I bought this Jeep all most a year ago as a vehicle just to have fun with and fix up. Due to health issues I'm not able to do all the things that I have wanted to do with it. If I could I would keep it because it is a fun vehicle to drive and it gets a lot of compliments. I have only put a few hundred miles on it since I have owned it because currently it is not registered or insured. With the carburetor problem that I described above, it might or might not pass smog. I haven't had the carburetor fixed yet due to my health problems and lack of money to get it done. I haven't taken this Jeep off road but I have engaged the four wheel drive to test it and it seems to work just fine. Both the engine and transmission seem to be in good mechanical condition. The clutch feels real strong and shifting through the gears is very smooth. The Jeep has power steering that works well too. The prior owner installed a new 12,000 pound winch that has not been used yet and a new CB radio that is a good quality radio with a lot of functions on it. There is a new bikini top and half doors that are shown in the pictures. There is no full soft top but I do have the metal frame for one. There is a nice custom made full roll cage for added safety. There is almost no rust at all on this Jeep which is unusual for its age. The only rust I have found is just a little bit on the inside of the hood. The body, for the most part is straight. It has some very small dents here and there. I painted the entire body in camouflage which has received many compliments. There appears to be about three areas on the body that have had some bondo work done. The CJ 5 is a small type of body and is well known for being one of the best four wheel drive vehicles. I think after the carburetor is fixed this could easily be a reliable daily driver vehicle or a fantastic hunters Jeep.

Jeep Wrangler Copper Crawler is our idea of a restrained Mopar shopping spree
Thu, 07 Nov 2013According to a recent report, the Jeep Wrangler is the most popular SUV for customization, and this is backed up by the fact that the iconic off-roader was just named the Hottest 4x4-SUV at SEMA for the fourth year in a row. Looking for ways to keep its customers in-house rather than going aftermarket, Jeep and Mopar are always teaming to offer exciting new parts and pieces for the JK Wrangler.
Compared to most other Wranglers on display at SEMA - as well as other Chrysler Mopar SEMA concepts - the Jeep Wrangler Copper Crawler is surprisingly reserved, but should be no less exciting for owners to give their Wrangler a distinctive look. Starting off with an eye-catching copper paint scheme, the Jeep then goes on a Mopar catalog shopping spree with its matte black grille, black beadlock wheels, two-inch lift, Rubicon bumper (with a winch and aero end caps up front) and rocker panel and taillight guards.
Jeep also upgraded the Wrangler's transfer case for low-speed rock crawling (hence the vehicle's name) and cold-air intake for extra measure.
Chrysler investigating complaints of vehicles with faulty power modules
Sun, 24 Aug 2014Chrysler owners are hopping mad after experiencing a series of electrical gremlins in some of the company's vehicles. Issues range from mere annoyances - windows rolling down and radios turning off of their own accord - to serious safety issues, with headlights that randomly shut off at night and cars that stall and refuse to start.
The issues are being blamed on the total integrated power module, which can cost up to $1,000 for customers to replace. This, of course, has led to a hefty batch of complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with 240 owners expressing their displeasure so far. Another site, CarComplaints.com, has registered over 300 complaints relating to the 2010 to 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango, alone, according to The New York Times.
Chrysler has acknowledged that it's investigating the complaints and is analyzing the faulty TIPMs, but that isn't quite enough for customers of the affected vehicles. The newspaper has snagged a few of the more harrowing tales with the electrically challenged Chrysler products, culled from the NHTSA complaints.
What's really going on with the 2014 Jeep Cherokee's transmission issues?
Fri, 27 Sep 2013On September 23, Automotive News reported that Chrysler had idled the second shift workers it hired just five weeks prior at its Toledo Assembly Complex to build the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. At the time, Chrysler said it had "built the critical number of vehicles we need to stock dealerships once containment is released" and did not want "to put additional strain on our logistics partners ... upon release." That reasoning was not only unusual, it didn't seem to make sense.
It appears the center of the nine-speed issue is software, not hardware.
That same day, the Detroit News ran a piece claiming workers at the Toledo factory said the halt was due to issues with the Cherokee's transmission. It put the number of already-built Cherokees needing fixes at 1,000 and said that some of the workers not laid off had been instructed "to take the Jeep on long test-drives." That made more sense. Three days later, on September 26, Automotive News reported that the 500 workers laid off had been reinstated, with engineers "speeding repairs on the SUV's powertrain software." The AN piece didn't put a number on how many units are being fixed, but it did say that 12,000 have been built and are awaiting delivery to dealers. The best it could say about when dealers will get them, however, is that "progress on a fix is being made. It's unclear when shipments to dealers will start."
