Thank you all for your interest:

I want to take this opportunity to answer some questions that came in regarding the Jeep since I started the auction:

Do you have working remotes? Yes, I have 2 factory keys/remotes for the Jeep.
Tell me more about the running boards - The running boards are Factory Mopar OEM - black in color - all parts are there including hardware bag (never opened) and detailed instructions.
Have you recently driven the Jeep? Yes, I recently drove the Jeep from NJ to Baltimore and back home (same day) to pick up a new dual axle 22' boat trailer - in 80 degree weather - no issues.
Does the "climate control" work? Yes, heat and A/C works as it should - climate control functions all work.
What suspension parts were replaced? In reviewing all the receipts - Front Track Bar, Steering Stabilizer, Front Shocks
Any other repairs? Yes, front tires replaced at 138K miles, transmission cooler lines replaced, intake manifold gaskets - replaced, rear main seal - replaced.
Do all the receipts go with the Jeep? Yes, personal info will be omitted.
Can I pick up vehicle and drive it back home? You can... but not with my plates. Once you buy the vehicle you do as you will - I take no responsibility whatsoever by someone slapping their plates on the vehicle and driving it (which is illegal) and getting caught w/o proper registration/plates/insurance.
Will you work with me and hold the vehicle for a week? Sure, provided the vehicle is paid for in full - I have no issue with giving anyone time to properly title, register and plate the vehicle. Same goes for shipping. The Jeep is in a secure place and I don't have to necessarily move it - but again... a reasonable time frame is OK.

I hope this additional information is helpful for everyone interested in my vehicle.

Jeep Cherokee appears in Chrysler's second Super Bowl spot

Mon, 03 Feb 2014

The second of three spots produced by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles for this year's Super Bowl featured the all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee. Aired during the game's half time show, the minute-long ad didn't strike as anything new or innovative from an automaker with a reputation for above average Super Bowl spots, but it did show the controversially styled Cherokee in the best light possible.
Called Restless, the commercial shows young, adventurous types doing the sorts of things that young, adventurous types do: surfing, skateboarding, cliff jumping, staring off into the sky with a pensive expression, etc. Scroll down to watch Restless for yourself and let us know in Comments if Jeep managed to hold your attention during half time.

Chrysler's Jefferson North plant builds 5-millionth SUV [w/video]

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

Chrysler's Jefferson North Assembly Plant opened in 1992 for production of the first Jeep Grand Cherokee, but in the subsequent years, the Detroit plant has gone on to produce some of the company's biggest SUVs including the Jeep Commander and Dodge Durango. Earlier this week, the plant produced its five-millionth SUV, which, fittingly, was a Grand Cherokee.
Celebrating the plant's five-millionth unit, the silver 2014 Grand Cherokee was promptly donated to the USO. In addition to this milestone SUV, Chrysler also had a near-perfect 1993-95 ZJ Grand Cherokee on hand for the photo op. Scroll down for the Chrysler press release as well as a video showing some of the speeches from the celebration.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
