1968 Kaiser Jeep CJ5. Dauntless 3.7l 225 V6, T-14 3 speed manual transmission, Dana 18 transfer case, Dana 27 front axle, Dana 44 rear axle.  Open differential, 4.88 gears, 10" self adjusting drum brakes on all four corners. Looks to have had an 80's repaint,  factory color was gold.  Meyers hard top, with roll up windows. Wonderful driver, the little V6 (no smoke) makes enough power to break the rear tires loose on dry pavement, and the brakes will lock up the front wheels in a panic stop.  Transmission shifts cleanly, and does NOT pop out of 2nd or 3rd gear (common in a worn out trans). With the exception of a couple of extra gauges, a chain clutch linkage, some reinforcements around the spring hangers on the frame horns, and what look to be Kelsey Hayes Renegade 1 wheels, its sits just as it rolled off the line in Toledo. Pictures document some of the small issues the body has.  Both fenders have small cracks where they meet the grill,  passenger side door is a little wavy on the bottom,  factory spare tire location (pass. rear fender) shows some bubbling,  hat channels are cracked in a couple of places, and 1 area looks to have been cut out by a previous owner (3-3.5").  Rear body mounts are still intact (uncommon).

GMC boss wants a Jeep Wrangler rival

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

Challengers come and challengers go, but the Jeep Wrangler continues to push forward even after vehicles like the Toyota FJ Cruiser and the entire Hummer brand have been shut down. Now GMC reportedly wants to take a stab at the quintessential Jeep, as well.
The news comes directly from Buick-GMC vice president Duncan Aldred, speaking with our compatriots over at Edmunds. Although Aldred said there are no plans currently on the table to expand GMC's lineup beyond the current range, "there is plenty of room everywhere in the hierarchy."
That could include a rival to the Wrangler, as well as a flagship luxury SUV positioned above the current Yukon Denali (pictured above). Just when (or for that matter, if) such models might come into fruition remains a big question mark, but it's certainly interesting to see what GM's dedicated truck brand has on the drawing board.

Maserati Levante crossover not Jeep based after all?

Thu, 20 Feb 2014

Maserati has been teasing its crossover project since 2011, which is when it first showed off the Kubang concept (pictured above). Still, the production version, rumored to be called the Levante, remains a complete mystery. The CUV was first rumored to borrow the platform from the Jeep Grand Cherokee, but new rumors indicate that the Italian, luxury crossover might actually take the underpinnings from the Quattroporte and Ghibli.
In a brief interview, Maserati CEO Harald Wester told CNN Money that the Levante wouldn't use Jeep's platform. Motor Trend spoke with an unnamed Maserati engineer who confirmed the rumor. Officially, the company says that no decision has been made.
We can add this to another long list of rumors about the Italian CUV. It was originally supposed to be built at Chrysler's Jefferson North assembly plant in Detroit. Then, plans were changed to build it in Italy.

Finding surfing spots in the UK is tough work, even in a Jeep

Sun, 06 Jul 2014

You truly have to love surfing to practice the sport in the United Kingdom. The area isn't exactly teeming with warm beaches full of sunbathers, and absolutely no easy spots to find big waves. To be a UK surfer, you need to be a fearless adventurer, not to mention quite lucky. And driving a Jeep might help, too.
Surfers Oli Adams and Micah Lester are traveling around the British Isles in a Jeep Wrangler Overland trying to find the best surf spots out there. These guys don't fit the laid-back surfer stereotype, but that's because finding waves in the UK is hard work. They say that the waves at some of these spots only exist for about three hours every year when the current and winds are just right.
To find these surf spots, the Jeep's offroad capabilities are paramount. In some areas, as you'll see in the video, there isn't even a beach, just jagged rocks. It would be like the movie Endless Summer, that is, if it could start snowing at any moment. These guys are clearly dedicated to their sport.
