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.

2014 Jeep Cherokee: Fall colors tour [w/video]
Thu, Dec 11 2014The Trailhawk's rugged good looks were right at home against the backdrop of changing seasons. Regardless of where you choose to call home, you've probably seen, or at least heard, about the Pure Michigan ads, showing off all the splendor that the Mitten State has to offer. You can make fun of them all you want (several spoofs already exist), but as a native, I fully stand behind the idea that Michigan is a truly gorgeous place. The western coast along Lake Michigan and the northern half of the Lower Peninsula are seriously pretty, and vastly different from the southeastern area that houses big cities like Detroit, Ann Arbor, Flint, and so on. Beyond that, the Upper Peninsula is the closest you'll get to seeing vast spoils of untouched wilderness, and trust me – it's truly pretty. I've seen the world, but I still feel all warm and fuzzy every time I venture north to experience all the vistas that my own state has to offer. In the autumn months, the changing leaves in Michigan put on quite a display. Sure, this happens all over the world, but we truly embrace autumn in the Wolverine State, and practically every Detroit-based Autoblog staffer has gone on at least one fall colors tour to the northern Lower Peninsula to take it all in. That's exactly what associate multimedia producer Chris McGraw and I did just over a month ago, behind the wheel of our long-term 2014 Jeep Cherokee. The Trailhawk's rugged good looks were right at home against the backdrop of changing seasons, and we opted to capture the whole experience on video for this latest long-term update. The Tunnel of Trees is a picturesque stretch of Michigan's M-119 highway that starts just northeast of Petoskey. As you can see in the video above, the Tunnel of Trees is a picturesque stretch of Michigan's M-119 highway that starts just northeast of Petoskey and follows Lake Michigan's Little Traverse Bay. This winding road through the woods goes on for nearly 30 miles, largely unobstructed by neighborhoods, fueling stations, shops, or roadside fodder, and spits you out at the famous Legs Inn in Harbor Springs. (Top-notch Polish food, if you're hungry.) From there, you can either continue north toward Mackinac City and the Mackinac Bridge that connects Michigan's lower and upper peninsulas, or you can turn around and take in all the goodness again.
Jeep Wrangler JK's exit interview: brilliant, flaws and all
Tue, May 24 2016The engineers at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Jeep's current steward (and there have been many), have to be sweating bullets as they ready the forthcoming, long-overdue replacement for the Wrangler. It's the brand's icon, its most recognizable vehicle, and the reason Jeep enjoys such success today. Most brands use their flagships to lure shoppers who will then take home a more practical, pedestrian model. Think about the relationship between Corvettes and Malibus in the Chevy showroom. For Jeep, however, the Wrangler is a business unto itself: Nearly one in four Jeeps sold new last year was a Wrangler. That's a lot of pressure as Jeep gears up to replace the current model, codenamed JK, which has been on the road since 2007. I took a Wrangler into the woods to ponder it all. The Wrangler lineup starts around $26,000 but climbs rapidly from there. At the upper end of the spectrum sits the Rubicon Hard Rock, which builds on the already capable Rubicon's locking differentials and electronic front sway bar disconnect with a host of styling goodies. At $43,325 as tested, the Hard Rock is no cheap trail toy. Wranglers have gotten more comfortable and capable over the years, but driving one is still an exercise in compromises. Luxury here means durable leather upholstery and a lot of bass from the stereo. The driving experience is of the "well, it's better than it used to be" variety on pavement. The rational buy in this segment is the Toyota 4Runner Trail, which goes off-road almost as well as the Jeep and does everything else way better. But nobody takes home a Wrangler because it makes sense. It's a middle finger extended in the direction of conformity while fording the river of beige Corollas between home and office. You don't need a Wrangler, but you probably want one. That's why Jeep sold more than twice as many Wranglers as Toyota did 4Runners last year – and the 4Runner sells well. Wrangler sales aren't slipping, but increasingly stringent emissions and safety standards are signs of the inevitable forward march of progress – and so Wrangler must change with the times. Simple ways to improve the Wrangler are obvious: An updated interior with a modern infotainment system, user-selectable traction control modes tailored to specific terrain conditions, an eight-speed automatic, better aerodynamics, and a lot of weight-saving aluminum are inevitable.
