1995 Jeep Wrangler Yj - Wow Epic Mount on 2040-cars
Kensington, Maryland, United States
4 cyl – 2.5L Manual 5 speed w/~150K miles
Recient work: Replace clutch, rear main, seal oil pan, change oil and all fluids. The transfer case was checked and resealed. The jeep is house broken. No leaks. I had it re-geared to 4:88 so it runs very well on the highway (both front and rear) axle seals were done while we had it open. Resealed the diff covers, new fluid. We painted the pumpkins orange. I seem to remember that we did the muffler and tailpipe too. One side of the emergency brake cables was stretched so it was replaced. Front breaks and rotors were done. The tires are 33” x12.5(Firestone Destination M/T ). I replaced the rusty hubs with new American Racing hubs. Tires and wheels are in great shape. The mounting plate for the winch was modified and winch properly installed. There is a lower radiator hose heater with plug in the front for winter. I put on the rugged ridge steering stabilizer which helped a lot with control on the highway. The mechanic called it death rattle, hitting bumps / potholes and bridge joints at speed is much improved. Added blue LED down lights, inside cab foot well LED lights on a dimmer & front grill light. I replaced front auxiliary lights and added two horns (for fun.) The controls are in the cab with switches for bunny burners, zombie lights and beer cooler. There is also an additional cigarette lighter and 12v 20A power circuit. New Wet Okole seat covers front and rear. Replaced windshield seal and worked to seal all leaks into the cab. It's a jeep thing. The floorboards are in exceptional condition. Undercarriage is in fantastic shape. The jeep was stored inside for most of it’s life. The Epic Mount stickers and Blizzard Entertainment stickers can be easily removed.
I put a new top and door covers on. I am pretty sure that I have the old one is in the garage. Everything I have for the jeep, old seat covers, misc door gaskets, etc come with. I didn’t know that the seat covers could be sent to the wet Okole people to be reworked rather than buying new. The jeep comes with a summer bikini top not perfect but kind of fun and a cover. Jumper cables so you can help other people assorted tools. Jeep cover. New light on the trailer hitch.
Potential issues? The previous owner reported that the AC is intermittent. I found that to be true. Sometimes it would work and sometimes not. I have not had a chance to investigate but it looks to me like the heater core was replaced. The lines get cold and I have felt cool air but it is inconsistent. Ahh, who needs AC in the jeep anyhow.
I don’t know what else to tell you. I have had a lot of fun working on the jeep and fixing it up. Most of the mechanical work was done in cooperation with a local auto shop. I wanted it to be reliable. Why am I am offering the YJ for sale? The divorce has taken it’s toll on my ability to keep my toys but my loss is your gain. If you are looking for a jeep that is in great shape then bid on this puppy. I hate to see it go but … it happens. I loaned the jeep to a friend last week. When we were putting on the top the back window zipper on the left side got stuck and is now missing a tooth or two. I am going to see if I can get the zipper back in or if I have the old back window panel. I've discounted the reserve to account for this. I drove it today and don't mind keeping it. I'd drive it anywhere (sidewalks ? :-) I see no reason this truck wouldn't go anywhere. I was driving 66 miles a day this past winter - no issues. Oh there was a little leaking that is evidently common to jeep wranglers. I think I got it figured out. Depending on your location and the final sale price I might be able to help with delivery. I have bought and sold several cars through ebay so I know what is like to get it home. Send a note if you have questions. Good luck bidding. On Jun-30-14 at 05:59:21 PDT, seller added the following information: When I went to register the milage reported previously was higher than it is currently. I asked the previous owner and he said they made a mistake in keying the odometer. I have seen the DMV do all kinds of weird keying errors so I'm inclined to go with the odometer. It is what it is. If you have questions or are nearby and want to go for a ride, let me know. Thanks for checking out my auction. On Jul-03-14 at 04:30:10 PDT, seller added the following information: Hello Bidders. Thanks again for showing interest. I never liked fishing for the reserve on big ticket items. I was not very happy about bidding against new ebay accounts with zero feedback. This is a real auction, there are listing fees, final value fees and it takes time to make the auction, post and answer questions if you have any, monitor the auction and all of that. Please be serious about your bids, bid only if you want to buy the jeep and only for as much as you are willing and able to pay. It is a wonderful vehicle and I want it to go to someone who is intereseted and make a fair deal. FYI - the reserve is set at $7500. I hope you are interested and only bid what you are willing and able to pay. Thank you. |

Jeep Wrangler Dragon Edition coming to North America
Thu, 12 Sep 2013If 2012 was the year of the dragon in China, perhaps the US can claim 2014. After showing the Jeep Wrangler Dragon Design Concept at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show, and apparently receiving "tremendously positive feedback" from Jeep enthusiasts across the globe, the automaker has decided to introduce a production version that will hit US showrooms this fall with a price of $36,095.
"The dragon symbolizes strength and power and is an aspirational character normally associated with royalty and good fortune," says Jeep, and that apparently equates to a blacked-out Wrangler Unlimited with bronze satin gloss highlights inside and out, along with big dragon decals that start on the hood and run down the fenders. There are 18-inch matte black wheels with a bronze outer edges, and a dragon-emblazoned spare tire cover completes the look.
We suggest you peruse the high-res image gallery above to see all the black and bronze detailing yourself, and make special note of the interior. In related news, all 2014 Jeep Wrangler models get an optional Trail Kit and clear park lamps to replace the previous amber units. New colors include Amp'd, Anvil, Copperhead, Flame Red, Granite Crystal and Hydro Blue (Freedom edition only), which join carryover colors Billet Silver, Bright White, Black and Dune.
Auto critic calls out Corvette, Mustang and Cherokee faithful
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Most automotive purists fear change, but not without reason. Change, after all, did kill big-block V8s, along with most station wagons and manual transmissions. But change has also brought with it far more performance, safety and fuel economy - not to mention ridding the world of shag carpet interiors, bias-ply tires and those horrible motorized seatbelts of the early '90s.
By this time next year, the Chevy Corvette, Jeep Cherokee and next-generation Ford Mustang will all be on sale and will all, in some way, have angered or offended purists. To those critics, Mark Phelan of the Detroit Free Press is preemptively telling them to stop complaining - at least until they've all been driven. From the Corvette's square taillights and the Cherokee's radical nose to whatever pony car purists will harp on the 2015 Mustang for, Phelan's column points out the positives of automotive evolution and the negatives of staying the course for too long. That's fair enough, but do you think Phelan is on point, or all wet? Head on over to the Detroit Free Press to read his words, then have your say in Comments.
Chrysler recalling 31k SUVs and vans
Fri, 06 Jun 2014Chrysler is issuing recalls covering roughly 31,700 vehicles worldwide due to two separate problems. In both cases the company believes that most of the affected vehicles are either still on, or in transit to, dealer lots.
One recall covers roughly 10,700 Dodge Durango, Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee SRT models from the 2014 model year built between January 16 and April 17, 2014. The SUVs need a software update for the cruise control. It's possible that when the cruise is on and the driver presses on the throttle, the acceleration could last a second after the pedal is released or two seconds for the SRT. Afterward, they return to the speed originally set by the driver.
Chrysler says it isn't aware of any accidents, injuries or even reported incidents of this happening in the real world. Also, in all cases, if the driver presses on the brake, the cruise shuts off. The automaker believes that there are about 6,100 affected SUVs in the US, 950 in Canada, 425 in Mexico and 3,200 outside of North America. The software upgrade will be ready shortly, the company says.
