1995 Jeep Wrangler Yj - Wow Epic Mount on 2040-cars
Kensington, Maryland, United States
|
4 cyl – 2.5L Manual 5 speed w/~150K miles
Recient work: Replace clutch, rear main, seal oil pan, change oil and all fluids. The transfer case was checked and resealed. The jeep is house broken. No leaks. I had it re-geared to 4:88 so it runs very well on the highway (both front and rear) axle seals were done while we had it open. Resealed the diff covers, new fluid. We painted the pumpkins orange. I seem to remember that we did the muffler and tailpipe too. One side of the emergency brake cables was stretched so it was replaced. Front breaks and rotors were done. The tires are 33” x12.5(Firestone Destination M/T ). I replaced the rusty hubs with new American Racing hubs. Tires and wheels are in great shape. The mounting plate for the winch was modified and winch properly installed. There is a lower radiator hose heater with plug in the front for winter. I put on the rugged ridge steering stabilizer which helped a lot with control on the highway. The mechanic called it death rattle, hitting bumps / potholes and bridge joints at speed is much improved. Added blue LED down lights, inside cab foot well LED lights on a dimmer & front grill light. I replaced front auxiliary lights and added two horns (for fun.) The controls are in the cab with switches for bunny burners, zombie lights and beer cooler. There is also an additional cigarette lighter and 12v 20A power circuit. New Wet Okole seat covers front and rear. Replaced windshield seal and worked to seal all leaks into the cab. It's a jeep thing. The floorboards are in exceptional condition. Undercarriage is in fantastic shape. The jeep was stored inside for most of it’s life. The Epic Mount stickers and Blizzard Entertainment stickers can be easily removed.
I put a new top and door covers on. I am pretty sure that I have the old one is in the garage. Everything I have for the jeep, old seat covers, misc door gaskets, etc come with. I didn’t know that the seat covers could be sent to the wet Okole people to be reworked rather than buying new. The jeep comes with a summer bikini top not perfect but kind of fun and a cover. Jumper cables so you can help other people assorted tools. Jeep cover. New light on the trailer hitch.
Potential issues? The previous owner reported that the AC is intermittent. I found that to be true. Sometimes it would work and sometimes not. I have not had a chance to investigate but it looks to me like the heater core was replaced. The lines get cold and I have felt cool air but it is inconsistent. Ahh, who needs AC in the jeep anyhow.
I don’t know what else to tell you. I have had a lot of fun working on the jeep and fixing it up. Most of the mechanical work was done in cooperation with a local auto shop. I wanted it to be reliable. Why am I am offering the YJ for sale? The divorce has taken it’s toll on my ability to keep my toys but my loss is your gain. If you are looking for a jeep that is in great shape then bid on this puppy. I hate to see it go but … it happens. I loaned the jeep to a friend last week. When we were putting on the top the back window zipper on the left side got stuck and is now missing a tooth or two. I am going to see if I can get the zipper back in or if I have the old back window panel. I've discounted the reserve to account for this. I drove it today and don't mind keeping it. I'd drive it anywhere (sidewalks ? :-) I see no reason this truck wouldn't go anywhere. I was driving 66 miles a day this past winter - no issues. Oh there was a little leaking that is evidently common to jeep wranglers. I think I got it figured out. Depending on your location and the final sale price I might be able to help with delivery. I have bought and sold several cars through ebay so I know what is like to get it home. Send a note if you have questions. Good luck bidding. On Jun-30-14 at 05:59:21 PDT, seller added the following information: When I went to register the milage reported previously was higher than it is currently. I asked the previous owner and he said they made a mistake in keying the odometer. I have seen the DMV do all kinds of weird keying errors so I'm inclined to go with the odometer. It is what it is. If you have questions or are nearby and want to go for a ride, let me know. Thanks for checking out my auction. On Jul-03-14 at 04:30:10 PDT, seller added the following information: Hello Bidders. Thanks again for showing interest. I never liked fishing for the reserve on big ticket items. I was not very happy about bidding against new ebay accounts with zero feedback. This is a real auction, there are listing fees, final value fees and it takes time to make the auction, post and answer questions if you have any, monitor the auction and all of that. Please be serious about your bids, bid only if you want to buy the jeep and only for as much as you are willing and able to pay. It is a wonderful vehicle and I want it to go to someone who is intereseted and make a fair deal. FYI - the reserve is set at $7500. I hope you are interested and only bid what you are willing and able to pay. Thank you. |

