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.

2016 Jeep Wrangler to ditch solid axles to save weight?

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

Hey, Jeep fans. If you think the idea of a funky-looking, car-based Cherokee revival is offensive, have a listen to what might be in store for the next-gen Jeep Wrangler. Automotive News is reporting that as Jeep develops the 2016 Wrangler, weight reduction is a crucial target, and the Wrangler's rugged solid axles could be sacrificed in the name of better fuel economy.
We've already heard the next Wrangler will go on a serious diet using aluminum body panels and an air suspension system, so the idea of a four-wheel independent suspension setup for this OG SUV isn't all that surprising. Besides, it's not like an independent suspension would limit the Wrangler's off-road abilities - just check out the Hummer H1. In fact, it might be the aftermarket parts companies - not Wrangler enthusiasts - who would be most disappointed by such a drastic suspension change, as the article states that the Wrangler's solid axles and coil-link suspension make it the most popular SUV for customization.
There are probably still a couple years before we'll start hearing any concrete details about the 2016 Wrangler, at which time it will be interesting to see how stricter fuel economy and crash safety regulations have been balanced with traditional Wrangler cues like its removable doors and roof and folding windshield. Let us know in the comments below if a Wrangler sans solid axles is any less of a Wrangler.

Jeep owner inadvertently receives 2018 Wrangler hood from scrapyard

Fri, Oct 14 2016

After an apparent mix-up, FCA may be looking for a new scrapyard to which to send prototype parts. JLWranglerForums.com member Redrockjk recently purchased a used Wrangler hood from a yard near the FCA proving grounds. When he ordered it, he thought it was from a 2014 model, and while it looked very similar to his current hood, after installing he discovered something unusual. It was too long. From what we can see in the photos from JLWranglerForums.com, the leading edge of the hood sticks out roughly two inches from the top of the Wrangler's grille. The greater length is also clear when the hood is placed next to its likely predecessor. The receivers for the exposed latches are also too far forward to be used on a current Wrangler. Redrockjk also said there wasn't a VIN or a part number anywhere on the hood. As if those details weren't a big enough red flag, Redrockjk reported that the used parts supplier contacted him to ask for the hood back. We reached out to Jeep to see if they could confirm if this is a hood for the next-generation Wrangler. Unsurprisingly, the company had no comment at this time. Considering the details, and the proximity of the scrapyard to an FCA proving ground, there's a better than zero chance this is from a pre-production 2018 Wrangler sent to the yard to be scrapped. No word on whether the hood was aluminum, as has been rumored. Except for the length, the part fits pretty well on the current model. The hood vents present are also similar to those found on some current models. It's one more piece of evidence that the next Wrangler won't stray far from a proven formula.
