For Sale: Two (2) Jeep grand wagoneers; one I already owned is a 1987 stock height with some minor transmission problems (slipping when it gets hot) and wanted to fix it up to drive in bad weather and to make a response vehicle for fire calls out of it; but after buying only a few parts to it I realized with all it needed I would be better off to get a parts vehicle and so I bought the 1988 raised one for parts. After getting it home and looking it over the 1988 one was in better shape so I decided just to use the parts from the 87' to fix the 88'. Unfortunately for me my wife will not drive my car (says it's too low to the ground) and took over my jeep. She also hates that it is raised and about fell out of it her 1st time driving it and with us having a 1 year old I was informed it would be "appreciated" if I would just sell it so here I am. Neither one of them are perfect but here is a rundown of what I have:

Both: CLEAR TITLES IN HAND, Have Reese hitches and hookups for trailer lights, Dash tops in good condition, 360 v8 engines with automatic transmissions (87' has issues but still goes and pulls good), 4x4 with high and low range that works great, Headlights are good, Working stereo head units, Working power seats, Drive shafts, u joints and differentials are in good shape and All four differentials are DANA 44's.

The 1987 (parts vehicle) Has a tan interior in decent shape, Has stock autolite 2 BBL corroborator and intake, Has all seats and carpet (some worse for wear), Headliner board no headliner though, New fuel pump, New lifetime warranty starter with receipt (advance auto), New spark plugs, gas gauge and heat gauge work when they want to, Power locks work, Has all window glass except left rear door glass (was swapped to the 88'), Window motors work but two were swapped to the 88' the old ones are in the back of the 87'), Tailgate glass works with switch and key, marker lights and right rear light housing swapped to the 88', Has working a/c but need to be charged, Does not have emissions stuff on it except the converter, chrome tape on the top of the grill is damaged in a small spot, clear coat is peeling, Can run and drive but needs a battery, needs a new water pump (pumps but not enough for a trip over 30 minutes), has decent 235/75-15 tires with 40% tread left on them, has spare with tire and holder, The frame has surface rust, the left side floor pan is rusting out, alternator moved to the 88', and is stock height.

The 1988 (lifted vehicle) Has a rebuilt engine (I didn't do it the guy I bought it from did it), Has an Edelbrock 1405 600 CFM 4 BBL carburetor, Edelbrock intake, new alternator, MSD coil with high temp plug wires, Currently running and driving, Has a frame lift (of what I was told is) 5 inches, Has a transmission intercooler, Has 31x10.50-15's with 35-40% tread but does have some dry rot but I will throw in the two used tires I have, Has all the light housings and lenses but not all the bulbs (what is missing is on the 87'), Has all the window glass (some need help going down but all will go up by button), tailgate glass will not go down by switch or key (someone unplugged and rerouted the wires) have to use battery and connect to wires someone ran to cargo area, a/c does not work and does not have hoses, Has wood grain vinyl removed (some studs pulled out some left none were ground off unfortunately), Has a sunroof that instead of fixing it someone calked it and pulled the switch out but the glass is good, the paint need to be re-done, the headliner and board are gone, Does not have emissions stuff on it even the converter is gone but I took off the smog pump and is still with it, Has all 4 speakers - the front are durabrand and back are pioneer and power mirrors work.

I can sit here and tell you this is all but you know as well as I do something will always be left out but I can tell you I have went through both vehicles and what is broken or missing on one can be fixed or repaired to working order with parts from the other (except the sunroof) but please feel free to email me with any questions big or small and please realize what you are bidding on. Neither one of these vehicles are by any means finished (unless you want a mud bogger, stump jumper or hunting vehicle) but with some TLC this could become a great project that will end in a vehicle that will last for years; to help the project a slightly used Haynes manual will be thrown in free of charge. If you wanted to the 87' might be able be hauled by the 88' if not going too far. 

