 I am selling my Jeep because I just don't have space for it anymore.  This truck was purchased by me about 7 years ago so I can get to work in the winter, otherwise it sat in the garage.  I bought it off the previous owner at 77k miles and he too had it garaged.  I have maintained this truck to the fullest extent from day one to now.  Most of the maintenance came around 100k for reliability am fuel efficiency only.   These things include front to back: Silverstar headlights and fog lights, aluminum radiator and 185 degree thermostat, external trans cooler, Derale deep cooling trans pan, new shift soiliniods x2 (common problem), new atf +4 fluid flush at 110k, royal purple gear fluid in front diff, new steering stabilizer, accel ignition coil, taylor 8mm wires, champion heavy duty truck spark plugs, K&N drop in air filter just cleaned, both O2 sensors replaced, Mopar performance ECU(very rare), Random technologies high flow cat and Gibson mandrel bent exhaust, (sound amazing), Rear diff was rebuild by previous owner and I have royal purple in it also. Transfer case fluid recently changes with ATF+$ and the A/C was profesionally charged in 2011. New Serpintine belt and pullies at 100k.Previous owner also put in a pioneer Sirus radio in the factory dash slot, fits perfect.  New brakes and rotors at 100k, all 4 Bilstien HD shocks at 100k, rear gate shocks both window and gate replaced recently.  I also changed the plenum gasket and the Throttle position sensor as well, these are common issues as well.  I changed the fuel pump also just for reliability at 100k.  Oil changes 10w-30 Valvoline or Mobil one high mileage synthetic. Tires are 75-85%  Good Year All season Fortera's rotated every oil change. This truck is extremely reliable, clean and drives solid, no check engine lights, no engine sounds, transmission shifts solid and does not miss a beat, and everything works.   I usually get average of 15-16 mpg and get as high as 18.5 mpg on the highway and it drives straight as an arrow and smooth even at higher highway speeds.  

This winter was the only time I had to take it out of the garage and it sat most of the winter in my driveway.  Since It is a rare truck i feel bad leaving it sit and the minimal use I have for it it is time to go.  Since It sat there were a few issues I found this spring.  One the rear tail gate started to rust on the bottom, no rust anywhere else on the truck but the tailgate.  Second the tailgate switch went bad so the lights flicker on and off, this is a common problem and easy fix.  Also the windshield seal is going bad so when the snow melted and some water got in the front floor boards.   I read this is a common issue also, dried the mats out and it is fine but the windshield will need to come out.  It should be replaced anyway because it has a small ship on it as well.  I know this truck like all my cars in and out, there is no other known problems with this car at all.  I encourage before bidding to please come look at it and drive it if your serious.  If you are not local I also encourage you send a independent inspector to review it before bidding.   The car is in Long Valley NJ 07953 and can also be in West Orange NJ 07853.   Please call me with any questions Vinny 9738098900.

Chrysler adding 200 jobs at Ohio Jeep Wrangler plant

Fri, 15 Mar 2013

Chrysler is betting that the Jeep Wrangler will continue its strong sales surge as it continues to push the legendary brand out across the globe. The Auburn Hills automaker is reportedly adding 200 workers at the Toledo, Ohio plant that builds the Wrangler. What's more, those new hires will be at their posts quickly - they'll be on the job by April 1. Of those 200 workers, 130 employees will be there to relieve those who need breaks.
Why do they need so many relief workers? The Toledo Jeep Complex is currently working at a torrid pace with two ten-hour shifts. A third shift has been ruled out for the moment because of a production botttleneck - the plant's paint shop is already maxed out. According to Reuters, Wrangler production in 2012 cleared 200,000 units, and US sales were up by 16 percent.
Another part of the Toledo plant is presently down as Chrysler retools the line to build Jeep's divisively styled Liberty replacement, the Cherokee (seen in our gallery below). Production for the new model is scheduled to begin toward the end of May.

NHTSA boss Strickland weighs in on Jeep recall fracas

Sat, 15 Jun 2013

Adding yet another chapter to the ongoing Jeep recall story, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) head David Strickland has gone on record to defend the government's request that Chrysler recall 2.7 million out-of-production Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Liberty vehicles after the agency investigated fiery rear-end collisions that have reportedly killed at least 51 people over the years. In statements made to The Detroit News, Strickland said, "We felt very strongly that the process that we undertook and the findings that we made and ... we made the decision to issue a recall request. We do not take that very lightly." The top US auto safety regulator stopped short of telling owners to park their cars until the automaker takes action. "They can make their own risk assessment and their own choices," he said.
Chrysler does not intend to recall the models, insisting the "vehicles met and exceeded all applicable requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, including FMVSS 301, pertaining to fuel-system integrity" when they were manufactured and sold. "The company does not agree with NHTSA's conclusions and does not intend to recall the vehicles cited in the investigation. The subject vehicles are safe and are not defective," Chrysler announced last week in a statement. "We believe NHTSA's initial conclusions are based on an incomplete analysis of the underlying data, and we are committed to continue working with the agency to resolve this disagreement."
Legally, Chrysler has until June 18 to formally respond to NHTSA's request. If the automaker does not take action, NHTSA is expected to issue a formal finding and seek a recall.

Sunday Drive: A tale of old favorites and upcoming challengers

Sun, Oct 8 2017

Sedans and crossovers dominated the attention of our readers last week, led by the completely redesigned 2018 Honda Accord. It's the Japanese automaker's flagship, and people are seriously interested in finding out how good the latest Accord is. So interested, in fact, that no other single story came close to the brand-new Accord in Autoblog reader interest. Moving down the list we find the equally new 2018 Buick Enclave. The three-row crossover has a lot to offer a family, especially one looking for a nice, quiet ride. If you're looking for the exact opposite of nice and quiet, but still want enough room for you and your significant others, the Subaru WRX that we tested last week may be the perfect ride for you. Or, if you just want to drive fast and aren't at all worried about space, there's the Camaro SS. See? We offer something for everybody. From there, we look to the future. Who isn't interested in seeing the first fully electric vehicle from Porsche? And who isn't intrigued to see the Mission E testing alongside a gaggle of Teslas? A brand-new Jeep is always a big deal, especially when it's the revival of a classic nameplate like the Grand Wagoneer. And finally, we have something completely different: the Rezvani Tank. As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2018 Honda Accord First Drive | Feels like home again 2018 Buick Enclave First Drive Review | Fortress of quietude 2018 Subaru WRX Drivers' Notes | Turbo traditionalist 2018 Chevy Camaro SS Drivers' Notes | Demonstrative power, middling interior Porsche Mission E caught testing against Teslas Jeep three-row SUV caught on public roads — Grand Wagoneer, perhaps?
