This is a rare 1979 Jeep Cherokee. It has an AMC 360 V8 motor. It is full time four wheel drive with an automatic transmission. The odometer reads 60449 but I'm sure that it has turned over and is 160449, though I do not know that for sure, neither did the previous owner. The title states that the odometer has exceeded mechanical limits. It has a 3" body lift with 33" tires on 15" rims. I have installed new brake calipers on all 4 wheels with new pads as well. There is very little rust on the body but the floor boards had quite a bit of rust damage and the previous owner patched the damage with metal. The previous owner decided to remove the big stock mirrors and installed small mirrors, so there are screw heads where the old mirrors mounted. There is one small rust hole in the hood and a little surface rust near the wheel wells, but other than that the body is rust free. There are some small dings and dents in the body as shown in the pictures. The windshield has a crack in the driver side. The previous owner installed a custom front bumper with a grill guard. The previous owner also installed new black carpet and seat upholstery. I have let the Jeep sit long enough that mice have damaged a little bit of the carpet as shown in the picture. The dash needs some work as it is cracked and the gauges have shifted out of place. The fuel gauge does not work. I'm not sure if its the sending unit or the actual gauge. There is no headliner. I have the passenger door trim, it is just not installed. The rear gate has an electric window that works and the gate folds down. The engine has new Edelbrock intake and carburetor, new battery, new spark plugs, new spark plug wires, new starter, new master cylinder, and new starter solenoid. It does have some blow by so the engine smokes a little at idle and the valve cover gaskets leak a little causing smoke in the engine compartment. The engine starts and runs good, unless it has sat a while. If it has sat for a couple days, it takes some time to start it. I haven't had the carburetor tuned since I installed the new carb, so a tune up may help. The transmission shifts smooth and seems solid. The Jeep drives good on the road. Its a fun vehicle to own and drive, I just don't have the time to give it the TLC it deserves.

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."

Jeep Wrangler burns when fireworks were set off inside the vehicle

Mon, Jul 9 2018

It should come as no surprise that some fireworks celebrations on the Fourth of July lead to damage and destruction of property. Whether it's poor planning, a lack of skills or simply bad luck, fire departments are usually pretty busy. That wasn't exactly the case when this Jeep Wrangler TJ burnt to the ground. Despite about two dozen people around when the Wrangler caught fire, no one thought it best to call emergency services. This content is hosted by a third party.

Last week, Chief Spokesperson for Montgomery County Maryland Fire & Rescue Service Pete Piringer sent out a tweet of a TJ that hadn't looked this rough since the body panels were just steel sheets moving through a press. According to Piringer, the fire was caused by a firework that was set off inside the vehicle. It's unclear if this was accidental or on purpose, though we imagine few people would actually want to burn their vehicles to the ground. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. No one was hurt by the fire. Despite no one calling the fire department, a few attendees attempted to put the fire out. Damages to the Wrangler TJ (built between 1997 and 2006) come out to more than $5,000. A follow-up tweet from Piringer said "charges pending," tagging the Montgomery County Fire Department, Office of Fire & Explosive Investigations/Bomb Squad and the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. It seems fireworks are illegal in Montgomery County. Related Video: News Source: Twitter via Jalopnik Weird Car News Jeep Truck SUV Off-Road Vehicles fire fireworks
