 This is a really nice jeep.  I got it from a friend in Georgia who had it siting in a barn.  I went through it mechanically and shot it flat black to prevent rust.  I did not fix any of the little dents or dings but I did replace some metal in the floors and replaced the tailgate because of rust.  There is still a little rust in the bottom of the rocker panels (see pictures), beyond that it is rust free.  I built it to goof off in and have very much enjoyed it over the past few years but now it spends most of it's time in my barn only getting driven 3 or 4 times a year so I have decided to sell it, clearing some space in the barn and letting someone else enjoy the Jeep.

I have replaced all the brakes including hard lines and master cylinder, new tires, radiator, water pump, gas tank, carburetor, HEI distributor, front seats, custom made bumpers, new tailgate and roll bar with new three point seat belts.  It has 2" lift springs from Hell Creek along with new shocks and stainless steel brake lines.

When driven regularly, the jeep starts easily and runs very well.  At temperature (after being driven for a while) the engine temperature is at a constant 180 degrees and the oil pressure is at 20 lbs at idle and 55 lbs when driving.  The transmission is the TH400 automatic and it shifts smooth and works as it should.  The transfer case is the old gear driven type, Dana 20 I think, and the 4wd works as it should.  The jeep has power steering (the steering unit leaks a little) and power brakes.  The odometer reads 60,522.  I have no way of knowing if it is actual or not.

What the jeep does not have is a hard top.  I have the back hatch to the hard top but no hard top, only a bikini top.

Terms for this auction: The buyer is responsible for shipping, I will be as helpful as I can in working with your shipper but arranging and paying for shipping is the buyer's responsibility.  Please do not bid if you do not have the money in hand to buy.  I will not go back and forth with someone's back to help with financing.  A $500 deposit via pay pal will be due within 24 hours of the auction's close.  The remaining balance will be due in CASH within two weeks of the auction's close and the jeep will need to be picked up within that time as well.  Any other arrangements or types of payment will have to be worked out before you bid.  Any type of bank check would have to clear my bank before the jeep is released to your shipper.  If when you come to get the Jeep you believe I have misrepresented something I will refund $400 of your deposit via pay pal.  I reserve the option to cancel bids from folks with negative or zero feedback.

Jeep first American carmaker to return to Tokyo show

Sat, May 23 2015

Despite foreign-brand car sales in Japan declining six percent in the first four months of this year, Jeep sales are up 21 percent in the same period. That could explain why Jeep will be the first the US manufacturer to return to the Tokyo Motor Show after eight years away. Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler walked away during the global crisis that struck after the 2007 show. Jeep will be part of an eight-vehicle, four-brand showcase overseen by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Japan, the local subsidiary. For the moment, it is the only US brand to sign up - neither Ford, GM, or even Chrysler are committed to attend. Stablemates Fiat, Alfa Romeo, and Abarth will be there, along with 13 other foreign makes, answering the "Technology & Fantasy" theme for this year's event. In total, organizers announced 15 brands from 14 Japanese manufacturers, and 27 brands from 17 foreign carmakers. The show opens to the public from Oct. 30 to Nov. 8. Related Video:

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles recalls nearly 750k vehicles in two campaigns

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is recalling a total of 747,817 vehicles in the US in two separate campaigns recently added to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration database.
The first one covers about 434,581 units of the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Challenger, Durango, and Jeep Grand Cherokee from the 2011-2014 model years with electric hydraulic power steering, the 3.6-liter V6 engine and a 160 amp alternator, according to FCA. In the affected vehicles, it's possible for the alternator to fail without warning and possibly cause the car to stall. According to the documentation submitted to NHTSA, the automaker began investigating the problem in August 2014 and has found possible evidence of one crash caused by the failures but no known injuries.
Customers will begin receiving notification about the recall next month, and obviously the repairs will be done at no cost to them.
