Jeep was armored by Square 1 Armoring company out of Florida (still in business) and the build plate is mounted inside the motor bay. This vehicle was originally purchased by the US Department of Defense and was used by someone in the department for most of it's life (not many miles). It was then sold to a businessman in Canada, spent a brief time there before I aquired it via a broker in Washington state. I bought it about a year ago as I was planning on making quite a few trips to Mexico, but I am no longer going to do that and have no need for it anymore.
Original miles on this vehicle are as shown in the photo (38,193), but when it was moved to Canada they had to convert it to KM's which came out to 62,000 km's and once I brought it back to the states they transferred it back to miles.
Vehicle is in very good condition for it's age and it runs and shifts excellent. The only thing I did since I have owned it is change all fluids and had the master cylinder replaced. There are some normal small door dings and scratches as one would expect from a vehicle of this age.
Tires are in great shape (like new Michillens)
This jeep is armored with opaque and transparent armor components. I was told that the transparent armor is from Iso-Clima and the Opaque armor consists of high hardness steel lateral armor, with steel in the firewall with US Dept of State approved overlap system. Pillar posts and sail panels are armored with rigid composite armor. Floor and roof armor is of layered ballistic composites. Tailpipe is caged and it appears the fuel tank it armored. I was told it had run flats but cannot confirm it.
I'm not an expert on armored vehichles, so I cannot guarentee everything I was told. I can guarentee this is an armored vehicle built for the DOD and the DOD never bought anything under a B4 level. I believe this jeep to be either B4 or B5 level armor.
The hood alone must weigh a hundred pounds, it's heavy.
There are some issues with the windows; the front windshield is cracked and there is some distortion in the passenger side front and rear window along with the drivers side rear. Also, the hood stand is missing.
The Jeep is still drivable with the front windshiled cracked, but I would suggest replacing it as soon as possible. I will give the winning bidder contact info for the manufacture who quoted me about $3200 for a new front windshield. This is a very good price and will pass the info along.
If you know anything about these vehicles they are very expensive to buy (even used discreet armored vehichles are expensive). I'm not going to give it away, but somebody will get a good deal.
Vehicle is being sold 'as is' and no warrenty is given or implied.
Shipping costs are to be buyers.

NHTSA closes investigation on 4.7M FCA power modules, no recall
Thu, Jul 30 2015FCA US hasn't had the best time with recalls as of late. Not only did the company recently agree to greater safety oversight and paid $105 million to the government, that came just days after hacking fears prompted a 1.4-million model recall campaign. However, a recent decision to close an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration means that the automaker doesn't have to worry about another major recall possibly affecting 4.7 million vehicles, according to the agency's report (as a PDF). Last September, the Center for Auto Safety petitioned NHTSA to investigate an alleged problem with the totally integrated power module (TIPM) on these FCA US models. The group claimed that a fault with the component could cause a variety of maladies, including stalls, not starting, catching fire, unintended acceleration, and airbag non-deployment. At the time, it also submitted 70 cases where this had reportedly happened. According to NHTSA, "no valid evidence was presented in support of claims related to airbag non-deployment, unintended acceleration, or fire resulting from TIPM faults and these claims were found to be wholly without merit based on review of the field data and design of the relevant systems and components." The agency did find signs of an issue with the fuel pump relay in some Jeep Grand Cherokees and Dodge Durangos, but FCA US issued recalls for the problem in September 2014 and February 2015. Without anything else to go on, the Feds don't think it's worth investigating this topic any more.

Why Mopar won't release a factory lift kit for the new Jeep Cherokee
Thu, 24 Apr 2014The Jeep Cherokee Dakar concept showed off at the 2014 Easter Jeep Safari made a lot of online friends, even the Cherokee naysayers assenting that there's a monster Jeep underneath the Cherokee's skin if you're willing to go in and get it. But after reading Road & Track's write-up of what went into creating the Dakar, particularly its lift, you'll understand why you'll probably never see the components for it in the Jeep Performance Parts catalog.
The concept's press release mentions a "prototype Jeep Performance Parts lift kit, and additional suspension modifications." The short-story explanation is that the front struts on the standard Cherokee weren't engineered to accept any amount of lift, so the long story begins with the phrase, "an entirely new suspension." Head over to RT to read the details, and don't be afraid to ogle the Cherokee Dakar gallery and another awesome Jeep fancy that won't likely crawl over the hurdles imposed by production reality.
