Cj5 Jeep 1965 Willys Rock Crawler 350 Dana 60s on 2040-cars
Bluffton, South Carolina, United States
The title indicates this vehicle as a 1965, but the Buick
V6 that came with was only offered in 1966-1970, so the model is probably a
'66. The engine is new; the miles indicated on the odometer are for the engine
(currently 20 miles). This is a CJ5 purpose built for serious off-roading and
rock crawling. The vehicle has current registration in AZ and is insured, but
is not a street vehicle. The brake lights do work however. The Jeep starts and
runs great; the body is in bad condition. This is a trail rig not a show car.
There is a lot of body rust and damage, this way you won't feel bad if you
scrape it on a rock while climbing some boulders. All of the work has
been done at home not in a shop. I have spent over $18K building this rig and
untold hours of time. I have not driven it off road in over 5 years, so it is
time to let it go and at less than half of my investment. Engine: Chevy 350 crate motor 264 hp, 346 lbft. K&N tall air filter Holley Truck Avenger 670 carburetor Edelbrock Performer EPS aluminum intake Power Steering SBC Block Hugger Headers, ceramic coated Completely independent dual exhaust with

vehicle needs: Glovebox latch, it stays open. Fender trimming, the rear
tires will hit the fenders when flexed out.
A trailer is available for purchase if the buyer wishes.
It is a Carso 16’ utility/hauler with ramps stored under the deck. It has 18” high
rails, a treated wood deck, a ball hitch and a 7-round wire attachment for
lights and electric brakes. It is wide enough to fit a full size truck. The CJ5
just fits width wise (plenty for length). The trailer has current CA registration.
I will throw in the trailer for $500 if the buyer wishes. The trailer is not
available alone without purchase of the Jeep. |

Jeep Wrangler diesel likely after 2015 model refresh
Thu, 28 Feb 2013We automotive journalists aren't always the right people to ask about whether a US-spec vehicle should or should not be offered with a diesel powertrain (hint: the answer is usually "YES"). But when it comes to the iconic, off-road-ready Jeep Wrangler, we aren't the only ones who have been clamoring for an oil-burning engine behind that famous seven-slat grille. To that end, it appears there's good news on the horizon, as Jeep CEO Mike Manley recently told Ward's Auto that the "Wrangler is on the radar to get (a) diesel."
"I'm confident that the Grand Cherokee will show just how large a demand there is for diesel, and I think what that will do is reinforce the need for us to target Wrangler as a vehicle that can take a diesel," Manley told Ward's. The most rugged of Jeeps is scheduled to get an overhaul around 2015-16, and the diesel powertrain will likely be introduced around that time.
This year alone, Chrysler will be adding a diesel engine to the Grand Cherokee SUV, as well as the Ram 1500 pickup and Promaster utility van.
Dirt Every Day tries to find the best 4x4 for under $4k
Mon, 25 Aug 2014If you want to build a cheap truck that can still do dirty deeds off the beaten path, it's best to start with solid axles and a solid V8 engine. That sums up the lessons learned after watching the 2014 Cheap Truck Challenge from the Dirt Every Day video crew, who took to the deserts and surrounding areas near Reno, NV, in an attempt to find the best 4x4 for under $4,000. Fortunately for us, the whole sordid journey was captured on video.
This isn't the first time the boys from DED filmed a Cheap Truck Challenge, and this year's festivities pitted together a 1993 Chevy S10 pickup, a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee and a 1975 International truck in a series of challenges ranging from donuts to drag races, with plenty of hill-climbing and rock-crawling action in between. We don't want to spoil all the fun, but suffice it to say one competitor was found to be lacking while the other two performed (mostly) well. See for yourself in the video above.
2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4X4
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Ice skates are spectacular on frozen water, yet they are dreadful everyday footwear. I consider the Jeep Wrangler equally as specialized.
I recently spent a week with a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4X4. Introduced for the 2007 model year, the Wrangler Unlimited is a standard JK two-door with 20.6 inches added to its wheelbase and two additional doors bolted to its passenger compartment. While Jeep offers the Unlimited in seven different trim levels, the desirable Rubicon is the most capable when the pavement ends, as it boasts a slew of hardcore off-road tools including front and rear electronic locking differentials and a front sway bar that can be disengaged at the touch of a button for improved articulation. My I-Look-Like-A-Traffic-Cone test model started with a base price of $34,095 (plus $995 destination). Options including a five-speed automatic transmission, Uconnect, tow package and a premium soft top, drove the bottom line up to $38,630.
