Up for bids is a 1979 Jeep Cherokee Chief Sport. It has the original AMC 360 V8 with a 2 barrel carb. This thing runs great with no engine noise or smoke and starts everytime. It is obvious that it has been rebuilt at some point but not sure when. The transmission shifts good with no issues and the 4 wheel drive works good in all ranges. It is all time 4 wheel drive with the quadra trac selector in the glove box and a lever under the seat to lock it into low range. It has dana 44 diferentials front and rear and they are both in good shape. It has had new u-joints installed in the rear driveshaft. I have the new ones for the front driveshaft but just never put them in because there still tight. It has had a new u-joint installed in the front right axle as well as new bearings. The frame is in good shape with only surface rust, no rot or holes. As far as the body goes the outside is in decent shape but around the back wheel wells the inner and outer panels have rusted apart and someone has sprayed foam from the inside to seal it up. I guess it works but if your wanting to restore it the foam will need to be removed and the metal welded back. The window in the tailgate works(although someone wired up new switches for it) but the tailgate hinge on the passenger side has came loose. It will still open and close you just have to play with it a little bit. The tires are 31x10.5 and in good shape with right around half tread and they are all wore evenly. This jeep is by no means a show car but you can jump in it and drive it wherever you want to (on or off road). If you have any questions on something I may have forgot to mention feel free to ask. If you have little or no feedback contact me before bidding or your bid will be cancelled. Thanks for looking and good luck

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

The Ford Motor Company has a lot of reasons to celebrate after winning eight categories in this year's Texas Auto Writers Association's annual Truck Rodeo. Most important among them, the Blue Oval's latest 2015 Ford F-150 earned the prestigious Truck of Texas award, ending the Ram 1500's two-year winning streak. The 2015 Lincoln MKC also grabbed the honor as the CUV of Texas, and Ford was named Truck Line of Texas.
FoMoCo even took trophies for best technology with its extensive use of aluminum on its latest F-Series and best commercial vehicle for the new Transit 250. It wasn't a total sweep, though, because the Jeep Grand Cherokee grabbed the title of the SUV of Texas for the fifth straight time.
This year's event put 60 auto writers in 75 pickups, SUVs and crossovers and challenged them to find the best in a plethora of categories. All of the winners are listed below, and scroll down to read the full announcements from the Texas Auto Writers Association and Ford.

Jurassic Park made a big impact on these Jeep drivers

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

For a certain cohort of young folks, Jurassic Park is a touchstone film from their childhood. Not only did it play into practically every little boy's love of dinosaurs, the movie included some great action scenes and special effects that still hold up today. In its latest video, The Aficionauto takes a look the Jurassic Park Motor Pool, a California car club with over 40 fans who created replica vehicles from the iconic film.
The club is made up of an interesting cross-section of people. Many of them were Jeep Wrangler fans that already loved off-roading and Jurassic Park, and liked the idea of bringing them together. Like any close-knit club, it ends up being about community and people coming together to share their interests. It's quite a heartwarming video. Also, be sure to stay until the end because The Aficionauto teases a future Jurassic Park-themed vehicle. Scroll down to check out the motor pool.

Fri, 16 Nov 2012

Chrysler is adding a third shift at its Warren Truck plant to meet demand for the new 2013 Ram pickup. And with tight supplies of its Pentastar V6, the company is also boosting output at its Mack Engine plant.
The expansions will add 1,250 jobs and are part of a $238 million investment by Chrysler in the Detroit area. Warren's third shift will begin work sometime in the spring, a Chrysler rep told Automotive News. Mack's increased Pentastar production a could include both 3.6 and 3.2-liter engines.
The company says it also plans to invest $40 million in its Trenton Engine plant to allow for production of a 3.2-liter V6 as well as the Tigershark inline-four for the upcoming Jeep Liberty replacement.
