This is a project Jeep that I am listing for a friend of mine.  I don't usually do this, but the reserve price that he wants on this Jeep is so low that the winning bidder could part it out and still be okay.  It has a 258 inline 6 cylinder engine that runs good.  It was tuned up last fall with a new valve cover gasket and new radiator installed.  The Jeep does not have a transmission installed now.  It has the factory 4-speed, aluminum case transmission that 2nd gear messed up in along with a good factory transfer case.  The Jeep also has another good 3-speed transmission and transfer case out of a CJ-5 that is included with the Jeep.  The frame on this Jeep is rust-free.  The  tub has some rust in the floor pans and a couple of places in each rocker panel.  The Jeep has power steering and power disc  brakes.  The back seat is included with the Jeep along with all the seat belts.  The hardtop has slight damage on the passengers side, but I think a body man with fiberglass knowledge could repair it pretty easy.  The tailgate and hatch are perfect.  The doors and all glass is good.  All the heater controls are still in the Jeep.  It has 15X8 steel wheels.  It has a spring over conversion on the front axle, but the rear hasn't been done yet.  All the drive shafts, crossmembers and bolts are in the back of the Jeep.  This Jeep isn't too far gone that it couldn't be restored or the transmission and transfer case installed and driven as is.  Feel free to ask anything and I will answer to the best of my knowledge.  If I don't know the answer, I will find out and get back to you within one day of your question.  Thanks for looking and happy bidding.

Jeep Cherokee Trail Carver is a more rugged Trailhawk

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

We briefly mentioned the Jeep Cherokee Trail Carver that was heading to SEMA last week when discussing the Mopar lineup set to be shown in Las Vegas. At the time, though, we weren't able to dive too deeply into details. But with SEMA in full swing, we were able to sneak over and grab some snaps of one of the first modified Cherokees we've seen. The Cherokee is, after all, kind of an unknown quantity in the modification department, being so new and featuring such a polarizing design. We were quite interested to see what Mopar could come up with.
Starting with the Trailhawk 4x4 and its 3.2-liter V6, the engine is fitted with a Mopar cold-air intake and a new exhaust, although it's not clear what sort of power boost has resulted. We'll admit, we were hoping Jeep and Mopar would get a bit more aggressive with the Cherokee's suspension (has anyone thrown a few-inch lift on the new Jeep yet?), but there's no mention of upgrades beyond the knobby, off-road tires. Those should do some good when the going gets rough, while rock rails are there to protect the Auburn Pearl paint on the body.
Speaking of that paint, it's complemented by an interesting graphics package in contrasting black and Crush Orange. The cabin sports Katzkin Amaretto leather seats, along with tech-friendly items like a wireless charging system for cellphones and wireless internet.

Jeep Grand Cherokee in headliner fire probe

Fri, 23 Aug 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching an investigation into 146,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs from the 2012 model year, The Detroit News reports. This comes as the result of the government safety agency receiving three complaints from owners who cited fires inside the Jeep's cabin.
According to the report, NHTSA says:
"The customers reported a burning odor and visible smoke coming from the headliner while the vehicle was being driven. This was followed by flames from the headliner itself. Customers lowered the windows in an effort to clear the smoke but this increased the fire's intensity. All three vehicles had to be extinguished with a fire extinguisher or by the fire department as they continued to burn after the vehicle was turned off."

Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango to lose color options temporarily

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

In the market for a Jeep Grand Cherokee or Dodge Durango? Well, if you fancy a more expressive color for your new SUV, you'd better get your order in, or plan on waiting until well into 2015.
The SUVs will be limited to just four monochromatic shades - black, white, silver and gray - until at least February, thanks to an upgrade to the paint shop at the two vehicles' Jefferson North factory. For the Grand Cherokee, that means it's losing more than half its color palette while the Durango is dropping two-thirds of its color catalog.
The loss of colors is inconvenient, but the upgrade will have a slightly bigger effect on the overall supply of SUVs, as Chrysler will need to end its relentless build pace at the factory for a three-week shutdown starting on December 22. The good news for fans of the SUVs is that once the work is completed, we should see a gradual expansion of the color palettes for both the Durango and Grand Cherokee, beyond even what's offered now.
