Wagoneer 4x4




VIN: 1J4GS5872LP500173



 

This beautiful and clean 1990 Grand Wagonner 4x4 is presented here for your consideration. This vehicle has been in my family for nearly 10 years. It has been meticulously maintained with love ever since our acquisition in 2004. It served as a weekend car (not for daily driving), thereby keeping the miles low. Just 69,540 actual miles. By keeping the car in a temperature controlled garage, we have kept the paint (and wood) looking fantastic. Owing to her age, nearly every mechanical component has been overhauled or replaced, at a significant financial investment. All of the records and receipts of these repairs have been kept. Despite being 13 years old, this car starts, idles, drives, turns, cruises and brakes without flaw. I have recently used it for multiple 200 mile trips to and from my summer home. This car is ready to drive anywhere in the country. The only reason for sale is that after 10 years it is time to move on. She's ready to find another loving home. 


The many pictures really tell the story of this Grand Wagoneer. Upon looking them over, you will surely agree that it has been well cared for since new. A title history is available and there are NO title defects or history of any body or storm damage, insurance, salvage, repossession, rollback or anything else of concern. The 4x4 mode is working properly, so with just the flip of an interior switch you will find sure footing in snow or mud. Most of the time you will be in 2WD, thereby not unnecessarily using the strong 4x4 system. I've rarely used the 4WD but have recently tested that it works. 


The engine compartment is well sorted, and the engine runs as it should, firing strong on all eight cylinders. The oil pressure gauge reads where it should and the automatic transmission shifts smoothly through all gears with NO slippage. A tow package was specified and there is an electrical connection in place. This high trim level model includes factory air conditioning (upgraded to modern specification), power steering and brakes, power windows and locks (all power windows and doors working properly), and powered tailgate glass (also working properly, which is rare on this model/year). Every interior switch and light has been brought up to as new standard. The power brakes work perfectly with no pulling or binding and she drives perfectly straight. Four (4) Michelin LTX AT 235/75R15's have been recently fitted (an expensive tire), with nearly all tread depth remaining (see pictures). Shock absorbers were also replaced at the same time. This Grand Waganeer has had a veritable multitude of of mechanical equipment replaced, including some expensive components. Recent work includes the carburetor, radiator, brakes, brake lines, alternator, electrical connections, battery, exhaust, steering, tie rods, AC compressor, oil pressure switch, dash glass, dash overlay, vent glass, tires, shocks, central electrical control module, accelerator pump, accelerator linkage, starter, ignition module, heater hoses, tail gate lifter, and more. All of this work has been performed during the the last 20k miles! 


Partial list of new equipment/repairs:

  • New alternator and electrical connections
  • New battery
  • New exhaust
  • New AC compressor and upgrade to 134 coolant & charge (over $1500 invested in the A/C alone)
  • New oil pressure switch
  • New dash glass
  • New dash overlay
  • New vent glass
  • New tires & shocks (over $1500 invested)
  • New electrical control module 
  • Repaired accelerator pump & linkage
  • New Starter
  • New brake lines
  • Carburetor Overhauled
  • New ignition module
  • New heater hoses
  • New radiator (over $600 invested)
  • New steering linkage and tie rod (over $700 invested, drives perfectly straight now)
  • New tail gate lifter 
  • Power tail glass lifter repaired 


The air conditioning system on this car has been completely redone and brought up to the most recent standard. Completely new compressor, seals, and charge. Over $1500 has been spent on the A/C alone.



ALL of the work has been done in the last 20k miles, much of it being just in the last 10k miles! The engine and mechanicals have all been very well maintained. A veritable fortune has been spent on new equipment and repairs. Most importantly all of the records of these repairs have been meticulously kept and will come with the car. Over forty pages of repair records are present.


There is minor rust near the wheel wells as pictured (which is expected on any car of this age). It is nothing that couldn't be easily repaired and repainted to brand new condition under a full restoration. 




Please take a close look at the remarkable interior of this Jeep. Typically the leather and fabric on these are worn out, torn, or split, not on this one. Both front buckets are in excellent shape with no cracks, splits, or holes. The rear seats are in equally good shape, as are the door panels, headrests, and carpet throughout including the cargo area. Your passengers and guests will be surprised when they see it for the first time and notice that it has leather and power everything - a trendsetting classic with original amenities! The dash is also impressive, with clear gauges and electronic clock, all working flawlessly. There is also an factory overhead console with an electronics compass, thermometer, and map lamps, all working perfectly. If you are comparing this car to other restored Wagoneers, notice that this car does not have a moonroof, this is a good thing. The roof of a car is the absolute worst place to ad weight. The aftermarket moonroofs you'll find on some Wagoneers, present a failure point resulting in electrical problems and leaks, and actually reduce headroom (to make room for the components). You won't have any of those problems on this Wagoneer. The roof is as solid as it was when she left the factory with the original wood grain roof luggage rack is also present and undisturbed. Most importantly the original wood exterior siding (an irreplaceable part) is in pristine condition. The original radio has been upgraded to a modern JVC system with a theft-deterrent removable face and two auxiliary remotes included. Jennsen multi-way audio speakers are present throughout. 




