1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Sport Utility 4-door 5.9l 4x4 on 2040-cars
Nogales, Arizona, United States
1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer with 94,000+ original miles.
The whole Jeep has undergone a frame off restoration and the engine has been rebuilt. 4x4 works perfectly, as does most everything else. Seats are in great condition with original style ribbed upholstery (no rips or tears, only normal-wear wrinkles on leather) Carpet is clean and plush. Floor mats are less than a year old. New headliner. AC blows cold and heater blows hot. Good tires. Wheels are polished and look great! New Pioneer stereo system and aftermarket alarm, with power door lock remote. Rear window works up/down perfectly. Only issue is power side mirrors do not work, not sure why (loose connector, most likely, as they worked before the Jeep was taken apart for painting, but didn't afterwards - didn't want to take door panels out again, as I rarely move the mirrors on-the-fly, and they can be adjusted manually very easily) The doors locks all work fine with the power switches and with the aftermarket remote. All 4 doors latch in place perfectly with a nice thud, but the driver's door needs a harder nudge than the other 3 for some reason. Other than that, there are very minor issues with the truck - couple small door dings here and there, that kind of thing. The lens on the overhead light just came off and was lost during its last trip to the car wash to get detailed. (see last pic) I've tried to capture as much detail in the pictures I'm posting, but free to ask any questions you may have or request specific pictures and I will be happy to oblige quickly. Please ask all questions prior to bidding, and only bid if you're serious about completing the purchase. If you'd like to send an inspector (at your own expense) to go over the Jeep, please do so - I will work with anyone wanting to do this. Shipping is of course at the buyer's expense and is to be arranged by and paid for by buyer. Again, please ask any and all questions you may have prior to bidding - I'm here to make the purchase process as effortless and painless as possible. Thank you! |

7 months later, Jeep 'trailer hitch' recall still stalled
Tue, 14 Jan 2014For the past few years, Chrysler and its CEO, Sergio Marchionne, have gone head-to-head with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and its boss, David Strickland, over the government safety agency's request for Chrysler to recall almost three-million Jeep vehicles due to what NHTSA says is a safety issue that has caused at least 51 deaths. After a three-year investigation and Chrysler's initial refusal to issue a recall because it deemed the vehicles safe and built to the day's federal requirements, last summer, the two parties compromised on a "voluntary campaign" to inspect 1.56 million vehicles, those being the 1992 to 1998 Grand Cherokee and 2002 to 2007 Liberty.
Those vehicles were designed with their gas tanks between the rear axle and the bumper, and NHTSA says that in rear-end collisions, damage to the fuel tank has caused fires responsible for those 51 deaths. The compromise reached last summer was that Chrysler would inspect 1.56 million vehicles and, "if necessary, provide an upgrade to the rear structure of the vehicle." Practically speaking, that meant Chrysler would replace aftermarket trailer hitches, but would take no action if a vehicle had a factory-installed hitch or an aftermarket hitch from Mopar.
A report in The Detroit News says the "voluntary campaign" is just now getting under way, with Chrysler saying last week that the design of the replacement part had been finalized and it was tooling up "to deliver the required volume." Seven months later, still in question is whether NHTSA will crash-test the fix engineered by Chrysler, noteworthy because not only did the vehicles in question pass every safety standard necessary to be cleared for sale at the time, there are still questions (to those of us on the outside) as to how the Jeeps at issue fare among their peers in such incidents. Either way, Chrysler and NHTSA apparently still disagree on the efficacy of the remedy itself: the carmaker says it might help in low-speed crashes but not high-speed collisions, a position the NHTSA is at odds with. All of this means the campaign doesn't yet have an end in sight.
Jeep teases pair of Moab concepts early
Tue, 19 Mar 2013With the 47th annual Moab Easter Jeep Safari coming up at the end of this month, Jeep is preparing to roll out six new off-road-ready concept vehicles. The first two being teased are the Jeep Grand Cherokee "Trailhawk II" concept and the Jeep Wrangler "Slim," and while we have no information on either, we at least get an idea of what they'll look like.
We can't tell why this Wrangler is called Slim, but it has a nice black-and-red paint scheme with a serious off-roading front bumper and five-spoke beadlock wheels. There's even less we can figure out about the Grand Cherokee's Trailhawk II concept except that it appears to be painted up in the same Crusher Orange paint job as the recently introduced SRT Viper TA. We'll likely more of these as well as peeks at the other Moab concepts as we get closet to this year's Moab Easter Jeep Safari, which will be held March 23 through 31.
2014 Jeep Cherokee facing production delay
Fri, 17 May 2013Jeep's bold-faced new direction spearheaded by the 2014 Cherokee is facing some teething issues. According to a report by the Detroit Free Press, production start-up of the controversial new utility vehicle at its Toledo North facility is running about a month behind schedule "due to a wide range of issues." That's according to Mark Chernoby, senior vice president of engineering at Chrysler.
Chernoby maintains that the issues being encountered aren't unusual for the launch of a new vehicle - particularly one with a new powertrain - and he downplayed the delay, telling Jeep dealers that they "will have ample inventory of the midsize SUV by fall." Among the kinks being worked out? Calibrating the Cherokee's cutting-edge ZF nine-speed automatic transmission and refining assembly line tasks to make the process more efficient.
Chrysler expects to start building retail-ready versions of the Cherokee around mid-June, with official sales slated to start in September.
