Here's a very solid classic that was owned and maintained by an aircraft mechanic that will make a great classic cruiser. One of the most desirable off road vehicles this Korean and Vietnam War era 3/4 ton 4x4 will power through anything you can throw at it. These can carry 1.5 tons and pull and additional 1.5 ton trailer. Geared with 5.89 differentials and hi-low divorced transfer case mated to 4-speed synchromesh transmission this truck is all about getting the job done. It's factory built with 42" fording capabilities meaning that in stock trim you can cross a 42" deep river. Add the optional deep fording package and it's rated at 90" deep water. Be sure to take off the removable hard top and fold down the windshield first.
The electrical system is international military grade 24V electrical sealed against water using aircraft Douglas wiring and connectors. It has the original engine that runs great and holds 45 psi oil pressure. All the gauges work and oil, water temp and generator all read in specification.
I rebuilt the carburetor with a military surplus full kit, tested the electrical and replaced the voltage regulator, rebuilt the master cylinder, replaced the spark plugs, points, condenser, changed the oil and added zinc protectant and drained and cleaned the fuel tank. This truck runs, drives and stops. Everything works except missing speedo cable.
To build a jeep or FJ40 to this capability would cost over $100,000 and this is way cooler!

2013 Dodge Challenger V6 recalled for fire risk, owners asked not to drive
Sun, 17 Mar 2013Chrysler has issued a recall for the V6 version of the 2013 Dodge Challenger (as pictured above in 2012MY) over the possibility of a wiring harness that could short circuit and lead to a fire. Owners of these V6 Challengers built from November 2012 through January 2013 are being urged to contact dealers immediately and, in the meantime, not to drive their cars or park in or near any buildings.
Chrysler estimates around 2,500 potentially affected Challengers are in owners' hands, while another 1,900 are still sitting on dealer lots. The total number of recalled vehicles is 4,459.
So far, Chrysler says that seven fires have been reported - none resulting in injuries. The company is instructing vehicle owners to contact their dealer to find out if their vehicle is included in the recall, but owners can also find the build date information of their vehicle by checking the label in the driver's door jamb.
Chrysler recalling 2009-2010 Ram 1500, Dodge Dakota pickups over axle pinion nut
Mon, 08 Oct 2012Chrysler is issuing a recall for the 2009 and 2010 Ram 1500 and Dodge Dakota pickup trucks due to improper installation of the rear axle pinion nut. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a total of 44,300 trucks are affected by the recall, and there have been 12 confirmed incidents including one crash.
The issue on both trucks is that the pinion nut is loosening on some trucks due to a lack of thread adhesive, and it is causing the rear axle to lock up resulting in loss of vehicle control. NHTSA's recall notice says that eight incidents occurred at speeds over 35 miles per hour and most also exhibited driveshaft failures as well since the loss of the pinion nut would cause the gear to separate from the driveshaft. In one complaint, the driveshaft separated from the rear axle and punctured the gas tank.
Chrysler will begin sending out recall notices to affected owners in November, but scroll down to see the official NHTSA notice.
Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango to lose color options temporarily
Wed, 19 Nov 2014In the market for a Jeep Grand Cherokee or Dodge Durango? Well, if you fancy a more expressive color for your new SUV, you'd better get your order in, or plan on waiting until well into 2015.
The SUVs will be limited to just four monochromatic shades - black, white, silver and gray - until at least February, thanks to an upgrade to the paint shop at the two vehicles' Jefferson North factory. For the Grand Cherokee, that means it's losing more than half its color palette while the Durango is dropping two-thirds of its color catalog.
The loss of colors is inconvenient, but the upgrade will have a slightly bigger effect on the overall supply of SUVs, as Chrysler will need to end its relentless build pace at the factory for a three-week shutdown starting on December 22. The good news for fans of the SUVs is that once the work is completed, we should see a gradual expansion of the color palettes for both the Durango and Grand Cherokee, beyond even what's offered now.