A timeless classic fun to drive and gets approving nods wherever she goes. 

Thank you for your consideration and enjoy.

Everything we know about the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL

Tue, Oct 18 2016

The 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL is perhaps the most highly anticipated SUV in America. The next-gen Wrangler is expected to get a host of updates that include new front and rear end designs, as well as an all-new pickup truck variant. Here's everything we know about the next version of Jeep's iconic SUV. November 7, 2016: JL Wrangler Forums released renderings of the 2018 Wrangler, and the SUV will generally stay the course. Compared with the current Wrangler, the new one will likely have slightly more aerodynamic bodywork and LED lighting, and the truck version's bed will carry traditional Wrangler design cues. The renderings also visualize what a Wrangler without a fully removable top could be like. The loss of the removable top is currently a rumor, and FCA's well-camouflaged prototypes have not given up the secrets of the roof. View 6 Photos October 18, 2016: Images of the upcoming Wrangler JL from a supposed Jeep dealer meeting surface, revealing the SUV's updated front and rear end design. The renderings point towards the next-gen Wrangler maintaining a seven-slot grille and round headlights. The SUV, though, will obtain LED light bars on the front fenders, while the taillights get a similar design to the units found on the Renegade crossover. Overall, the renderings display a smoother shape than ever before. September 16, 2016: A report from JL Wrangler Forums indicates that the next-gen Wrangler JL would utilize aluminum on the hood, as well as on the front and rear doors. The report claims the Wrangler will get its aluminum from supplier Alcoa, in the form of the company's C6A1 high form alloy, 6022 alloy sheet, and A951, which is the company's sheet bonding technology. View 30 Photos July 20, 2016: The first images of the Wrangler pickup truck hit the web. The pickup truck appears to be riding on a long-wheelbase Wrangler and flaunts a decently sized bed. From the overhead photos, we can see that the pickup truck will have a seven-slot grille, large rear taillights that mimic ones found on Ram's trucks, and be about the same size as a Chevrolet Suburban. Oh yes, the Wrangler pickup truck does exist and it's coming. July 10, 2016: A report from Automotive News claims that the Wrangler JL will continue to have its iconic, boxy shape, but changes have been made to ensure that the SUV is better off in terms of fuel economy. What Jeep has done to improve the next-gen Wrangler's fuel efficiency, though, is still a mystery.

Chrysler reports $166M net income for Q1, down $307M vs. 2012

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Preliminary first-quarter results from 2013 have been announced by Chrysler, and the company is reporting a net income of $166 million on revenue of $15.4 billion. Compared to this period last year, net income is down $307 million and revenue has dropped $1 billion.
Chrysler says that its quarter was negatively affected by the costs associated with launching its 2013 Ram Heavy Duty, 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and preparation for the return of the all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee pictured above. The launches should provide a strong second half of 2013, says the automaker. "We remain on track to achieve our business targets, even as the first-quarter results were affected by an aggressive product launch schedule," said Chrysler Group LLC Chairman and CEO Sergio Marchionne.
On a positive note, the automaker says worldwide vehicle sales are up 8 percent from one year ago, a number pushed by a 12 percent bump in U.S. retail sales. In addition, domestic market share has risen slightly, up to 11.4 percent from 11.2 percent last year. Read more in the official statement below.

Chrysler's Woodward Dream Cruise festivities include Ram concept truck debut

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

The streets will be crowded next weekend along Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak, Michigan for the 19th Annual Woodward Dream Cruise. As part of the run-up to the festivities, Chrysler has announced that all of its brands - Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Fiat, SRT and Mopar - will bring along their latest vehicles. Also included will be a collection of classic American cars and various activities for attendees at the official Chrysler location on the corner of Woodward and 13 Mile Road.
Special to this year, Ram brand director Bob Hegbloom and head of design John Dehner will unveil a Ram concept truck on Saturday. Chrysler will also bring Ryan Friedlinghaus of West Coast Customs fame along to show off a few custom Chrysler-made vehicles of his own. Fans of the brand on Facebook will get the chance to virtually customize a vehicle from the automaker's portfolio, with the winner getting their dream car built for them by Chrysler. Pretty cool stuff, no?
As in past years, Ford and General Motors will have an official presence at the event as well, and you can expect to see plenty of cars of all makes and models from all parts of the globe. The madness starts this Friday, August 16, from 4:30 PM to 10 PM, with the main event taking place on Saturday, from 9 AM to 9 PM. For more details on the show, including events and their times, check out the press release below.
