For Sale is a 1997 Jeep Wrangler 4cyl. 5-speed. It does NOT have ac. It has new Goodyear Wrangler mud tires. 33x12.5x15 on aftermarket steel wheels. It has a 4" lift kit and also has a SYE installed. The rear seal on the SYE is leaking but is a easy fix. The Jeep will also need new shocks including the steering stabilizer. It is a 97 and does have some of the typical rust. Top of drivers fender, and the bottom of the rollbar along with the floor at the base of the rollbar. I bought the Jeep about a month ago and gave myself a MAX budget as this was going to be a 3rd vehicle we really didnt need but I wanted. I looked for several months to find a good jeep in my budget but as anyone who has looked for Jeeps in Florida knows, they are pricey down here. This one was listed as needing a fuel pump, not a big deal in a jeep so I took the drive to go look at it. When I got there the guy started it up and it idle. Kind of through me off because if the pump was bad it shouldnt run, right??? So I figured this guy just wasnt mechanically inclined and I bought it. More then I wanted to spend, but I bought it anyway. Towed it home and went shopping. I knew it needed a top so I bought a Rampage soft top, sliders, and the parts for a tune-up. The next day I started working on the jeep and found several other problems. Leaking afterkmarket oil gauge, rusted rollbar, bad radiator, among other things. So I started replacing parts. After the tune-up it still would not run smooth so i checked the pump...bad. Ordered the complete pump assembly ( pump. both filters, sending unit, and pressure unit) and after installing it ran much better but not smooth still. Did some more digging and found the pressure sending unit on the power steering was bad so I bought a new one and installed. Now it runs good. The rust on the rollbar and the floor has been treated with TOTAL SOLUTIONS RUST CONVERTER several times and then sealed with body filler. Then the interior was coated with bedliner. If I was going to keep it i would replace the rollbar just for safety. At this point I have COMPLETELY blown my budget and need to sell the Jeep to keep from getting a divorce. Like I said it does need a few things but it is a good Jeep. Here is what i have done....
Tune-up ( plugs, wires, cap, rotor )
New radiator
New water pump
New complete fuel pump assembly
New oil pressure sending unit
New power steering pressure switch
New serpentine belt
Newer Rampage frameless soft top
Newer Goodyear Wrangler tires 33x12.5x15
2005 Jeep Unlimited front seats
Interior has been bedlined
Also has a 4" lift...not sure what brand
SYE.... again rear seal leaks. $12 fix

Things I know it needs....
door uppers...the ones there are pretty worn
all shocks
SYE seal
And the rollbar should be replaced. Not a big job. rollbars are on craigslist for $150-250. No seam sealer on 97 ( probably why it rusted)

I have not driven the other then around the neighborhood. Like i said I blew my budget trying to get the thing running. I do have a title for it but I have not had it transferred into my name yet. It is going to cost me another $450 to do so, so I would like to sell it to someone that doesnt need it. Some states do not require a title after "X" number of years. If you buy the Jeep and need it I will get it for you but would prefer not to.

Chrysler recalling nearly 141k vehicles over electrical woes

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

Software glitches that randomly illuminate warning lights and cause instrument cluster blackouts are forcing Chrysler to recall 140,800 vehicles, The Detroit News reports. The automaker is recalling 132,000 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokees, 91,559 of which are in the US. In addition to the Jeep recalls, Chrysler is adding 10,800 2014 Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 trucks to the list for similar problems.
Chrysler reportedly says, "Both events occurred infrequently and appeared to resolve themselves by tuning the vehicle's ignition off and then on."
Engineers discovered a problem with the anti-lock-braking system software that causes the instrument cluster display of the Grand Cherokee to illuminate warning lights and black out - even its ABS and electronic stability control systems are affected. To fix the Jeeps, Chrysler will update the vehicle's software.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles recalls nearly 750k vehicles in two campaigns

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is recalling a total of 747,817 vehicles in the US in two separate campaigns recently added to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration database.
The first one covers about 434,581 units of the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Challenger, Durango, and Jeep Grand Cherokee from the 2011-2014 model years with electric hydraulic power steering, the 3.6-liter V6 engine and a 160 amp alternator, according to FCA. In the affected vehicles, it's possible for the alternator to fail without warning and possibly cause the car to stall. According to the documentation submitted to NHTSA, the automaker began investigating the problem in August 2014 and has found possible evidence of one crash caused by the failures but no known injuries.
Customers will begin receiving notification about the recall next month, and obviously the repairs will be done at no cost to them.

Jeep to reveal new 2018 Wrangler in November, document shows

Tue, Oct 24 2017

Jeep's much-awaited next-generation 2018 Wrangler looks set for a November reveal, according to a product graphic released by an FCA employee on Twitter. The SUV off-roader will move from Toledo South to Toledo North for production, with no lost production during the changeover. Information about the 2018 Wrangler has leaked for years now in dribs and drabs. The recent leak of an owner's manual and user guide provided the most details to date, including engine version — a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder or a naturally aspirated 3.6-liter Pentatar V6 Â— plus features like a power sliding top, removable soft top and doors, foldable windshield, 4WD Auto mode. Options include a blind-spot monitoring system and heated seats. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The new Wrangler is expected to feature an evolutionary restyling, with a slightly more aerodynamic body, aluminum body panels, LED lighting, eight-speed automatic transmission and an available diesel powertrain. Jeep has also confirmed a pickup truck version to be revealed shortly after the Wrangler JL. Here's a running list of everything we know about the new Wrangler JL. The FCA chart also suggests Jeep will reveal its new Cherokee and Ram 1500 during the first quarter of 2018, likely at the Detroit auto show.Related Video:
