NO Researve!
2006 Jeep Liberty CRD Diesel, 4x4 with lots of upgrades
I'm unloading just about everything because I am moving soon, two vehicles gone, and two more to go.
First, the bad, and the reason for the low price and no reserve.
Sunroof will open, but not close.  It is stuck open ~1".  It's been taped since it happened, and no water has gotten past the tape.  It's either the switch, or the motor, don't know which.  The tape comes off easily enough with a heat gun and mineral spirits to clean up the residue.
ABS is not working, this is a known issue.  The wiring harness that runs inside the floor breaks at the rear connector.  I have a new harness that will be included, but it is not installed.
Passenger side airbag fuse is pulled due to Recaro seats.  The factory seat uses an occupant sensor that is built into the seat, and the airbag light on the passenger grab bar, above the glove box, is illuminated if the fuse is in. 
There is a bit of loss of power, but I don't know why.  Check engine light is NOT on, there are no apparent leaks of anything anywhere.  It could be buildup in the valves and intake runners which can also happen with these if the PCV is left to vent directly into the turbo.  I moved the PCV vent into the airbox, so it pulls through the airfilter, but I did buy it used.
Minor damage to rear passenger door (see pics) thanks to another driver that required evasive maneuvers a couple years ago.
Passenger side strut stud is broken (I think).  The strut is not secured to the strut tower, but, I will include a NEW pair of Old Man Emu Struts.

So, it's not perfect, and needs a little work, but for all the work that's been done, it's still a great deal.


The Goods:
Old Man Emu 1.5" springs
Skyjacker front struts
Old Man Emu rear shocks $800

(5) New 215/85R16 Cooper ST tires, great in everything but deap mud
Suncoast Torque Converter $700
Transgo Shift Kit, 45RFE-HD2, $150
Mag-Hytec Deep Transmission Pan $300
Deep aluminum finned rear differential cover $150
Detroit TrueTrac rear differential $800 installed
NEW Turbo, less than 500 miles $800 installed
NEW SKF hubs, less than 500 miles $600 installed
Cross Drilled and Slotted Rotors
Ceramic Brake Pads
Green Diesel Engineering Tune, with programmer $900
Recaro leather seats from a Saline Mustang, these are pretty nice, and in excellent condition....I forget how much I paid
JVC Arnsenal Stereo
High Flow Exhaust, 2.5" aluminized from downpipe back
Dynomax muffler

There is a chance I missed something, because I've had it for a few years and have worked on it over time, but I think that's everything.  That's over $5000 in parts, with better ride and traction.

Check my feedback, if you're concerned about the one negative, maybe you should re-read it.  I cancelled the transaction because three weeks later, he still hadn't paid me.  It was supposed to be removed, looks like I need to make another call the the wonderful eBay help center.

Australian Jeep marketing stunt goes awry [w/video]

Tue, 15 Jul 2014

Jeep fans in Australia are none too happy with the off-road brand following a contest that saw ten new Cherokees sold for just $10,000 Australian (about $9,400), roughly a quarter of the vehicle's price Down Under.
The contest, called the "World's Most Remote Dealership," gave Aussies the chance to snag an ultra-affordable Cherokee Longitude (analogous to the US-spec Latitude trim), provided they could get to a secret dealership in the remote wilderness of western New South Wales, near the border with the state of South Australia.
In order to get the exact location of the dealership, though, potential customers needed to download an app, which would release a phone number 9:00 AM AEST on Thursday (7:00 PM EDT, Wednesday night). The first ten people who could call in and prove they could afford to finance $10,000 and get to the remote dealership, were given the location of the remote dealership.

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.

Chrysler extending production of current Dodge Avenger, Jeep Wrangler, Grand Caravan

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Are you hesitant to pull the trigger on a brand new Dodge Avenger in hopes that a new one will be coming? Well, don't hold your breath. According to The Detroit News, Chrysler will be extending production of the current Avenger sedan through the end of 2015.
Originally, we heard that the company would kill the Avenger to better focus its midsize sedan efforts on the Chrysler 200 replacement. But then new reports stated there would indeed be an Avenger successor, and that we could see it as early as next January. This Detroit News report cites supplier sources confirming the extension of Avenger production, though Chrysler has not released an official statement on the matter.
These same suppliers say that the current Jeep Wrangler will live on through mid-2018 - that's right, another five years. The Detroit News reports that a replacement for the iconic, go-anywhere Jeep was due in mid-2016.
