Wishing for an alternative to having to drive our Yukon XL from Michigan to Florida 4 times a year to chase saltwater fish, I bought the above 'critter' via eBay. "Now we can fly down and reach both coasts via the Jeep"... (youthful dreaming)... Not ever willing to take chances with the unknown (typical 'old fart'), I rented a flat bed to trailer the 'beast' from the Gulf coast to Zellwood. Delivered it to a 'Fix-it' shop to install an entire new brake system, new shocks, new tires, new battery, all new 'fluids', and all new 'tranny & transfer case seals. Did get us to the coasts four times without events. Wednesday, on the way back from Canaveral, Nancy said "the brakes are getting spongy". I took over and they were not "spongy", they were almost non-existant. Did get the canoes to the RV area, and then, back to our mobile. Stepped on the brake entering the drive and the gauges pegged zero and the motor died. Not at all sophisticated in 'motordom', I called my son-in-law who quickly diagnosed "O2 sensor failure" (?????) Have not tried to start it again, for fear of causing further damage... (?) When we did drive it, the 'critter' started instantly, sounded smooth, shifted cleanly, and seemed to have no glitches. Now, here is the rub: would expect the buyer to 'flat-bed' (or tow it) on the pick up , and it MUST BE PICKED UP Saturday, the 6th or Sunday, the 7th. Leaving to MI Monday AM. Located at Zellwood Station (Hwy 441), just north of Orlando. Using Virgin Mobile for Net Connect, (not very stable), but will try to respond to "querys'' promptly. (An eBayer just suggested that I try starting it again; I turned the key, gauges read normal, twisted to start, instant response... motor ran normally... ?????) Duh...

Happy 50th birthday, Jeep Wagoneer
Thu, 02 May 2013
The Wagoneer got the SUV on the radar of buyers looking for something capable, comfortable and rugged.
The Jeep Wagoneer was introduced 50 years ago, and it's that vehicle we have to thank for the herds of excellent crossovers and SUVs that make up our current automotive landscape. On a personal level, I have always loved the full-size Jeeps and their crisp Brooks Stevens styling, which aged well over their long tenure on the market. The SJs, as they're known among enthusiasts, were the Wagoneer and its two-door counterpart, the original Cherokee. The Wagoneers had become true luxury vehicles by the end of their run, which stretched form late 1962 as a '63 model all the way to 1991, when they were offered exclusively under the Grand Wagoneer nameplate.
Jeep mulling power top for next Wrangler
Fri, 07 Mar 2014Jeep is hard at work on the next-generation Wrangler, though the truck is still a few years from hitting the trails. The new model will still be aimed at off-roaders, but rumors suggest it will be a little more comfortable than previous versions to appeal to more people.
According to Road and Track, Jeep is developing a power-retractable top as an expensive option for the Wrangler. There is no word if the top in question is a sliding canvas rollback like the ones found on many European vehicles or a full convertible hardtop or softtop, nor do we know whether it would be made available on two- or four-door models. It might be a nice feature for some buyers but would certainly add complexity to a truck already known for its ruggedness. We asked Jeep for confirmation, but Jeep spokesperson Todd Goyer could only remind us that the company "can't comment about future products."
In news that is likely to irk the faithful, R&T reports the next model may also ditch its folding windshield for improved safety and possibly even get rid of its rear-mounted, full-size spare tire. The new Wrangler won't go completely soft, though, and will reportedly still feature removable doors and solid axles.
Chrysler recalling hundreds of thousands of Jeep Grand Cherokee and Commander SUVs
Wed, 23 Jul 2014The public might associated ignition switch recalls with General Motors - and with good cause - but that's not the only automaker calling its vehicles back in to fix that sort of issue.
Last month we reported that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was investigating an array of Chrysler Group vehicles for electrical-related safety issues. The administration and Chrysler subsequently issued a recall for 700,000 Dodge Journey crossovers, Dodge Grand Caravan minivans and Chrysler Town & Country minivans. But while the Jeeps that were also under investigation were not covered in that recall, they are being addressed in a separate one now.
Although Chrysler reports that it is only aware of a single accident stemming from this issue, it is "committing now to conduct a recall out of an abundance of caution." The recall affects the 2006-2007 Jeep Commander and 2005-2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee, of which it reports there are 792,300 on the road: 649,900 in the United States, 28,800 in Canada, 12,800 in Mexico and a further 100,800 outside of North America.
