Great Jeep for a young driver or anyone who is good with a wrench.  It is a 2001 Grand Cherokee and it does need some work done. Tires are pretty new less than 5,000 miles on them and I just replaced the front brakes (less and 100 miles ago). There are still brackets on the front to attach a brush guard which I had but I have taken off.  There is no muffler (straight pipe instead) but there IS a catalytic converter and I has never had an issue passing emission tests in Indiana.  It needs a new radiator and new air conditioning condenser, an easy fix if you know what you are doing. I recently had the A/C recharged and the shop put dye in the system so you can see where the issue is for the A/C.  Also the front passenger window does not work, I believe it needs a new window regulator but I have not had it checked by a professional.  The horn does not work either, it may just need a new fuse. The center backlight on the dash is burned out and does not fully illuminate the speedometer. The driver side door stop does not work and door must be held open, closes and works perfectly though. Drivers heated seat does not work, passenger seat does. Steering wheel leather has deteriorated over time and I have cut most off and I use a neoprene wheel cover that will stay with the vehicle. These are the issues I know off the top of my head but it is a 12 year old vehicle.


As expected with a 12 year old vehicle there are some dings and scratches, none are large.  Scratch on the driver side front corner panel, rear driver side bumper, and a few wear and tear areas.  There is a ding above the license plate on the rear hatch.  Also I was rear ended in 2006 and I never repaired the slight damage.  The electrical plug in for trailers still works perfectly.  There is also some surface rust below the driver side doors and on the spare tire well in the rear. I have not looked under the vehicle but at my last oil change they did not say anything about excessive rust.

Chrysler recalling nearly 141k vehicles over electrical woes

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

Software glitches that randomly illuminate warning lights and cause instrument cluster blackouts are forcing Chrysler to recall 140,800 vehicles, The Detroit News reports. The automaker is recalling 132,000 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokees, 91,559 of which are in the US. In addition to the Jeep recalls, Chrysler is adding 10,800 2014 Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 trucks to the list for similar problems.
Chrysler reportedly says, "Both events occurred infrequently and appeared to resolve themselves by tuning the vehicle's ignition off and then on."
Engineers discovered a problem with the anti-lock-braking system software that causes the instrument cluster display of the Grand Cherokee to illuminate warning lights and black out - even its ABS and electronic stability control systems are affected. To fix the Jeeps, Chrysler will update the vehicle's software.

Jeep Wrangler by Vilner takes extreme luxury off-road

Mon, 20 Jan 2014

Vilner turned its customary and intensely luxurious attentions to a two-door Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited back in 2012, following that up this year with its take on the four-door version. A coat of lustrous black paint outside is brightened up LED headlights, foglights and taillights and layers of chrome laid on the grille, mirrors, door handles and fuel filler cap.
Stance gets an injection of brawn from the 20-inch wheels, and they'll roll faster thanks to the power upgrade from 197 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque in the 2.8-liter diesel to 257 hp and 412 lb-ft.
Inside is furious red, with cross-stitched crimson leather and Alcantara demanding your focus. When you can look away from that, you'll find the raw metal parts painted black and again ornamented in minor applications of chrome. Feel free to feast on it in the high-res gallery above.

LA-bound 2014 Jeep Wrangler special edition gives us the Willys for $25,795

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The Jeep Wrangler might be the reigning king of special editions, but with sales records being broken almost all year, this plan is obviously resonating with buyers. Joining new models like the Dragon Edition and Polar Edition, the 2014 Jeep Wrangler is adding a new Willys Wheeler Edition to pay homage to Jeep's military heritage.
Getting ready for its big debut at the LA Auto Show, the 2014 Jeep Wrangler Willys Wheeler Edition is inspired by early Willys CJ (Civilian Jeep) models with exclusive styling and upgraded off-road goodies. Starting with a Wrangler Sport, these upgrades include a Dana 44 rear axle with limited-slip differential and 3.73 gears, along with meaty BF Goodrich KM Mud Terrain tires mounted to the Willys Wheeler's black 17-inch wheels. For more of a classic Jeep look, this model adds a gloss black grille, "Willys" hood stickers and rock rails to protect the side sills. Jeep is also tossing in a D-ring, tow strap and gloves that are all kept in a special carrying bag.
When it goes on sale early next year, the Wrangler Willys Wheeler Edition will start at $25,795 for the two-door model, while the four-door will start at $29,595. There's an official press release posted below, and we'll be sure to have live images of the special-edition Wrangler live from the LA Auto Show floor later this week, so stay close.
