This 1979 Jeep CJ5 is a weekly to sometimes daily driver for me for the last year. Mileage is unknown - has a newer speedometer that was installed prior to my purchase but speed and odometer work but are off. Has an aftermarket tach attached to the steering column. The engine is the inline six cylinder and it has run great the whole time I have had it. A little oil seepage from pan but nothing serious that I can see. Previous owner and myself have used synthetic oil. What I have added to it so far is a new battery, new gear box and high pressure power steering line and new blower. Noticed last oil change that it needs new outer tie rod ends which I priced at $14.00 a piece. Does not have a glove box or radio. Pictured are the two cosmetic problems in the lower front panels located behind the front wheels. The top is a Best Top and it is in fair to good condition except for the side rear zip in windows which are missing. Also, the velcro needs to be replaced on the drivers side flap which I have pictured. Has a v shaped tear on the top of the roll bar cover. Jeep comes with a Haynes repair manual. The Jeep is sold as is with no warranty. Buyer is responsible for pick up/shipping costs. Please understand this is a 34 year old unrestored vehicle. It is a perfect vehicle to just get in and drive or a great base for restoration which I have no desire to do. I have a low end reserve so please look at KBB or NADA for approximate value. Thank you for looking.

Chrysler taking big risk snubbing NHTSA
Wed, 05 Jun 2013Maker Insists Feds Overstate Risk Of Fires With Grand Cherokee, Liberty Models
It's not often that recall stories make it above the fold, in that old newspaper parlance, but when one shows up as the lead story on the network evening news programs, you know it's something big.
And so it is with Chrysler snubbing its nose at a request by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to recall 2.7 million Jeeps the feds insist are at risk of potentially catastrophic fuel tank fires in a rear-end collision.
Jeepster name may be used for Fiat-based baby Jeep
Tue, 17 Dec 2013In 1948, Willys-Overland, the forbearers of Jeep, built a vehicle called the Jeepster. It was a funky little thing, designed as a mix of the more rugged Jeeps that came before with what was then a modern car, which arguably makes it the world's first crossover. The name was later revived from 1966 to 1972, which means for Jeep enthusiasts, it has some history.
Now, the modern Jeep brand may revive the Jeepster name for a new product, likely based on Fiat bones, that will slot in at the bottom of the brand's range underneath the soon-to-depart Compass and Patriot. The report comes from Australia's Drive, which cites a dealer source that has seen the vehicle.
That same dealer confirmed there is a link between the Jeepster and the rumored Fiat 500X, and that the former will be available in both front and all-wheel-drive variants. The source also claims both gas and diesel engines will be available, although as this is an Aussie site, we shouldn't take that to mean we'll get a diesel Jeepster in the US.
2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Choose Your Own Adventure... But Choose Wisely
Jeep has got you covered. We can say this without even having to know what it is you want, because there's hardly an option or configuration that you won't find in the 2014 Grand Cherokee. There are three different engines, three different four-wheel-drive systems (plus rear-wheel drive), four different trim levels - not counting SRT - two different suspension setups and five different settings for various off-road terrain conditions. If you happen to check the box for Quadra-Lift, you'll also have five different ride-height settings for the driver-selectable air suspension.
As you might expect with so many customization possibilities, the way a buyer checks the options sheet can have a profound effect on the final product and its capabilities, to say nothing of its price. Nowhere is that more true than with the Grand Cherokee's choice of engines, with the brand-new 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 stealing the spotlight from the still excellent gasoline-fueled 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and 5.7-liter Hemi V8 powerplants that carry over from last year. No matter which engine you choose, though, it will be paired up with Jeep's new standard eight-speed automatic transmission from ZF. This, ladies and gentlemen, is very good news indeed.
