1980 Cj-5 on 2040-cars
Vail, Colorado, United States
|
1980 Jeep CJ-5 - 6 cylinder - 4x4- soft top - soft doors - 33 in tires with lift. I purchased this Jeep on Ebay in 2006 with the intent of off roading and rock climbing. Before I could do any of that my wife and I had our first child. So it is has been on asphalt ever since. Occasionally driven with the top off in the summer. I realize I will never get to use it the way I wanted to so I am selling it. The engine is not original and it has what I estimate to be 140,000 miles on it. The odometer is not accurate. The person I bought it from used it as a rock climber and it has the suspension set up for that. It has a custom roll cage. It runs very well. I recently had a new starter put in. It is a great Jeep that could be driven as is or improved upon. Things that I know are wrong with it: There is a small exhaust leak that I was told by the mechanic has been rpaired as well as it can be. It will soon be time to redo the suspension and shocks if you intend to make this a true off road monster. There is no radio ( I will include the one I purchased - still in the box). The framing for the soft top has some pieces that should be replaced (I have included those replacement pieces). There is some typical rust for a 34 year old vehicle. There is a crack in the rear right brake light casing. There is a tear in the rubber casing around the gear shift. The windshield wiper switch is tricky and should be replaced.
Extras included: Bikini top Jack Stereo (in box) Replacement soft top framing
I will answer any additional questions as best I can. When I picked this Jeep up in 2006, I drove it from Albequerque, NM to Vail, CO. It can be driven that far but I would suggest you pull it or trailer it if you are going to go that far. I will require a Paypal deposit of $1,000.00 within 48 hours of the end of the auction. |

Watch this 9-year-old drive Jeep Wrangler off-road [w/poll]
Wed, 28 May 2014This nine-year-old girl might be better at rock crawling than some people twice her age. But is it worth putting her in danger to do it? According to her father on the Jeep Experience Facebook page, her name is Faith, and she has been offroading with her family since she was two. At nine years old, she's now driving her dad's Jeep over the rocks by herself.
As you can see she's belted in and under her father's direct supervision and guidance. She shows immense confidence for someone her age and follows her dad's instructions on exactly what to do. Although, this could still be a very dangerous situation if something went wrong.
Previously, we saw a similar video with a six-year-old on a motorcycle driving on public roads through the desert. Voters decided by only a six-point margin that the adult should be in trouble for letting the kid ride the bike. Here, we have a slightly older child driving a vehicle off road. Where do you fall in this case? Is it still wrong to hand over control to a child? Let us know in the poll below and scroll down to watch the video.
2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Jeep appears to have nailed it this time. After two decades of assembling its Grand Cherokee sport utility vehicle, the American automaker has finally delivered a world-class off-roader capable of taking on everything in its segment - and more - with a high likelihood of coming out on top.
And if you drove last year's model, it's time to climb behind the wheel again as Jeep has significantly updated the SUV for 2014 with a bold new exterior appearance, an upgraded interior with enhanced electronics and a new transmission that completely transforms the way it drives.
We recently spent a full week with a dark blue 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 4x4, a well-optioned model fitted with the standard gasoline-fed V6. While it didn't have the punch of the range-topping V8-powered SRT8, or the fuel-sipping economy of its new EcoDiesel sibling, the high-volume variant left us quite impressed.
Going high-tech, the 4x4 way
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Is It An Off-Road Adventure Or Just A Walk In The Park?
I remember having to get out and lock hubs and shift into neutral to engage low range.
Coming off press previews of the 2013 Land Rover Range Rover and the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee that involved some heavy-duty off-road rock climbing, I'm simply amazed at the capabilities that these vehicles possess. But even more impressive (or troubling depending on your perspective) is the relative ease with which you can operate these vehicles in seemingly impossible terrain.
