1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer

This has been a great vehicle for me.  I have owned this Jeep for roughly three years.  I am in the process of moving and am looking to part ways with my Jeep.  This Jeep is a classic.  It has been a good runner for me.  I talked with my wife at great detail about this and have come to realize a few things.  1) I am not a mechanic. 2) I do not want to become a car guy because I would rather spend my money on other hobbies.  

I have noticed over the past few months that there was some oil leaking from the Jeep. I took the Jeep into a mechanic this week and was given the following things to look at.  1) Manifold Gasket Set  2) Valve Cover Gasket Set  3) Battery  4) Coolant.  The estimated repairs with parts and labor at this specific shop came out to $888.04.  Please be aware of this.  These are repairs the mechanic could see from the outside of the engine.  There could be more once the engine is worked on.  The driver side window needs a new track in order to function.  I was told by the same mechanic the part can be purchased for about $10.  I have a picture of the window motor in my pictures.  The plastic track is what needs to be replaced.  There are minor rust spots on the body.  There is a major rust spot through the rear passenger side floor.  This spot goes through the floor and is the size of a softball.  Please see the pictures.  I had the mechanic fix the tow package, so you could pull something if desired.  The interior is in fair to good shape.  The carpet is in good shape in both the front and middle of the Jeep.  The carpet has started to deteriorate in the rear of the Jeep.  If you look at the pictures, you will see a wiring system sticking out of the back door of the Jeep.  This was something I had installed to operate the rear window.  On this particular model, you need to roll down the rear window before opening the tailgate.  If you look closely at the mileage gauge, the number in the one hundred thousandths place looks different.  This has led me and my wife to feel as if a previous owner has tampered with the mileage gauge.  Once again, I am not a mechanic.  I want to make sure I am being as honest as possible with this description.  If you have questions on anything else you see, please let me know.

On a final note, I am looking to sell this Jeep because I feel I can spend my money on other hobbies.  This would be an awesome vehicle for somebody looking to restore or have a fun project at home.  There is a reserve on this Jeep because it does have a lot of nice qualities to it.  The best being that it is a cool ride.  Please feel free to email me your questions and I will try to be as honest as possible about it.  Please understand my knowledge of everything automobile related is limited, but I will try to do my best to help you out.

2013 AEV Brute Double Cab

Fri, 11 Jan 2013

These are the guys who bring an M777 howitzer to a knife fight. In terms of overall rugged utility, the all-new 2013 Brute Double Cab from American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) is about as overkill as they come, and we can't seem to get enough of the beasts that this company produces. Unlike most aftermarket firms, always striving to lower cost and increase volume (but at the expense of quality), Michigan-based AEV takes pride in its OEM-quality design, engineering, manufacturing and testing. Everything is as good, or better, than the stuff from the factory, and they have been doing it this way for more than 15 years.
Launched at the recent 2012 SEMA show was the 2013 AEV Brute Double Cab. Its debut marked the company's expansion to a four-door Brute on the newer JK platform (drawing inspiration from the Land Rover Defender 130). I recently spent a few hours with the new truck in sunny Southern California, though unfortunately, due to time constraints, I was limited to pavement-only driving impressions.

Best car infotainment systems: From UConnect to MBUX, these are our favorites

Sun, Jan 7 2024

Declaring one infotainment system the best over any other is an inherently subjective matter. You can look at quantitative testing for things like input response time and various screen load times, but ask a room full of people that have tried all car infotainment systems what their favorite is, and you’re likely to get a lot of different responses. For the most part, the various infotainment systems available all share a similar purpose. They aim to help the driver get where they're going with navigation, play their favorite tunes via all sorts of media playback options and allow folks to stay connected with others via phone connectivity. Of course, most go way beyond the basics these days and offer features like streaming services, in-car performance data and much more. Unique features are aplenty when you start diving through menus, but how they go about their most important tasks vary widely. Some of our editors prefer systems that are exclusively touch-based and chock full of boundary-pushing features. Others may prefer a back-to-basics non-touch system that is navigable via a scroll wheel. You can compare it to the phone operating system wars. Just like some prefer Android phones over iPhones, we all have our own opinions for what makes up the best infotainment interface. All that said, our combined experience tells us that a number of infotainment systems are at least better than the rest. WeÂ’ve narrowed it down to five total systems in their own subcategories that stand out to us. Read on below to see our picks, and feel free to make your own arguments in the comments. Best infotainment overall: UConnect 5, various Stellantis products Ram 1500 Uconnect Infotainment System Review If thereÂ’s one infotainment system that all of us agree is excellent, itÂ’s UConnect. It has numerous qualities that make it great, but above all else, UConnect is simple and straightforward to use. Ease of operation is one of the most (if not the single most) vital parts of any infotainment system interface. If youÂ’re expected to be able to tap away on a touchscreen while driving and still pay attention to the road, a complex infotainment system is going to remove your attention from the number one task at hand: driving. UConnect uses a simple interface that puts all of your key functions in a clearly-represented row on the bottom of the screen. Tap any of them, and it instantly pulls up that menu.