Made in America | These cars top the most-American list
Mon, Dec 5 2022The car with the most American/Canadian content for 2022 is ... cue the drumroll ... the Lincoln Corsair, in both standard gasoline-fueled and plug-in hybrid guise. Both versions of Lincoln's compact luxury crossover earned a score of 86 — due to 72% of its parts coming from one of the two aforementioned countries — in the American University Kogod Business School's annual "Made in America Auto Index." Last year's leader, the 2021 Ford Mustang GT (when equipped with a manual transmission) fell all the way to 22nd place with a 50% rating due to a switch in transmissions sourced from Mexico. In case you're interested, that puts Ford's red-blooded American ponycar below vehicles like the Kia Sorento, Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class SUV and Lexus ES. If you're wondering how an American car that's assembled within the borders of the United States could rank below a model from a Korean, German or Japanese automaker, well, we'll let Kogod explain: "The components of the index are based on research performed by the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor Michigan regarding the economic value of different components of auto manufacturing. For example, the highest ranked cars are made by U.S.-based manufacturers using American engines and transmissions, and with a high AALA percentage of U.S. and Canadian parts." There are 25 total vehicles listed in the Top 10 (there are lots of ties this year). Here's the full list: (1) Lincoln Corsair: 86 (1) Lincoln Corsair PHEV: 86 (2) Tesla Model 3 Long Range: 82.5 (3) Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray: 81 (4) Chevrolet Colorado: 80.5 (5) Jeep Cherokee Latitude 4x4: 80 (5) Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk: 80 (5) Tesla Model 3 Performance: 80 (5) Tesla Model Y: 80 (6) Dodge Durango Citadel: 79.5 (6) Dodge Durango Blacktop AWD: 79.5 (7) Honda Passport Trailsport: 78.5 (8) Ford F-150 2.7L, 3.3L, 5.0L: 77.5 (8) Ford Ranger: 77.5 (8) Ford Bronco automatic: 77.5 (8) Tesla Model S: 77.5 (8) Tesla Model X: 77.5 (9) Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 3.6L: 77 (9) Jeep Grand Cherokee L LTD: 77 (9) Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 3.6L: 77 (9) Chevrolet Camaro automatic: 77 (10) Honda Odyssey: 76 (10) Honda Ridgeline: 76 (10) Honda Pilot: 76 There's a whole long list of reasons for the above scores, with seven criteria that include factory location, headquarters location and where its various bits and pieces come from.
Making the Compatriot the Jeep we want - and deserve
Fri, Jul 8 2016If you're one of the hottest brands in the world, and you need to replace two vehicles that sell at a rate of nearly 200k a year, what exactly are you going to do? Do you take the safe route and attempt to mirror what has largely kept you a success thus far, or do you improve on the formula, and better sort your lineup? After 10 years with the Jeep Compass and Patriot, it is time for both to hang up their jackets and go in for the long dirt nap. And what a strange 10 years it's been. Born of the age of Diamler-Chrysler, the "Merger of equals," the Compass and Patriot were brought into this world to shore up sales of Jeep worldwide, pull on the heartstrings of former Cherokee owners, and make sure teenage girls had an affordable crossover to buy in just a few years. As much as I like to throw shade at each model on both subjective and objective basis, I truly find the purpose of each vehicle to be relatively endearing. For less than $22,000, you could (that is, if you could find one) walk out of your local Jeep dealer with a 4x4 crossover, with a manual gearbox, decent all-weather performance, and somewhat respectable fuel economy. This of course ignores the fact that they weren't packaged all that well, based on the outrageously terrible Dodge Caliber, and used all those shared bits and bobs with Mitsubishi that should have been shelved by 2010. Yet, the twins lived on, and on, and on. We've heard stories as far back as 2012 that they weren't long for our world, and then we get news that they're making it through 2017. Just in time for the "Compatriot" to arrive. I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out what Jeep intends to do with the Compatriot. As far as most blogs seem to know, we're getting a Compass and Patriot replacement that is based on the already well-received Renegade. A little bit of a stretch on the chassis will certainly aid in ride quality, and the Grand Cherokee styling cues will give it a much more upscale demeanor. Even the interior has looked very well executed, with a positively huge uConnect screen set in the middle of the dash. Could Jeep actually be trying to take their Compass and Patriot replacement significantly more up the product chain? I certainly hope so. If you pilot your browser over to the Jeep configurators, you might be surprised by how low the base prices are on almost all of their products. Less than $30k for a new Cherokee? A Renegade for just under $18k? What a deal!
