I am selling my 2001 Jeep Wrangler Sahara

This jeep has 118,000 miles and is a clean CA example with absolutely no rust of any kind with a motor from a 2005 Rubicon with 19k on the clock.

Some details on the car:

- When I purchased the vehicle (unknowing to me) it had a bad (or leaky) cam bearing and when it heated to operating temperature it would lose oil pressure and the light and buzzer would come on. If it didn't have a oil pressure gage or the buzzer was broke you would have never known. I didn't mind but I knew it had to be fixed. These engines are getting harder to come by since this was a common (other people had this happen so not an anomaly) problem around my year motor. I was able to source a 4.0 out of a 2005 crashed Rubicon that had less than 20,000 on the clock and had a professional Jeep business in town remove and install the new motor. This was an entire long block from oil pan to valve cover. We used my peripherals as they were in good condition and may have been replaced already considering how they look and function. As you can see by the pics below this jeep has been very well cared for and will have many more years of trusted service now that it has a new motor. It is dry as a bone underneath and is in good shape. This was not a cheap process and someone will benefit from my effort. I am looking at another vehicle to purchase and this was my "summer fun toy" and it has to go. As you can see it doesn't get off road much and hasn't spent anytime on salted wintery roads.

- As you will see by the paperwork I have all the documentation from the previous vehicle where the motor came from and the motor has the same VIN to verify it's history and mileage.

Some things that come with the jeep:

- brand new jeep cab cover (in tan from BestTop) still in original carrying case for when the top if off and it rains. This will work with the doors on or off

- Bikini top (in tan) from BestTop used for one summer with cross bar to mount it up front. Still looks brand new and is stored in the house

- HID-LED off road lights. These are about 3.5"x3.5" and sit on the window sill mounts that I had powder coated white to match the Jeep. They are brand new and come with the vehicle. They are tiny compared to the older round KC lights but brighter and use only 20 watts. I figured they would come in handy on back roads late at night or in storms when no traffic exists in the area or the occasional camping two-track type outing. They haven't been mounted (bolted on) but all wiring is complete and is a quick job since everything else is complete.

- Full stereo integration with custom sub box with 10" sub carpeted to match the interior color. A new amp, deck unit and all new 5 1/4 speakers both in the sound bar and dash (by your knees). I was able to remove the 4x6" speakers from factory with an easy aftermarket plate to accommodate the larger circular speaker.

This runs like a dream and will make someone very happy. Please bid to win as this will sell before the end of the week. I will not deal with any dealers or car brokers so please don't contact me as I will not respond.

You will be required to paypal $1,000 within the first 2 days after you have won the auction and pay in full and arrange for travel within 7 days. Buyer to pay for all shipping and associated costs of purchasing including but not limited to axes, fees, title transfer, etc.

NOTE: I have many pictures and would be happy to email them to anyone who wants to see something that I didn't post. I tried to pick a good assortment of them to get a general sense of the vehicles condition. Nothing has been left out intentionally and I would be happy to share.

If you have any questions please let me know and I will be happy to respond. Good luck on bidding!!!

Note: Added 2/17/2014

I have pictures of the new motor before it went in and also the jeep with the motor out of it as well for reference. I can't emphasize enough how clean this new motor is and looks like a brand new crate motor. If anyone would like additional photo's please ask me a question and provide your email and I will send them directly to you.

Thanks for the interest.

FCA facing class-action lawsuit over Grand Cherokee shifters

Fri, Jun 24 2016

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is now facing a multi-million-dollar class-action lawsuit over the recalled shifter design in the 2014 and 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and the 2012 to 2014 Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300. Grand Cherokee owners, galvanized by Star Trek actor Anton Yelchin's fatal accident, filed the suit. According to The Wall Street Journal, the owners allege that FCA concealed the shifter's problems. On top of restitution, the class action suit is demanding a court order force FCA to issue a do-not-drive warning to owners of affected vehicles until it fixes the problem. FCA started distributing a software fix to dealers last week – according to the WSJ, the update will add more warnings about the shifter's position and will automatically kick the vehicle into park if the driver steps out. FCA's shifter problems have been bubbling under the surface as part of the company's recall issues. The US government dinged FCA with a $105 million fine last year for its recall practices (or lack thereof) last year, but things have exploded this week after Yelchin's death. The 27-year-old, best known for playing Ensign Pavel Chekov in the rebooted Star Trek film series, was killed after his 2015 Grand Cherokee rolled down his driveway and pinned the actor against a security gate. According to Jeep CEO Mike Manley, the company will dispatch engineers to analyze Yelchin's vehicle. Related Video:

2019 Jeep Cherokee and Cherokee Trailhawk spotted in Pittsburgh

Mon, Nov 20 2017

The current Jeep Cherokee debuted for the 2014 model year, meaning it's about due for a refresh. When it was revealed, the controversial styling and front-wheel-drive-based platform caused a stir among the Jeep crowd. While there isn't much Jeep can do about the platform at this point, it seems the automaker's designers have a much more traditional refresh in the works. Thanks to Autoblog readers Matthew Young and Mike Bothwell, we have a new batch of spy shots, include a couple of the new Cherokee Trailhawk. The refreshed Cherokee looks to crib quite a bit from the new Jeep Compass. Rather than splitting the front lighting like before, the driving lights, headlights and turn signals are all one unit. The whole fascia seems to be a bit more upright than before, though the grille is still canted backward. Out back, the Cherokee gets new taillights that feature clear lenses, again similar to the Compass. The rear bumper gets a mild refresh, too. The reflectors move up, and the Trailhawk's exhaust looks like it moves further inward. One of the Cherokees seems to have a crushed pipe, suggesting some unlucky engineer had a mishap. The red tow hook looks to be in about the same place. No word on when the Cherokee will go one sale, but expect some news as soon as the Detroit auto show in January.

Jeep Wrangler plug-in hybrid confirmed for 2020

Thu, Nov 30 2017

The Jeep Wrangler will get a plug-in hybrid electric model in 2020, brand head Mike Manley confirmed this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show in a move he says is "future proofing" the legendary off-roader. "A full plug-in electric Jeep Wrangler will be available in 2020, furthering our commitment to all those who value the responsible, sustainable enjoyment of the great outdoors and very importantly, future proofing this Wrangler for generations to come," he said after the reveal of the 2018 model. It was reminiscent of a Steve Jobs 'One More Thing' moment from an Apple event. Manley explained the details of the new Wrangler, codenamed JL, and then dropped the EV nugget near the end of the press conference in Los Angeles. He didn't offer up further details like range or power. The plug-in hybrid will join a now-expansive powertrain lineup for new generation of the Wrangler. Jeep will offer a mild hybrid next year with its 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder engine. Called eTorque, the hybrid adds regeneration, stop-start and electric power assist. This system makes 270 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. In 2019, the Wrangler will get a 3.0-liter V6 EcoDiesel engine rated at 260 hp and 442 lb-ft. The tried-and-true Pentastar V6 with 285 hp and 260 lb-ft also continues. In an exclusive interview with Autoblog in January, Manley previewed the Wrangler's electric plans at the Detroit Auto Show. "The hybridization could actually help Wrangler," he said, noting it could improve torque distribution, a critical element for four-wheel drive vehicles." He added, "Electrification, absolutely. I could see Wrangler being a form of electric." The 2018 Wrangler goes on sale in January featuring a raft of improvements. It is about 200 pounds lighter thanks to the use of aluminum. There are also new engines, updated styling features and a nicer interior.
