1979 Jeep CJ5 with clear title. Jeep is mostly in pieces and is not complete. You are bidding on axles, frame, full steel body, roll cage, seats and brackets, transmission and transfer case in need of rebuild, wiring harness for the tub, speedometer, wheels and lots of small parts. NO ENGINE. I do not see the vin tag on the body but may be covered by the undercoating. May not be there. There is a vin number on the dash panel. The dash panel has been cut and bent through this tag, making it hard to see. There is no way to know the true mileage but ebay made me enter a number so I used 300,000. Title is marked unknown mileage.
I bought this jeep with another and put one together and this is what is left over. It will need a LOT of work to get on the road.
The axles are amc 20 rear and dana front and appear to be in very good shape but I have never used them. I do not know the gear ratio but the axles were a set. No brake drums on the rear. No brake lines. Spring perches are mounted on top of axles for lift. The frame is very solid but has been covered in heavy diamond plate steel from just in front of the rear forward spring mounts back (about half the frame) and has been painted. I assume the frame was rusted in the back but I did not do the repair so I do not know for sure. Springs in good shape but needs bushings as there is one missing. The tub appears to be from an older jeep as it has the tool box under the passenger seat. (might explain the absence of the vin tag). There is surface rust on the tub but it is not rotted out. Even the tool box floor is there, although it has a crack that will need welded. I do not know if there has been previous work done on the body. You will need to do some body work to be nice but this is a good body to work with. There has been some modifying on the tub to alter the front body mounts but does not alter structure that I can tell (see pictures). No tailgate and the fuel tank is in the back. You will need a body mount kit. Fenders are nice and grill is fair and not rusted out. Windshield frames (2) are rusted through but could be patched and used. No glass. Roll bar is straight and not rusted. There is a steering column but is missing parts. Uses a GM column. Foot pedals are there but no e-brake. Front seats are 2 brand new corbeau 5 point harness but have a couple minor tears from being moved around (see pics). Also a nice aftermarket fold and tumble rear with no brackets (or you could have my black and white Laredo rear seat from my driver and I'll keep the fold and tumble, you choose). Also a set of cheap plastic racing seats in good shape included for a total of 5 seats. Transmission is a T-150 and needs rebuilt. The transfer case is a dana 20 and might be ok but will need checked out. Please assume the transfer case is no good and will need rebuilt. No top at all. No radiator. No drive shafts. No steering box or shaft. 31 x 10.50 tires are not road worthy but do hold air. Wheels are nice but need painted and are wider than stock so you could probably mount 12.50's on them but I don't know for sure.
You will need a trailer or flat bed truck to take this home. I will not ship it. Please ask any questions and I will try to answer as best I can. If you need more pictures let me know. Thanks for looking!

2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4X4
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Ice skates are spectacular on frozen water, yet they are dreadful everyday footwear. I consider the Jeep Wrangler equally as specialized.
I recently spent a week with a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4X4. Introduced for the 2007 model year, the Wrangler Unlimited is a standard JK two-door with 20.6 inches added to its wheelbase and two additional doors bolted to its passenger compartment. While Jeep offers the Unlimited in seven different trim levels, the desirable Rubicon is the most capable when the pavement ends, as it boasts a slew of hardcore off-road tools including front and rear electronic locking differentials and a front sway bar that can be disengaged at the touch of a button for improved articulation. My I-Look-Like-A-Traffic-Cone test model started with a base price of $34,095 (plus $995 destination). Options including a five-speed automatic transmission, Uconnect, tow package and a premium soft top, drove the bottom line up to $38,630.
Driving Notes
Jeep Wrangler diesel likely after 2015 model refresh
Thu, 28 Feb 2013We automotive journalists aren't always the right people to ask about whether a US-spec vehicle should or should not be offered with a diesel powertrain (hint: the answer is usually "YES"). But when it comes to the iconic, off-road-ready Jeep Wrangler, we aren't the only ones who have been clamoring for an oil-burning engine behind that famous seven-slat grille. To that end, it appears there's good news on the horizon, as Jeep CEO Mike Manley recently told Ward's Auto that the "Wrangler is on the radar to get (a) diesel."
"I'm confident that the Grand Cherokee will show just how large a demand there is for diesel, and I think what that will do is reinforce the need for us to target Wrangler as a vehicle that can take a diesel," Manley told Ward's. The most rugged of Jeeps is scheduled to get an overhaul around 2015-16, and the diesel powertrain will likely be introduced around that time.
This year alone, Chrysler will be adding a diesel engine to the Grand Cherokee SUV, as well as the Ram 1500 pickup and Promaster utility van.
Europe gets Jeep Wrangler Polar limited edition
Wed, 04 Sep 2013Jeep will be bringing an all-new, limited-edition model to the European market called the Wrangler Polar. Based on the Wrangler Sahara and set to make its debut at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Wrangler Polar sports new Hyrdro Blue paint, gloss black 18-inch wheels, a body-color hardtop, and the regular mix of Mopar styling accessories. Billet Silver Metallic and Bright White are available for those that don't dig the glossy blue, while a two-door variant will be available in addition to the four-door pictured above.
The Polar's interior features similar tweaks; Pearl White contrast stitching can be found on both the seats and steering wheel, while ceramic White bezels and other accents give a nice contrasting look to the cabin.
Underhood sits an engine that should make American Wrangler enthusiasts weep - a 2.8-liter, four-cylinder turbodiesel. With 200 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque channeled through a five-speed automatic transmission, the Wrangler Polar should handle itself just fine on normal roads. British buyers will also be able to select the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6. For rougher stuff, Dana axles can be found front and rear (Dana 30 up front and Dana 44 in back), while the Command-Trac four-wheel-drive system and its two-speed transfer case should be enough for when the roads disappear.
