I just bought a 2004 rubicon, not sure if that was the best idea, to replace this solid jeep. If this cj doesn't sell, I will keep it as I don't need to sell it, just offsetting the cost of the newer one. 
It has 118,000 miles, and engine was rebuilt approximately 1,000 miles ago, and has all the original functioning emission equipment.  Jeep originally came from California, and here In colorado the rest of its life. Has the original rare color of Montana blue. No bondo- no new paint- no diamond plate to cover up anything. Just a nice solid jeep!!! Has 2 small rust bubbles areas on both sides of front lower fenders. Floors and body mounts really nice, and hard to find like this. Has the t-177 4 speed, and the great Dana 300 transfer case. Brand new bestop top, new heater core, and transfer case mount. Seats are also new.. No rear seat. Tires are big 31x10.50x15 mud terrain t/a. 3:54 gears, runs down the highway at 65-75 easy, no shakes, pulls or wobbles. The heater and defrost now work pretty good. Has a tow bar for front for very easy pulling...the only things not working is the 4wd light and high beam light on the dash. I may have knocked off a wire, as it was working. The stereo also is not hooked up. Great oil pressure on a manual gauge, as charging also works well. Has the patina look that some people are paying for that look now!!! I eventually wanted to reaping and re decal it, but the more I look at it, the more I like it left alone. 
A great driver, or second car, or just for the hills. Has power steering, with a rare tilt wheel and disc brakes. Lock out hubs. Look at some of the other jeeps, diamond plate, primer, or painted over the bondo. This is a rare dry jeep. Can even see the original primer coming through the rear and on the roll bar... 
I have a clear colorado title In my name and is also insured that way...
It is also listed locally and possibly sell that way. 
I will include a buy it now, but once the Low reserve is met, the buy it now will go away. 
Look at some of the others with 1 or 2 line descriptions, check my feedback. The reserve is UNDER $3,000.00!!!


    On May-29-14 at 18:23:14 PDT, seller added the following information:

    There is a slight crease in the hood as shown, from the hood being opened to hit the windshield.. Seems like a common thing, forgot to mention that.

    Radical 2016 Jeep Wrangler suggested by job listings?

    Fri, 31 May 2013

    With most inside the industry expecting the next-generation Jeep Wrangler to arrive for the 2016 model year, it makes sense that the automaker would be looking for some choice candidates to to fill program openings as the off-roader goes through its development. A recent ad on Chryslercareers.com suggests to some that the lightweight Wrangler Stitch Concept, revealed just two months ago and shown above, provides some clues about the off-road icon's next iteration.
    According to Automotive News, the job descriptions - which don't name the model specifically - hint that the next-generation Wrangler will benefit from a serious diet. The ads appear to seek those familiar with advanced high-strength steels, hinting that lightweight aluminum body panels may appear on the 4x4. In addition, there are suggestions that Jeep may fit the Wrangler replacement with air suspension, as seen on the Ram and Grand Cherokee, to retain ample off-road clearance yet lower that chassis to improve aerodynamics at highway speeds. The job postings reportedly also lend credence to the idea of a diesel Wrangler.
    It seems every bit of the next-generation Wrangler is up for review, as it will be the first time this iconic model is redesigned under Fiat ownership. Questions remain whether or not the Jeep will retain its clip-down hood, easy-to-remove door pins and folding front windshield - loyalists expect them, but fuel economy and safety standards may crimp their cases for survival.

    Jeep gunning for 1M sales this year

    Thu, 16 Jan 2014

    Jeep CEO Mike Manley would rather soft-pedal the seven-figure prognostication for now, but Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne won't have it, proclaiming in an interview that Jeep will sell one million units worldwide this year. Manley has called that come-hither number "a stretch," the history of recent gains perhaps reason for his caution: in 2011 the brand sold 568,317 units, followed by the record-breaking tally of 701,626, then another record in 2013 with 731,565 units moved.
    That kind of gap means everything will need to go magically for Jeep to record a 37-percent increase this year - amazing Cherokee sales, a brilliant launch for the little Jeep arriving in Europe later this year and a heavy wave to raise sales in US, European and Chinese markets. Manley is confident about the prospects in 2015, though, with the Cherokee in full stride, the Fiat-based Jeep on its way to the US and expanded global production. It's not as though Marchionne's prediction for Jeep's 2014 sales is unexpected, since he first made it last year. But even if the number ends up a little short for 2014, there's no doubt it will be impressive.

    Jeep idles second shift it hired a month ago for 2014 Cherokee

    Tue, 24 Sep 2013

    In an unusual move, Chrysler is idling its recently hired second shift of 2014 Jeep Cherokee builders because, Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson said in a statement, it already has built the "critical number of vehicles we need to stock dealerships once containment is released," Automotive News reports.
    After the "critical" 9,430 Cherokees were built, the layoff was enacted so as not to strain the automaker's logistics partners before the Cherokee is actually released. Chrysler says the temporary layoff will last about two weeks, with 500 workers out of work and another 600 reassigned at the Toledo Assembly Complex where the sports utility vehicle was being built. The second-shift workers were hired on August 19.
    Chrysler previously insisted that it would release the Cherokee to dealerships by the end of the third quarter, and it initially planned to start selling the SUVs in mid-August. Apparently the Cherokee needed a software fix before hitting showrooms, which is how Chrysler explains why the release schedule is out of whack. We're thinking that this software fix addresses the "powertrain calibration" issue that delayed the first media test drives of the model. According to the Toledo Blade, Chrysler has admitted it is doing "extended quality validation testing" but refused to provide more information.
