Up for auction is this 3 speed 1975 CJ5 Jeep I purchased in Washington, OR in 2005, and drove it 1,600 miles back to Iowa with no problems! It has the stock 258 6 cylinder engine (not the 232) and had 69,000 miles on it. I am the 4th owner. It was originally passed down from Grandfather to Grandson in 1991 with 23,000 miles, and sold to the gentleman I bought it from with 47,000 miles. It had been repainted from the original white to dark metallic blue. Custom features include stainless bumpers, bumper guards, body hardware and interior grab bar. It has a black powder coated Swing Away Spare Tire Carrier (paint is peeling off); a big option at that time, an entire black Rhino lined interior pan and wheel wells. Wheel Rims are 15x8 5/5-1/2 (#164 Ultra) polished aluminum with s/s center caps. Included are the Original Window Sticker, 1975 Owner’s Manual, Warranty Pamphlets, original Repair Receipts, and Ads used to sell this jeep. Also included are Moses Ludel’s Jeep CJ Rebuilder’s Manual 1972-1986, Chilton’s Repair & Tune Up Guide 1947-1987. This jeep is in good mechanical condition and has a plenty of pep. I would not hesitate to drive it back to Oregon. It does burn a little oil and I suspect that someday it will need the rings replaced. The biggest problem is that it has sat outside, so developed the inevitable rust holes in the quarters. The left upper plastic door window has a foot long tear, otherwise, the Bestop soft top is in pretty good condition. The front seats had tears in them when I bought this jeep. I see one can now buy the 1975 original appearing seats, which were unavailable for a long time. I installed a new HEI distributor a couple of years ago, and recently installed a new valve cover gasket and had the carburetor overhauled, as it was hard to start if it sat for more than one week. Now it starts fine. The throw out bearing complains occasionally in really cold weather. Currently, it has 76,333 miles, so I have driven it about 7,000 miles during the past eight years. It is a great winter vehicle, which is what I mainly used it for, and of course fun to drive in the summer with the doors off. I am selling this jeep now as I’m in my 60’s and it is becoming increasingly uncomfortable for me to get in and out of it, especially with the door height and it’s short wheelbase ride. This would be a nice jeep the way it is now or as a project to restore or customize. Originally I paid $7500 for it, but am starting the bidding at $5,000 due to the needed rust repairs. Am selling ‘AS IS’ with no refunds or returns! Buyer must pick up Jeep and I must be paid via Bank Cashier’s Check or in cash, before I sign the Title and the Jeep leaves my house. Good luck bidding! |

Jeep brings quartet of concepts to Beijing to show its Chinese style
Mon, 21 Apr 2014Jeep is making a big play for the Chinese crossover market at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show. It has a quartet styling concepts for the Renegade, Cherokee and Wrangler that are inspired by Chinese culture at the show.
Among them is the newest member of the Jeep lineup - the Renegade. Its Zi You Xia concept (pictured above) comes from the Mandarin for "rebel," and it's painted in Warm Chocolate Gray with Dark Anodized Bronze trim, including the 20-inch wheels. The roof, grille surround, and mirror caps are done in a complimentary Dark Charcoal color as an accent. The interior is a mix of dark brown leather and Anodized Copper trim. This is one swanky compact crossover.
The Cherokee Sageland and Urbane concepts are meant to show to different sides of Chinese style. With inspiration from the Shangri-La Region, the Sageland has Ivory Pearl tri-coat paint with bronze trim on the outside, and the interior is covered in Gray Nappa leather with red and blue stitching. The Urbane's look comes from the nightlife in the country's cities. The exterior is a color called Maximum Steel with Hyper Black trim. Inside, it combines Piano Black trim with dark red leather seats.
NHTSA investigating power modules on Chrysler Group SUVs and minivans
Mon, 29 Sep 2014The Center for Auto Safety is officially petitioning the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to begin scrutinizing alleged problems with the totally integrated power module (TIPM) on about 24 Chrysler Group SUVs and minivans. The advocacy group claims that the part's failure can cause affected vehicles to stall or not start at all. NHTSA is still looking into the accusations and deciding whether a full investigation is actually warranted.
The CAS petition claims at least 70 TIPM failures, but according to NHTSA, six of the complaints are for models that don't have the modules. In 34 of the reported cases, the vehicles refused to start, and in 17 of them the engine stalled. There were also two allegations of smoke and one of a fire. However, none of these affected airbag deployment or resulted in a crash.
This petition isn't the first TIPM-related problem for Chrysler Group. A recent report in the New York Times alleged that it found 240 complaints potentially related to the issue on NHTSA's website alone. In September, the automaker also recalled 230,760 examples worldwide (188,723 in the US) of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango replace the fuel pump relay circuit inside of the TIPM-7 with one external to the unit. The original part could allegedly cause the models to stall without warning. Even earlier, the company also recalled about 80,000 examples of the Jeep Wrangler and Dodge Nitro in 2007 to have the module reprogrammed.
2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4X4
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Ice skates are spectacular on frozen water, yet they are dreadful everyday footwear. I consider the Jeep Wrangler equally as specialized.
I recently spent a week with a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4X4. Introduced for the 2007 model year, the Wrangler Unlimited is a standard JK two-door with 20.6 inches added to its wheelbase and two additional doors bolted to its passenger compartment. While Jeep offers the Unlimited in seven different trim levels, the desirable Rubicon is the most capable when the pavement ends, as it boasts a slew of hardcore off-road tools including front and rear electronic locking differentials and a front sway bar that can be disengaged at the touch of a button for improved articulation. My I-Look-Like-A-Traffic-Cone test model started with a base price of $34,095 (plus $995 destination). Options including a five-speed automatic transmission, Uconnect, tow package and a premium soft top, drove the bottom line up to $38,630.
