I just bought a 2004 rubicon, not sure if that was the best idea, to replace this solid jeep. If this cj doesn't sell, I will keep it as I don't need to sell it, just offsetting the cost of the newer one. 
It has 118,000 miles, and engine was rebuilt approximately 1,000 miles ago, and has all the original functioning emission equipment.  Jeep originally came from California, and here In colorado the rest of its life. Has the original rare color of Montana blue. No bondo- no new paint- no diamond plate to cover up anything. Just a nice solid jeep!!! Has 2 small rust bubbles areas on both sides of front lower fenders. Floors and body mounts really nice, and hard to find like this. Has the t-177 4 speed, and the great Dana 300 transfer case. Brand new bestop top, new heater core, and transfer case mount. Seats are also new.. No rear seat. Tires are big 31x10.50x15 mud terrain t/a. 3:54 gears, runs down the highway at 65-75 easy, no shakes, pulls or wobbles. The heater and defrost now work pretty good. Has a tow bar for front for very easy pulling...the only things not working is the 4wd light and high beam light on the dash. I may have knocked off a wire, as it was working. The stereo also is not hooked up. Great oil pressure on a manual gauge, as charging also works well. Has the patina look that some people are paying for that look now!!! I eventually wanted to reaping and re decal it, but the more I look at it, the more I like it left alone. 
A great driver, or second car, or just for the hills. Has power steering, with a rare tilt wheel and disc brakes. Lock out hubs. Look at some of the other jeeps, diamond plate, primer, or painted over the bondo. This is a rare dry jeep. Can even see the original primer coming through the rear and on the roll bar... 
I have a clear colorado title In my name and is also insured that way...
It is also listed locally and possibly sell that way. 
I will include a buy it now, but once the Low reserve is met, the buy it now will go away. 
Look at some of the others with 1 or 2 line descriptions, check my feedback. The reserve is UNDER $3,000.00!!!


    On May-29-14 at 18:23:14 PDT, seller added the following information:

    There is a slight crease in the hood as shown, from the hood being opened to hit the windshield.. Seems like a common thing, forgot to mention that.

    Jeep launches new ad with unreleased Michael Jackson track

    Fri, 09 May 2014

    We've recently heard much about how Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne plans to pump up the volume on Jeep sales, inaugurating new models and global dealerships. But that's the stuff outlined in five-year plans; right now, advertising and special editions are at the fore, and the late Michael Jackson, too. Jeep has begun airing two commercials to push its Altitude Editions, Call of Summer and Lovers of the Game, that feature the song "Love Never Felt So Good" from Jackson's upcoming album of new music.
    A little more star power - and timely, too - comes from Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving. While Call of Summer features a few short shots of the former Rookie of the Year and two-time NBA All-Star, Lovers of the Game is all about his white Wrangler Altitude Edition and wrangling shots. You can watch both spots below, and if you want to hear the rest of the music track before the album hits, you can download it from iTunes.

    Hendrick wants to put Jeep Wranglers back on the battlefield

    Mon, Jan 25 2016

    The Jeep Wrangler could be headed back to the battlefield. According to reports, negotiations are currently under way with the US Army to adapt the iconical American off-roader for military use. The Wranglers would serve as inexpensive, lightweight, unarmored vehicles that could be more easily airlifted into remote locations than costlier, heavier, and bulkier options. The proposal is not being fielded by the Jeep brand itself or its parent company Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, but by Hendrick Dynamics. The Charlotte-based offshoot of NASCAR racing team Hendrick Motorsports calls its modified Wrangler the Hendrick Commando. Instead of the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 found in most US-market Wranglers, the Commando version employs the 2.8-liter diesel four built by VM Motori, modified to run on any type of diesel fuel or on JP-8 jet fuel to maximize its deployment versatility and comply with the Army's Single Fuel mandate of 2012. It would also support a variety of modular attachments for specific jobs, ranging from machine gun mounts and counter-mine rakes to radar arrays and advanced communications equipment. Hendrick says the Commando could also be deployed by helicopter or in cargo planes. And because it's based on a civilian platform, the Commando would also benefit from the latest advancements introduced by its manufacturer, the parts and service network already in place, and the thorough testing that's already gone into developing the Wrangler for civilian use. Hendrick has reportedly built 14 prototypes to date, including the two-door Commando 2 (based on the standard Wrangler), the four-door Commando 4 (based on the Wrangler Unlimited), and even a pickup conversion called the Commando S. It is not, however, the only company adapting Jeep Wranglers for military application. Israel-based Automotive Industries Ltd has been producing successive versions of the Wrangler-based Storm for use by the Israel Defense Forces and other militaries overseas since 1990. If the US Army awards the contract for the Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) vehicle to Hendrick Dynamics, it would bring the iconic Jeep back to the battlefield where it got its start. The brand and its most prolific model trace their roots back to the Willys MB, launched in 1941 on contract from the US Army for deployment in World War II.

    164K Jeep Cherokees recalled to protect liftgate from moisture

    Thu, Jun 25 2015

    FCA 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.
