1978 Jeep Cj5 Base Sport Utility 2-door 4.2l on 2040-cars
Columbia, South Carolina, United States
|
This was my fathers jeep. He bought it from a hunting buddy in 1980 and had it until his death in 2012. The car lived in Northern California until September 2013 and never saw rain. He would take it out of the garage for hunting season, tow it to his campsite, and tow it back to his garage when hunting season was over. Of the 42K miles, I would estimate that 1/3 to 1/2 of those miles were put on the jeep with the engine off being towed behind his truck.
The jeep has been outfitted for hunting. There is a rifle rack between the driver and passenger side. Fog lights were added. A Warn Winch ($1000?) was installed sometime in the last 5 years or so. The soft top is in mint condition as are the doors. I think the only time they were ever used was to ship the Jeep from Northern California to South Carolina. The back seat has never been used. The glove compartment was removed to install the rifle rack and is in perfect condition. I had a new battery put in during a full service in September 2013. Also had a new ignition switch put in. There is also a tow hitch-bar that can be used to tow the jeep behind your truck or RV. Everything works with the exception of the gas gauge. I do not know what is wrong with it. The rear view mirror is missing. My father may have removed it for better visibility while hunting. The tires have great tread on them, more than 60%, and appear to be fine, however, they have been on the jeep as long as I can remember (25+ years) and the new owner may want to change them out. My father was meticulous and the Jeep has been well cared for. I've put about 100 miles on it since September, and it runs great, very responsive. Since my fathers death, I've learned many things about him that are extremely unpleasant and I can't look at this jeep without those reminders, so I am selling it.It is very fun to drive. If you are looking for a well built AMC jeep with low miles that has been well cared for, please feel free to email me with any questions. Please request additional pictures and I will take an upload. Shipping is buyers responsibility however I will assist with shipping if needed. |

Jeep Renegade pricing to start at $18,595?
Fri, 14 Mar 2014While there's no shortage of excitement surrounding the new Jeep Renegade, one of the limiting factors to the little trucklet will be its price. With the Kia Soul starting at $14,900 and the Nissan Juke kicking off at $18,990, the Renegade can't afford to stray away from that price bracket.
And judging by some potentially leaked pricing info, it won't. A quick Google search of "Jeep Renegade Price" reveals (at least for now) that the Italian-built Jeep will start at $18,595. The "as shown" price of $25,895 seems to indicate the Trailhawk model shown on Jeep's consumer page.
If the $18,595 figure is correct, it's likely for the base, two-wheel-drive Sport model, with the Latitude and Limited trims falling somewhere between there and the $25,895 as-equipped price of the Trailhawk.
2013 AEV Brute Double Cab
Fri, 11 Jan 2013These are the guys who bring an M777 howitzer to a knife fight. In terms of overall rugged utility, the all-new 2013 Brute Double Cab from American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) is about as overkill as they come, and we can't seem to get enough of the beasts that this company produces. Unlike most aftermarket firms, always striving to lower cost and increase volume (but at the expense of quality), Michigan-based AEV takes pride in its OEM-quality design, engineering, manufacturing and testing. Everything is as good, or better, than the stuff from the factory, and they have been doing it this way for more than 15 years.
Launched at the recent 2012 SEMA show was the 2013 AEV Brute Double Cab. Its debut marked the company's expansion to a four-door Brute on the newer JK platform (drawing inspiration from the Land Rover Defender 130). I recently spent a few hours with the new truck in sunny Southern California, though unfortunately, due to time constraints, I was limited to pavement-only driving impressions.

Chrysler investigating complaints of vehicles with faulty power modules
Sun, 24 Aug 2014Chrysler owners are hopping mad after experiencing a series of electrical gremlins in some of the company's vehicles. Issues range from mere annoyances - windows rolling down and radios turning off of their own accord - to serious safety issues, with headlights that randomly shut off at night and cars that stall and refuse to start.
The issues are being blamed on the total integrated power module, which can cost up to $1,000 for customers to replace. This, of course, has led to a hefty batch of complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with 240 owners expressing their displeasure so far. Another site, CarComplaints.com, has registered over 300 complaints relating to the 2010 to 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango, alone, according to The New York Times.
Chrysler has acknowledged that it's investigating the complaints and is analyzing the faulty TIPMs, but that isn't quite enough for customers of the affected vehicles. The newspaper has snagged a few of the more harrowing tales with the electrically challenged Chrysler products, culled from the NHTSA complaints.
