Up for sale is my 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. Need it gone by the end of next week. Just hit the 200,000 mile mark, but runs excellent. I am going to be completely honest about everything I've stated in this article. I have had this vehicle for about a year now, and I've put quite a bit of money into it since I have owned it. All the work was done by my father and I. I am a perfectionist so everything was done right, no corners cut. My intentions were to lift it, get it repainted, and have a really nice daily driver that I could go off-roading with on the weekends. I honestly do not want to sell this vehicle. I have a lot of time, money, and sweat invested.
I will accept pretty much any decent offer. You will not find a more mechanically sound and nearly rust free vehicle for this price. I guarantee that. If you don't have the money yet, please don't waste my time. It's a cash only sale. That means hard cash in hand no checks.

All new parts just recently installed: Wheel Hub Assemblies (One National, other is Moog), Differential Spider Gears, Moog Sway Bar End Links, Fuel Pump, Power Steering Pump, Alternator, Borg Warner Throttle Position Sensor, Borg Warner Idle Air Control Valve, Trickflow Throttle Body Spacer, Accel Cap & Rotor, NAPA Plug Wires, Autolite Plugs, Stainless Header, Dynomax Tail Pipe, OEM Replacement Walker Intermediate Exhaust Pipe, Magnaflow High Flow Catalytic Converter, Flowmaster Super 40 Series Muffler, Fel-Pro Valve Cover Gasket, Fel-Pro Intake/Exhaust Manifold Gasket, Bosch o2 Sensors, PCV Valves, Bosch Windshield Wiper Blades, Moog Ball Joints, Rugged Ridge HD Tie Rod Kit, Rough Country 2.2 Steering Stabilizer, Monsterliner Roll-On Bed Liner (Rolled on but still put carpet over it).

Replacement, Reman, Or not exactly brand new parts: Replacement gas tank, Remanufactured Steering Gearbox, Goodyear Wrangler Tires (1 Year Old), 99'+ Intake upgrade, Replacement Passenger Door from Junkyard (No rust), Replacement Rear Hatch from Junkyard (Minor Bubbling on the lip, not much at all), Gas Tank Skid Plate (not installed).

The issues:
Front Driveshaft Used to vibrate so it was removed. So currently no 4wd. Didn't have 4wd last winter and I never had a problem. (Still have driveshaft)
No A/C, compressor went out so an idler pulley was installed in its place
I had to do a roof patch due to the previous owner's idiotic idea to install an aftermarket sunroof.
The ONLY rust, a small 1"x 5" hole in the drivers wheel well. And Bubbling on some of the bottom inner door lips. Really easy fix if you are handy with a welder.
Windshield has a large crack across the bottom and a few scattered very small chips.
The paint job isn't anything to brag about
No Stereo or Speakers.
Could use alignment in my opinion, especially since a lot of the steering components are new.

Chrysler recalls small number of 2013-2014 cars and trucks over engine debris

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

Chrysler is recalling a small number cars over issues with their 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. The recall, which affects 522 examples of its 2013 Dodge Avenger and Chrysler 200 models, as well as 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot CUVs has to do with potential debris in the balance shaft bearings.
The abrasive stuff can cause the oil pressure to drop, which could lead to the engine stalling or outright failure. This situation could at best leave drivers stranded and at worst lead to a crash.
Chrysler will begin notifying owners, who will need to report in to have the balance shaft module replaced. All repairs are naturally free of charge. Scroll down for the bulletin from NHTSA.

eBay Find of the Day: Jeep Comanche Zombie Response Unit

Sat, 02 Feb 2013

We've seen some pretty fantastic apocalypse vehicles in our day. We've even owned one or two, but this particular Jeep Comanche tugs at our heart strings in all the right ways. Let's start with the basics: there's a stout 4.0-liter engine underhood hooked to a five-speed manual transmission, and while we wish this truck was four-wheel drive, the two-inch lift and oversize tires should help you overcome obstacles with enough momentum.
Details like handy shovels, Jerry cans and a brush guard inspired by the hardware on a CUCV help lend the truck a no-nonsense appeal, and the functional CB whip antenna means you can ask for backup when the undead hordes come your way. If you like what you see as much as we do, you can head over to eBay Motors to place a bid. The auction has inched up to $4,000 with just two days left on the clock.

2014 Jeep Patriot and Compass ditch CVT for six-speed auto

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

It was reported in Automotive News a few months ago, but a new report on Allpar.com adds some details to news that the 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot will get a six-speed automatic to replace the CVTs they currently use. According to a tip provided to Allpar, the 2014 models will begin production in March and be on sale sometime in the summer. The Jatco-sourced CVT in use until now - Jatco is owned by Nissan and Mitsubishi - has been often criticized, and many won't be sad to see it go.
The incoming six-speed automatic is said to be an all-wheel-drive cog-swapper that's the work of Hyundai and Magna and has been paired with the DynaMax AWD system used in the Hyundai ix35 and Kia Sportage. It won't be the only Chrysler product using a transmission with ties to Hyundai: the six-speed automatic in the Dodge Dart comes from Powertech, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hyundai. With the Patriot and Compass said to be driving down the trail for the last time this year, it will be a short run for the new tranny and the rumored addition of a backup camera and power rear liftgate on the Compass.
