The Jeep has treated me very well, but I needed something with better gas mileage and really don't have much of a need for it.
A few things about the Jeep:
191,xxx miles
Rear wheel drive
Its the four door SE model with the 4.0L l6 engine.
Automatic transmission. Shifts great and has more power than you would expect.
Manuel locks and windows.
It was well maintained(never missed an oil change or tune up, however it is reaching a transmission flush which has turned on the check engine light)
The Jeep is black but the paint has started to fade, I decided to take this and run. Instead of repainting it I badged the rear windows with a few zombie decals(which could easily be removed) and added a blood splatter bed sheet as the interior roof lining.
Has a basic am/fm, cd stereo unit.
There are a couple small issues:
The turn signals cams need to be replaced(the turn signals do not shut off automatically)
The cruise control does not work.
I am told that both of these things could be fixed by replacing the clock spring(I know that they price at about $60 I have just been unwilling to invest the time.
As with most of the Jeeps from this era the catalytic converter heat shield rattles on cold starts. (I have been told that these can be removed pretty easily.
Lastly, there is a crack in the bottom of the windshield( it passed regulations in Missouri, so I never bothered to have it replaced)
Overall the Jeep is in great condition and with a little care it could turn into a great vehicle or a fun project.

There have been a couple things that have been brought to my attention, the vehicle stays at my moms house, and I asked her to drive it for the day and let me know how it drove, she did tell me that the check engine light came on, I have not checked the light yet, and she said there was a rattle from the exhaust, which I assume is the heatsheild which is famous for coming loose and making a rattling noise.
Overall the Jeep is in great condition and with a little care it could turn into a great vehicle or a fun project.

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 resolves recall issue with NHTSA, will inspect, upgrade affected Jeeps
Tue, 18 Jun 2013Chrysler made big news earlier in the month by refusing a recall request from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for the 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty. Last week, NHTSA boss David Strickland countered by defending his agency's request for the recall of 2.7 million Jeep SUVs. Today marked the deadline for Chrysler to formally respond to NHTSA, and it seems that both parties have met in the middle with Chrysler inspecting and upgrading some of the affected vehicles without using the word "recall," which would constitute the admission of a defect; instead, Chrysler said that it is conducting a "voluntary campaign."
At issue on these vehicles is the positioning of the fuel tank behind the rear axle that could get damaged during a rear-end collision. NHTSA has stated that at least 51 people have been killed in rear-end collisions involving these Jeeps after the vehicles caught fire, to which Chrysler countered by pointing out that both models "met and exceeded" the requirements for fuel-system integrity.
As a compromise on the situation, Chrysler says that it will inspect all pre-2004 Grand Cherokees and pre-2007 Liberty models and, "if necessary, provide an upgrade to the rear structure of the vehicle." According to Automotive News, this upgrade will consist of adding a trailer hitch that will presumably better protect the rear-mounted gas tank. Vehicles already equipped with a factory or Mopar hitch will not be modified. Chrysler's official statement on the matter is posted below, but no additional information has been released, such as when the campaign will begin and how many vehicles could be affected.
GMC boss wants a Jeep Wrangler rival
Wed, 12 Nov 2014Challengers 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.
