 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.

2018 Jeep Wrangler will have an aluminum hood and doors, leaked memo says

Fri, Sep 16 2016

Earlier this year, FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne revealed that 2018 Jeep Wrangler would feature a heavy dose of aluminum, though he didn't specify how. Now, JL Wrangler Forums says the Wrangler will use the material for the hood and the doors, citing an internal bulletin from aluminum supplier Alcoa. According to the forum, the company says the next-gen Wrangler will utilize Aloca's C6A1 (an internal name) high form alloy. The SUV will also get 6022 and A951 from Alcoa that will be used on the SUV's front and rear doors, as well as for the hood. Alcoa's C6A1 is the company's new high form alloy, while its 6022 alloy sheet can be found on things like a car's hood, door, or closure panels. Alcoa's A951 is the company's pre-treatment aluminum sheet bonding technology that it uses on automobiles. "A team in the Farmington Hills (Michigan, USA) Aerospace and Automotive Products group is leading a new profitable growth opportunity with the 2018 Jeep Wrangler program. The next generation Jeep becomes the first to utilize our C6A1 high form alloy; we are currently the only supplier of this high form product. Alcoa will also supply 6022 and A951, including front and rear door inners, hood outer and inner." As Marchionne pointed out earlier this year, the 2018 Wrangler won't be made entirely out of aluminum. So Alcoa's contribution to the upcoming SUV's doors and hood could be the only components that use the lightweight metal – or Jeep could be using another aluminum supplier for other parts. Large changes lie ahead for the 2018 Wrangler, which include a pickup version, new engines, and aluminum. But we do know that the next Wrangler is that it will be built in Toledo, OH, as FCA announced plans to spend $1.05 billion to retool the Wrangler factory, while also adding another site in Illinois earlier this year.

Four Wheeler crowns Ultimate Factory 4x4... who wins?

Thu, 15 Nov 2012

Nearly every automaker doing business in the SUV or pickup truck segments offers a package designed to improve the off-road capabilities of its wares. But, of course, not all such factory kits are created equal. How, then, to separate the wheat from the chaff? Gather each of them up and put them through their paces, naturally.
The folks from Four Wheeler and PickupTrucks.com joined forces to run just such a comparison test, with the winner named the Ultimate Factory 4x4. A total of seven vehicles showed up to the fight: the 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, 2012 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X and Xterra PRO-4X, 2012 Ram Power Wagon, and 2012 Toyota 4Runner Trail and Tacoma TRD T|X Baja Series.
With the contestants in place, the whole crew put each vehicle through a battery of tests that included skidpad and acceleration measurements, a hillclimb, a rocky stairstep course and a rock garden. Considering the nature of the beasts, on-road ride and comfort were not part of the routine.
