually building popularity of these chunky, high-riding vehicles decades ago, it's unlikely that America's roads would be filled with so many CUVs today. In its latest dig into the archives, MotorWeek has found a 1984 comparison test of a trio of these early Sport Utility Wagons, as long-time host John Davis called them, that helped get acceptance of this segment going. This is a red, white and blue test of the SUVs from American automakers at the time and pits the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Bronco and Jeep Cherokee (specifically in Wagoneer guise) against each other. Driving manners and interior usability are considered in the evaluation, but Motorweek actually takes these vehicles off road, too. Among the bigger revelations is the improvement in on-road ability in the past 30 years. While specific 0-60 times aren't given, all three models take around 10 seconds just to get to around 50 miles per hour in the 500-feet on-ramp acceleration test. Check out this clip to see just how far this segment has progressed in the past three decades or just get a blast of nostalgia from these now vintage models.
