Today.. It pains me (literally) to offer this last year of a legend.. Jeep CJ7.... LAREDO!!  for you consideration.  I recently sold my classic Jeepster of 10+ years to buy this. 2 days after I bought it I learned I need to have another surgery.  I looked for a long time to find one this clean and in this color combination.  This one is incredibly rust free and has super low miles.. 57,000.   If you have been searching for a clean Laredo with low miles.. and priced to sell.. Here is the break you've been waiting for.  I see these going for giant $$ on here in this kind of condition.. and I paid real money, but I must price this to sell, not just for you to drool over. This is a 2 owner Jeep.  The original owner lived on a ranch and obviously treated it well.  The guy I bought it from owned it for about 3 years.. He had a new Ford Raptor truck, this was in the garage.. The new truck wasn't.   Please study the pictures carefully.  Understand that while I would definitely call it a cream puff.. It is not new.  It appears to be all original and in excellent condition.. but be realistic in your expectations, and understand that it is a 28 year old Jeep.  Ask any and all questions before bidding.  If possible, I encourage you to view it in person and can help accommodate you.  I can also take pictures of any part of the vehicle you want and text or email them to you.  Now onto some details.

Body and Paint:

It appears to be all original body panels and paint.  I see no evidence of any paint work or repair.  With the exception of the hood, which has faded, the paint looks incredible.  Still has lots of luster and is very pleasing to the eye.  Looking down the sides it is very straight.  It has very few door dings.  It does have a small dent on the forward side of each front fender.. very minor, and is visible in the pictures.  The rear of the vehicle is amazing.  Pretty close to new looking.  The interior floors have the original paint and it is still covering the metal very well.  The underside is just as pleasing.  There are light scraches in the paint from brush or trees that should polish out fine.. they may not show in the pictures and are not very noticeable in person.  The doors are in great shape, no cracks.  The top is in excellent shape too.  No rust on the bottom edge of the rear hatch... Doors open and close perfect.  Windows function perfect. It locks. No visible rust ANYWHERE!!

Interior:

I would say its in line with the exterior condition.. Original seat upholstery is perfect, original carpets are in such good shape its hard to believe.  So are the door panels, dash, console, gauges, and all of the weather stripping with the exception of the exterior door window rubber.  Wow!!!  Love that red/black contrast!!

Mechanically:

I didn't get a chance to drive it much.. about 20 miles.  It is the most impressive driving Jeep I have driven.  It is quiet, smooth.  It shifts through all 5 forward gears well and reverse. There are no obvious problems.. other than it seemed like it skated around a little bit.. I believe this is because it has 33x9.50 tires and the Jeep was likely never aligned after it was lifted..  The inside tread bar is noticeably worn.  I would recommend new tires and an alignment.  The tires are showing age too.  As mentioned, it was lifted at some point.  It appears to have been done well.  Has Bilstein shocks on all 4 corners.  Rides nice for a lifted Jeep.  Again, better than any ive driven... or ridden in.   The choke stays on till its up to temp, and thats a little annoying.  It hasn't leaked a drop my garage floor, but does appear that the valve cover gasket is leaking a little.  The previous owner supplied me with a new gasket.. and a new in the box Jeep valve cover.. I think its just a fancier one.  All electrics are working well with the exception of the tach.  I did spot a disconnected wire at the ignition coil, im thinking that might be the culprit.  It has a nice looking fuel tank, a hitch and a winch with the remote.  Just SWEET!

Summary:

A rare opportunity indeed.  The last year of a legendary vehicle in a great color and the top of line trim package.. Laredo!  A rust free survivor in excellent shape.  You won't be disappointed with this one.  It is priced to sell.. So bid now, watch for the reserve to be met.. Then bid to win!!  Ebay members with less than 5 feedback, please message me before bidding or I may choose to cancel your bid.. BE SERIOUS.. AND BE READY TO OWN THIS AMAZING CLASSIC CJ7 LAREDO.

Chrysler delays 2014 Jeep Cherokee media launch

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

Chrysler is making the unusual move of delaying the first media drives of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, which were slated to start next week in Seattle. And while something like this is a rare occurrence, and one that most of the Autoblog staff can't recall happening this publicly or so close to the event itself, it won't effect the actual on-sale date of the new Cherokee, which is set to hit showrooms in September.
"Over the last couple of weeks during final quality and durability testing, we have discovered the opportunity to further improve powertrain calibration," Chrysler told Automotive News. This marks the second notable delay in the Cherokee's short life, after production was delayed for roughly a month earlier this summer.
Still, we'd rather Chrysler make sure the Cherokee is ready for primetime before flying media in from around the country. It shows a willingness to get things right the first time, rather than offering media drives and then tweaking the car after the fact.

GMC boss wants a Jeep Wrangler rival

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

Challengers come and challengers go, but the Jeep Wrangler continues to push forward even after vehicles like the Toyota FJ Cruiser and the entire Hummer brand have been shut down. Now GMC reportedly wants to take a stab at the quintessential Jeep, as well.
The news comes directly from Buick-GMC vice president Duncan Aldred, speaking with our compatriots over at Edmunds. Although Aldred said there are no plans currently on the table to expand GMC's lineup beyond the current range, "there is plenty of room everywhere in the hierarchy."
That could include a rival to the Wrangler, as well as a flagship luxury SUV positioned above the current Yukon Denali (pictured above). Just when (or for that matter, if) such models might come into fruition remains a big question mark, but it's certainly interesting to see what GM's dedicated truck brand has on the drawing board.
