No Reserve- highest bid gets it!  This is a very good CJ5 that I use strictly for plowing.  It has a rebuilt F-134 4-cylinder engine, although I have no idea when it was rebuilt or how many miles or hours are on it.  It runs very strong, but does burn some oil.  It starts every time and runs very well.  It has a rebuilt carburetor, new fuel pump, new battery, new plugs, new wires, new cap, new coil, and has been converted to electronic ignition.  The lights work, and so does the heater… although no top or doors are included.  I only used it for plowing, and have never driven it on the road.  It would need some work to be road worthy, so plan on trailering it home.  The brakes could use some attention, and  the transmission may have a syncro out or something because it only goes into first and reverse gears.  I haven’t looked into it because I didn’t need 2nd or 3rd gears anyway.  I do have another transmission that will go with the Jeep, however I know nothing about the condition of it.  The 4-wheel drive works and I have brand new Mile Marker hubs for it, only one set is installed.  The other lockout on it is the original Warn and still works just fine.  The tires are newer Bridgestone Blizzak’s and show virtually no wear.  The plow is a Western 6’-6” I believe, and has the cylinders for angling it however they are not hooked up.  You have to manually angle the plow right now, but they could be made to work.  I have some hardware for that.  The up and down cylinder works as it should.  The body is fiberglass, except for the steel hood and windshield frame.   The CJ is pretty in its own way, and gets a lot of attention from the plow guys with newer trucks.   Please ask any questions before bidding.  If you’re local, I encourage you to come take a look at it.  It’s a plow vehicle and it would need “A LOT” of work to restore it.  Clear Michigan title in my name.

This SEMA special drag race is absurdly awesome

Fri, Dec 5 2014

The SEMA Show came and went last month, and it showed us a ton of heavily modded goodies to dream about during the long, cold winter. The Motor Trend Channel on YouTube is keeping the party rolling a little longer, though, with a drag race inspired by the aftermarket event. All of the hosts were supposed to borrow a vehicle from the show for the big race, but only two of them actually cajoled companies into lending their wares. Still, the result includes four very cool and extremely different examples of the breadth of the automotive hobby. First up, there's a 1955 Chevrolet with a 535-cubic-inch (8.8-liter) Hemi V8 stuffed under the hood. Appropriately, it's dubbed the Blasphemi, and with skinny tires up front, fat rubber in the rear and a stripped interior, this this is made to go very fast in a straight line. Next, there's a stock Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat boasting 707 horsepower. Plus, host Jessi Lang has her dog riding shotgun for the race. A Chevy Sonic RS with some body mods, downpipe and intake is also competing. Finally, the most bizarre of the quartet is a custom 1958 Jeep Forward Control with a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and treads to replace the wheels. Obviously, the Blasphemi and Hellcat are the only two that really have a chance of winning, but check out the video to see which one crosses the finish line first.

Germany threatens to ban FCA vehicles over diesel emissions dispute

Tue, May 24 2016

Germany is threatening to ban sales of FCA products over diesel emissions. According to the newspaper Bild Am Sonntag, Germany's Federal Motor Transport Authority found evidence of a so-called defeat device that shuts down certain emissions controls after running for 22 minutes. A standard diesel emissions test in the European Union reportedly takes 20 minutes to complete. FCA denies the allegations. "We believe all our vehicles respect EU emissions standards and we believe Italian regulators are the competent authority to evaluate this," the company said in a statement. The latter part of that statement drew ire from German authorities, especially after FCA declined to meet with German transport minister Alexander Dobrindt to discuss the issue. Graziano Delrio, the Italian Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, vowed to work with German authorities on behalf of FCA. According to EU law, FCA is required to homologate its vehicles in Italy because that's where its regional operations are based. When will the diesel-scented soap opera end? We wish we knew, but our Magic 8 Ball is covered in soot.

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.
