  The paint and body on this CJ are in good original condition. The paint still shines up and looks presentable even though it is 36 years old! A lot of the original Renegade striping and decal work is still present and you can still see some remains of the original Levi's decals on both sides. The paint and decals have great patina and really help give the Jeep a cool look. The body is very straight and solid. It retains all of its original steel body panels and tub. The frame , body mounts, floors, rockers, etc. are all very solid and original. The tub has been professionally Rhino lined and looks great. You can even still see some of the original paint underneath the Jeep just to give you an idea of how solid it is. The top is in really nice shape and the seats/interior are good as well. The original Levi's dash pad is beautiful and the original sport steering wheel looks good too but has an incorrect horn button. Overall, this is a really sharp CJ with just the right stance and purposeful look. 
  Mechanically, the Jeep is sound.  A lot of money has been spent to make this Jeep a reliable daily driver. It has a long list of new parts and upgrades. The motor starts easily and runs perfectly. It has good power and pulls strong through all 3 gears. It doesn't smoke or run hot. The trans. Shifts perfectly too with no issues. The clutch, 4WD, brakes, suspension, etc. all operate just as they should. The tires have at least 70% of their tread remaining and the wheels are straight. The Jeep drives down the road nice and straight and was lifted the right way. It is a lot of fun to drive and will go anywhere! Again, this is a really cool original CJ that is ready to be enjoyed. These unrestored CJs are getting tougher and tougher to find. Don't miss this appreciating classic.

Jeep Cherokee joins Altitude trim line

Wed, 22 Jan 2014

Jeep fans spoke up last year by naming the Altitude trim level, and the automaker rewarded them with an assortment of cool Jeeps sporting a sinister, blacked-out appearance. Joining the ranks of Jeep models offering an Altitude trim level is the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, and this might be the best looking of the new Cherokees - including the Trailhawk.
Like the previous versions of this model, the 2014 Cherokee Altitude adds black wheels and exterior trim and molding, and it's only offered in four colors: black, silver, white and granite (shown above). You definitely have to love the look of the black accents since the Altitude raises the Cherokee's price by $2,000 to a starting MSRP of $24,995 (not including destination). Jeep says that the 2014 Cherokee Altitude is a limited-edition model, but there is no mention of any specific production figures.
Joining the new Cherokee Altitude are the updated versions of the Grand Cherokee Altitude and Wrangler Altitude with similar limited color combinations and pricier MSRPs starting at $35,290 and $31,595, respectively. These three new Altitude models will go on sale this spring joining the Compass Altitude and Patriot Altitude, which are on sale now. Scroll down for more info on the updated 2014 Jeep Altitude lineup.

2015 Jeep Renegade brings the cute

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

The jig is up, the noose is out, we finally found it: the Renegade that Jeep has made, retrieved for a bounty.
Okay, enough of that. Meet the Renegade - Jeep's cute little compact crossover that makes its official debut here at the Geneva Motor Show. We recently brought you a massive Deep Dive into what makes the Renegade tick, and we're now getting our first live look at the tiny Jeep, live from its coming out party in Switzerland.
With the exception of associate editor Jonathon Ramsey, who doesn't know what he's talking about, we at Autoblog are kind of smitten with the little Jeep - it's a really unique package, featuring details that really make it kind of special (notice that jerry can pattern in the taillights, for example). Jeep will offer the Renegade with either a 1.4-liter turbo-four (from the Fiat 500L) or a 2.4-liter naturally aspirated four (from the Dodge Dart), with either a six-speed manual transmission or a nine-speed automatic. There will even be a Trailhawk version with four-wheel drive - properly trail-rated, to boot. The Renegade also features a nifty new My Sky removable roof panel system, giving this little cutie sort of a baby Wrangler feel.

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.
