1997 Jeep Cherokee Sport on 2040-cars
Aragon, New Mexico, United States
Please message me with questions at: kasandrakbbuscarino@ukcatering.com . 1997 Jeep Cherokee 152,400 Miles
Up for sale is my 1997 Jeep Cherokee Sport. I picked it up about one year ago, and I am the second owner. Before I
bought the vehicle there was hardly any work done on it, other than a motor swap. From what I was told by the last
owner there was a knock in the motor at about 138k miles; and it needed to be replaced, so a motor out of a Jeep
Cherokee with 78k miles on it was installed in this vehicle. I picked up this vehicle because of the interior
condition. Out of all the other Jeeps I had viewed, this one was by far the best one. I have maintained it in its
condition since I picked it up.
My original intention was to make this a rock crawler and to eventually do a motor swap to either a stroked 4.6l I6
or an LS1 conversion. My reason for selling it is that I have run out of time (never patience) on the car and I
don’t drive it as much as I would like to. I would like to see it go into someone’s hands that appreciates the
off-road or to a Jeep enthusiast.
I had a trusted shop in town do all of the major work on it, but for the little things I decided to tackle the
project myself. All of the parts on the vehicle are less than a year old, and installed about 7k miles ago. I hate
to say it, but this vehicle hasn't seen as much the off-road as I would have liked.
Full Disclosure:
· Interior is in good shape 9/10
· Exterior is in okay shape 7/10
· Tire tread is at 70%, spare has not been used.
· Exterior does have some hail damage from before I bought it, nothing major.
· Exterior has paint blemish on front fender near hood. (can provide picture)
· Exterior has scratch on rear by the tailgate that is exposed down to the metal.
· Exhaust is starting to rust, which is why I will be providing a new Flowmaster Exhaust kit. (can provide
pictures)
· Paint started to peel just below the driver’s door, on the rocker panel.
· I recently was chasing an ignition issue, which was from the fuel pump giving out. (everything was addressed at
the local Chrysler dealership)
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me.

There are several modifications on this Jeep, so I might have missed some. I believe I got the majority of them.
Keep in mind everything from the ground up to the chassis has been replaced.

Jeep sets all-time sales record in 2012
Wed, 09 Jan 2013Last year was good to Jeep. Chrysler has announced its trail-rated brand set an all-time global sales record in 2012 by moving 701,626 units. That number easily surpasses the previous record set in 1999 when Jeep sold 675,494 models. All told, the brand saw a 19-percent sales increase worldwide over 2011, and much of that swell can be traced directly to the Wrangler. While the Grand Cherokee led Jeep sales, the Wrangler posted record numbers both globally and within the US, moving 194,142 and 141,669 units in each market, respectively.
Meanwhile, the Compass beat its previous global sales record with 103,321 units rolling off of dealer lots. In the US, Jeep sold 62,010 Patriot units, breaking that model's previous record as well. Jeep's impressive performance in 2012 marks the second year in a row the brand has seen double-digit percentage sales increases. Check out the full press release below.
Chrysler nets $1.6B income in Q4, Fiat profit up 5%
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Chrysler announced its 2013 financial results today and unveiled its new name and decidedly bank-like logo. Amid the announcement, Chrysler posted big gains in income, while Fiat didn't perform to analysts' expectations.
For 2013, Chrysler had revenue of $72.1 billion, up 10 percent from 2012. Net income reached $2.8 billion, a 65-percent increase. It was the company's third straight year of annual profits.
In terms of unit sales, Chrysler sold 2.4 million cars worldwide in 2013, up 9 percent. According to Automotive News, 1.8 million of those vehicles were sold in the US, a 14-percent increase. The sales growth boosted Chrysler's US market share to 11.4 percent, up 0.2 percent.
NHTSA still mulling crash tests for recalled Jeeps
Thu, 15 Aug 2013Well, no one should ever accuse the government of not giving things plenty of thought. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is still debating whether it will retest any of the 1.56 million 1992 to 1998 Grand Cherokees and 2002 to 2007 Libertys that were part of a recall regarding fires after rear-end collisions. And yes, this debate has been going on for over a month. In other news...
The recall dustup started in early June, when Chrysler took the unusual position of refusing a recall request from NHTSA regarding placement of the fuel tank on the effected vehicles. NHTSA said a collision could cause a fire, a position Chrysler took issue with. Extensive negotiations ensued, with Chrysler agreeing to fit certain Jeeps with trailer hitches, which it said would provide some protection to fuel tanks mounted behind the rear axle in the event of a collision.
Part of the issue rests with the amount of data that needs to be processed, according to The Detroit News. NHTSA administrator David Strickland said during a Washington Auto Press Association meeting, "There's a lot of data and Chrysler is being very cooperative in giving us more data." Until that information has been sorted, it looks like re-testing will still be up for debate.
