Well it is a sad day but time to part with the old Jeep. Just don't get the use out of her anymore. Bought 7 years ago and have put lots of time into her and now time to pass on to someone who will appreciate her. Was an ex-show jeep when wife and I built 7 years ago then became a daily driver for a while and has sat in garage since winter and just haven't done much with her anymore and is now suffering from neglect. Please take time to read entire listing and look at all pics. before bidding.

The Bad: Like I said jeep has sat in garage since winter and last few years and winters of daily driving has taken toll on old girl. Frame was repaired  some time ago and done right but has developed a couple new spots on side of frame size of silver dollar that will need attention. It is not going to break in half  by any means but will been repaired. I have included pics. of damage. Brakes are spongy and was low on fluid. Think wheel cylinder is leaking. Drove around town and steering is a little sloppier then I remember. Always a little sloppy as it is a Jeep.... Whole jeep could use a once over as it has sat around the last couple years and probably only had 500 miles put on it in that time. Great jeep but want to be honest with condition. It is also titled as a 96 ASM(assembled) Jeep due to the replacement fiberglass body. I have never had any issues with licensing or insuring but want you to be aware in case your state is different.. It is technically an 1980 narrow track CJ7 but Title shows 1996 and matches vin on firewall. It has Clear WV title Everything works on lights , heater wipers, etc. it but the radio quit. was coming and going and now wont come on.

The good: Well it is a Jeep!!! It is an all Fiberglass CJ 7. Only steel is the grill, Hood fenders, windshield frame and tub are fiberglass and good quality. Paint still decent but could use repaint.  My wife painted it 7 years ago and rhino lined entire interior at same time.. It has a mild built Chevy 350 Chevy 4 bolt main engine with approx. 50,000 miles on it. has small crane cam, Edelbrock intake and carb. Accel distributor and coil, headers, dual side pipes and lots of accessories. Transmission is an  Chrysler TF 999 automatic with an Advanced adapter  kit to mount to Chevy engine with approx. 20,000 miles on it. has Dana  300 transfer case with dana 30 front and AMC model 20 rear. All stock along with suspension. Newer Bf Goodrich 31"  MT tires. Also has spacers on front and rear to give it wider stance. We built it with intentions of riding back country roads and have never mudded it. It has power steering and still has manual brakes. It has had LOTS of new parts over the years and will give you a rundown.

In last 2-3 years or less. Bestop Top & doors, seats, rims, tires. Aluminum radiator, water pump starter Alternator, Optima battery, Tie rod ends ,ball joints, u joints, brakes, P/S pump, shocks, greasable shackles, roll bar, cover, bikini top, Halo head lights, amp, speakers, stereo, numerous accessories and chrome..... sure I am missing more. I have put a lot of time and money and just am where I don't have time to keep her at the level she should be or interest. Thought about just parting out but don't have heart to tear apart so Figured I would see if I could find a g0od home on here for her. Like I said I have had for 7+years and hard to part with. Thought about selling or trading for old hot rod or Big Harley or something interesting local but the wife doesn't want to see it running around town so here I am!!

Auction terms are as follows. Deposit due of $200. due in 24 hours. rest due in 7 days. You are responsible for pickup or shipping. Would recommend trailering as brakes are stopping but spongy. Up to you. She runs good but due for oil change and tune up and once over from sitting. If you are new to Ebay or got feedback under 10. Please shoot me a message to let me know you understand that if you bid and win you own it. Want this to sell first time with no BS. There is a reserve. Nothing close to what I have in it but fair I think. Bid to find out. I know value of it as I have owned many. Not looking to get rich and know she needs some loving but not giving it away. I can part out worse case and make what I need  to be happy. Thanks for taking time to read all this. I am honest with description and tried to give you all info. Feel free to ask questions  if you need more info.or if you need another pic. Clear title in my name and currently inspected till Nov. of this year. Happy to help. Please only Bid if serious and have CASH.  Have a great day!!

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.

2013 Jeep Wrangler Moab Edition

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

There will forever be a soft spot in my heart for the Jeep Wrangler. The last one I owned was red, and, as a 1990 model, had the square headlights derided by Jeep enthusiasts who grew up on the Civilian Jeeps that descended from their General Purpose military ancestors. As a teenager, I couldn't have cared less what shape its headlights happened to be - to me, a Jeep Wrangler represented freedom; a carefree do-it-all machine equally at home with the top stowed away in the summer or with the heater on full blast in the snowy clutches of Old Man Winter. In Dr. Seuss parlance, my square-headlighted Sneetch was just as worthy as any round-headlighted Sneetch.
All that said, I'll be the first person to advise against buying a Jeep Wrangler of any sort for owners who don't plan to use it as its makers intend. There's no good reason to punish yourself with a stiff and springy ride, a loud and somewhat drafty (though generally water-resistant) interior or the poor fuel economy expected of a block-shaped vehicle if you don't enjoy its other, more exciting benefits.
Of course, Jeep has done its darndest over the years to make the Wrangler as civilized as possible while keeping it as capable as federal law will allow. The 2013 Jeep Wrangler Moab edition is one of Jeep's latest attempts to attract attention from the upper reaches of the active lifestyle set, and I spent a week with one to see what makes the Moab special.

Chrysler delays 2014 Jeep Cherokee media launch

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

Chrysler is making the unusual move of delaying the first media drives of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, which were slated to start next week in Seattle. And while something like this is a rare occurrence, and one that most of the Autoblog staff can't recall happening this publicly or so close to the event itself, it won't effect the actual on-sale date of the new Cherokee, which is set to hit showrooms in September.
"Over the last couple of weeks during final quality and durability testing, we have discovered the opportunity to further improve powertrain calibration," Chrysler told Automotive News. This marks the second notable delay in the Cherokee's short life, after production was delayed for roughly a month earlier this summer.
Still, we'd rather Chrysler make sure the Cherokee is ready for primetime before flying media in from around the country. It shows a willingness to get things right the first time, rather than offering media drives and then tweaking the car after the fact.
