 This is a fun little Jeep.  It starts right up (brand new battery and tune up) and runs excellently.  It has free flow headers and  dual exhaust, so it seems to have more power than the original cast iron manifolds.  I have the original exhaust manifolds if you want them to bring it back to original.  This is an early 1970 model as it was built by Kaiser and not AMC.  It has the original Buick Dauntless 225 V-6 and it is dry - no oil leaks what-so-ever.  When I got it 6 years ago it was missing many parts which I found and put on.  Namely, the parking brake handle and cables, the horn button, and horn contacts wire.  The original turn signal didn't work so I bought another and with the two made one good turn signal that works.  The wiper motor wasn't working so I replaced it.  (I have the other wiper that is not in the picture).  No turn signals (lights, bulbs and lenses) were there so I got new ones and put them on.  There is no turn signal on the passenger's side rear as originally there was a spare tire mounted there.  I put on a new front bumper, new chrome headlight bezels, and other chrome pieces replaced - hood latches and strap buckles.  It had no side view mirror so I got the correct style mirror.  New switch knobs, new gauge cluster with all new gauges, new fuel tank sending unit so the gas gauge works.  The glove box door was missing so I found one and put it on.  The two front seats are new Bestop seats, although a mechanic put a cigarette burn in the seat of the driver's side.  I added front seat belts - the kind that stand up on their own, so you don't have to go reaching and fiddling for them.  I put on a new steering gearbox so the steering is tight.  Also shocks and a front steering stabilizer shock.  I also replaced the transfer case and the 4 wheel drive works fine as do the manual hub lockouts.  I replaced a brown bikini top with the black one that's on there now as it looks better.  I took pictures of some half doors I received when I bought the Jeep, and just hosed them down to clean them as I haven't used them, but they go with the Jeep.  I replaced the brake and clutch pedal pads, but left the original gas pedal as it still looks great.  This is one way you can tell it has such low mileage - the gas pedal has minimal wear...  I took pictures of wheel wells and the inside so you can see there is no rust out ( just some surface rust).  As you can see the green in the interior is the original color.  Some one painted it red and then the black.  I know it was painted red since who ever painted it black did a lousy job of prepping and now some paint is chipping off.  This is I would say the only bad feature.  I said it was rust free, but there is a little rust in the floor of the passenger side toolbox (under the seat you can see the lid), but it is not bad and still holds tools if you care to put any there.  I have a boot and the boot hold down for the stick shift but didn't find it in time for pictures.  It looks to have a 3 or 4 inch lift which was done before I got it, but that just makes it better and able to handle those big tires.  I added the "4 wheel drive" decal to the tailgate (as original) and have "Jeep" decals for the front doglegs where Jeep is stamped, but haven't put them on.  I even put a "necker's knob on to help steer as there is no power steering or for that matter, no power brakes, heater, air conditioner or radio.  This Jeep is from the day when guys with hairy chests bought them...

  Well, it's a very small vehicle and I wrote up a lot about it so I probably have covered it all, but if not, feel free to email with questions.  Needless to say, I have a lot more than the starting price in this Jeep, but I am going to let it go for what the market will bear.  I just used it all weekend for dragging logs off my property and it was a blast.

FCA delays Grand Wagoneer and next-generation heavy-duty Ram trucks

Mon, Dec 12 2016

The upcoming Jeep Grand Wagoneer has had a tumultuous gestation thus far. At one point it was essentially confirmed, but later it was rumored to have been cancelled. In that context, the latest report from Automotive News is something of a mixed blessing. According to the publication, the Grand Wagoneer has simply been delayed, as has the next-generation Ram heavy duty truck line. This does not seem to affect the fully redesigned Ram 1500, which was previously reported to have been pushed back slightly to 2019. Automotive News says the information came from unnamed sources at the company. Nothing was said about how long the vehicles would be delayed. The publication also conjectures that FCA is delaying the models to save some money to help cover the company's $7 billion of debt , since re-tooling both the heavy-duty truck plant and eventual Grand Wagoneer plant will be expensive. View 6 Photos We reached out to Chrysler for more information on the subject, but the company wouldn't comment on the report. Even so, we wouldn't be too surprised if FCA is indeed delaying these products. The company has delayed a number of vehicles in recent years. In fact nearly every major FCA truck and SUV, including the Grand Wagoneer and Ram line, were delayed about a year and a half ago. We certainly hope the company doesn't delay the Grand Wagoneer for too long, since it's possible it will have a price tag of over $130,000. The profit margins on an SUV with that kind of MSRP would go a long way to helping to pay down the company's debt. Related Video:

2018 Jeep Wrangler production ending to make way for Jeep pickup

Tue, Jan 30 2018

After more than a decade in production, the outgoing JK generation Jeep Wrangler is set to end production on April 7. According to Automotive News, parts supplier Hyundai Mobis North America notified the State of Ohio that production was ending. The Toledo, Ohio, plant where the Jeep is built is already deep into production of the replacement JL generation Wrangler. The big news isn't that JK production is ending but that the plant is retooling in order to get Wrangler pickup production underway. Details on the Wrangler pickup are scarce. Jeep hasn't said anything, so most of what we know comes from various spy shots. Basically, expect a JL Wrangler Unlimited with a bed. That's a good thing. We were quite smitten with the Wrangler when we drove it late last year. It's better equipped and more refined than ever. The Toledo plant has a capacity of about 300,000 units a year. FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne expects about 100,000 Wrangler pickups to be sold each year. When the Wrangler pickup arrives, look for a naturally aspirated V6 under the hood. The turbo inline-four is likely, though smaller volumes could limit the truck's engine choices. The upcoming turbo diesel is a possibility, too. Other details include suspension that takes a cue from Ram. Look for a full reveal in the next few months. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Jeep Yuntu three-row crossover spied testing on public roads

Tue, Jan 2 2018

Jeep is doing very well, especially compared to most other FCA brands. Still, there's a three-row sized hole in the automaker's lineup. In April 2017, the Jeep Yuntu made its debut at the Shanghai Auto Show. While that plug-in hybrid was just a concept, we now have a second set of spy shots showing that a road-going Yuntu is deep into development. Even with the black and white camouflage, there's no mistaking this for anything other than a Jeep. The new model looks like a larger Grand Cherokee with styling elements cribbed from the new Compass and refreshed Cherokee, though the profile unsurprisingly reminds us of the Dodge Durango (essentially a three-row Grand Cherokee). The thin headlights and taillights have made it over from the concept, though both are toned down for the production version. A three-row Jeep is all but officially confirmed for the US. The real question is what it will be called. We doubt Americans will fall head over heels for a American vehicle named the Yuntu. Reviving the Wagoneer or Grand Wagoneer nameplates seems far more likely. We can only speculate on powertrains, but considering the Yuntu concept was a plug-in hybrid, expect some flavor of electrification. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
