Clean rust free low mileage 2004 Trail Rated Jeep Wrangler X.  Southern vehicle purchased new in AZ and then relocated to TN. where I purchased it.  Only 57,172 miles.  The Jeep has the following bonuses, Aftermarket radio, CD, MP3, detachable face radio (I also have the original radio)  amplifier with Kicker speakers added behind rear seat with adjustable bass.  Mud Claw 33x12.50x15 tires on black rims with matching wheel rim on the spare tire. (spare was removed for picture of rear tailgate)  Best Top with tinted rear windows added new last year.  3.5 inch suspension lift.  Jeep also has factory installed option of posi-trac rear end which the original owner ordered when purchased new from dealer.  All these options were added prior to my purchasing the Jeep.  There is also a high lift jack attached to the front bumper and a aluminum light bar with two KC lights that attaches to the windshield and goes over the top.  There are two more KC lights attached to the front bumper which can be re-attached to the light bar. Originally all four were on the light bar but the previous owner removed it and put two of the lights on the bumper.  The frame is as clean as your grandma's kitchen.  The paint is shiny and waxed but there are some light scratches that were too faint to photograph.  I tried but they wouldn't show up.  Non of the scratches go to the metal.  I don't know if scratch is the right word for them but that is what I am calling them for the ad.  I had the Jeep professionally detailed and they told me they could probably be buffed out.  a couple of light stone chips.  Remember this is a 2004.  There is a dent and a few scratches in the rear tailgate that was there when I bought the Jeep.  The tailgate works fine.  If I was keeping the Jeep I would get a new one pre-painted off Ebay.  Or if you're a body guy you can try to removed the dent or buy a used one from a junk yard.  Your call on that one.

The Jeep runs smooth and strong.  Doesn't knock, smoke or use oil.  The clutch is tight and it shifts smoothly.  The four wheel drive works but I never went off road with it.  I've never driven it in snow or rain except for when out and I ran into rain.  It is a fair weather jeep for me that I use when I can put the top down and it stays down.  There are "Call of Duty" stickers on the sides of the Jeep but it is not a call of duty edition Jeep.  The previous owner put them on and I just left them because my sons liked them.  They play the game.  Finally, two tires are like new but two are worn because the previous owner told me he didn't rotate them when he should have.  I have had the front end aligned and a fresh oil, filter, lube and air filter change.  This Jeep is ready to go with many features you won't have to pay for on your own to add.  Also, as a bonus, if you pay the "buy it now price"  I will throw in 4 new in the box Black Rock Series 941 Dune black steel wheels for free.  I just received these and was going to put on more road friendly tires.  They are 15 X 8 rims complete with center caps.  If I accept a "or best offer" price, you can have the option of buying them at my cost. 

So, why am I selling?  I had neck surgery and the lift, tires and suspension are a little too much for me now.  I really like the 2003 to 2006 body style and have found a stock Jeep.  Call, email or text if you want additional pictures or have any questions.  I have a clear title in hand.  Payment will require a $500.00 deposit within 24 hours of sale via Paypal.  Final payment will be due within 5 days with either cash, cashiers check or certified check from a bank or credit union.  If you pay for shipping I will work with your shipper to arrange pickup.  No money orders will be accepted.  There is no warranty on the vehicle.   Thanks for looking.

Marchionne may stay with FCA until 2020

Mon, Aug 31 2015

We might get to see Sergio Marchionne and his vast array of sweaters in the auto industry for even longer than expected. The FCA CEO suggested last year that he would retire from the automaker when its current five-year plan was complete in 2018. Now, he has tentatively extended that point out to at least 2020. "I can do this for another five years if you push me, right? Beyond that, I ain't gonna do it, and I don't want to," he said to Automotive News. That would give Marchionne a 16-year career at the top from joining Fiat in 2004 to possibly leaving FCA in 2020. Although, take the CEO's statement with a grain of salt because he has made multiple statements about the timing for his retirement. In 2012, Marchionne said he would only remain in charge until 2015, which is, well, now. Those five years might also go quite quickly because Marchionne is a busy guy with the Ferrari IPO, the attempted merger with General Motors, implementing FCA's five-year plan, and many other projects. He's already considering the next CEO, though. "My purpose in life is to find the Kuniskises of the world, the Manleys, the Biglands, the Palmers," Marchionne said to Automotive News, referencing the heads at Dodge, Jeep, FCA North America, and the company's chief financial officer, respectively. "I told them, 'One of you is going to do what I do one day. I don't know who that is, but one of you is going to do it.'"