These are being sold together and as-is with no warranties or guarantees being implied or written. What you see is what you get. There is a $500.00 (five-hundred dollar) non-refundable deposit required that will be credited to final purchase price upon pick-up and must be paid within 24 hours of auction ending via Paypal ONLY. The remaining balance to be paid in cash on the day of pick up. Unless other arrangements have been made items must be picked up with in 14 consecutive days or item will be relisted and deposit used to cover relisting fees along with time and aggravation charges. No payment plans, personal checks or credit cards. All cashier or travelers checks must clear into my account for ten (10) business days prior to titles being signed and property being pick up. Thank you for looking.

Finding surfing spots in the UK is tough work, even in a Jeep

Sun, 06 Jul 2014

You truly have to love surfing to practice the sport in the United Kingdom. The area isn't exactly teeming with warm beaches full of sunbathers, and absolutely no easy spots to find big waves. To be a UK surfer, you need to be a fearless adventurer, not to mention quite lucky. And driving a Jeep might help, too.
Surfers Oli Adams and Micah Lester are traveling around the British Isles in a Jeep Wrangler Overland trying to find the best surf spots out there. These guys don't fit the laid-back surfer stereotype, but that's because finding waves in the UK is hard work. They say that the waves at some of these spots only exist for about three hours every year when the current and winds are just right.
To find these surf spots, the Jeep's offroad capabilities are paramount. In some areas, as you'll see in the video, there isn't even a beach, just jagged rocks. It would be like the movie Endless Summer, that is, if it could start snowing at any moment. These guys are clearly dedicated to their sport.

Updated 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee ace same controversial moose test it failed in 2012 [w/video]

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

Some background: one of the more scandalous international incidents of he-said/he-said from 2012 was when Swedish magazine Teknikens Varld put the Jeep Grand Cherokee through its "moose (or elk) test" and reported that the SUV nearly rolled over. That lead to a whole lot of accusations and rebuttals: more than one website and Chrysler's own blog reported that the Jeep was overloaded; Chrysler said Teknikens printed the magazine then let Chrysler respond, Teknikens answered all of the charges in a lengthy post and said Chrysler was given a chance to comment before it went to print; when Chrysler sent investigators to oversee the test and the Jeep didn't go up on two wheels as it did in the first test, furthermore all four wheels stayed on the ground when Auto Motor und Sport tested a Grand Cherokee in the same way.
Teknikens then re-ran the test with a new vehicle and said it's been doing this test since the 1970s, uses the loading information that Chrysler provides to the Swedish motor authority and the previous Grand Cherokee passed with no problem. In the second test, the Jeep failed again, then it gave Chrysler engineers access to the car's electronics and ran the test again. In that second round the Grand Cherokee didn't repeat the lurid two-wheel action, but in eleven runs it blew out front left tire seven times. Chrysler still objects to the results of all of those tests and maintains that vehicle was safe.
The 2014 Grand Cherokee was given its shot at the gauntlet in the latest round of moose tests, and Teknikens Varld reports that it passed without any problem at all, its stability control working perfectly, controlling motion at low speeds and all the way up to 44.1 miles per hour. You can watch the video of the new test and read the press release from the magazine on the updated Grand Cherokee below.

WWII Jeep 'found in crate' set to cross Greenwich auction block

Thu, 30 May 2013

Fans of old military vehicles might want to pay extra close attention to the Greenwich Concours d'Elegance coming up this weekend. Crossing the Bonhams auction block on Sunday are a pair of seemingly flawless World War II Jeeps, which are both expected to fetch serious dollars.
Lot Number 305 at the auction is a 1945 Ford GPW Jeep that has been fully restored, which is expected to command between $35,000 and $45,000. Shortly after the Ford GPW, a potentially more interesting 1944 Willys MB (shown above) will be auctioned off, but Hemmings raises some red flags about this Jeep. First, it is claiming to have been "discovered in its original crate about 30 years ago," but there is no proof or documentation of any sort. Also, it is claiming to be all original, but it was given a paint job "shortly after it was discovered." Even with these questionable descriptions, this Willys could reach between $20,000 and $30,000. Head over to Bonhams' site and Hemmings for more information on both WW2-era Jeeps.
