You are bidding on a one-of-a-kind vehicle. While most heads turn when a Jeep GRAND Wagoneer in pristine condition drives by, the sibling Jeep Wagoneer Limited (downsized XJ platform) garners less attention. Partly, this is due to the low production numbers. For the final year of production (1990), only 6,810 vehicles were produced. Of those 6,810, the Wagoneer I am selling is very likely the LAST of this year that has low mileage and is in pristine condition. The original MSRP was $24,795 (a hefty sum back in 1990). Currently, the NADA Classic Cars valuation is as follows: LOW Retail: $5,925 / AVERAGE Retail: $10,650 / HIGH Retail: $17,200. For those wondering about the reserve price, be assured it is under the HIGH retail pricing. Serious bidders for a collector's item are welcomed. This is NOT a vehicle suitable for daily driving or winter usage, as it will cause deterioration. This vehicle is destined for antique status in 2 yrs (2015) and should be treated as such. New battery, new tires, freshly refinished alloy wheels (to original factory finishing specs). One of the most STUNNING aspects of this 23 year-old vehicle is that it is still partially covered by a lifetime warranty -- 1990 was the 1st year that any manufacturer of a 4wd vehicle attempted anti-lock brakes. Jeep was the first! However, there were a number of bugs in Jeep's anti-lock brake system that were ironed out in a year or so of recalls. But, as a good-will gesture, Jeep provided all 1990 Jeeps a free lifetime warranty on the entire anti-lock braking system. During the 12 years I have owned the Jeep, I had only one issue w/ the ABS - in August 2004, the ABS Actuator assembly and motor was replaced free of charge under the lifetime warranty (what would have been a $1,000+ repair). The rear main seal has been replaced and is not leaking (a common malady on the XJ platform). Cosmetically, the vehicle is in pristine condition inside and out, with only some minor surface rust on the undercarriage. The headliner is in perfect condition. It has always been garaged. It is currently registered and insured as a classic vehicle with an insurance appraisal of $17,000. The vehicle comes with a 4" thick 3-ring binder that includes ALL mechanical history/records. Review my 100% feedback rating and bid with confidence!

Chrysler investing $20M in Toledo plant to support 9-speed auto production
Sun, 28 Apr 2013In 2011, Chrysler announced a $72-million investment in its Toledo Machining Plant to modernize production of the eight- and nine-speed torque-converters for automatic transmissions made there. That upgrade work won't be finished until Q3 of this year, but Chrysler has already announced a further $19.6-million investment to increase production capacity for the nine-speeders.
The extra units will be necessary because the nine-speed transmission they'll be mated to is going into three popular models: it will debut on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, then go into the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart. The company predicted that this year alone it would sell 200,000 units equipped with the nine-speed tranny, and it is spending some $374 million in addition to the investment in Toledo to upgrade production capacity for it.
The work attached to this new investment won't begin until Q3 of 2014, and it will be finished by the end of that year. There's a press release below with all the details.
Gilles defends 2014 Jeep Cherokee design as "very contemporary"
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Following the forced-hand introduction of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, there has definitely been a mix of responses revolving around everything from its design to the return of the legendary nameplate. As evidence of this, just check out the 1,000+ comments in our article last week and some of the many opinions that were voiced. Following this not-too-warm reception, Ward's Auto had a chance to talk to Chrysler designer chief - and SRT president - Ralph Gilles, who shed a little more light on the styling direction of the new Cherokee.
Rather than looking to previous models for inspiration, Gilles says that the Cherokee has been designed to be more contemporary, with Mark Allen, head of Jeep design, adding that a main goal was to make sure the design still looks modern five years from now. Interestingly, Gilles does point out that one of the design elements incorporated on the new Cherokee that pays homage to past Jeeps is the sharply downward angle for the leading edge of the beltline, which he notes is meant to mimic the look of the old YJ and TJ Wrangler models fitted with half doors. Of course, the squared-off wheel openings - a signature Jeep cue - are still used.
This is probably a design that will need to be seen on the street in actual daylight to properly assess, but in the meantime, we'll bring you full images and impressions when the Cherokee debuts at next month's New York Auto Show.
AEV Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon
Fri, 28 Feb 2014
After their rented 2007 Hummer H3 failed them during the brutal Rallye Aicha des Gazelles in Morocco, Amy Lerner and her sister Tricia Reina were on a quest to find the most capable production off-roader for their next competition - they chose a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. Their next mission was to find a company with the competence to configure it to win. After poring over Internet forums and perusing countless magazines for an outfitter who could meet their demanding requirements, they sent their bright orange JK ("Crush" is the official color) to American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) for some modifications.
The Michigan-based team at AEV kept the Jeep's 3.6-liter V6 and automatic transmission stock, but replaced the hood with a tall AEV Heat Reduction Hood and added an AEV Snorkel Kit for water crossings (it serves double-duty as its raised height helps to keep the air intake out of the kicked-up dust on the trail). Front and rear off-road bumpers were bolted in place, and AEV skid plates were added to provide additional undercarriage protection. A pair of IPF-900 off-road lights improve visibility, while a 10.2-gallon AEV Fuel Caddy (located behind the exterior spare) added some range. The suspension was upgraded with a 3.5-inch lift kit with Bilstein remote reservoir shocks, and 35-inch Falken Wildpeak A/T tires (LT285/70R17) were mounted at all four corners on AEV's beadlock wheels.
