I have owned this classic woody since July 2012, having bought it as a Summer project. The previous owner drove the vehicle until 2005 and parked it in her back yard. To my knowledge, I'm the third owner. All original, 168k, AMC 360, TorqueCommand 727 Automatic Transmission, Selec-Trac (229) 4WD, 'Classic Black' on Tan interior. Healthy number of new parts installed since July 2012. Solid frame (see chassis photos) -- originally a West coast vehicle. Starts and runs strong on the coldest of mornings and shifts smoothly. Very stock vehicle, with two exceptions. The original radio was replaced with an aftermarket CD/MP3 unit and the air pump and air injection tubes have been removed from the engine and the exhaust manifold ports plugged. This Wagoneer has typical wear associated with a 25 y/o Jeep one would expect; a few dents and paint chips etc., which I've tried to capture in the photos. Floor pans are mostly good and have a few small dime-size patches. The front driver and passenger side pans have been treated with POR15. Overall, I'd label the body and interior both as 'fair'. Not a show Jeep, but could be with light body work/paint and interior refresh. Looking to sell so I can move on to another project and free garage space. Currently registered and inspected in RI until November 2014. FSJs are classic vehicles that turn heads wherever they go. I've even found the occassional complimentary note on the windshield from time to time. The vehicle will be sold with a copy of the current RI registration (RI doesn't title vehicles older than 10 yrs.) and a notarized Bill of Sale. I welcome all questions and will post replies in the listing for all bidders to see. Vehicle is also for sale locally; auction will end early if local buyer is found. Here is a list of work that's been performed and work that she could use. Most of the ignition parts were replaced pre-emptively, simply to add reliability. Jeep was not known for strong electrical systems, so I elected to add some peace of mind to the driving experience. Photos of the problem areas to give prospective buyers a true sense of condition. The Good: -Dropped & Cleaned Fuel Tank -New Fuel Pickup & Sender -Re-built original Motorcraft 2BBL Carburetor -New hand-bent steel and rubber brake lines, Calipers, and Brake Pads (only brake lines not replaced were hard lines between master cylinder and proportioning valve) -New Master Cylinder -New Distributor, Distributor Cap, Rotor, and Plug Wires -New Ignition Module -New Ignition Coil -New Starter Solenoid -New transmission selector shaft seal -New transmission filter and fluid -Power Windows all raise/lower with either the driver master switch OR individual door switch -Treated floor-pan rust with POR15 (pans are still very solid, with two small dime-size holes that were patched with fiberglass filler) -Tailgate Window raises and lowers reliably from the tailgate key-switch and intermittently from dash switch* -New transmission output and transfer case input seals (Jan '13) -4WD engages properly -Tire Balance and Front-End Alignment -Fresh Battery -New Headliner Fabric The Bad: -Oil weep from crank seal and oil drain plug -Coolant weep from radiator drain fitting -Transmission fluid weep (unsure of source -- possibly pan gasket) -Slight exhaust leak near down-tube/heat-riser -Right rear axle seal weep -Engine Wire Harness and Dash Harness had sections of burned wire when I bought the Wagoneer last July. I spliced in sections of new wire where needed to make the electrics functional. Original harness can be found on Ebay for $50-100. -Needs new vent windows ($75-100/ea at junk yard or Ebay) -Needs carpet sill plates -Leaf spring bushings to improve road manners -Passenger rocker needs a patch under the rear door, roughly 4" across -Driver and passenger quarter panels need minor spot repair -Rear Defroster inop (Solder let go at tailgate window. I have the wire harness, which can be re-soldered) -Needs new door jamb switches to activate dome lights upon entry/exit (both dome/cargo lights work manually at the overhead switches)

Chrysler defies NHTSA, says it won't recall 2.7M Jeep Grand Cherokee, Liberty models
Wed, 05 Jun 2013Facing a possible recall totaling around 2.7 million of its most popular SUVs, Chrysler remains insistent that the 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty are safe vehicles. This comes on the heels of a recall request from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for these two models due to fuel tanks mounted behind the rear axle, which could possibly be ruptured during severe rear-end collisions, leading to an increased risk of fire. In response to the allegations, Chrysler says that it does not agree with NHTSA nor does it plan on recalling either vehicle.
Chrysler said both SUVs "met and exceeded" the requirements for fuel-system integrity, and cooperated fully with NHTSA since the investigation was opened in 2010. While 15 deaths and 46 injuries have been reported from fires caused by rear-end collisions on these models, Chrysler is claiming that the vast majority of incidents cited by NHTSA were "high-energy crashes," including one where a stopped Grand Cherokee was rear-ended by a tractor trailer going 65 miles per hour.
The automaker wraps up by saying "NHTSA seems to be holding Chrysler Group to a new standard for fuel tank integrity that does not exist now and did not exist when the Jeep vehicles were manufactured." Scroll down for Chrysler's official response to NHTSA, but we're pretty sure this isn't the last we've heard on this issue.
Chrysler expecting up to 200,000 9-speed transmissions for 3 models this year
Tue, 22 Jan 2013Striving for improved fuel economy, we already knew that Chrysler will begin using a nine-speed automatic transmission in some of its new products this year, but what we haven't known is that volume at which this gearbox will be used. According to Bloomberg, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has been quoted as saying that the automaker expects to sell close to 200,000 units equipped with this new transmission in 2013. Those gear-rich trannies will be spread out across three models, consisting of the redesigned Chrysler 200, the still-unnamed Jeep Liberty replacement and the Dodge Dart.
This transmission should play a pivotal role in making Chrysler vehicles more competitive in their respective segments. Just for comparison, one of the Dart's key competitors, the Toyota Corolla, still uses a four-speed automatic, and a previous report indicates that the next-generation 200 could get up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway, which is better than most non-hybrid midsize sedans on the market. Marchionne says that the new Jeep model is expected during the second quarter of this year, but there is no word as to when the new 200 or nine-speed Dart will debut, but clearly Dodge would like to have the transmission in its compact yesterday. As for that volume figure, it definitely doesn't seem out of reach since the Dart, Liberty and 200 combined for a total of more than 225,000 units in 2012.
How many more gears can we expect in future cars? Probably not many more, since the CEO of transmission-builder ZF, Stefan Sommer, previously stated that nine speeds was the "natural limit" for transmissions.
Jeep Renegade gets Riptide and Frostbite customs at SEMA
Wed, 05 Nov 2014The cute little Jeep Renegade isn't even on sale yet, but here at SEMA, the Mopar folks are giving us a taste of what's possible for the little CUV in the big wide world of customization. Part of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' massive SEMA spread, the Renegade shows up in fresh Riptide and and Frostbite guises.
First up, the Riptide arrives in Vibrance Grandeur Blue with black wheels and a big ol' Jeep Performance Parts logo on the rear pillar. There are a few black accents elsewhere on the exterior, and a surfboard carrier rides up on the roof. The blue color scheme also finds its way inside the Renegade, on the instrument cluster and side panels, with contrasting white accents.
By contrast, the Frostbite Renegade reverses the Riptide's color scheme, with white being the main paint of choice, with blue accents abound. And inside, Katzkin seats wear blue upholstery. The Frostbite is a pretty functional creation, as well, with a Mopar ski/snowboard roof rack and a Jeep Performance Parts rock rail guard.
