A True Survivor! A very original, 1970 Kaiser-Jeep CJ5.

Description:

This Jeep is a survivor. I am unaware of others in this original condition. The Jeep is completely stock. It even has the original, oil bath air cleaner. The previous owner told me that the Jeep has less than 40,000 miles and lived most of its life on a farm in Arkansas where miles were low but the vehicle worked hard. The previous owner made the re-spray a few years ago and replaced the carburetor, speedometer, turn signal system, radiator, hoses, wiring, tires and a few other items. I built the roll cage for the sake of safety. I replaced the heater core, installed rebuilt and recovered Tuxedo Park seats and various trim items. I also added the period correct, Warn "Belleview" Winch. This winch was the only electric winch available when this Jeep was new. It works perfect and could likely tug the little CJ up a tree. The Dauntless V6 pulls like crazy and has incredible torque to the 3 speed transmission.

Issues:

This is an original, 44 year old Jeep! It drives fine but is a cobby old creature! To make it road perfect, I would replace the springs, shocks, upgrade to the common, larger front drum brakes and maybe a power steering system.I would also replace the 44 year old seals in the transmission and resurface the grabby clutch at the same time. The body is almost rust free with some degradation in small reinforcement struts under the tub and these areas have been neutralized. The heater needs ducts in the cab. The Warn winch needs new actuating cables. All of this is pretty trivial.

I have way too many projects and a busy racing season. Take this old girl to a new home and put her on display.

This American Life spends a week selling Jeeps in Long Island

Thu, 19 Dec 2013

So you think you know car dealers? Well, maybe you do, but This American Life spent a month at Town and Country Jeep Chrysler Doge Ram in Long Island to give us a behind-the-scenes look (or listen, since it's a radio program) at what it's like to be a car dealer.
Yes, there's a lot of swearing in thick New York accents, frustration, confusion, and generally it's a madhouse at the dealership. But that's understandable when the sales staff has to sell 129 vehicles in October in order to get an $85,000 manufacturer bonus - with several other Jeep dealerships within a 10-mile radius.
The episode, 129 Cars, is worth a listen, but make sure you have 71 minutes to spare if you want to get through it in one sitting. Head here for the unedited version or here for the bleeped version (which is 58 minutes long).

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.

Four Wheeler crowns Ultimate Factory 4x4... who wins?

Thu, 15 Nov 2012

Nearly every automaker doing business in the SUV or pickup truck segments offers a package designed to improve the off-road capabilities of its wares. But, of course, not all such factory kits are created equal. How, then, to separate the wheat from the chaff? Gather each of them up and put them through their paces, naturally.
The folks from Four Wheeler and PickupTrucks.com joined forces to run just such a comparison test, with the winner named the Ultimate Factory 4x4. A total of seven vehicles showed up to the fight: the 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, 2012 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X and Xterra PRO-4X, 2012 Ram Power Wagon, and 2012 Toyota 4Runner Trail and Tacoma TRD T|X Baja Series.
With the contestants in place, the whole crew put each vehicle through a battery of tests that included skidpad and acceleration measurements, a hillclimb, a rocky stairstep course and a rock garden. Considering the nature of the beasts, on-road ride and comfort were not part of the routine.
