This is an amazing two owner Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8. It was originally owned by a woman in California and then I bought it from a dealer down there and sold to a friend of mine in town here. He owned it for less than a year but decided it didn't fit his needs as well as he had hoped. He intended to drive it year round but decided that it was too nice of a vehicle to drive in Montana winters and then purchased an older Chevrolet pickup to drive during the winter. The Chevrolet broke down on him on the highway here a month or two ago and he decided that it didn't make any sense to have an unreliable older vehicle for the months that you need a very reliable vehicle up here. He traded both vehicles off on a four door Dodge Ram 1500.

My friend is meticulous with his vehicles. He purchased the vehicle when it had 40000 miles on it and he wasn't positive if she had done all the maintenence to it that is required at 30,000 miles so he had my dealership (a Jeep dealer) do all the required work. He had the oil changed (with 0/40 synthetic Mobil), front and rear axle fluids, transfer case fluid and spark plugs all done on 5/16/2013 when the vehicle had 40033 miles. He had the oil changed again and the transmission fluid and filter replaced on 8/15/2013 when the vehicle had 43187 miles. We used all Mopar recommended parts and fluids that are required for the SRT vehicle. He just put on new Toyo Proxes tires all the way around and they have under 1,500 miles on them. He installed a Mopar Cold Air intake during the summer as well. He only drove it once or twice in bad weather and decided he didn't want to subject it to it.

The only bad thing on the whole vehicle is on the liftgate the first owner had a cell phone antenna installed and drilled a hole in the panel. My friend removed the antenna and installed the Mopar emblem to cover it up.

If this Jeep isn't one of a kind it's one of very few, it sounds great, the interior is immaculate, and the attention to detail the second owner gave to the vehicle is impossible to miss. This vehicle was his baby and you can tell the second you look at it.

2015 Jeep Renegade leaks out ahead of Geneva debut

Mon, 03 Mar 2014

Meet the Renegade - Jeep's new baby crossover that's set to debut at the Geneva Motor Show this week. The folks at Jalopnik got their hands on a small batch of photos of the new little cutie, showing what appears to be a Trailhawk (read: trail-rated) version, as well as a more civilian-spec Renegade, complete with a new removable roof system, reportedly called My Sky.
Details are slim, though in addition to the exterior images, one photo of the interior has also been leaked, showing what appears to be a small, yet functional (and nicely appointed) cabin. Early reports suggested that the new small Jeep would be based on the Fiat 500L platform, though Jalopnik rightly points out that the Renegade looks an awful lot like the Panda 4x4. Regardless, there's still likely some 500L bones under there, and we'll know more once the official details are revealed in the very near future.
Head over to Jalopnik for more shots of the cute little Renegade, and stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.

NHTSA boss Strickland weighs in on Jeep recall fracas

Sat, 15 Jun 2013

Adding yet another chapter to the ongoing Jeep recall story, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) head David Strickland has gone on record to defend the government's request that Chrysler recall 2.7 million out-of-production Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Liberty vehicles after the agency investigated fiery rear-end collisions that have reportedly killed at least 51 people over the years. In statements made to The Detroit News, Strickland said, "We felt very strongly that the process that we undertook and the findings that we made and ... we made the decision to issue a recall request. We do not take that very lightly." The top US auto safety regulator stopped short of telling owners to park their cars until the automaker takes action. "They can make their own risk assessment and their own choices," he said.
Chrysler does not intend to recall the models, insisting the "vehicles met and exceeded all applicable requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, including FMVSS 301, pertaining to fuel-system integrity" when they were manufactured and sold. "The company does not agree with NHTSA's conclusions and does not intend to recall the vehicles cited in the investigation. The subject vehicles are safe and are not defective," Chrysler announced last week in a statement. "We believe NHTSA's initial conclusions are based on an incomplete analysis of the underlying data, and we are committed to continue working with the agency to resolve this disagreement."
Legally, Chrysler has until June 18 to formally respond to NHTSA's request. If the automaker does not take action, NHTSA is expected to issue a formal finding and seek a recall.

Watch this 9-year-old drive Jeep Wrangler off-road [w/poll]

Wed, 28 May 2014

This nine-year-old girl might be better at rock crawling than some people twice her age. But is it worth putting her in danger to do it? According to her father on the Jeep Experience Facebook page, her name is Faith, and she has been offroading with her family since she was two. At nine years old, she's now driving her dad's Jeep over the rocks by herself.
As you can see she's belted in and under her father's direct supervision and guidance. She shows immense confidence for someone her age and follows her dad's instructions on exactly what to do. Although, this could still be a very dangerous situation if something went wrong.
Previously, we saw a similar video with a six-year-old on a motorcycle driving on public roads through the desert. Voters decided by only a six-point margin that the adult should be in trouble for letting the kid ride the bike. Here, we have a slightly older child driving a vehicle off road. Where do you fall in this case? Is it still wrong to hand over control to a child? Let us know in the poll below and scroll down to watch the video.
