Early 1967  Kaiser Willys CJ5 Dauntless V-6. I collect antique trucks and acquired the truck a few years ago and what attracted me initially was it is one of the few left that was not modified and the condition was exceptional for its age. I have installed a few parts. The truck has 5 brand new tires Firestone Destination M/T 235/75/15, 4 new leaf springs and bushings, clamps and Bolts. I still have original parts if buyer wants them. New tie rods and ball joint ends. Clutch arm and linkage has been replaced. 4 new shocks and headlights. Original factory installed engine 225 cu has a fresh set of wires, plugs, cap/rotor etc... Heater box has been cleaned, coils cleaned and painted and heat works excellent. Exterior of Jeep has been painted the original color before I acquired the truck. Not a great paint job, although steel is all solid and it is the original color green. Undercarriage is mostly very solid as are the floor boards except one small corner on passenger side has minor pitting but still solid. a few floor supports could also be replaced * Please see photo.  The interior is 100% original. The seats are in fair shape for there age, still pliable and back seat is in fair condition with one minor rip on top corner. The gauges are original as is the wiring harness. I installed a new Key Ignition switch and replacement the choke cable. It comes with an older soft top in good condition. I drive the truck locally and it will drive at 60Mph no problem, the ride is like a 67 CJ5 with new springs.  The radial tires help achieve a decent ride, backed by the V-6 Dauntless. Behind the Dauntless is a original 3 speed T86 Transmission which shifts good * I have not replaced the throw out bearing and may need in future due to occasional minor noise when clutch is depressed. Clutch grabs nice. All fluids have been replaced including differentials. The truck is very original and I am not advertizing it as mint condition, the truck is in good condition. There are improvements that the new owner could make but the original condition and low miles make this truck very unique.  The engine runs like new, no smoke, oil burning or leaking and is probably the best attribute of the truck. There are a few minor seepage leaks underneath such as diff. seals but not much. Good original solid Steel Body CJ5 Willy's. It looks amazing and turns a lot of heads and is very fun to drive. Good luck bidding! Thank you

NHTSA investigating why Jeep recall fix is taking so long

Mon, 07 Jul 2014

Jeep's saga with the National Traffic Safety Administration and the voluntary campaign to repair 1.56 million vehicles for allegedly unsafe trailer hitches, is getting yet another chapter. The controversy appeared to finally be over in January when the automaker found a supplier for the replacement parts. Nothing is ever that easy, though, and the government regulator is now requesting documents from the company to clarify why the repairs are taking so long to begin.
Jeep parent company Chrysler has until July 16 to submit documents and answers to NHTSA explaining the situation. The regulator claims that despite its compromise to inspect and repair the models with improper hitches in June 2013, Chrysler didn't find a part supplier until December and didn't order the replacements until January. The government agency believes that the first components weren't manufactured until May of this year and vehicles may not actually be repaired until as late as August. According to the report, if the Chrysler doesn't supply what NHTSA is asking for, the agency could "take additional appropriate action as warranted."
Throughout this entire process, Chrysler has asserted that the vehicles met the applicable crash test standards of the time, and it has kept NHTSA abreast of the repair activity. In a recently released statement it said that the regulator analyzed eight rear impact reconstruction tests and found the replacement hitch to be safe. To keep up with the high demand for replacements, Chrysler is working with multiple suppliers, and they are running three shifts, six days a week to get the parts ready as soon as possible.

2014 Jeep Cherokee facing production delay

Fri, 17 May 2013

Jeep's bold-faced new direction spearheaded by the 2014 Cherokee is facing some teething issues. According to a report by the Detroit Free Press, production start-up of the controversial new utility vehicle at its Toledo North facility is running about a month behind schedule "due to a wide range of issues." That's according to Mark Chernoby, senior vice president of engineering at Chrysler.
Chernoby maintains that the issues being encountered aren't unusual for the launch of a new vehicle - particularly one with a new powertrain - and he downplayed the delay, telling Jeep dealers that they "will have ample inventory of the midsize SUV by fall." Among the kinks being worked out? Calibrating the Cherokee's cutting-edge ZF nine-speed automatic transmission and refining assembly line tasks to make the process more efficient.
Chrysler expects to start building retail-ready versions of the Cherokee around mid-June, with official sales slated to start in September.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
