 I will be listing this Jeep 1 time.  If It does not sell, I will keep it and work on it over the winter.  Like most Jeeps, this one needs some minor things to be 100%  I just don't have time for the Jeep right now.  I own 7 Jeeps.

Every Jeep has a story and so does this one.  The person that re-built the Jeep was in NY.  He sold it to a guy in DE.  The Jeep had a Chevy 406 small block with over 500hp.  Way too much for a tall CJ5.  That person took the 406 out and sold it to me with a Chevy 305 V8.

I suggest you look at the Jeep if you are serious and close enough by.  It's garage kept in Coopersburg PA 18036. Clear title in my name.

Jeep can be shipped.  YOU MAKE ALL THE ARRANGEMENTS.  There will be a $300 fee on top for shipping.  The shipper normally comes on a week day and I need to take off work.  Shipper cannot make it to my rural house, so I have to pay someone to rollback it to a shopping center.  Jeep is not insured, registered, or inspected.  It will pass, except I don't think the horn is hooked up. 

Now for the Jeep:

Had a brand new frame, no rust.  Think it's by Advance Frame Works, over 2k

Unknown make fiberglass body and front end.  Nice paint, except drivers fender needs repaint.

Nice Best top soft top and soft doors.

Currie built Shaved Ford 9 inch front rear, Detroit Locker, 3.73 gears

Currie built Hi Pinion Dana 60, disk brakes, e brake, Detroit Locker, 3.73 gears  These rears over 9k for the pair.  They look brand new yet.

Custom front shaft, CV rear shaft

Has stainless hinges and mirrors

Custom front bumper with 11k Quadratec Winch and 8 inch Hella lights

Custom rear bumper with tire carrier.  I have a brand new 37in MTR for it, but no rim.  A rim is $70.  Bumpers and winch/lights $1500

Oversize 25 gallon fuel tank, custom skid, reverse lights, LED rock lights, sunken rear tail lights, Rocker Gaurds

Vanco power brake system, stops awesome with 4 wheel disc, over $500

Aluminum radiator with electric fan, over $700

GM SM465 granny 4 speed trans with adapter to Dana 300 twin sticked, 1k for that setup with adapter

New flywheel, Center Force clutch, hedders, nice custom Flow Master exhaust system out the rear

Chevy 305.  I don't know much about the motor.  Motor runs good, has new 327/350hp cam, new oil pan, new holley 600, HEI distributor.  Motor actually surprised me with the power, new plugs, MSD wire, cap and rotor.  The oil pan is dry and so is the rear main seal.  The power steering pump has a leak at the rear connection and I think the valve cover has a leak.

Interior has a custom dash, but is missing 2 gauges.  Wires are there for the gauges.  Needs  Volt and temp gauge.  Oil pressure is 60 - 80lbs when running.

PAINLESS wiring harness

Tilt wheel, tuffy steel center console with a CD player and amp.  Speakers in dash and on the floor. 

Seat covers are a little faded, there are harnesses for seatbelts.  Has a rear seat

Has a full roll cage tied into the frame.  The spreader bars are too far in and right over your head.  Bars need to be mover toward the outside.

Rims are brand new steel $300

Tires are Goodyear MTR.  The 4 on the Jeep all have over 1/2 tread and they are radial 37 x 12.5 x 17  spare is Brand New

Has a AGR steering box and borgenson steering shaft $500

Dual shocks up front, dual stabilizers

Has working heater

I'm sure there is more I'm missing.

Needs rollbar spreaders moved, some gauges in dash, stereo wires hooked up. Needs battery

The AGR box is a quick ratio.  I can sit at idle and turn the steering wheel with my pinky and turn the 37's.  This makes for some touching steering while going down the road.  I would put a stock box in and sell that AGR.  I can drive it, I've had over 20 Jeeps.  I had a computer alignment and it's right on.

Fix the one or two small leaks.  Oil pan and rear main is good, don't think intake is leaking.

Original owner lifted the Jeep with spring under springs.  The pack consists of 12 leafs.  Also has about 1 1/2inch body lift.  I would take some springs out of the pack or just buy 4 new BDS springs and drop it down a little. 

That's an honest description of this Jeep.  I have 100 percent feedback.

The frame and rears are less then the starting bid.  Like I said, I will keep it if it doesn't sell and work on it over the winter. 

I do have a trailer.  I can deliver the Jeep, with full payment, up to 150 miles for $2 a loaded mile.  Can store, with full payment for up to 2 weeks.

Chrysler Recalls Jeep SUVs For Ignition Switches

Wed, Jul 23 2014

The ignition switch defects that engulfed General Motors are now a rapidly growing problem at Chrysler. Chrysler said Tuesday it is recalling up to 792,300 older Jeep SUVs worldwide because the ignition switches could fall out of the "run" position, shutting off the engine and disabling air bags as well as power-assisted steering and braking. That's the same problem that has forced GM to recall more than 15 million cars over the last six months. Chrysler's recall covers 2005-2007 Grand Cherokees and 2006-2007 Commanders. The company said it is not sure exactly how many will be recalled, but said it will notify customers by mid-September. Chrysler said an outside force such as a driver's knee can knock switches out of the "run" position. Engineers are working on a fix. The Auburn Hills, Michigan-based automaker, now part of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV, said it knows of no related injuries and only one accident. But it said owners should keep clearance between their knees and keys until repairs are made. Chrysler has now recalled more than 1.7 million vehicles for ignition-switch problems. In June, the company added 696,000 minivans and SUVs to a 2011 recall to fix faulty ignition switches. Those recalls covered Dodge Journey SUVs and Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Caravan and Volkswagen Routan minivans - which Chrysler made for the German automaker - from the 2007 to 2010 model years. Tuesday's recall is the outgrowth of two investigations opened by U.S. safety regulators last month as part of a broader probe into ignition-switch and air-bag problems across the auto industry. The agency wouldn't say Tuesday whether its investigation could lead to recalls at other automakers. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in June that it was investigating Jeep Commanders and Grand Cherokees after getting 32 complaints that a driver's knee can hit the key fob or key chain, causing the ignition switch to move out of position. The federal investigation is still open. The agency said Tuesday that it is requesting additional information from Chrysler to ensure that its repairs will be effective. The investigations and recalls come after GM bungled an ignition-switch recall of older small cars. GM acknowledged that it knew of the ignition problem for more than a decade but failed to recall the cars until earlier this year, when it recalled 2.6 million small cars such as the Chevrolet Cobalt.

Car Club USA: Louisiana Mudfest

Tue, Jun 16 2015

There's nothing quite like mudding. Big tires, huge power, and crazy-wild gearheads that like to throw down on a mud pit almost as much as a thirty rack of Coors. In the latest, and some might argue greatest yet episode of Car Club USA, we head to Louisiana to throw some dirt at Mudfest. As Louisiana's one and only Mouth of the South puts it, "If you don't mud ride... go to Texas I guess." Joining The Mouth and friendly rivals The Most Hated Mud Sluts, we dive in. Beyond the obvious V8 blasting and tractor-tire spinning, those who know best describe Mudfest as, "Good cooking, good friends, good fun, and a lot of partying." It's a motorsport spectacle unlike any you're likely to find up North or out West, though no less impressive to behold. Follow along with the fun, the impromptu drag racing, the trash talking, and the mechanical madness. And find out why, at Mudfest, "if we don't tear it up, we ain't done it right." Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures.
