1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer

This has been a great vehicle for me.  I have owned this Jeep for roughly three years.  I am in the process of moving and am looking to part ways with my Jeep.  This Jeep is a classic.  It has been a good runner for me.  I talked with my wife at great detail about this and have come to realize a few things.  1) I am not a mechanic. 2) I do not want to become a car guy because I would rather spend my money on other hobbies.  

I have noticed over the past few months that there was some oil leaking from the Jeep. I took the Jeep into a mechanic this week and was given the following things to look at.  1) Manifold Gasket Set  2) Valve Cover Gasket Set  3) Battery  4) Coolant.  The estimated repairs with parts and labor at this specific shop came out to $888.04.  Please be aware of this.  These are repairs the mechanic could see from the outside of the engine.  There could be more once the engine is worked on.  The driver side window needs a new track in order to function.  I was told by the same mechanic the part can be purchased for about $10.  I have a picture of the window motor in my pictures.  The plastic track is what needs to be replaced.  There are minor rust spots on the body.  There is a major rust spot through the rear passenger side floor.  This spot goes through the floor and is the size of a softball.  Please see the pictures.  I had the mechanic fix the tow package, so you could pull something if desired.  The interior is in fair to good shape.  The carpet is in good shape in both the front and middle of the Jeep.  The carpet has started to deteriorate in the rear of the Jeep.  If you look at the pictures, you will see a wiring system sticking out of the back door of the Jeep.  This was something I had installed to operate the rear window.  On this particular model, you need to roll down the rear window before opening the tailgate.  If you look closely at the mileage gauge, the number in the one hundred thousandths place looks different.  This has led me and my wife to feel as if a previous owner has tampered with the mileage gauge.  Once again, I am not a mechanic.  I want to make sure I am being as honest as possible with this description.  If you have questions on anything else you see, please let me know.

On a final note, I am looking to sell this Jeep because I feel I can spend my money on other hobbies.  This would be an awesome vehicle for somebody looking to restore or have a fun project at home.  There is a reserve on this Jeep because it does have a lot of nice qualities to it.  The best being that it is a cool ride.  Please feel free to email me your questions and I will try to be as honest as possible about it.  Please understand my knowledge of everything automobile related is limited, but I will try to do my best to help you out.

Watch this R/C Jeep Wrangler plow snow

Mon, 06 Jan 2014

There's no denying the fact that the Jeep Wrangler is one tough and rugged vehicle, and there is apparently little lost when the SUV is shrunk down for a 1:10th scale radio-controlled version. Proving that the Axial SCX10 Jeep Wrangler is not your run-of-the-mill R/C car, YouTube user Andrew Dykiel posted a pair of videos showing it clear about an inch of snow from his sidewalk and driveway during a snow storm last month.
Starting at $379.99, the Axial SCX10 costs more than most budget snowblowers, but other than paying a neighbor kid to shovel your snow, this might be the best way for a car guy to clear snow without the need for hot chocolate and ibuprofen. Better yet, it's electric, so it's zero-emission answer to snow removal! Scroll down to see how this R/C Jeep can help "shovel" snow from the warmth of your sofa. We've also thrown in a bonus video showing the mini Jeep negotiating the Rubicon Trail.

Chinese Jeep production confirmed with Fiat, Guangzhou agreement

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

Fiat has just finalized a deal originally set up in January between it and China's Guangzhou Automotive Group to bring Jeep production to China. It remains unclear which models will be built, although we're wagering that it'll be the 2014 Cherokee. What we do know, now, is where production will take place.
According to Automotive News, Guangzhou originally wanted production to take place in its home assembly plant in its namesake city. Fiat has battled to send production to a joint venture facility established between Guangzhou and Fiat in the town of Changsha. The joint facility won out, and now the factory, originally built in 2010 with a 140,000-unit capacity, will see Jeeps rolling out of it.
Currently, the GAC-Fiat factory produces the Fiat Viaggio, a jointly developed product that is closely related to America's Dodge Dart. And while it remains unclear as to which model will join the Viaggio on the assembly line, that model is understood to ride on Fiat's Compact platform. The only Jeep to share those underpinnings is the new Cherokee, so there's not much connecting of dots needed to see why this scenario would make sense.

2015 Jeep Renegade brings the cute

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

The jig is up, the noose is out, we finally found it: the Renegade that Jeep has made, retrieved for a bounty.
Okay, enough of that. Meet the Renegade - Jeep's cute little compact crossover that makes its official debut here at the Geneva Motor Show. We recently brought you a massive Deep Dive into what makes the Renegade tick, and we're now getting our first live look at the tiny Jeep, live from its coming out party in Switzerland.
With the exception of associate editor Jonathon Ramsey, who doesn't know what he's talking about, we at Autoblog are kind of smitten with the little Jeep - it's a really unique package, featuring details that really make it kind of special (notice that jerry can pattern in the taillights, for example). Jeep will offer the Renegade with either a 1.4-liter turbo-four (from the Fiat 500L) or a 2.4-liter naturally aspirated four (from the Dodge Dart), with either a six-speed manual transmission or a nine-speed automatic. There will even be a Trailhawk version with four-wheel drive - properly trail-rated, to boot. The Renegade also features a nifty new My Sky removable roof panel system, giving this little cutie sort of a baby Wrangler feel.
