The old Camp Wandawega "house Jeep" is looking for a new home. It has served us well over the last several years, but we're now looking for an older Jeep Wagon, so this one has to go to make room : ) It shows 58,602 miles on the odometer, but as a vintage vehicle the title is milage exempt, so we can't be sure exactly how many miles are on it. The prior owner claims it to be original miles, and goes on to state that the block is even newer: apparently they had summer weight coolant in it one cold Wisconsin winter instead of antifreeze, which led to a freeze, which led to a crack, which led to a new block. Take a look and you be the judge. This beast of a Wagoneer is pre-Grand Wagoneer, so no power seats, no power windows, no power door locks, to fail on you. This particular Jeep has appeared in a number of photo shoots and catalogs over the years for numerous magazines, brands and retailers including Flea Market Style, Penfield, Jack Spade, Warby Parker, Purina, etc. 
But please don't fall in love with the "photo shoot" persona of this Jeep. It's an old, used, driven Wagoneer and it needs some TLC, most notably new floor pans. New floor pans are a must. It can also use some suspension help: it has sagging leaf springs, old shocks. Mechanically, it fires right up, goes strong, shifts strong, and stops well. The body has some scratches, dings, a small dent in the rear cargo door, and some rust. I have a rear manual window crank that goes with it, but it is not installed. It will need to be installed in order to open and close the rear window. The mounting pole is stripped, so it won't simply attach as it should: some MacGyver-ing will be needed. It's a strong, reliable runner. This Jeep has never been professionally restored, just fixed up piecemeal over the years. Much of it as you see is original, including most of the interior. Your best bet is to come see it in person so you get a better sense of the TLC needed. What else can I tell you? Please don't hesitate to ask. And please don't buy it sight unseen thinking it's a show car, then complain later. Come look at it. We'll let it go for a fair price based on the condition. It's not a trailer queen "Wagonmaster" Jeep by a long shot, but it's a fun, cool, unique, Jeep and we'd love to see it go to a new loving home! The "Camp Wandawega" logos on both doors are not painted on, they are vinyl letters, and that will be removed prior to selling.

NHTSA still mulling crash tests for recalled Jeeps

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

Well, no one should ever accuse the government of not giving things plenty of thought. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is still debating whether it will retest any of the 1.56 million 1992 to 1998 Grand Cherokees and 2002 to 2007 Libertys that were part of a recall regarding fires after rear-end collisions. And yes, this debate has been going on for over a month. In other news...
The recall dustup started in early June, when Chrysler took the unusual position of refusing a recall request from NHTSA regarding placement of the fuel tank on the effected vehicles. NHTSA said a collision could cause a fire, a position Chrysler took issue with. Extensive negotiations ensued, with Chrysler agreeing to fit certain Jeeps with trailer hitches, which it said would provide some protection to fuel tanks mounted behind the rear axle in the event of a collision.
Part of the issue rests with the amount of data that needs to be processed, according to The Detroit News. NHTSA administrator David Strickland said during a Washington Auto Press Association meeting, "There's a lot of data and Chrysler is being very cooperative in giving us more data." Until that information has been sorted, it looks like re-testing will still be up for debate.

eBay Find of the Day: Jeep Comanche Zombie Response Unit

Sat, 02 Feb 2013

We've seen some pretty fantastic apocalypse vehicles in our day. We've even owned one or two, but this particular Jeep Comanche tugs at our heart strings in all the right ways. Let's start with the basics: there's a stout 4.0-liter engine underhood hooked to a five-speed manual transmission, and while we wish this truck was four-wheel drive, the two-inch lift and oversize tires should help you overcome obstacles with enough momentum.
Details like handy shovels, Jerry cans and a brush guard inspired by the hardware on a CUCV help lend the truck a no-nonsense appeal, and the functional CB whip antenna means you can ask for backup when the undead hordes come your way. If you like what you see as much as we do, you can head over to eBay Motors to place a bid. The auction has inched up to $4,000 with just two days left on the clock.

Here's another look at the next-gen Jeep Wrangler Unlimited

Thu, Mar 30 2017

Yesterday, we got a sneak peek at the next generation Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. As you might expect, it looks a lot like the current Wrangler. Really, did you expect anything different? The big news is that the leaked images show that the doors and top are removable, something that was unclear until now. Thanks to our friends at JL Wrangler Forums, we have some pretty new renderings based on those same leaked images. While these aren't official, this should be pretty damn close to what the final production model will look like. While it may be all new, the design is just a revolution of the tried and true formula. Fans might burn down the factory if designers strayed too far. The entire body has been worked over, with changes to the grille, bumper, fenders, and lights. The square tail lights look a lot like those on the Renegade. We keep seeing more and more leaks and spy photos, so an official reveal can't be too far off. In addition to the four-door Wrangler Unlimited, look for the long awaited Wrangler pickup truck.
