Jeep Cj5 4x4 on 2040-cars

Year:1981 Mileage:126500
Location:

Marshall, North Carolina, United States

Marshall, North Carolina, United States

Frame off restoration. Back half of frame is rebuilt with 2x4 box tubing.  1045 1 1/4 dom tubing rock sliders run down the sides. It is way stronger and safer than when new. New floorboards. 
Came factory with the General Motors 2.5liter 4 cyl Iron Duke.     
It's got factory power steering and power disc brakes, both work great. It's also got factory front swaybar. 
I installed a new clutch, slave cylinder when I had it all apart. 
4X4 works great.
Horn, wipers and all the lights work.  Speedo and voltmeter work.  Fuel Gauge doesn't work.  
I installed a new fuel sending unit in the tank when it was all apart too.  Fuel gauge is all it needs.  I might have it fixed by the end of the action.   
There are no duster covers made for the CJ5 that I know of so I adapted a CJ7 cover to fit it. That and the bikini top are all the top it's got. 
I bought it with the Virginia title signed by previous owner, buyer slot is blank and ready for you to sign.  


On Aug-23-14 at 07:16:02 PDT, seller added the following information:

I was kidding when I said 'Mud or rock abrasions' for trim.  Body is really straight, has no rust of bondo and has a new tough acrylic enamel paint job.

Also engine seems to be in good shape.  Doesn't leak or burn oil.  Good compression, spark plugs look older but ok.  Oil looks good.
Does need a tuneup.  Idles a little rougher than it should and likes to die when you pull up to a stop sometimes.
I'll fix this stuff if I have to but would rather give someone else a good deal if they can fix the little stuff.

Chrysler recalling 644k more Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs over brakes

Wed, 02 Apr 2014

Early last month, we reported on Chrysler issuing a preemptive, proactive recall for about 25,000 units of the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango. The issue revolved around a brake system that wasn't causing any actual problems, but delivered an unsatisfactory brake feel, so Auburn Hills called in a good 25,000 of SUVs around the world, including 18,700 in the United States.
Now Chrysler, having apparently determined that the brake problem on its sport utes is actually much bigger than it initially realized, has drastically broadened the scope of the recall. As a result, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for precisely 655,354 examples of the Grand Cherokee and Durango, covering the 2011 through 2014 model years. In addition, Chrysler is recalling 42,380 units in Canada, 21,376 in Mexico and 159,685 overseas.
The problem which Chrysler found revolves around the brake booster, whose center shell has been found to be subject to corrosion, allowing water to get into the brake system. That water in turn could freeze, preventing the brakes from working as well as expected.

Jeep Cherokee appears in Chrysler's second Super Bowl spot

Mon, 03 Feb 2014

The second of three spots produced by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles for this year's Super Bowl featured the all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee. Aired during the game's half time show, the minute-long ad didn't strike as anything new or innovative from an automaker with a reputation for above average Super Bowl spots, but it did show the controversially styled Cherokee in the best light possible.
Called Restless, the commercial shows young, adventurous types doing the sorts of things that young, adventurous types do: surfing, skateboarding, cliff jumping, staring off into the sky with a pensive expression, etc. Scroll down to watch Restless for yourself and let us know in Comments if Jeep managed to hold your attention during half time.

Jeep Cherokee faces on-sale delay

Sat, 23 Mar 2013

A report in The Wall Street Journal looks at some of the obstacles to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee that go beyond its mootable yet "very contemporary" looks, almost all of them based on Fiat's financial position. Starting with that sheetmetal, in defense of it SRT president Ralph Gilles and Jeep design head Mark Allen said they wanted to "make sure the design still looks modern five years from now."
The WSJ piece doesn't cite longevity as a factor, instead saying that its features originated in a design for an Alfa Romeo, the transformation into a Jeep design meant allowing Chrysler get it to market more quickly and save "hundreds of millions of dollars" in engineering.
The need for Fiat to save money while it weathers the European situation has cut budgets for development, engineering and the pace of retooling the Toledo, Ohio plant to build the Cherokee. In a familiar case of snowballing at work, among the effects will be pushing back the Cherokee's volume sales date and delaying updates to some of Chrysler's other products.
