NO RESERVE............NO RESERVE

I’m selling the Jeep I bought a couple years back (a car I bought specifically for my son as a learning vehicle).

 

When my son got his drivers’ license I wanted to put him in a tank. Something safe but also something I would have to worry about getting damaged.  This 1996 Jeep Country fit the bill perfectly.  As you see in the photos it came already “Pre-dented” in the front and rear, so a few more scrapes and scratches would hardly be noticeable.

 

I have put significant money into it trying to make it safe and reliable.

I will list all the good points AND bad below.

 

My son is now gone to college and it is starting to sit around in the driveway.

I would like to give it a new home and get it out of my way.

It would make an excellent first car (as I have used it) for anyone.

 

It RUNS and drives well.  Starts every time however there are a couple nagging issues.

 

1)     Exhaust leak.  You can hear it when the car is started, but after it warms up, it goes away.  Not affecting performance.

2)     Awful (yet intermittent) vibration at highway speed after you hit a significant bump.  I have replaced just about every component in the front end and the shocks all around but didn’t seem to fix the problem.  (As a result I only allow my son to drive it locally and below highway speeds).

 

The GOOD:

Everything works – I think.  I can’t check the AC now, but it was working.

Replaced: Shocks, Tie Rod, Tie Rod Ends, Adjustment Sleeves and Dampner.

Power Steering Service

Brake Service Front – Pads and Rotor

Battery

4 Wheel drive works

Power windows and locks

Radio (w CD)

Newer tires

 

 

The Bad:

Dents front and rear (in pictures)

Fabric on the Head liners is loose (holding with pins)

Crack in front windshield (been there for years)

Back hatch broken shocks (opens and closes – but won’t stand open on it’s own)

Auto Passenger Door lock works (but sticks sometimes – have to reach over to unlock it)

 I’m offering this at No Reserve – but reserve the right to end it early because I will also attempt to sale it locally.

 

You will need to arrange you own pick up.  I would not drive it on the open road because I still don’t know the cause of the intermittent vibration.  If you are local then driving it will not be a problem.  It will go all day long on surface streets and below highway speed.

 

You are more than welcome to see it and test drive it.

Jeep gives a trio of customs an encore showing at SEMA

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

While Jeep certainly had some new customs on display at this year's SEMA show, it wasn't afraid to recycle a few that people might have missed from earlier this year. The maker of many beloved off-roaders already displayed the Jeep Cherokee Dakar, Maximum Performance Wrangler and Wrangler Mojo at the 2014 Easter Safari, but they all made it to SEMA for an encore.
Based around the Trailhawk, the Cherokee Dakar (pictured above) imagines an even more off-road-capable version of the crossover. The concept wears a mix of Silver Steel Stain paint with Flame Red graphics and rides on 17-inch wheels wrapped in 33-inch BFGoodrich Mud Terrain tires. To back up the rugged look, the Dakar is fitted with rock rails and skid plates protecting the oil pan, front suspension, fuel tank and other underbody parts. It also sports prototype parts from Jeep Performance Parts, including a lift kit and fender flares.
The Wrangler is one of the paragons of off-roading, and as the name suggests, the Maximum Performance Wrangler concept is meant to be the ultimate example of what it can do. The custom features locking Dana 60 axles front and rear, a 4:1 Rock-Trac transfer case, prototype 4-inch lift kit and 37-inch Mud Terrain tires over beadlock wheels. To stay on the trails well into the night, a bar of LEDs is mounted above the windshield. And finally, the Mopar Blue exterior kind of makes the vehicle look like the world's toughest blueberry.

Chrysler extending production of current Dodge Avenger, Jeep Wrangler, Grand Caravan

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Are you hesitant to pull the trigger on a brand new Dodge Avenger in hopes that a new one will be coming? Well, don't hold your breath. According to The Detroit News, Chrysler will be extending production of the current Avenger sedan through the end of 2015.
Originally, we heard that the company would kill the Avenger to better focus its midsize sedan efforts on the Chrysler 200 replacement. But then new reports stated there would indeed be an Avenger successor, and that we could see it as early as next January. This Detroit News report cites supplier sources confirming the extension of Avenger production, though Chrysler has not released an official statement on the matter.
These same suppliers say that the current Jeep Wrangler will live on through mid-2018 - that's right, another five years. The Detroit News reports that a replacement for the iconic, go-anywhere Jeep was due in mid-2016.
