Selling "Root Beer" my father's 1983 Jeep Cherokee Widetrack with rebuilt 360 engine, 727 auto. 3 spd. trans, runs,drives, and sounds good! This is the last year of the FSJ Cherokees. Offenhauser intake manifold. Last year this Cherokee made over a 800 mile roundtrip with no problems other than many stops for gas!

The odometer reads 218,308 miles. I do not have documentation, but there is not even 5K miles on the engine since it has been rebuilt. The transmission was rebuilt and is very strong. The 4 wheel drive works just fine as well. There is a locker in the front axle. I do not know what brand. The rear axle has a limited slip.

BJ's Offroad bumpers and lift with 35" tires. All glass and headliner is good. Electric windows and door locks all work including the rear glass window. Light surface rust on the original paint therefore the Rustoluem primer racing strips. If I was going to keep this I would remove the primer and clear coat the entire car. The patina on this Jeep is so cool. In my opinion it would be better than repainting, but that is up to you! Other than surface rust no body rust not even in the metal fender flares. The floors and frame are solid. The clips on the turn signals are broken and the lamp is kind of just sitting in the opening. Also the grill is a little loose, but nothing is broken on the grill itself. Just needs a little work to get it grill tight. The seat belt receptacle on the driver's side is not working. The AC is not hooked up, but many of the parts are included. It does not have a radio.

Not sure of the entire history of this Jeep, but it apparently has lived its life in the south. My father has had it for about 3 years and a friend of the family had it for about 5 years before that and he did the lift, bumpers, tires, engine, and transmission rebuild.

Not too many survivors like this out there. These Cherokees are getting more difficult to find in this kind of driver condition. Would not take much to make this Jeep very nice! Or drive it like it is. It gets attention everywhere!

Clear Texas title. Sold "AS IS WHERE IS". Will assist with your shipping arrangements.

Please contact me with any questions about shipping or the Jeep itself prior to auction ending. The Jeep is located in Edgewood, TX which is about 60 miles east of Dallas, TX. You could drive this thing home it is that reliable.

Thank you for looking at this fine piece of American steel!

2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4X4

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Ice skates are spectacular on frozen water, yet they are dreadful everyday footwear. I consider the Jeep Wrangler equally as specialized.
I recently spent a week with a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4X4. Introduced for the 2007 model year, the Wrangler Unlimited is a standard JK two-door with 20.6 inches added to its wheelbase and two additional doors bolted to its passenger compartment. While Jeep offers the Unlimited in seven different trim levels, the desirable Rubicon is the most capable when the pavement ends, as it boasts a slew of hardcore off-road tools including front and rear electronic locking differentials and a front sway bar that can be disengaged at the touch of a button for improved articulation. My I-Look-Like-A-Traffic-Cone test model started with a base price of $34,095 (plus $995 destination). Options including a five-speed automatic transmission, Uconnect, tow package and a premium soft top, drove the bottom line up to $38,630.

Radical 2016 Jeep Wrangler suggested by job listings?

Fri, 31 May 2013

With most inside the industry expecting the next-generation Jeep Wrangler to arrive for the 2016 model year, it makes sense that the automaker would be looking for some choice candidates to to fill program openings as the off-roader goes through its development. A recent ad on Chryslercareers.com suggests to some that the lightweight Wrangler Stitch Concept, revealed just two months ago and shown above, provides some clues about the off-road icon's next iteration.
According to Automotive News, the job descriptions - which don't name the model specifically - hint that the next-generation Wrangler will benefit from a serious diet. The ads appear to seek those familiar with advanced high-strength steels, hinting that lightweight aluminum body panels may appear on the 4x4. In addition, there are suggestions that Jeep may fit the Wrangler replacement with air suspension, as seen on the Ram and Grand Cherokee, to retain ample off-road clearance yet lower that chassis to improve aerodynamics at highway speeds. The job postings reportedly also lend credence to the idea of a diesel Wrangler.
It seems every bit of the next-generation Wrangler is up for review, as it will be the first time this iconic model is redesigned under Fiat ownership. Questions remain whether or not the Jeep will retain its clip-down hood, easy-to-remove door pins and folding front windshield - loyalists expect them, but fuel economy and safety standards may crimp their cases for survival.

Jeep Liberty replacement takes shape

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

Now that the Liberty has left us for greener pastures, it's time to start looking into the future of the midsize Jeep model. The next all-new vehicle for the off-road brand will be the SUV you see here, effectively replacing the Liberty, and not necessarily carrying on with that name.
From the sides, the prototype you see here sort of looks like a miniature version of the handsome Grand Cherokee, albeit with a bit more in the way of body sculpting. Up front, the seven-slat grille will be front and center, with completely revised headlamp designs that are reportedly angular and sweep well into the front fenders (you can sort of see what we're talking about in the side profile). That doesn't sound very Jeep-like, but we'll reserve judgment until we, you know, see the thing.
The bigger question with the Liberty replacement will be whether or not its off-road chops will be up to snuff. After all, the two previous generations of Liberty models were body-on-frame traditional SUVs, whereas this new Jeep rides on a larger version of the Dodge Dart platform.
