1978 Jeep Cj 5 Beautiful! on 2040-cars
Knoxville, Tennessee, United States
|
This is a jaw-dropping, head-turning 1978 Jeep CJ 5 that recently completed a frame-up restoration. This Jeep looks brand new inside, outside and under the hood. It is a beautiful metallic brown color with black interior. It is structurally, mechanically and aesthetically perfect.
I purchased this Jeep last month on eBay for $17,000 for my wife. I do not think that she will ever drive it as she isn't interested in driving a manual (something that I should have considered ahead of time admittedly) and it has largely sat in my garage except for the occasional Saturday joy ride. Unfortunately, I work a lot and I don't think this Jeep is going to be used like it deserves to be. I can tell you that it gets ALOT of attention when I take it out. The bikini top can be removed and the windshield folded forward for a very unique look. Since I have owned it, I have had steering stabilizers professionally installed on it. I honestly know very little about its history but can tell you confidently that it hasn't been taken off of the road since its restoration was completed earlier this year. It has locking hubs and brand new tires (along with everything else). The fuel gauge and temperature gauge aren't hooked up but I plan to return it to the shop to at least remedy the fuel gauge before it sells. If you have any questions I will be happy to answer them or find an answer or take more pics for you. Buyer is responsible for shipping and a $1000 deposit is due within 48 hours of listing end. The remainder of the balance is due within two weeks and the Jeep and title will be released upon full payment. Thanks for viewing! |

Jeep recalling 75,000 Cherokees over air-conditioning lines
Tue, Oct 27 2015Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has issued a recall for an estimated 75,364 examples of the Jeep Cherokee in the United States. The problem stems from an air-conditioning line, which may have been installed to close to the exhaust manifold. "Under certain operating conditions," says FCA in the statement below, "this may pose a fire risk." Thus far, however, the company says it is "unaware of any related injuries or accidents." The owners of those 75k Jeeps (as well as another 18,000+ in other markets) can expect to hear from their local dealers to have the problem rectified. However the manufacturer also advises owners to watch out for indicators like air-conditioning loss or a dashboard warning light and contact their dealers if necessary. Related Video: Statement: Air-conditioning System October 27, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 75,364 U.S.-market SUVs to inspect and replace, as required, their air-conditioning lines, as required. FCA US launched an investigation after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration received two customer complaints involving smoke and fire. The Company discovered air-conditioning lines on some vehicles may have been installed in close proximity to their engines' exhaust manifolds; under certain operating conditions, this may pose a fire risk. FCA US is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. The recall is limited to certain 2015 Jeep Cherokees. Additional vehicles are affected in other markets. They include an estimated 7,571 in Canada; 4,018 in Mexico; and 6,942 outside the outside the NAFTA region. Affected customers will be advised when they may schedule service, which FCA US will provide free of charge. . Customers who observe air-conditioning loss or any other concern, such as a dashboard warning light, should contact their dealers. Customers with additional questions may call the FCA US Customer Information Center at 1-800-853-1403.

Watch a Jeep CJ get disassembled and reassembled in minutes
Fri, Feb 16 2018Movie buffs! Remember the scene in the James Bond film 007: The Living Daylights where Timothy Dalton's character slices the floorpan off a police Lada using a laser, and when the driver hits the brakes the Lada's body simply jumps off its axles? That scene was immediately brought to mind as I watched this clip of eight Canadian mechanics disassembling a slightly modified Jeep in a matter of seconds. Having driven the Jeep to a complete stop, the technicians start unbolting it until the body lifts off the frame and the engine can be hauled away. It only took half a minute to turn the Jeep into just a chassis on wheels. As repair manuals say, refitting is the reversal of removal. Apparently the technicians have now honed their mechanical choreography to the point that the Jeep can be disassembled and reassembled in two minutes and 39 seconds; while I expect a great number of bolts having been removed beforehand and the likelihood of the Jeep falling to pieces with a sharp braking being significant, it is definitely impressive. It also reminds me of someone driving an old, dodgy car, having learned all its kinks to be able to keep it running. According to a Reddit thread, the pre-modified "Jifty Jeep" has been built (and taken apart, and rebuilt) by the School of Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (RCEME) for exactly this purpose. The team travels all around Canada to practice their show, trying to shave seconds off their record. There are worse hobbies.