FCA to idle Belvidere Jeep plant again for a week in February

Mon, Feb 3 2020

Bloomberg reports that Fiat Chrysler will shut down the Belvidere, Ill., plant that assembles the Jeep Cherokee for a week this month, starting February 17. FCA has been tweaking the plant's headcount and production schedule for a while now, usually downward. The automaker laid off 1,371 workers last February and fired 32 more in May, the same month it eliminated the third production shift. In August, the automaker shut down the plant for one week, then did so again for two weeks last month. As in August and January, FCA explained this month's idling by saying it needs to get production in alignment with demand. Cherokee sales declined 20% in the U.S. last year, helping to account for Jeep's overall 5% domestic drop in 2019. On top of the shutdown, FCA is offering buyouts to certain plant workers among the 3,600 hourly and 300 salaried personnel. The choices are either taking a "separation package" that comes with a $60,000 lump sum payment, or accepting voluntary termination that pays a lump sum based on seniority. Employees that choose a buyout can't return to Chrysler, becoming no longer "eligible for recall, rehire or reemployment." Belvidere personnel have until March 11 to make their decisions. Bloomberg says the aim is to reduce the number of workers with more seniority and higher pay grades; a company spokesperson said the move would "create opportunities for those employees still on layoff," who were lesser-paid. Around 900 of those laid-off workers remain on standby for reassignment to another plant. Analysts predict a soft year for car sales, so FCA might not be the only automaker pruning the rolls. Early estimates have come in below 17 million, and if that comes true, 2020 will be the slowest year since 2014, when 16,531,070 units left lots. The new contract between FCA and the UAW made provisions for Belvidere, which has tempered talk of a total shutdown.The automaker will invest $55 million for "fresh models/features off of the current (KL) platform" that underpins the Cherokee as well as the Chinese-market Jeep Grand Commander (it was previously used for the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200). Outside of that, some observers think the carmaker could be planning a three-row Chrysler crossover based on the KL platform, akin to the Grand Commander, for the United States.

2014 Jeep Cherokee: Long-term wrap-up [w/video]

Tue, Aug 11 2015

Sorry, Sweet Brown. Your place in Autoblog history as the most highly demanded long-term car has come to an end. We just finished a one-year test of a 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, and after 27,000 miles of hard use, one thing is very clear: this is one of the best all-rounders we've ever tested. The Jeep Cherokee isn't perfect, and our long-term tester proved that. But no compact crossover is. Still, the Trailhawk oozed personality where other small CUVs seem bland, and the Jeep felt more like a trusty companion than just another test car. For road trips, the requests weren't, "Can I have a long-term car this weekend?" They were specific: "I'd like the Cherokee, please." No matter the season, the driver, or the situation, the Jeep was always a sure fit. Fiat Chrysler bet big with this one. It had a global platform, a new engine, and one heck of a funny face. The end result was a CUV that we'd gladly welcome back into our fleet any day. View 51 Photos Our car carried a sticker price of $38,059, but that's without goodies like HID headlamps, a sunroof, or even full leather seats. Lots To Like Admittedly, we picked the Trailhawk trim for cosmetic reasons (more on it's off-road capability in a second). To this day, many of us still think the Cherokee is a homely little thing, but its inherent weirdness doesn't stand out as much when you add the black accents and big, knobby tires of the Trailhawk model. The butched-up look really works here, and we wouldn't have wanted the Jeep any other way. Of course, opting for Trailhawk package meant getting one of Jeep's more expensive Cherokees. Our car carried a sticker price of $38,059, but that's without goodies like HID headlamps (which we could have used – the halogens were pretty weak), a sunroof, or even full leather seats. This car genuinely felt premium, though. Right off the bat, the Cherokee received compliments for its comfortable, supportive seats, not to mention the high quality of interior materials and the general fit and finish. Specifically, the interior packaging won us over early on. We appreciated things like the higher-end stereo, smart layout of the center console, and ample storage, including a bin under the front passenger seat cushion. (That said, we also found that this bin becomes a catch-all for wrappers, french fries, and anything else that might get dropped on the seat.) The Uconnect infotainment system was a joy to use, never giving us any finicky problems or usability issues.
