 1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer
We have owned this great Wagoneer since 2009. It was restored by Classic Grand Wagoneers outside of Dallas, Tx. They are no longer in business but did great work.
This Wagoneer has 88,676 ACTUAL miles. In the photos you will see the Carfax from when I bought it in 2009 showing just over 41,000 miles. When I registered it in New Mexico DMV assumed it was over 100,000 miles since it just has a 5 digit odometer. I have tried and tried to get them to change it but they just don’t want to. I promise and swear this is the Actual milage!
I paid 15K for it in 2009, needless to saw this rig was like new when we bought it. We drive it, we live on a ranch and it has been our go to town ride so it now has some light scratches and rock chips from dirt roads.
We have made some improvements to the performance of this Wagoneer. It is no longer dull and sluggish as they are known to be. We put an Edelbrock intake and 4 BBL carb on it, Doug Thorley headers and a Jardin exhuast and most of the anti-pollution junk seems to have fallen off. This Waggy hauls ass and sounds great all while improving the MPG.We also added HID headlights and replaced the fog/road lights.
The interior is pretty much perfect! No rips, no smells, carpet is rich and deep and the leather is supple.
The exterior is really nice other than a few rock chips along the rockers.
Even the back window and door work!
Only five years from being fully restored this Wagoneer is still in super nice shape and needs nothing!

The not so good...A few months ago we had a flat, while changing the tire it rolled off the jack and got a dent in the tailgate from teh jack handle as seen in the photo. It does not affect the working of the rear window or door.

Watch this Jeep Willys return to its birthplace after 70 years

Sun, 23 Jun 2013

Earlier this month, a very significant Jeep was celebrated at the Toledo North Assembly plant. No, it wasn't the upcoming reincarnation of the Jeep Cherokee, but instead it was a 1943 Willys MB that visited the Toledo grounds where it had been built exactly 70 years ago to the day.
Of course, the actual building where the MBs rolled off the assembly line before heading to Europe for World War II no longer exists, but that didn't stop Italian owner Vittorio Argento from having the vehicle shipped to the US to make its trek back to its birth place. According to Chrysler, Argento's MB is still 95-percent original and it drove 1,000 miles from New Jersey to Toledo.
The whole adventure was chronicled on a blog aptly named A Jeep Comes Home. Scroll down for a brief video from Chrysler and for some photos of the Toledo visit and be sure to read more at Argento's blog.

Jeepster name may be used for Fiat-based baby Jeep

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

In 1948, Willys-Overland, the forbearers of Jeep, built a vehicle called the Jeepster. It was a funky little thing, designed as a mix of the more rugged Jeeps that came before with what was then a modern car, which arguably makes it the world's first crossover. The name was later revived from 1966 to 1972, which means for Jeep enthusiasts, it has some history.
Now, the modern Jeep brand may revive the Jeepster name for a new product, likely based on Fiat bones, that will slot in at the bottom of the brand's range underneath the soon-to-depart Compass and Patriot. The report comes from Australia's Drive, which cites a dealer source that has seen the vehicle.
That same dealer confirmed there is a link between the Jeepster and the rumored Fiat 500X, and that the former will be available in both front and all-wheel-drive variants. The source also claims both gas and diesel engines will be available, although as this is an Aussie site, we shouldn't take that to mean we'll get a diesel Jeepster in the US.

NHTSA closes investigation into Jeep Liberty fires

Sun, 16 Mar 2014

The investigation that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened into the Jeep Liberty in October 2013 has been closed. NHTSA received two (!) complaints about fires starting in the driver's door, thought to be caused by the master power window switch. The initial estimate was that 80,000 Libertys could be roped into a possible recall, but according to a report in the Detroit News the agency examined records for 425,000 Chrysler products that used the same window switch, including the Dodge Nitro and Chrysler Town & Country minivan.
After canvassing 265 warranty claims related to the master switches, NHTSA concluded that the rate of fires compared to the "large population of vehicles" was rather low, and that there was no trend pattern behind the few issues it did find. Perhaps with that, and the closure of the trailer hitch investigation, the Liberty can finally rest in peace.
