Up for sale is my daughters 1997 Jeep Cherokee Country (classic, sport). It has a Rough Country 3" lift, with new hydro shocks installed when we purchased it 2.5 years ago. We also installed the new tires and wheels at that time. vehicle has had approx. 25,000 miles put on it since she bought it. She has moved up to a lifted Jeep Liberty, so we are selling her Cherokee. Since we have owned it, we have replaced:
Water pump,
Battery,
Fuel Injectors
O2 Sensors,
exhaust
power steering pump
engine belt
battery temp sensor
radio and speakers
power window switches
fuel pump
upper and lower ball joints
both axle shaft U joints
both wheel bearings
calipers, brake pads, and rotors
all fluids changed regularly - axles, trans, engine, transfer case
(Please bear in mind I believe in complete and total honesty - I am revealing EVERYTHING I know about the vehicle - you being happy with your purchase is very important to me)

Jeep has (as of this posting) 150,036 miles on it now. No leaks or burning of fluids but some seepage visible - rear main seal, rear diff pinion, etc. Never have to add any fluid between oil changes or maintenance windows. 4.0 I-6 in great shape, auto trans works perfect. Body in decent shape, no major damage or rust to be concerned about. Body does have some body work in its past life that is "so-so" if you look up close. Body work done on the drivers door, around the lock area. Body work done on the roof in a 2 areas. Has a small  rust hole in the lower rear passenger side quarter panel, drivers side just edge surface rust, visible in pics. Does have rust in floor under drivers and passenger front footwells, I have just left it alone, cant tell unless you crawl under and look - but the frame, suspension mounts,body mounts all in better then average shape - car appears it was rust proofed and undercoated early in its life. Bottoms of doors solid, rockers are solid. Has an aftermarket electric sunroof that works properly, rattles and does drip in very heavy rains (explains the rust in the floor boards in front only and why I didn't patch them!). Drives nice and straight down the road. Most all functions work - heat, wipers, radio, windows. Drivers door lock solenoid bad, A/C has a leaky line and does not hold a charge, but all parts are there and complete (I tried to charge it when we first got it - and it did run and cool - but leaked out very quickly). Leak is in a solid line, near the battery. Rear liftgate struts are weak. Seats in good shape, interior is not trashed. We have not hesitated to let my daughter drive this every day, and including our trips with our Jeep club twice a year which is 5 hours away.  Drove it there, did some fun off-roading and drove it home.
Just passed IL emissions test beginning of July. Aftermarket off-road front and rear steel bumpers with D-ring mounts and front stinger. Aftermarket front slush mats. Aftermarket stereo MP3 with aux in and new speakers all the way around. Interior in decent shape, no rips or tears in seats or carpets. Great first vehicle for someone that needs something dependable and tough. This Jeep always starts - even on the coldest winter days. We wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere. 4 wheel drive works great. Price somewhat negotiable, but not much - really because of the tons of new parts, its ready for a new owner - throw plates on it and go!

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Choose Your Own Adventure... But Choose Wisely
Jeep has got you covered. We can say this without even having to know what it is you want, because there's hardly an option or configuration that you won't find in the 2014 Grand Cherokee. There are three different engines, three different four-wheel-drive systems (plus rear-wheel drive), four different trim levels - not counting SRT - two different suspension setups and five different settings for various off-road terrain conditions. If you happen to check the box for Quadra-Lift, you'll also have five different ride-height settings for the driver-selectable air suspension.
As you might expect with so many customization possibilities, the way a buyer checks the options sheet can have a profound effect on the final product and its capabilities, to say nothing of its price. Nowhere is that more true than with the Grand Cherokee's choice of engines, with the brand-new 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 stealing the spotlight from the still excellent gasoline-fueled 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and 5.7-liter Hemi V8 powerplants that carry over from last year. No matter which engine you choose, though, it will be paired up with Jeep's new standard eight-speed automatic transmission from ZF. This, ladies and gentlemen, is very good news indeed.

WWII Jeep 'found in crate' set to cross Greenwich auction block

Thu, 30 May 2013

Fans of old military vehicles might want to pay extra close attention to the Greenwich Concours d'Elegance coming up this weekend. Crossing the Bonhams auction block on Sunday are a pair of seemingly flawless World War II Jeeps, which are both expected to fetch serious dollars.
Lot Number 305 at the auction is a 1945 Ford GPW Jeep that has been fully restored, which is expected to command between $35,000 and $45,000. Shortly after the Ford GPW, a potentially more interesting 1944 Willys MB (shown above) will be auctioned off, but Hemmings raises some red flags about this Jeep. First, it is claiming to have been "discovered in its original crate about 30 years ago," but there is no proof or documentation of any sort. Also, it is claiming to be all original, but it was given a paint job "shortly after it was discovered." Even with these questionable descriptions, this Willys could reach between $20,000 and $30,000. Head over to Bonhams' site and Hemmings for more information on both WW2-era Jeeps.

Chrysler announced its 2013 financial results today and unveiled its new name and decidedly bank-like logo. Amid the announcement, Chrysler posted big gains in income, while Fiat didn't perform to analysts' expectations.
For 2013, Chrysler had revenue of $72.1 billion, up 10 percent from 2012. Net income reached $2.8 billion, a 65-percent increase. It was the company's third straight year of annual profits.
In terms of unit sales, Chrysler sold 2.4 million cars worldwide in 2013, up 9 percent. According to Automotive News, 1.8 million of those vehicles were sold in the US, a 14-percent increase. The sales growth boosted Chrysler's US market share to 11.4 percent, up 0.2 percent.
