Jeep Cj5 4x4 on 2040-cars

Year:1981 Mileage:126500
Location:

Marshall, North Carolina, United States

Frame off restoration. Back half of frame is rebuilt with 2x4 box tubing.  1045 1 1/4 dom tubing rock sliders run down the sides. It is way stronger and safer than when new. New floorboards. 
Came factory with the General Motors 2.5liter 4 cyl Iron Duke.     
It's got factory power steering and power disc brakes, both work great. It's also got factory front swaybar. 
I installed a new clutch, slave cylinder when I had it all apart. 
4X4 works great.
Horn, wipers and all the lights work.  Speedo and voltmeter work.  Fuel Gauge doesn't work.  
I installed a new fuel sending unit in the tank when it was all apart too.  Fuel gauge is all it needs.  I might have it fixed by the end of the action.   
There are no duster covers made for the CJ5 that I know of so I adapted a CJ7 cover to fit it. That and the bikini top are all the top it's got. 
I bought it with the Virginia title signed by previous owner, buyer slot is blank and ready for you to sign.

I was kidding when I said 'Mud or rock abrasions' for trim.  Body is really straight, has no rust of bondo and has a new tough acrylic enamel paint job.

Also engine seems to be in good shape.  Doesn't leak or burn oil.  Good compression, spark plugs look older but ok.  Oil looks good.
Does need a tuneup.  Idles a little rougher than it should and likes to die when you pull up to a stop sometimes.
I'll fix this stuff if I have to but would rather give someone else a good deal if they can fix the little stuff.

2014 Jeep Cherokee: June 2014

Wed, 09 Jul 2014

I got a text message from Editor-In-Chief Sharon Carty one afternoon proclaiming that her new favorite SUV is our long-term 2014 Jeep Cherokee. And she's not alone. I'm not sure if anyone else on staff would go so far as to use the "favorite" descriptor, but after just over a month of honeymooning with our new long-termer, it's safe to say that the Jeep is quickly finding its way into the good graces of a number of Autoblog staffers.
There's good reason for all that praise, too. Thus far, the Jeep has proven itself to be incredibly competent and comfortable for daily life - it's functional, quiet, and packed with a host of amenities that make it easy to live with. It's been wholly trouble-free (with less than 4,000 miles on the clock as of this writing, it ought to be), but even nitpicks have been few and far between.

Auto critic calls out Corvette, Mustang and Cherokee faithful

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

Most automotive purists fear change, but not without reason. Change, after all, did kill big-block V8s, along with most station wagons and manual transmissions. But change has also brought with it far more performance, safety and fuel economy - not to mention ridding the world of shag carpet interiors, bias-ply tires and those horrible motorized seatbelts of the early '90s.
By this time next year, the Chevy Corvette, Jeep Cherokee and next-generation Ford Mustang will all be on sale and will all, in some way, have angered or offended purists. To those critics, Mark Phelan of the Detroit Free Press is preemptively telling them to stop complaining - at least until they've all been driven. From the Corvette's square taillights and the Cherokee's radical nose to whatever pony car purists will harp on the 2015 Mustang for, Phelan's column points out the positives of automotive evolution and the negatives of staying the course for too long. That's fair enough, but do you think Phelan is on point, or all wet? Head on over to the Detroit Free Press to read his words, then have your say in Comments.

Jurassic Park made a big impact on these Jeep drivers

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

For a certain cohort of young folks, Jurassic Park is a touchstone film from their childhood. Not only did it play into practically every little boy's love of dinosaurs, the movie included some great action scenes and special effects that still hold up today. In its latest video, The Aficionauto takes a look the Jurassic Park Motor Pool, a California car club with over 40 fans who created replica vehicles from the iconic film.
The club is made up of an interesting cross-section of people. Many of them were Jeep Wrangler fans that already loved off-roading and Jurassic Park, and liked the idea of bringing them together. Like any close-knit club, it ends up being about community and people coming together to share their interests. It's quite a heartwarming video. Also, be sure to stay until the end because The Aficionauto teases a future Jurassic Park-themed vehicle. Scroll down to check out the motor pool.
