1978 Jeep Cherokee Base Sport Utility 2-door 4.2l on 2040-cars
Maple Shade, New Jersey, United States
|
Here is a classic 1978 Jeep Cherokee 4X4.This Jeep has been sitting for a few years.The previous owner stopped driving it daily after purchasing a new car.He did start it now and then but basically let it sit hoping to restore it. I was able to purchase the truck after he realized he would probably never have the time to work on it.He shared many fond memories about the Jeep as he reluctantly parted with it.I put some fresh gas in it,charged the battery and it fired right up with no smoke or noises.I drove it home about ten miles with no problems.It is equipped with the legendary 258cu.in. 6 cylinder and a 3 speed manual trans.It also has power steering,power disc brakes and Warn locking hubs,The brakes and clutch feel good.The transfer case,hubs,and four wheel drive work smoothly.The odometer shows 57,712mi.The title shows 255,400mi.I am not sure of the true mileage.The body still wears 90% of its original paint!There is obviously some significant lower body rust especially in the rear quarter panels.Much of the rear quarter rust could be covered by installing the factory type wheelwell flares.One of the tailgate hinges are broken but you can open and close the gate. The floors have rust at some of the seams and a small sheetmetal patch near the driver seat.The frame looks solid but it is scaly and crusty near the rear bumper and hitch area.The front bench seat has been replaced with buckets.The original rear seat is in great condition.The headliner is falling and the carpets are shot.The dash and components are in decent shape.This is a project truck that needs restoring!It would need a good going over before driving any serious distance.The belts,hoses,tires should be replaced due to age.The lights,signals,heater,defroster,wipers,guages,and even the power tailgate window all work! I have the original owners manual and a service book. This is a project truck being sold as is with a clear NJ title.

Total auto recalls already on record pace in 2014
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you've noticed that there have been more recalls than usual this year, you may be on to something. According to a report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the US market is on pace to break a record for recalls. In 2013, 22 million cars were recalled. We're only a third of the way through 2014, though, and we've already halved that figure, with 11 million units recalled. That's wild.
Considering the past few months, it shouldn't be a surprise that General Motors is leading the charge, with six million of the 11 million units recalled coming from one of the General's four brands. Between truck recalls, CUV recalls and the ignition switch recall, 2014 hasn't been a great year for GM.
Other recall leaders include Nissan (one million Sentra and Altima sedans), Honda (900,000 Odyssey minivans), Toyota (over one million units in a few recalls), Volkswagen (150,000 Passat sedans), Chrysler (644,000 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs) and most recently, Ford (434,000 units, the bulk of which were early Ford Escape CUVs). So while it's been a bad year for GM so far, its competitors aren't doing too well, either.
Chrysler extending production of current Dodge Avenger, Jeep Wrangler, Grand Caravan
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Are you hesitant to pull the trigger on a brand new Dodge Avenger in hopes that a new one will be coming? Well, don't hold your breath. According to The Detroit News, Chrysler will be extending production of the current Avenger sedan through the end of 2015.
Originally, we heard that the company would kill the Avenger to better focus its midsize sedan efforts on the Chrysler 200 replacement. But then new reports stated there would indeed be an Avenger successor, and that we could see it as early as next January. This Detroit News report cites supplier sources confirming the extension of Avenger production, though Chrysler has not released an official statement on the matter.
These same suppliers say that the current Jeep Wrangler will live on through mid-2018 - that's right, another five years. The Detroit News reports that a replacement for the iconic, go-anywhere Jeep was due in mid-2016.
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.
