1978 Jeep CJ5 4x4 Project. Jeep purchases in July of 2010. It was running and driven on the street. I decided to clean it up and make some "upgrades. Jeep is equipped with a 360 cubic inch V8 engine. Body is a fiberglass replacement tub along with the front fenders and fender wells. The hood and front grill are original steel. The original ignition was removed and a single wire Mallory HEI system with 8mm wires was installed along with new spark plugs. The original Mopar alternator and regulator was replaced with a one wire Delco alternator. The original wire harness was replaced with a Kwik Wire system which includes a new fuse panel and relays. Engine has headers and a customer made 3" dual pipes that exit just after the rear axle. Four brand new Ranchero 9000 series shocks are installed. New mirror kits, hood hinges and hood latches and new dash. Tires are 31 x 10.5 x 15 on white wagon wheels. Tires are like brand new. Jeep has a custom made steel angle iron rear bumper with tow ball. Seats are from a new style Jeep that we were going to modify to fit in the CJ. Original old style Jeep steering wheel. Included is a brand new master cylinder and booster to give you power brakes. A complete set of new stainless brake lines from Classic Tube. A brand new set of Autometer white faced retro gauges. A steel gas tank. A box of spare parts. The two steel lines in the spare parts kit we were using for the fuel lines. This is a project piece so the Jeep currently is not in running condition. The wiring to the engine compartment along with the head and tail lights is complete. The following needs to be done: gas tank with fuel lines, interior wiring, brake system including lines and booster with master cylinder, seats, roof and doors. We worked on this on and off for a year. We just don't have the time to finish it. Send me a TEXT message if you are instated in it. 732-754-3980. You will be responsible to come and tow it away.

2015 Ford F-150 named Truck of Texas, Lincoln and Jeep also awarded at Truck Rodeo
Tue, 14 Oct 2014The Ford Motor Company has a lot of reasons to celebrate after winning eight categories in this year's Texas Auto Writers Association's annual Truck Rodeo. Most important among them, the Blue Oval's latest 2015 Ford F-150 earned the prestigious Truck of Texas award, ending the Ram 1500's two-year winning streak. The 2015 Lincoln MKC also grabbed the honor as the CUV of Texas, and Ford was named Truck Line of Texas.
FoMoCo even took trophies for best technology with its extensive use of aluminum on its latest F-Series and best commercial vehicle for the new Transit 250. It wasn't a total sweep, though, because the Jeep Grand Cherokee grabbed the title of the SUV of Texas for the fifth straight time.
This year's event put 60 auto writers in 75 pickups, SUVs and crossovers and challenged them to find the best in a plethora of categories. All of the winners are listed below, and scroll down to read the full announcements from the Texas Auto Writers Association and Ford.
Jeep Cherokee joins Altitude trim line
Wed, 22 Jan 2014Jeep fans spoke up last year by naming the Altitude trim level, and the automaker rewarded them with an assortment of cool Jeeps sporting a sinister, blacked-out appearance. Joining the ranks of Jeep models offering an Altitude trim level is the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, and this might be the best looking of the new Cherokees - including the Trailhawk.
Like the previous versions of this model, the 2014 Cherokee Altitude adds black wheels and exterior trim and molding, and it's only offered in four colors: black, silver, white and granite (shown above). You definitely have to love the look of the black accents since the Altitude raises the Cherokee's price by $2,000 to a starting MSRP of $24,995 (not including destination). Jeep says that the 2014 Cherokee Altitude is a limited-edition model, but there is no mention of any specific production figures.
Joining the new Cherokee Altitude are the updated versions of the Grand Cherokee Altitude and Wrangler Altitude with similar limited color combinations and pricier MSRPs starting at $35,290 and $31,595, respectively. These three new Altitude models will go on sale this spring joining the Compass Altitude and Patriot Altitude, which are on sale now. Scroll down for more info on the updated 2014 Jeep Altitude lineup.
Jeep idles second shift it hired a month ago for 2014 Cherokee
Tue, 24 Sep 2013In an unusual move, Chrysler is idling its recently hired second shift of 2014 Jeep Cherokee builders because, Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson said in a statement, it already has built the "critical number of vehicles we need to stock dealerships once containment is released," Automotive News reports.
After the "critical" 9,430 Cherokees were built, the layoff was enacted so as not to strain the automaker's logistics partners before the Cherokee is actually released. Chrysler says the temporary layoff will last about two weeks, with 500 workers out of work and another 600 reassigned at the Toledo Assembly Complex where the sports utility vehicle was being built. The second-shift workers were hired on August 19.
Chrysler previously insisted that it would release the Cherokee to dealerships by the end of the third quarter, and it initially planned to start selling the SUVs in mid-August. Apparently the Cherokee needed a software fix before hitting showrooms, which is how Chrysler explains why the release schedule is out of whack. We're thinking that this software fix addresses the "powertrain calibration" issue that delayed the first media test drives of the model. According to the Toledo Blade, Chrysler has admitted it is doing "extended quality validation testing" but refused to provide more information.
