I am offering up for sale one of the nicest Jeeps I have ever owned.

CONDITION:

This Jeep runs and drives like a dream.  Just turn the key and it immediately comes alive.  The original owner bought this Jeep just before retirement.  He claimed that it never saw a winter being that they were snowbirds (had one house in Idaho and one in Arizona).  The mileage of 75,500 are original miles and the original owner stated that half of those miles were towed miles.  Just drive this Jeep and see its condition and you will know that he was telling the truth.  There is absolutely NO RUST on this Jeep.  It has always been in the dry climates of Idaho and Arizona.  It is extremely rare to find a Jeep of this age and in its original condition with No Rust.  As you can tell by the pictures, it is nearly flawless.  The Laredo stickers are in great shape and there are a few small light surface scratches and no dents.  You will have a hard time finding one this nice and in this great of condition.

The only thing that this Jeep is missing is the original Air Conditioning.  The original owner had it removed because he did not believe air conditioning should have come in a Jeep in the first place.  If the Jeep doesn't sell, I am going to keep it and put in an aftermarket Vintage Air system.  (Vintage Air will be more reliable than trying to find the original compressor anyway).  As you can see, the mounts for the air conditioning compressor are still attached to the engine block, so the addition of the compressor would be simple.  I drive this Jeep daily and it is a blast to be in.  It gets looks all the time.  The Laredo package on this CJ5 doesn't end with the decals, it also has the upgraded steering wheel, custom leather seats and leather grab bar, ash tray on the dash, badging, clock, etc.  All the gauges work as they should and the last trip I took which was about 150 miles, I got about 16 miles to the gallon at @ 60-65 mph.  (With the 4 speed, I could have traveled faster.  RPM Gauge was reading just under 2,000 RPM's at 65 mph).

The Four Wheel Drive works as it should and it as well as the transmission shifts perfect, just like new.  In the time that I have owned this Jeep, it has been very reliable and I would not have a problem driving this across the country (as long as the weather is nice).  As are most CJ5's, it can be a little squirrely with the Power Steering, however, I got used to it really quick and as mentioned above, I have traveled long distances with it at a fast pace.

FEATURES: 

Jeep comes with the original 1981 Jeep Owners Manual, soft top with full soft doors, soft half doors, good tire life left on the All-Terrain BFGoodrich Tires, Original Factory Wheels, the original owner owned this Jeep until this year.  I admit, I got a great deal on it and if I do not sell it, I will keep it.  It is worth every penny and more of my Buy It Now price.  The lucky new owner of this Jeep will be in Heaven and be the envy of many.  That is how great this Jeep is.  The Jeep has not been lifted.  When I bought it, I had a local spring shop re-arch the front springs so that the Jeep would sit level.  The springs are still in the stock original location.  The Jeep also has the stock Posi-Trac in the Rear.  It does not leak any fluids what-so-ever.  Oil changes were done regularly with 10-30 Valvoline and K&N Oil Filters.

I am sure that I am missing something, so if you have any questions or comments, just send them my way and I will answer them.  I can also take more pics if you want to see something specific that are not in the pics in the ad.  As you can see by my feedback, I am very honest and truthful in describing what I am selling.  This ad is no exception.  You will not be disappointed with this Jeep.

Shipping is at the owners expense, however, I will do what I can to help load the Jeep.  Good Luck.  Thanks for looking at my auction.  You can call or text me at 2O8.869.9927.  I am in Idaho.

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).

Chrysler investing $20M in Toledo plant to support 9-speed auto production

Sun, 28 Apr 2013

In 2011, Chrysler announced a $72-million investment in its Toledo Machining Plant to modernize production of the eight- and nine-speed torque-converters for automatic transmissions made there. That upgrade work won't be finished until Q3 of this year, but Chrysler has already announced a further $19.6-million investment to increase production capacity for the nine-speeders.
The extra units will be necessary because the nine-speed transmission they'll be mated to is going into three popular models: it will debut on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, then go into the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart. The company predicted that this year alone it would sell 200,000 units equipped with the nine-speed tranny, and it is spending some $374 million in addition to the investment in Toledo to upgrade production capacity for it.
The work attached to this new investment won't begin until Q3 of 2014, and it will be finished by the end of that year. There's a press release below with all the details.

2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4X4

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Ice 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.
