Awesome 1979 Jeep CJ Sedan. I want to explain that I am selling this reluctantly as I purchased it in 2004-05 and worked on it until my sister's unexpected health issues caused me to move to Maine to take care of her. Since I didn't own/drive the vehicle much there is a lot I have forgotten about since I haven't seen recently it until a couple of weeks ago-so bear with me as I try to list all the details. The Jeep was initially stored inside but space became an issue and it had to be moved outside where it has been for about 5 years. Jeep has the original 304 V8 engine . Anyone with knowledge about Jeeps will know the 8 cylinder Jeeps are getting harder and harder to come by. This CJ has four speed heavy duty transmission and many extras such a Mean Green Alternator,MSD High Vibration coil, electric fan, heavy duty gas tank shell, Dick Cepek tires on  American (?)chrome rims, Warn hubs, BF Goodrich 33X12.5 15 Mudders (4 tires/wheels and spare),stainless front bumper, stainless dash, stainless grill, stainless mirrors. Has a 4" rollbar , matching side rock slider set, and gray carpeting  Fender flares have been added.Jeep ran well when I left it and my dad started it last year to move it and said it ran well- but system needs to be flushed before running it again and I don't have the resources to do so from Maine. Has power steering/power brakes and Grant leather steering wheel. The Jeep will need to be transported by the new owner-I have driven t on the highway but it is very high and I would not advise it on a regular basis! Has a four barrel Holley carb as well as many other extras I cannot recall. Has a Ramsey Winch and KC lights in the front. Has Powertrax lock right lockers installed but comes with the original spider gears as well. Jeep is lifted 6" over the axles. Beautiful heavy duty cast differential covers front/rear. I had just purchased (and had installed) a new Painless wiring harness but some fool broke into the Jeep a week after I left and stole the Sony CD player I had put into it-so the wiring needs mending. I will include all kinds of spare parts (starter, front seat, rear seat, soft top doors and support, stainless parts, original spider gears,ect.)  I have a nice pair of TJ seat brackets/ sliders I will throw in. Will include the original dash and hard doors as well as a HEAVY tow chain.. Jeep comes with the impossible to find ACME hardtop and doors. I travelled from Massachusetts to Big Rapids Michigan to get this nice set. Price does not include Hi-Lift jack. As you can see, everything needs to be cleaned, body frame needs a sand/bead blasting, ect. One of the Cepek tires was leaking air and may/may not be good-I took it off and put the spare on it so it can be moved.I will throw in a set of cj7 fiberglass aftermarket doors and rear hatch for parts,/glass. (I had to purchase these to scavange the highly sought after door latches to use on the Acme doors). Mileage on my title is 102,794 but that is approximate as I have added only a minimal amount since I purchased it.Since I can only be there to meet with the owner after the sale, I am selling this AS IS. It comes with hundreds of dollars in spare parts as shown. I am trying to be completely honest in my listing but I don't need any complications either but will be glad to answer any questions through ebays' messaging system. This was a beautiful Jeep a few years ago and needs some work but it is solid and a classic CJ 4x4 .New buyer is responsible to pick up but I will work with you if time is an issue.

Obviously this is a CJ5 but I forgot to note that in my listing. Also, before it was parked I had a custom made prop shaft installed by Mitchell Driveline which was in the neighborhood of $500.

Jeep's new Chip Away commercial has us hunting Al Pacino's back catalog

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

Chrysler has done a pretty good job as of late turning its television commercials into pep talks or rallying cries, but for its first ad for the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee, it turned to Al Pacino's inspirational speech from the movie Any Given Sunday. In the movie, Pacino's character talks about how football is a game of inches, but the commercial, titled Chip Away, focuses more on the attention to detail that Jeep has exhibited on its updated flagship SUV.
Centering around the newest Grand Cherokee model, the luxurious $47,995 Summit trim level, the commercial shows off some of the hand-stitched leathers and real metal and wood accents found inside the cabin. Check out the new 60-second spot by scrolling below.

Total auto recalls already on record pace in 2014

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

If you've noticed that there have been more recalls than usual this year, you may be on to something. According to a report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the US market is on pace to break a record for recalls. In 2013, 22 million cars were recalled. We're only a third of the way through 2014, though, and we've already halved that figure, with 11 million units recalled. That's wild.
Considering the past few months, it shouldn't be a surprise that General Motors is leading the charge, with six million of the 11 million units recalled coming from one of the General's four brands. Between truck recalls, CUV recalls and the ignition switch recall, 2014 hasn't been a great year for GM.
Other recall leaders include Nissan (one million Sentra and Altima sedans), Honda (900,000 Odyssey minivans), Toyota (over one million units in a few recalls), Volkswagen (150,000 Passat sedans), Chrysler (644,000 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs) and most recently, Ford (434,000 units, the bulk of which were early Ford Escape CUVs). So while it's been a bad year for GM so far, its competitors aren't doing too well, either.

Jeep Twitter account hacked, bad language, poor grammar and some hilarity ensue

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

Just a day after Burger King's Twitter account was compromised by "unauthorized users," Jeep's social media feed has been similarly hacked. Both instances of digital incursion share some similarities - the BK hackers changed the company's logo for McDonald's familiar golden arches, saying a sale had occurred, while the Jeep miscreants have replaced Jeep's branding with that of General Motors property Cadillac.
The resulting tweets from the damaged Jeep account have been a pretty brutal, to put it bluntly. Most of the content coming from the hacked account is unpublishable here, using language that is peppered with racial epithets, and poorly worded "shout outs."
In addition to the defamatory tweets themselves, the hackers have significantly altered the layout of the page. Jeep's header image now features a picture of the Cadillac ATS to go along with the Wreath and Crest, some language calling out that car as winning the 2013 North American Car of the Year award, and this gem: "The official Twitter handle for the Jeep(R) - Just Empty Every Pocket, Sold To Cadillac =[" Also, perhaps in an ode to yesterday's Burger King heist, the background image for the page now features a McDonald's-themed donk. The devil's in the details, we guess.
