There are some tool marks on the dash around the radio. the windshield has a horse shoe shaped cracked on the lower passenger side of the glass (haven't had a chance to replace it) the bumpers have a couple small scuff marks on it, no gouges or deep scratches on them. the stock fenders were cut to resemble flat style fenders and make make room for articulation. The roller fairlead has cosmetic rust."

 The Jeep is in very good condition, I bought it brand new in October of 2010 and changed the oil every 3k miles. Its been been mildly wheeled off road only a hand full of times, just some dirt hills and mud no rock crawling or anything serious, than a thorough cleaning when i got home. I put 61k miles on her, mostly high way driving in long commutes, C.T. N.Y. N.J. P.A. areas with an occasional trip south to F.L.
 
This jeep is a big toy I love it, you can add this or delete that over and over again (if you have the money) the current set up holds around 10k just in upgraded parts (labor not included) with labor it's another several thousand dollars on top of that. 

  the current suspension was put on @ around 35k miles 

  -OME LT lift kit which yielded about 3 inches of lift
  -Teraflex front lower control arms (adjustable)
  -Teraflex bump stops
  -Adjustable sway bar links
  -JKS adjustable front track bar
  -JKS adjustable rear track bar
  -Crown extended brake lines
The current wheels and tires were put on @ around 45k miles
  - 5x American racing AR-23 15x8 wheels
  - 5x BFG All Terrain TA KO 35x12.5 r15

I also had the jeep re-geared from stock to 4.88 to help turn the larger diameter tires, help with gas mileage, performance and everyday drivability. @60-65 mph i get better mpg than when it was stock, and the jeep doesn't have any problem holding speed while using cruise control. (the gearing made a huge difference)
  -Yukon 4.88 gears w/ master install kit

I added some auxiliary lights and upgraded the headlights and used a wiring harness made by rally lights
  -7" round truck-lite led head lamps
  -6" round black KC Hi-Lites slim lights fog 130 watt (pair)
  -6' round black KC Hi-Lites pencil beams 130 watt w/ windshield mounting brackets (pair)

 Bumper upgrade
  -Smittybilt XRC front bumper w/ smittybilt 8000lb winch
  -Smittybilt XRC rear bumper and class III rated tow hitch w/ tire carrier
  -Smittybilt rock rails/side steps
 
I wanted to keep my engine safe if playing in water so i added snorkel
  -AEV snorkel kit with ram air
  -k&N high performance air filter
  -breather hose extension kit ( currently not installed but come with the purchase)


 I had to upgrade the sound, with the top down and the doors off i could not hear anything but wind.
  -2 Polk audio db6501 marine certified speakers with 2 tweeters and 2 crossovers in the front
  -2 Polk audio db6501 marine certified speakers with 2 tweeters and 2 crossovers in the rear
  -1 Polk audio MM1240D 12" marine certified subwoofer
  -1 Kicker zx7005 5-channel amplifier
  -Kenwood KDC-x995 removable head unit

  dealer purchased and installed navigation
  - Azentek smart mirror w/built in blue tooth ( very cool and discrete, the navi is in your rear view mirror ) this is great for when you have no doors on your jeep and you park somewhere. Its not as noticeable to a would be thief as garmin gps or in dash navi.

 Other miscellaneous additions
  -bushwacker cowl vent scoop
  -slim guard wind deflectors
  - stealth (blacked out) grill with polished billet grill inserts
  -locking gas cover
  -rubber mates
  -grab handles
  -decals
  -River Raider hood mount for high lift jack

You could have all the stock I parts I have of course.

 Its a beautiful rig, she rides very nicely it has very good on road manners and can tackle large obstacles off road, this thing is a blast to drive in the snow when everyone else cant move! this baby is a head turner without a doubt especially when the top is down and the doors are off!  people take pictures of it when its just parked in the street or pull up to me to ask me all kinds of questions.

 Title is in hand there aren't any liens of any kind. No accidents of any kind, the incident that shows up in the vehicle report was from a stolen radio.

Toyota, Lexus dominate KBB's Best Resale Value Awards

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Toyota and Lexus stormed the 2014 Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Awards, winning a combined 18 categories including best brand and best luxury brand. This marks the third year in a row that both automakers have won the Brand and Luxury Brand resale value awards. In all, Toyota won 11 categories and Lexus won seven.
Honda made a good showing, as well, winning two segments (Accord Plug-In Hybrid and Civic Si) and putting one car on the top-10 Best Resale Value list (CR-V). Chevrolet did even better, winning two segments (with the V6 Camaro and the Corvette) and placing three cars on the top-10-overall list (again, the Camaro and Corvette, plus the Silverado 1500).
The other winners came from Jeep, Dodge, Infiniti, Subaru and Audi. To give you a clearer picture of the Toyota and Lexus domination, their 18 mentions represents more than half of the 34 awards (including the top-10-overall list).

164K Jeep Cherokees recalled to protect liftgate from moisture

Thu, Jun 25 2015

FCA is recalling 164,003 examples of the 2014 and 2015 Jeep Cherokee because moisture can damage the power liftgate controls on models that are equipped with that feature. Regionally, this includes 99,436 of them in the US, 13,195 in Canada, 2,406 in Mexico, and 48,966 outside of NAFTA. The problem came to light after the automaker started investigating a fire in one of the SUVs. There were no injuries, though. According to FCA US' research, the power hatch's control module potentially can be exposed to water. This can cause a short circuit and possibly a fire, as in this case. Until the issue is repaired, the company is advising owners to keep the cargo area dry on Cherokees equipped with this feature. To fix things, dealers will install a shield around the controls to protect them from moisture and will replace any modules showing exposure to water. Statement: Water-Shield Installation June 24, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 99,436 SUVs in the U.S. to install shields that protect their power liftgate control modules, and related components, from moisture. FCA US LLC began an investigation after learning of a reported vehicle fire. The probe revealed power liftgate control modules in certain SUVs may be inadvertently exposed to water. This may cause a short-circuit, creating a fire hazard. However, the Company is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. The campaign affects model year 2014 and 2015 Jeep Cherokee SUVs, but is limited to vehicles equipped with power liftgates. An estimated 13,195 customers are affected in Canada, along with an estimated 2,406 customers in Mexico and 48,966 outside the NAFTA region. The estimated total recall population is 164,003. All affected customers will be advised when they may schedule service. If the modules show signs of water exposure, they will be replaced. All recall-related work will be performed free of charge. In the interim, the cargo areas of 2014-15 Cherokees equipped with power liftgates should be monitored and kept dry. Customers with questions may call the FCA US Customer Information Center at 1-800-853-1403.

2014 Jeep Cherokee

Thu, 19 Sep 2013

The Cherokee Is Dead. Long Live The Cherokee.
There are three sentences that, for this reviewer, define what needs to be conveyed about the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. The first: it is very good.
Jeep spent 27 years building the Cherokee and its brand, from 1974 to 2001. Twelve years ago, the Cherokee nameplate rolled away into the distant hills and retirement, at least here in the NAFTA colonies, and it was replaced by a loaded word we knew as "Liberty."
