2005 JEEP Liberty Limited CRD 2.8 Diesel

For sale is a well cared for 2005 Liberty Diesel. It has a 2" lift kit (Frankenlift OME 790 HD a CRD Rated) with 245/75/16 tires. Not an over the top lift but just enough to give it the good ground clearance for rough country or lease roads. Yet, the lift is minimal enough to maintain a factory ride. It has 6 disc satellite radio (the satellite radio had been fully activated as long as I've owned it, I've never had to pay for radio service and cannot guarantee how long it will stay activated). It has 4 brand new matching BFG all terrain tires with currently less than 1,500 miles on them. The spare tire matches and is in like condition. It has leather interior with all the options available at the time aside from heated seats. It does have a block heater, husky cargo liner and front floor mats, tinted windows, 5 custom KMC matching black alloy rims with active TPMS, includes spare. The vehicle is used, it's very clean but is still used and shows expected signs of such. It does show some minor nicks or stains of the interior and some rock chips on the front bumper and hood (Some spots in the pictures are bugs or dirt which will wash off, my apologies). Even with the lift and larger tires (approx. 31" tires) the Jeep still gets 20-24mpg around town and 26-30mpg - Impressive! The lift kit, water pump, and timing belt were performed by the previous owner.

Note: I work out of state and used this vehicle primarily traveling over the road for work. The vehicle currently has 151,440 miles. Up until last week when I was provided a company vehicle, I used this vehicle quiet a bit. I depended on it and utilized my mileage per diem to maintain the vehicle in the best possible condition. Over the last several months / weeks I have managed to spend quiet a bit (over $6,500) on preventive maintenance as I was planning to continue using it. I will provide receipts and service records for such. Below is a list of the recent repairs/service within last 5 months:

New upper and lower ball joints and control arms
Rebuilt front differential w/ new stub axel
New front CV joint / drive axles
New Front drive shaft (fabricated to eliminate the commonly faulty issues with the factory shaft ends)
Injector service and ring replacement
New gel cell battery
Four new BFG 10ply all terrain tires (raised white letters turned in) with currently less than 1,500 miles
New power steering pump and hoses
New transmission cooler unit and hoses

I know these diesel liberty's are rare but there are a few of them out there to choose from. However, it may not be likely that these types of service have yet been performed, and they can be rather costly. This vehicle has been very dependable, however, I cannot guarantee or warranty this vehicle beyond the time of purchase, but I can provide evidence of the service records. I can guarantee it to be in good running condition at time of purchase.

Known issues:

The plastic front bumper was damaged at some point with the previous owner and repainted. It matches but does show some minor chipping or flaking (Some spots in the pictures are bugs or dirt which will wash off, like under the passenger side turn signal, my apologies). I could not find any evidence of body work to any of the sheet metal or on any car fax report.
The drain plug on the aluminum oil pan was stripped when I let a shop change my oil a couple of times back. The replacement oil pan is rather costly. I currently use an aftermarket interference fit plug with no leaks or problems. A more permanent fix would be to drill it out with a 41/64" bit and tap it with a 18mm-1.5 right hand thread. Then install a Fumoto F-104 quarter turn drain valve. This would still be protected by the skid plate and you'd never again be at risk of stripping the aluminum. This would cost less than $60 for the bit, tap, and valve. I can perform this for an additional charge or you can continue using the interference fit plug and being careful not to over tighten.

Buyer is responsible for transport or shipping. $500 deposit due with 48 hours of sale agreement. Must pay balance in full within 7 days.

I may deliver the vehicle in the lower 48 states for an agreed upon fee.

Ward's releases 10 Best Interiors list for 2014

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

While we're still a ways off from the automotive awards season proper, where things like North American Car and Truck of the Year, Motor Trend's Car of the Year and Car and Driver's Ten Best are named, that doesn't mean there aren't trophies being handed out to deserving automakers. Ward's 10 Best Interiors being one of them.
As the name might imply, the magazine focuses on the very best interior treatments in the US market. Whereas some awards purposely exclude extreme, high-dollar offerings, Ward's considers them - the only requirement is that a vehicle has a "new or significantly redesigned interior."
Ward's offered up the list of winners in simple, alphabetical order, and it only seems fair to do the same:

Jeep hiring 1,000 part-time workers in Toledo on Wrangler, Cherokee demand

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

The new Jeep Cherokee has been quite a success for Chrysler, but its factory workers are getting tired. The automaker has agreed to hire up to 1,000 part-time, temporary employees at its Toledo Assembly Complex where the CUV and Wrangler are built. It will allow the company to keep Jeep production moving, while giving laborers a break.
According to plant manager Chuck Padden in the Toledo Blade, full-time workers are regularly taking on 60 hours a week, and it's beginning to wear on them. "To get them more time off is important to us, to make sure they're refreshed, and can work safely," said Padden.
Chrysler has already hired 380 temporary, part-time workers for the plant, and 50 have been converted to full-time employees. The company is in the process of interviewing the rest of the new hires now and plans to have all 1,000 in place by the summer. They will work between 10 and 30 hours a week mostly on weekends for $15.78 per hour with limited benefits. The temporary positions will last "as long as demand continues for the Jeep Wrangler and the Jeep Cherokee," said Jodi Tinson, Chrysler spokesperson for manufacturing and labor communications, to Autoblog in an email.

Chrysler Recalls 350K Vehicles To Fix Ignition Switches

Thu, Sep 25 2014

Chrysler is recalling nearly 350,000 cars and SUVs to fix ignition switches that could unexpectedly shut off the engines. The recall covers 2008 Jeep Commander and Grand Cherokee SUVs, Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger sedans, and Dodge Magnum wagons. All were built before May 12, 2008. Chrysler says the ignitions may not fully return to the "on" position after being started. The switches could move to "accessory" or "off." That could shut off the engine and knock out power-assisted steering and other features. Chrysler knows of one crash and no injuries from the problem. It's telling people to use the key alone in the ignition and confirm that switches have returned to "on" after starting their cars. Chrysler is investigating the cause. Customers will be notified when repairs are ready. Related Gallery The Trucks And SUVs Consumers Are Liking Most View 11 Photos
