1988 Jeep Wrangler Yj on 2040-cars

Year:1988 Mileage:131999
Location:

1988 Jeep yj wrangler    4cylinder that is great on gas  engine does not smoke or use oil.   5 speed transmission     driven almost daily  but should get some all around TLC.  body not bad for being an 88.    frame is in good shape, had rust issue at passenger side rear shackle (very common on jeeps, so common they sell a repair section to fix it, which was already done by a professional welding shop last fall)     31" tires factory jeep aluminum wheels    4x4 works but needs u-joints  I never use the 4x4 aside from getting up the driveway in the snow.  although I do drive this year round I don't drive it in the snow I have other vehicles for snow. this is more a summer cruiser for me.  in spring the top goes down and usually doesn't go back up till fall   just a fun little buggy to bounce around in topless in the summer.   

Driver seat is in tuff shape,  e brake pedal doesn't work ,   drives fine in 2wd but in 4wd you can tell it needs u-joints,  speedo doesn't work so true mileage is unknown and was when I bought it as well.   some of the recent items I did include   frame repaired, steering column bushings, tail lights  black soft top (not the gray one pictured), black 1/2 door uppers, new starter, new battery, tailpipe,  glass pack muffler (loud, maybe too loud for some)  brake line,  leather steering wheel (used)   This is an old style jeep, it is not like the new ones at all. nor does it ride like a new one, more like driving a go cart .   this is a good jeep for some one that wants to invest some time into it,One nice thing is the availability of parts new and used is no only endless but also the most affordable vehicle to buy parts for ive ever had.  for me its just a little run-a-round buggy. I have too many other projects  and not enough time or room to dedicate to this jeep.   

Come check it out in person   I will post more pictures on Tuesday.  if it sells an immediate deposit of $200.00 will be required threw paypal with the balance due within 7 days. if the deposit is not received within the first 36 hours or the jeep not paid in full by the 7 day period it will be considered a "dead deal" and deposit will not be refunded.  so if you bid please make sure you have the means to complete the deal.  once the jeep is paid for in full if you need to leave it here waiting for transporter or if you cant get here right away to pick it up  I can store it here no problem, just let me know what you need.  ****please be aware  the state of Rhode Island will NOT issue a title for vehicles this old so it will be sold on a bill of sale and a copy of my current registration.  that should be all you need to register it in other states.

Chrysler registers Trackhawk trademark

Wed, 01 Oct 2014

There may not be many ways to forecast what an automaker is planning for the future, but there are some. Trademark applications are one of them, and Chrysler has just applied with the US Patent and Trademark Office to protect the name "Trackhawk." The question is, what's it planning on using it for? We don't know for sure, but we can put together an educated guess or two. And one guess is that Jeep will use the name to replace the letters SRT on the performance version of the Grand Cherokee.
How do we figure, you ask? From a number of developments. For starters, the SRT division has been reintegrated into the Dodge brand. Those letters currently appear on only two vehicles from outside the Dodge lineup: one is the Grand Cherokee SRT, and the other is the Chrysler 300 SRT. We've heard ruminations (however unconfirmed) that the latter could be either discontinued or possibly relabeled, and if the same proves true of the GC, the Trackhawk name could serve as a on-road performance counterpart to the Trailhawk label applied to off-road versions of models like the Cherokee and Renegade.
Logical it may be, but it's hardly a foregone conclusion. The Trackhawk name could just as easily be used for a new concept (like the Trailhawk name was in 2007), for another kind of trim level or for something else entirely. In fact we don't even know for sure it'll be used by the Jeep brand specifically, or used at all for that matter. Automakers have been known, after all, to register names they don't end up using.

eBay Find of the Day: 1977 Jeep J20 time capsule

Tue, 08 Jan 2013

Is it just us or has eBay really become, of late, a surprising time capsule of older, barely used automobiles? We've had the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT with 83 miles, the 2004 Ferrari Enzo with 175 miles, the 1987 Shelby Lancer with 22 miles, the 1989 Shelby Dakota with 23 miles - none of those four cars ever even registered - and the 1975 Cosworth Vega with 191 miles. You can add to that list a 1977 Jeep J20 - the kind of Jeep that enthusiasts point to when they beg the brand to make another pickup truck.
Listed on eBay by Masterpiece Classic Cars in Whiteland, Indiana, the Brandywine and Alpine White truck has used its 360-cubic-inch V8 paired with a three-speed automatic to go just 3,940 documented miles. Not surprisingly, it's listed in excellent condition and the images appear to bear that out. The three-quarter-ton pickup comes with its original manual and pamphlets, the Quadra-Track four-wheel drive probably just as ready to tackle the terrain as it was 36 years ago. If only it came with some John Denver to play in that AM/FM/8-Track stereo...
At the time of writing it hasn't garnered a single offer or bid, probably due to the above-top-dollar Buy It Now price of $34,900. Still, since this is likely the closest you'll get to a Jeep pickup for some time, we'd recommend admiring it in the gallery of photos above.

2015 Jeep Renegade brings the cute

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

The jig is up, the noose is out, we finally found it: the Renegade that Jeep has made, retrieved for a bounty.
Okay, enough of that. Meet the Renegade - Jeep's cute little compact crossover that makes its official debut here at the Geneva Motor Show. We recently brought you a massive Deep Dive into what makes the Renegade tick, and we're now getting our first live look at the tiny Jeep, live from its coming out party in Switzerland.
With the exception of associate editor Jonathon Ramsey, who doesn't know what he's talking about, we at Autoblog are kind of smitten with the little Jeep - it's a really unique package, featuring details that really make it kind of special (notice that jerry can pattern in the taillights, for example). Jeep will offer the Renegade with either a 1.4-liter turbo-four (from the Fiat 500L) or a 2.4-liter naturally aspirated four (from the Dodge Dart), with either a six-speed manual transmission or a nine-speed automatic. There will even be a Trailhawk version with four-wheel drive - properly trail-rated, to boot. The Renegade also features a nifty new My Sky removable roof panel system, giving this little cutie sort of a baby Wrangler feel.
