1988 Jeep Wrangler Yj ** Low Miles ** Sharp ** Work Or Play on 2040-cars
Mount Sterling, Kentucky, United States
|
Up for bid is my 1988 Jeep Wrangler YJ. This is one of the nicest YJ's around. I've owned it for about 3 years. I've used it here on the farm to check fences and cows, I've not found anywhere that it wouldn't go. I hate to see it go, but using it on the farm, it is going to get trashed, and it is too nice of a vehicle for that. Before I bought it, it had been through a complete, from the ground up restoration. The body (tub) was Rhino lined, inside and out. The original 4.2 carbureted engine was replaced with a newer 4.0 fuel injected engine. More reliable and more horsepower. The transmission is a 5 speed manual. The transmission and transfer case, are both tight and noise free. The jeep has been lifted 4 inches and sits on 33-12.50-15 tires and 15x10 American Racing wheels. The interior has been customized, with a polished diamond plate aluminum dash, LED digital gauges, a bass amplifier, speaker boxes, an inverter, and the seats were professionally recovered in OSU colors of orange and gray. It never had a radio in it when I bought it, and I never put one in it. The frame has been reinforced at the steering box and a steering box brace has been added. That is a weak area on a lot of Jeeps, but it has already been remedied here. It has 4 driving lights, 2, on top of a Carr lightbar, and 2 at the base of the windshield posts. It has an ARB snorkel on it, some guys add these for deep water, and other guys add them to keep the air intake up out of the dust. This Jeep has a little bit of surface rust on the frame, but I don't think it has any on the body. I've set the reserve well below, what this Jeep is worth. Thanks for looking, and bid like you want to own it..

Chrysler investing $20M in Toledo plant to support 9-speed auto production
Sun, 28 Apr 2013In 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.
Jeep Liberty under investigation for door fires
Tue, 29 Oct 2013The Jeep Liberty has already had plenty of attention for possible fires thanks to the first-gen model's fuel tank, but now the midsize Jeep is under the microscope of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for another fire-related concern. NHTSA has opened an investigation for the 2012 Liberty after receiving two reports of electrical fires in the driver's door.
According to the investigation summary, around 80,000 vehicles could potentially be affected by this problem. In both reported fires, the drivers noticed smoke and then flames from the master power window switch, and they had to pull to a stop and exit through the passenger side of the SUV. According to Autoguide, there was one injury to a motorist who suffered burned fingers while trying to open the driver's door.
Interestingly, the Dodge Nitro is not yet involved in this investigation, even though it was still around for the 2012 model year; the Nitro ended production in 2011 about a year before the final Liberty rolled off the line for the 2013 model year. Scroll down for the official NHTSA investigation summary.
Total auto recalls already on record pace in 2014
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If 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.
