Clean title. Great on or off road. Selling my Custom built turn key Lifted 1997 Jeep Cherokee XJ . The jeep drives like a Cadillac on the road, and is a tank off road. It has a new used 1 owner Engine with 105k with a bunch of new parts. on body and odometer it reads 205k. 4wd. AUTOMATIC. Cruise Control. Leather seats. Tan exterior, grey & dark grey int. Cold a/c & Warm heat (New heater core installed last winter). This Jeep is good on gas.

Technical info :4.5" Rubicon Express lift (all new upper and lower control arm bushings). total lift with spacer 5". New set of 35' All terrain tires. ARB Bull Bar Bumper winch ready. 2 Hella 700 auxiliary lights. Slip Yolk Eliminator. hp30 front axel / 8.25 rear. NP231. Additional heavy duty transmission cooler. roof rack with spare tire. Small class 1 hitch to pull a jet ski.

*The Engine was installed 3/31/13 (when installed it had 98k), it runs great, turn key. if properly maintained it should go past 300k.
The Engine got all new gaskets, plugs, wires, water pump, etc. All Premium grade no cheap stuff.

* More than $6-7k has been spent on this Jeep to make it look and drive strong, I am selling as is, but after all the work I have done to it now, it should last you a long time. Very capable. This Jeep is rust free on frame and body.

*Just rebuilt the front axle & new fuel pump. starts at first turn and better response.

I painted the Jeep with Plasti-Dip, this can peel off, the color is green, the hood and roof are faded, the rest of the body is good, few branch scrapes here and there, and the back bumper was bent passenger side, small dent.

This is a southern Jeep, It has no rust, it's been in NY give or take 3 years.

NY Inspection Done 4/13/13 good for a Year

The bad but not really bad: the Jeep could use are new shocks(Bilsteins 5100), and the rear drive shaft rebuilt (it has a small click on it but it drives fine), and the steering box is leaking, I would upgrade the steering box (The Durango), and a 1 ton steering bar be installed to make it a better daily driver . You can drive as is. I am always working on it to enhance it, If I install these items myself I will increase the price of the Jeep. As far as little things it needs a horn I was going to upgrade to a train horn. and the front windshield fluid is not working, might be a simple or cheap fix and rear wiper not working could be a loose connection or cheap fix The drivers side seat needs to be connected it is the only electric seat, I have the wires (If you are tall it is fine, if you short that will need to be addressed). I upgraded seats to leather (the drivers side has the common jeep tear) I know some guys think this is priced a bit high, but this jeep is ready to go to California & Back, a few trail rides, and some good old fashion wheelin.

Radical 2016 Jeep Wrangler suggested by job listings?

Fri, 31 May 2013

With most inside the industry expecting the next-generation Jeep Wrangler to arrive for the 2016 model year, it makes sense that the automaker would be looking for some choice candidates to to fill program openings as the off-roader goes through its development. A recent ad on Chryslercareers.com suggests to some that the lightweight Wrangler Stitch Concept, revealed just two months ago and shown above, provides some clues about the off-road icon's next iteration.
According to Automotive News, the job descriptions - which don't name the model specifically - hint that the next-generation Wrangler will benefit from a serious diet. The ads appear to seek those familiar with advanced high-strength steels, hinting that lightweight aluminum body panels may appear on the 4x4. In addition, there are suggestions that Jeep may fit the Wrangler replacement with air suspension, as seen on the Ram and Grand Cherokee, to retain ample off-road clearance yet lower that chassis to improve aerodynamics at highway speeds. The job postings reportedly also lend credence to the idea of a diesel Wrangler.
It seems every bit of the next-generation Wrangler is up for review, as it will be the first time this iconic model is redesigned under Fiat ownership. Questions remain whether or not the Jeep will retain its clip-down hood, easy-to-remove door pins and folding front windshield - loyalists expect them, but fuel economy and safety standards may crimp their cases for survival.

25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango SUVs recalled over brake feel

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

Chrysler has announced that it is recalling over 25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from several markets over concerns about brake feel under hard braking. The affected models are from the 2012 and 2013 model years, although the actual dates of production aren't available. 18,700 are in the US, while 825 are in Canada, 530 are in Mexico and a further 5,200 outside of North America.
According to a statement, Chrysler was informed of the issue by a component supplier for the Ready Alert Braking system, which primes the brakes in anticipation of an emergency stop. A component in the system was restricting the flow of brake fluid too much.
As Chrysler is quick to point out, the way the brakes functioned was in compliance with regulations and there are no reported cases of drivers losing braking power. Instead, the issue rests with what Chrysler calls a pedal feel that "was not consistent with customer expectations." So it would seem Chrysler is being proactive and fixing a problem not because there's a legal issue at work, but simply because it doesn't feel the way the manufacturer wants it to. Well done.
