 I am selling my Jeep because I just don't have space for it anymore.  This truck was purchased by me about 7 years ago so I can get to work in the winter, otherwise it sat in the garage.  I bought it off the previous owner at 77k miles and he too had it garaged.  I have maintained this truck to the fullest extent from day one to now.  Most of the maintenance came around 100k for reliability am fuel efficiency only.   These things include front to back: Silverstar headlights and fog lights, aluminum radiator and 185 degree thermostat, external trans cooler, Derale deep cooling trans pan, new shift soiliniods x2 (common problem), new atf +4 fluid flush at 110k, royal purple gear fluid in front diff, new steering stabilizer, accel ignition coil, taylor 8mm wires, champion heavy duty truck spark plugs, K&N drop in air filter just cleaned, both O2 sensors replaced, Mopar performance ECU(very rare), Random technologies high flow cat and Gibson mandrel bent exhaust, (sound amazing), Rear diff was rebuild by previous owner and I have royal purple in it also. Transfer case fluid recently changes with ATF+$ and the A/C was profesionally charged in 2011. New Serpintine belt and pullies at 100k.Previous owner also put in a pioneer Sirus radio in the factory dash slot, fits perfect.  New brakes and rotors at 100k, all 4 Bilstien HD shocks at 100k, rear gate shocks both window and gate replaced recently.  I also changed the plenum gasket and the Throttle position sensor as well, these are common issues as well.  I changed the fuel pump also just for reliability at 100k.  Oil changes 10w-30 Valvoline or Mobil one high mileage synthetic. Tires are 75-85%  Good Year All season Fortera's rotated every oil change. This truck is extremely reliable, clean and drives solid, no check engine lights, no engine sounds, transmission shifts solid and does not miss a beat, and everything works.   I usually get average of 15-16 mpg and get as high as 18.5 mpg on the highway and it drives straight as an arrow and smooth even at higher highway speeds.  

This winter was the only time I had to take it out of the garage and it sat most of the winter in my driveway.  Since It is a rare truck i feel bad leaving it sit and the minimal use I have for it it is time to go.  Since It sat there were a few issues I found this spring.  One the rear tail gate started to rust on the bottom, no rust anywhere else on the truck but the tailgate.  Second the tailgate switch went bad so the lights flicker on and off, this is a common problem and easy fix.  Also the windshield seal is going bad so when the snow melted and some water got in the front floor boards.   I read this is a common issue also, dried the mats out and it is fine but the windshield will need to come out.  It should be replaced anyway because it has a small ship on it as well.  I know this truck like all my cars in and out, there is no other known problems with this car at all.  I encourage before bidding to please come look at it and drive it if your serious.  If you are not local I also encourage you send a independent inspector to review it before bidding.   The car is in Long Valley NJ 07953 and can also be in West Orange NJ 07853.   Please call me with any questions Vinny 9738098900.

2014 Jeep Cherokee uncovered with bold new look

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

Jeep has been shuttling around Alfa Romeo-based test mules and camouflaged prototypes of its replacement for the current Liberty for some time now. Those heavily disguised vehicles may have offered a glimpse of the new Jeep, but a new set of production-line images from Jalopnik tell a much more complete story.
Jalopnik report indicates unequivocally that the Cherokee name will be re-upped in place of Liberty, though it doesn't spell out exactly where that thinking comes from, though a name change has been rumored for some time. Chances are good that the same source that delivered these factory images delivered the name, as well.
The Cherokee absolutely has some Alfa Romeo DNA in its makeup, the final product is far from looking like its Guilietta ancestor. The athletic, high-waisted design is relatively attractive from what we can see here, though the grille and headlight treatment are sure to cause a lot of ruckus when the Cherokee makes its official debut at the New York Auto Show in April. The very narrow, pointed headlamps are pinched in a not particularly Jeep-ish fashion, and the curved, short version of the seven-slot grille is far more rakish than anything that Jeep has produced to date.

Dirt Every Day tries to find the best 4x4 for under $4k

Mon, 25 Aug 2014

If you want to build a cheap truck that can still do dirty deeds off the beaten path, it's best to start with solid axles and a solid V8 engine. That sums up the lessons learned after watching the 2014 Cheap Truck Challenge from the Dirt Every Day video crew, who took to the deserts and surrounding areas near Reno, NV, in an attempt to find the best 4x4 for under $4,000. Fortunately for us, the whole sordid journey was captured on video.
This isn't the first time the boys from DED filmed a Cheap Truck Challenge, and this year's festivities pitted together a 1993 Chevy S10 pickup, a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee and a 1975 International truck in a series of challenges ranging from donuts to drag races, with plenty of hill-climbing and rock-crawling action in between. We don't want to spoil all the fun, but suffice it to say one competitor was found to be lacking while the other two performed (mostly) well. See for yourself in the video above.

Auto critic calls out Corvette, Mustang and Cherokee faithful

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

Most automotive purists fear change, but not without reason. Change, after all, did kill big-block V8s, along with most station wagons and manual transmissions. But change has also brought with it far more performance, safety and fuel economy - not to mention ridding the world of shag carpet interiors, bias-ply tires and those horrible motorized seatbelts of the early '90s.
By this time next year, the Chevy Corvette, Jeep Cherokee and next-generation Ford Mustang will all be on sale and will all, in some way, have angered or offended purists. To those critics, Mark Phelan of the Detroit Free Press is preemptively telling them to stop complaining - at least until they've all been driven. From the Corvette's square taillights and the Cherokee's radical nose to whatever pony car purists will harp on the 2015 Mustang for, Phelan's column points out the positives of automotive evolution and the negatives of staying the course for too long. That's fair enough, but do you think Phelan is on point, or all wet? Head on over to the Detroit Free Press to read his words, then have your say in Comments.
