Very Nice 74 Jeep Cj5 100% Restored on 2040-cars
Rifle, Colorado, United States
|
I finished this Jeep 2 years ago and have used it mainly during hunting season since and a few camping trips. Very low miles on restore. I have a lot of time in this Jeep as I started building it at the axles. Everything was new when it was built. Everything is either new or rebuilt to new. I will list what it has starting from the ground up.
-Dana 44 scout II rear axle with Yukon 5.38 ring and pinion, ARB air locker, moser axle shafts and disc brake conversion. (All parts were new) -Dana 44 Chevy front axle narrowed to match scout rear end, parts mike inner knuckles aligned and welded. No sleeves or welded joints in the tube like most people do. Yukon 5.38 ring and pinion, ARB air locker, moser chromoly axle shafts, ford hub assembly for 5 lug with disc brakes, warn premium hubs, hi steer steering arms, cross over steering.

Grill, windshield frame, dash is powder coated gloss black, fenders hood and tail gate have a powder coat primer then paint and clear coat.

Everyone that drives this jeep can't believe how solid it is with no rattles or squeaks. It drives extremely well for what it is. I have drove it on the interstate and it handles great at speed. No death wobble or vibration. Like I said this was not a junk yard build everything was new when built and I have most receipts to back it up. |

2016 Jeep Wrangler to ditch solid axles to save weight?
Tue, 29 Oct 2013Hey, Jeep fans. If you think the idea of a funky-looking, car-based Cherokee revival is offensive, have a listen to what might be in store for the next-gen Jeep Wrangler. Automotive News is reporting that as Jeep develops the 2016 Wrangler, weight reduction is a crucial target, and the Wrangler's rugged solid axles could be sacrificed in the name of better fuel economy.
We've already heard the next Wrangler will go on a serious diet using aluminum body panels and an air suspension system, so the idea of a four-wheel independent suspension setup for this OG SUV isn't all that surprising. Besides, it's not like an independent suspension would limit the Wrangler's off-road abilities - just check out the Hummer H1. In fact, it might be the aftermarket parts companies - not Wrangler enthusiasts - who would be most disappointed by such a drastic suspension change, as the article states that the Wrangler's solid axles and coil-link suspension make it the most popular SUV for customization.
There are probably still a couple years before we'll start hearing any concrete details about the 2016 Wrangler, at which time it will be interesting to see how stricter fuel economy and crash safety regulations have been balanced with traditional Wrangler cues like its removable doors and roof and folding windshield. Let us know in the comments below if a Wrangler sans solid axles is any less of a Wrangler.
2014 Jeep Cherokee: June 2014
Wed, 09 Jul 2014I got a text message from Editor-In-Chief Sharon Carty one afternoon proclaiming that her new favorite SUV is our long-term 2014 Jeep Cherokee. And she's not alone. I'm not sure if anyone else on staff would go so far as to use the "favorite" descriptor, but after just over a month of honeymooning with our new long-termer, it's safe to say that the Jeep is quickly finding its way into the good graces of a number of Autoblog staffers.
There's good reason for all that praise, too. Thus far, the Jeep has proven itself to be incredibly competent and comfortable for daily life - it's functional, quiet, and packed with a host of amenities that make it easy to live with. It's been wholly trouble-free (with less than 4,000 miles on the clock as of this writing, it ought to be), but even nitpicks have been few and far between.
Chrysler recalling nearly 141k vehicles over electrical woes
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Software glitches that randomly illuminate warning lights and cause instrument cluster blackouts are forcing Chrysler to recall 140,800 vehicles, The Detroit News reports. The automaker is recalling 132,000 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokees, 91,559 of which are in the US. In addition to the Jeep recalls, Chrysler is adding 10,800 2014 Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 trucks to the list for similar problems.
Chrysler reportedly says, "Both events occurred infrequently and appeared to resolve themselves by tuning the vehicle's ignition off and then on."
Engineers discovered a problem with the anti-lock-braking system software that causes the instrument cluster display of the Grand Cherokee to illuminate warning lights and black out - even its ABS and electronic stability control systems are affected. To fix the Jeeps, Chrysler will update the vehicle's software.
