This jeep is in excellent running condition. . I drive it daily around my home town here in south Texas. Ive taken road trips in it to Atlanta Ga. and Ray Co. Its without a doubt reliable. The down side is fuel economy and the salvage title. Id like to clarify that I did not fix it myself. It was already running when I purchased it. I bought it with the knowledge that it had a rebuilt title. Ive had it for almost three years now. After I paid it off, I decided to dress it up a little. The paint is less than a year old. Hard top, mirrors and door handles were all sanded down to match the rest of the jeep. I kept it the original factory color because it was my personal preference. I added the mesh grill, H4 Led head lights, Anzo Led turn signal , Led tail lights, three separate independently wired Cree Led light bars. One across the front windshield, one on the hood, and one on the bumper. There are also an additional 8 waterproof Led lights under the cab. Four on the right and another four on the left. In short the entire vehicle is set up with Led lights including the interior as well. Rims are 17X10 Dick Cepek and The tires are 37 Mickey Thompsons. A 3.5 suspension lift and a 1.5 body lift to make room for the 37 wheels. Front bumper and fenders are both Smitty Built. I had them all stripped down of their original line-x powder coating to a smooth finish to compliment the rest of the jeep (make it really stand out ) and its color. I added new pro comp ES9000 series shocks all around and had them painted the same color of the jeep as well with the punisher decal on each of them. Dual flowmaster exhaust, Cobra 29LTD C.B radio also painted to match the exterior color, a chromed out Road King mike, and a Wilson 2000 antenna to tie it all up. Stereo system is nice. AVH P3400BH Pioneer Radio DVD RDS and AV receiver. 400 watt four channel Rockford Fosgate amp, 10 inch Rockford Fosgate subwoofwer and polk audio speakers. I also had to change out the original 4:11 gears to 5:13s to compensate for the larger tires, and added a Super Chips programmer to adjust for economy or horsepower depending on what I was using it for. The interior is in good shape. No torn seats or stains. carpet is fair. Everything works inside with the exception of a few minor things, such as a crack on the left front windshield, rear windshield wiper doesnt work. Three of the four tires are between 50 to 60% one is at about 85% (front passenger) due to a gash on the side wall. Also when I had it painted they never replaced the windshield washer gadget that squirts windshield washer fluid out. thats pretty much sums up the cons. Power mirror, locks, cruise, A/C, heater and 4x4 work perfectly.

This incredibly detailed toy Jeep will set you back $2,300 [w/video]

Wed, Dec 30 2015

When I was a kid, I desperately wanted one of those Power Wheels Ford-badged Big Foot impersonators. They were far cooler than my lousy, plastic Big Wheel trike. This 1/8-scale electric Jeep takes the Power Wheels idea to a fanatical level. For one, the Capo Racing Jeep is as true to the real Wrangler as is possible in a 1/8-scale vehicle. Everything works, from the three-speed automatic transmission to the transfer case to the locking differentials. It uses a body-on-frame design with a real, metal multi-link suspension. In the cabin, the seats recline and the instruments light up. It has to be one of the most remarkable miniatures we've ever laid eyes on. Of course, that all comes at a price. As our chums at Jalopnik point out, for $2,300 you could pick up a full-size Wrangler. It'd be battered, sure, but it'd be something you could take on actual roads. Check out the fully gallery of images and official details over on the Capo Racing website. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

NHTSA upgrading Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango headliner fire probe

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation into headliner fires experienced by a small number of Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango owners has been upgraded to an engineering analysis, the step before the initiation of a recall. In August last year the investigation began with 146,000 Grand Cherokees from 2012 after three complaints were received, but a report on Edmunds says it has been expanded to include 593,299 vehicles covering the 2011-2013 model years for the Jeep and the Dodge Durango, which uses the same headliner assembly, because of possibly 52 incidents of fire.
In some of those incidents drivers have reported a burning odor, smoke or open flames that were contained to the headliner or migrated to another area of the passenger compartment. The culprit has apparently been found: NHTSA blaming an electrical short in the sun visor vanity light wiring, which is routed under the headliner and held in place by three screws. Chrysler began its own probe into the issue when it was first reported and is still looking into the situation while, "fully supporting the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's investigation."

Ford Explorer, Jeep Grand Cherokee flunk IIHS passenger-side crash test

Tue, Jun 12 2018

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has uncovered major safety-related problems while crash testing a number of popular midsize SUVs. Among those that scored an overall rating of "poor," the lowest possible score, are the Ford Explorer and Jeep Grand Cherokee. Both SUVs showed a high risk of injury to a front passenger during the IIHS' passenger-side small overlap front crash test. This test simulates what might happen if a car or SUV strikes an immovable object, like a telephone pole, at 40 mph and with roughly 25-percent of its front width. "Although some vehicles in this group offer very good protection, in other models, the airbags, safety belts and structure showed serious deficiencies," says IIHS chief research officer, David Zuby. "In those SUVs, a front-seat passenger would be at risk of injuries to the head, hip or leg in a right-side small overlap front crash." In the 2018 Ford Explorer, the front of the SUV showed the structure was "seriously compromised" during both driver- and passenger-side small overlap crash testing, according to the IIHS. The lower and upper door hinge pillar showed intrusion levels of 15 and 13 inches, while the door sill itself was pushed inward 6 inches toward the crash test dummy. The IIHS states these results indicate a high probability that a front occupant would suffer injuries to their right hip and lower left leg. The 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee didn't fare much better. Not only did the Jeep exhibit 10 inches of intrusion at the lower door hinge pillar, the front passenger crash test dummy's head hit the dashboard through the front airbag. Worse still, the side curtain airbag didn't deploy and the front passenger door opened. The IIHS says there is a strong chance this would result in right leg injuries, along with the possibility of a serious head injury. Even vehicles that earned an "acceptable" in the small overlap front crash test showed definite room for improvement. The 2018 Honda Pilot, for example, showed good structural performance during the crash itself. But the front passenger crash test dummy's head slid off the deployed airbag and hit the dashboard hard, indicating a head injury might result in a similar real-world crash scenario. Two other SUVs that scored "acceptable" ratings included the 2018 Nissan Pathfinder and 2018 Toyota Highlander. Scoring top marks of "good," the highest rating, in these IIHS crash tests were the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas, 2018 GMC Acadia, and 2019 Kia Sorento.
