I have owned this Jeep for about 15 years now. I do not really want to sell it but my lifestyle has changed and I need to move on to something more practical. First off while the Jeep is not 100% rust free, but it has very little rust, and it is only on the rear of the tub near the lower corners of the tailgate. I replaced the front fenders and windshield frame about 5 years ago and did paint the the original color but of course they do not match the tub as it has faded over the years. The original doors simply hung on the cowl and latched at the rear but were unsupported and rattled terribly, so I put doors off a YJ on it about the same time. The Jeep was originally a 304 v8, 3 speed. The engine started smoking and I decided it was time to rebuild the motor. Instead, I bought an AMC 401 to rebuild and install since it was an easy swap. It is bored .030 over, with forged pistons,and a balanced crankshaft. DUI HEI distributor and wires. We installed a be Cool high volume waterpump. It has an Edelbrock Victor Jr aluminum intake with and Edelbrock 4BBl Carb. Doug Thorley Headers, and dual Flow Master mufflers with tailpaipes to the rear. This combination has less than 5,000 miles on it. I then put in a new Centerforce clutch, and swapped in a T-18 transmission. The transmission has a granny low and is in stock configuration. I had a shop in town build a full width Dana 44 for the rear. It has drum brakes, an ARB locker and 4:56 gear ratio. It is hung on BDS 4" over lift springs with military wraps and greasable bushings. At the same time they narrowed a Dana 44 for the front. It has oversize disk brakes, an ARB locker and 4:56 gear ratio as well. It too is hung on BDS 4" over lift springs with military wraps and greasable bushings. They also moved all the steering componentry up over axle centerline for additional ground clearance. Also mounted the ARB compressor under the hood and switches under the dash. The interior has Best Top cloth bucket seats with headrests up front, along with a Best Top center console, and a Best Top fold and tumble rear seat. Factory guages with tach all work as they should. I put a Sony detachable face Stereo in the dash but have never wired it. I'd rather listen to the motor.... I mounted a family style rollbar in the Jeep, but have not updated the seat belts to the correct ones yet. The tires are 35x12.50x15 BFG Mud Terrains with about 3,000 miles on them. They are mounted on Centerline Convo HT Aluminum wheels. This tire/gear ratio combination makes the Jeep a blast to drive around town, and it easily goes down the highway at 60 or 65 miles an hour. It has factory power steering and power brakes although we did upgrade the master cylinder to a larger unit when we did the axles. Jeep also has factory hard top with factory bronze tinted windows, although they look gold to me. The reason I am selling it is that I have never had the Jeep four wheeling since we did all this work to it. I hate to admit it, but I just do not have the time to use it. Transportation is the buyers responsibility, but I will be happy to help load it for delivery after the vehicle is paid for. It sells only to the lower 48 states. Should you want more info about it please give me a call @ 719.440.4246 in the evenings, my name is Scott.

2023 New York Auto Show Editors' Picks
Fri, Apr 7 2023The New York Auto Show has typically marked the end of the auto show season. That's arguable now that shows have been shuffling around, but if we stick with it, that means that show season wrapped up with a modest bang. While the number of reveals were a bit modest, some of them were some seriously big deals for the car industry. Some of them were also literally big. And these are the reveals that were our favorites. They range from updated classics to the latest EVs. Read on to see what topped the list. 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe View 22 Photos 5. 2024 Jeep Wrangler The 2024 Wrangler is impressive as mid-cycle updates go. It's both a reflection of the longevity of the Wrangler's product cycles (we get a redesign once a decade, almost on the dot) and the Ford Bronco toppling Jeep's once firm monopoly on soft-top off-roaders. The cheaper 4xe entry is a welcome addition, and the ongoing one-upmanship between Ford and Jeep will continue to serve enthusiasts who want the best of the best. This is why competition matters, folks. — Associate Editor Byron Hurd Genesis GV80 Coupe Concept View 9 Photos 3. (Tie) Genesis GV80 Coupe Concept Even though it was far from the most important vehicle at the show, the Genesis GV80 Coupe Concept weirdly stole NY for me. IÂ’ve been largely unimpressed or neutral on most SUV coupes, but now thereÂ’s finally one that I love. Genesis design in general has been on fire lately, and the fact that it can turn out a crossover coupe that actually looks good is more evidence of its excellence. The stunning interior with those orange-backed seats and sporty-looking orange accents everywhere probably wonÂ’t make it into production, but IÂ’d love to see Genesis really amp up the performance angle with the coupe version of the GV80. Oh, and please offer the conceptÂ’s orange paint in the production carÂ’s palette, too. — Road Test Editor Zac Palmer 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric View 21 Photos 3. (Tie) 2024 Hyundai Kona The Hyundai Kona has been a favorite mini-crossover of ours for a while, but it has had some foibles. Most notably, it's been almost too small in some areas. That's been fixed and then some with this new one. It also doesn't lose any of the funkiness that made the model so distinct in the first place, while also gaining some fun styling cues from its bigger siblings.

Watch these Super Bowl car commercials [UPDATE]
Sat, Feb 2 2019On Sunday, February 3, the New England Patriots take on the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl 53 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. Some will watch because of the storyline of the old-school dynasty facing off against the new-school wunderkinds, but a large chunk of people will solely be watching for the commercials. Lucky for those who slot into the latter category, many of the manufacturers release their super bowl ads ahead of time, or have simply opted to release the commercials only online. Scroll down to see what car companies have already shown their cards. Audi Audi goes the comedic route in its clip for the Big Game. It starts with a grandpa showing his grandson a gorgeous Audi e-tron GT tucked away in a garage before he's shaken awake. Turns out he was just choking on a cashew in his cubicle at his boring job. Dodge Dodge does what it knows: create enough smoke to punch more holes in the ozone layer. Set to "The Devil Went Down to Georgia (the Super Bowl is in Atlanta, get it!?), a Challenger SRT Hellcat widebody, Charger SRT Hellcat, and Durango SRT are seen ripping through a city, leaving a trail of rubber crumbs in their wakes. Genesis Genesis has not yet released a commercial prior to the Super Bowl, but it is the official luxury vehicle of the NFL. Because of this, Genesis is hosting a fan experience for 10 days before the game. It will showcase the brand's cars, offer games, and have photos opportunities and autograph days. Hyundai Jason Bateman alert! Hyundai is one of the few companies to hook a major celebrity for its advertisement, and the casting is perfect. Bateman plays a doorman who takes people to various terrible events in life, including root canals, the middle seat, and shopping for a car. The ad centers around Hyundai's Shopper Assurance, which is Hyundai's new method for car shopping. Jeep An old 1963 Jeep Gladiator finds its strength in the crusher and transforms into a a new 2020 Gladiator, with a firm declaration that the nameplate is officially back. Kia Through Kia's commercial, a young boy wonders out loud what it'd be like if the millions spent on Super Bowl commercials were used to help others.
