Up for auction is a super rare 1997 Jeep Cherokee factory stick shift five speed transmission truck. They made millions of these XJ Cherokees, however very few manual transmissions between 1997-01. I have been told less than 400 per year were sold in the U.S. with a manual transmission between 1997-01. Years ago when I purchased this truck, I looked for 3 months for it. They are very hard to find!

I have owned and enjoyed this Cherokee for many years and it has been meticulously maintained. I am only selling it because I needed a larger vehicle, so I ended up buying a Ford Excursion. I really don't want to sell, but then again I really don't need it anymore.

Starting off with the body, it is near mint and almost rust free. Two years ago Clausen Collision in Ira, Michigan completely restored the body, including new rocker panels, a new driver side fender, and a new passenger side floor pan. It was completely repainted at the time as well.

The header panel and grille were replaced two months ago because I hit a deer. It was a minor accident, but did require a new radiator. The A/C condenser was damaged, so it was removed. I planned to put a new one in before summer if I still have the Jeep, so the A/C currently does not work, but it does have a new radiator.

Within the last two years both axles were completely rebuilt, with new differential side bearings installed. The front is a Dana 30 and is equipped with a lock right locker and new wheel bearings and axle shaft U-joints. The rear axle is a 29 spline 8.25 Chrysler. Both axles have new brakes, and the rear has new shocks. Both axles have stock 3.07 gears. The transmission is an AX15 and the transfer case is a 231J

The tires are BFG All Terrains and are 30x9.50x15 and have less than 10,000 miles on them.

There is a custom 2 inch receiver built into the front bumper that also has mounts underneath for a tow bar. I used to tow this behind my motorhome and will include the tow bar for an additional $100 to the high bidder should they wish to purchase it.

The exhaust, including the catalytic converter, is new.

Within the last 10,000 miles the following parts have been replaced: Water pump, Alternator, Full tuneup including coil, O2 sensor, VSS Sensor, Clutch, Brakes, Tires, Washer motor . I have put over $3,000 into the Jeep in the last two years keeping it in the great shape it is.

The only known issues are the lack of AC Condenser, The rear wiper and washer do not work, and the Engine light turns on and off randomly but it runs great, and the turn signal does not return to center, I have a new switch that will be included with sale.

The interior is fair but getting worn. I used the vehicle for alot of highway miles delivering flowers, so the seats have some staining from various flower arrangement chemicals that leaked onto them. They might clean up with a good detailing machine but I'm not sure. All the plastics are good. There is a nice set of Huskyliner floor liners. The steering wheel is peeling and taped.

The Jeep has a brake controller for towing. It runs and drives great, and gets great fuel mileage. It also has rare crank windows!

I have recently driven this truck all the way to the Mexican Border and back, and would not hesitate to drive it to Alaska tomorrow.

The title is clear and in my name.

All the glass is good. One small chip in the windshield.

This truck is located in Marine City, Michigan.

Sold AS IS Where Is. Keep in mind this is an older vehicle and not perfect, although this one is very nice. I will consider delivering for a fee, or you can fly in and drive it home, I can pick you up at Detroit Metro or Flint Airport. It runs and drives great. The vehicle will not be available for pickup Mar 31st-April 6th.

Full payment will be due within 7 days in CASH or Certified Check/Bank Transfer only. If you wish to pay entire balance with Paypal, you must pay Paypal fees that are charged to me as well. Must be picked up within 30 days of auction end and after 30 days I reserve right to resell with no refunds being made.

This is your opportunity to own a fantastic rare Jeep, don't miss out! Bid Often, bid early!

You are more than welcome to come and view vehicle in person before bidding, however I will not sell outside ebay. My number is 8onezero 614-8038 please call 9AM-9PM please

Chrysler investigating complaints of vehicles with faulty power modules

Sun, 24 Aug 2014

Chrysler owners are hopping mad after experiencing a series of electrical gremlins in some of the company's vehicles. Issues range from mere annoyances - windows rolling down and radios turning off of their own accord - to serious safety issues, with headlights that randomly shut off at night and cars that stall and refuse to start.
The issues are being blamed on the total integrated power module, which can cost up to $1,000 for customers to replace. This, of course, has led to a hefty batch of complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with 240 owners expressing their displeasure so far. Another site, CarComplaints.com, has registered over 300 complaints relating to the 2010 to 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango, alone, according to The New York Times.
Chrysler has acknowledged that it's investigating the complaints and is analyzing the faulty TIPMs, but that isn't quite enough for customers of the affected vehicles. The newspaper has snagged a few of the more harrowing tales with the electrically challenged Chrysler products, culled from the NHTSA complaints.

Chrysler accelerates Jeep recall repairs from 2018 to March

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

You may remember that Jeep's unusual fix for this recall involves fitting a trailer hitch.
The recall of about 1.5 million models of the 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty and 1993-1998 Grand Cherokee over fuel tanks may finish far sooner than originally estimated. In a new filing from Jeep's parent, Chrysler Group, with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the company says that it can complete the repairs for the affected vehicles by March 2015, much sooner than the previous estimate of sometime in 2018. Jeep predicts the total cost of the campaign will be around $151 million.
