1985 CJ-7 Laredo, 258 straight 6 (4.2L) with 4-speed manual, 122xxx miles
The entire body exterior was recently sprayed with truck bedliner by Line-X of Lancaster
Underbody and frame coated with black POR-15 rust-preventative paint, and I'm in the process of finishing the inside of the tub with the same paint
I've had this Jeep for 2+ years and put about 20K miles on it, and it's been the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. I'm selling it simply because I took a new job that requires an 80+ mile round trip every day, and if you've ever owned a Jeep, you understand why that isn't practical. The Jeep runs very smoothly, especially after having the carburetor professionally adjusted. Is idles at 500 RPM and gets around 20 MPG on the highway, which is excellent for this motor. The clutch and transmission have always been trouble-free and the 4x4 works great in the snow. It will be ready for off-roading with nothing more than beefier tires. I took it on as a small project that I'm finally satisfied with. That combined with my long commute has put me back in the market for a car, and has freed up time for me to take on a new project. And no, I don't want another project, so don't offer trades on anything that needs major work.
New parts include:
Original CJ fiberglass hard top
Bestop Supertop with tinted rear and side windows (installed)
Spare tan soft top, worn but still usable
Bestop bikini top included (ok so I guess that makes 4 tops, not 2...)
Warn front bumper and 6000lb Warn winch
Rugged Ridge 7" fender flares (recently installed)
Front fenders and hood (originals just starting to rust)
Mopar Performance valve cover
Hella headlights
good tread on tires
new wiper arms and blades
intake and exhaust manifold gasket, no exhaust leaks anywhere
carburetor recently cleaned and tweaked
K&N oil and air filters, always
Mojave 12,000 BTU heater
Pioneer receiver and speakers
More additions than I can remember at this point....
I'm not in any hurry to get rid of it. I'd certainly prefer to sell it for cash, $6000 OBO, but I would entertain trades for anything that gets reasonable gas mileage that I can use as a beater/daily driver IF you have cash to add. No bikes, no quads, nothing idiotic.

Millionth Jeep Wrangler JK to roll off line this morning
Fri, 17 May 2013According to a report on the Chrysler Communications Facebook page and one fairly grainy image of the production line, at around 11:00AM Eastern this morning, the one-millionth Jeep Wrangler JK will roll out of the company's Toledo assembly plant.
The third-generation or "JK" Jeep Wrangler has been around since the 2007 model year, and has obviously been more popular than ever. With a greater than ever number of trim levels, two-door and four-door Unlimited models and hardy off-roading Rubicon packages, the JK offers more to choose from than ever for those looking for something in a traditional Jeep. In fact, with the modern 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 powering it, the 2012 model year saw more than 140k Wrangers sold here in the US; the best-ever figure for the model.
With a model refresh due out for the Wrangler in 2015 (along with the likely addition of a diesel engine option), we expect that sales will continue to roll right along, too.
Six 'shut up and take my money' cars
Tue, 11 Nov 2014Any time you see this iconic moment in pop culture - Shut up and take my money! - posted in response to a new car reveal, rumor for an upcoming model or even lip-service to a vehicle that should exist, you can bet there's some intrinsic good in the idea. Though depending on the person offering up the cash, that good could take the form of extraordinary form, functionality, weight savings, power, handling, etc. You get the idea.
In fact, when I first proposed this list, I reached out to the Autoblog staff to help me brainstorm. Here are some of the ideas they offered up that I ultimately didn't use: Jaguar XE Coupe, Pagani Huayra Roadster, Mercedes-Benz S-Class "parade car" (cabriolet), Morgan 3-Wheeler with Ducati V-twin, Ford Transit Connectamino (pickup), Mercedes CLA63 AMG, Ford Fusion 5.0, BMW i8 Spyder, Lexus RC-F Shooting Brake, Volvo XC90 Polestar. Oh, and things we collectively wanted to stick Dodge's Hellcat in were almost as numerous as models that Fiat Chrysler Automotive currently makes (though none quite so compelling as the Grand Cherokee you see above.)
Ultimately though, while I used a couple of ideas from my colleagues, the list of cars I'd shell out for unquestionably is very personal. Though it isn't complete, what follows is a selection of cars whose very existence would prompt me - or the trust-fund-baby versions of me - to utter without hesitation: "Shut up and take my money."
Chrysler recalls 468,700 Jeep Grand Cherokees, Commanders over rollaway risk
Mon, 13 May 2013Chrysler has issued a recall covering a combined 469,000 units of the 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the 2006-2010 Jeep Commander (inset). Of that number, 295,000 are in the US, roughly 33,000 in Canada and Mexico and the remainder in other markets. It seems an electrical fault in the transfer case can allow the affected SUVs to shift into neutral on their own, while an Associated Press report says that Chrysler had "found cracks in a circuit board that turns the four-wheel-drive system on and off." The issue was discovered when an owner started his car remotely and it rolled away.
Chrysler is expected to begin notifying owners in June 2013, who can then take their cars to dealers. The dealer will reflash the final drive controller free of charge. There's a bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below with more information.
