Please save this CJ5 from LA!


Although I do drive the CJ a few times per week, it just isn't being used for what it's made for or capable of. My plan was to buy a few jet-skis to tow behind it. That didn't happen. So, I'd rather get this Jeep into the hands of someone who will use it.

Repairs/Upgrades:
-Last week I installed new BF Goodrich A/T 31" tires. The nipples are still attached.
-Alternator
-Starter
-fluids changed
-Speedometer/fuel/temp (although I don't know how to connect it so I just bolted in place bc the old one had yellowed and cracked)
-Aftermarket temp and oil pressure gauges (These were easier to connect)
-Bumper/hitch combo installed
-Valve job
-New points
-Timing was done last week
-Top end was rebuilt last summer due to a small leak
-Exhaust pipe
-Plugs/wires last summer
-Seat frames fabricated and bolted to floor (this is way stronger than the stock setup + it allowed me to add a center locking console)
-Seat belts (yes I had them added bc it didn't have any)
-Emergency brake (I also had this added)
-Brakes and master cylinder we installed last summer
-Heater fan fixed (still seams week, but I haven't had any use for it anyway)

It has what seems to be a 1-2" body lift, but nothing major. In fact, I get compliments bc it isn't obnoxiously lifted like every other CJ. It looks stock with a stout, tough, military feel.

The BEST part for CA residents is that bc it's a 1975- there is no smog check needed. You can have just as much fun as I have setting off car alarms.

License plates and tags are up to date and the vehicle is fully insured.

I'm considering a Lotus Evora. If anyone would consider this jeep a partial trade towards one we could talk cash after that.

I really appreciate your time in reading this posting. If this Jeep is not for you, please pass it along to someone whom it may be a better fit.


Thank you!

25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango SUVs recalled over brake feel

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

Chrysler has announced that it is recalling over 25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from several markets over concerns about brake feel under hard braking. The affected models are from the 2012 and 2013 model years, although the actual dates of production aren't available. 18,700 are in the US, while 825 are in Canada, 530 are in Mexico and a further 5,200 outside of North America.
According to a statement, Chrysler was informed of the issue by a component supplier for the Ready Alert Braking system, which primes the brakes in anticipation of an emergency stop. A component in the system was restricting the flow of brake fluid too much.
As Chrysler is quick to point out, the way the brakes functioned was in compliance with regulations and there are no reported cases of drivers losing braking power. Instead, the issue rests with what Chrysler calls a pedal feel that "was not consistent with customer expectations." So it would seem Chrysler is being proactive and fixing a problem not because there's a legal issue at work, but simply because it doesn't feel the way the manufacturer wants it to. Well done.

SEMA crowns Mustang, FR-S as this year's hottest cars in the building

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

After wrapping up the first day of the 2012 SEMA Show, organizers handed out awards for some of the trendiest vehicles on display. Since the whole point of SEMA is to show off new products available in the aftermarket world for use in cars, trucks and SUVs, each year, the show distinguishes the most popular vehicle in various segments. Not surprisingly, this year's Hottest Car and Hottest Sport Compact are the Ford Mustang and Scion FR-S, respectively, while the Ford F-Series brought home the Hottest Truck and the Jeep Wrangler was named the Hottest 4x4-SUV.
More than 2,000 companies are at this year's show, and the display booths represents a "vote" for each car to determing the trendiest vehicles in each of the four categories. It isn't clear if these awards also take cars brought by OEMs into account, but the Mustang and FR-S were definitely well represented by both OEM and aftermarket show versions.
As usual, the OEMs showed up in force at the this year's SEMA Show exhibiting a variety of cars ranging from production-intent cars like the beastly Ford Mustang Cobra Jet to much flashier rides like Scion's Carbon Stealth FR-S.

Jeep follows up Super Bowl spot with call to help the USO

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Once again, Chrysler had one of the most talked about Super Bowl commercials with its two-minute Whole Again Jeep spot, which was used to highlight its Operation SAFE Return program for US military personnel returning home from active duty. As part of this campaign, Jeep announced today that it will be donating up to $300,000 to the United Services Organizations (USO), and you can help.
Simply tweet using the #joinOSR hashtag on Twitter, visit the Yahoo! homepage or go to the Jeep Operation SAFE Return website, and Jeep will donate $1 to a fund that provides returning troops things like employment assistance and incentives to buy new vehicles. Jeep is also donating to this charity to the tune of $250 for each Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited (including the Freedom Edition model) and Jeep Patriot Freedom Edition model sold.
