I bought this jeep from the original owners several years ago. I absolutely love this jeep, and hate to sell it - it makes you happy to drive. Straight six, runs strong, no leaks, 102,000 miles! I would estimate I have spent over 8k in improvements - without fail I am complimented and get offers to buy it every day I drive it. Seriously, a crazy cool, sexy jeep. Read all of this before bidding!!
Four speed manual. Original warn winch. Full roll cage. Original paint in great condition. EVERYTHING NEW WITHIN THE LAST 1000 MILES: New seats. Ready for 4-point harness. New retracting seat belts with shoulder harness. New fuel tank and lines. New steering wheel, linkage, etc. New 3" skyjacker suspension - softer ride but better off road capabilities. New springs, Rancho shocks, shackles, etc. New fender flares, black accent pieces and black diamond plates New carpet throughout New stereo and speakers NEW BEST-TOP! (Full top with doors, etc), only on jeep once. New wheels and oversized tires (have over 2k in wheels and tires) with less that 100 miles on them. New lights: Headlights, front, side and rear indicators. I have had this jeep garaged since I bought it and restored it. What it needs: Needs new starter - once I put in new starter (this coming weekend) I will relist with a $1000 higher reserve. Needs carb work or new carb - set as lean as it will go it still runs a little rich. Original carb; probably best to replace it with a more current Edelbrock. Brakes need bleeding as they pull to the left in a hard brake. Turn signals needs to be connected. |

2014 Jeep Compass/Patriot sing their swan songs with a six-speed automatic
Tue, 15 Jan 2013Unless the governor, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne, gives them a reprieve, the 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot are expected to meet their makers sometime next year. Should they perish, it's a shame that it would happen just as they've shed the continuously variable transmission that was their major bugbear, and just as the Compass has gotten its best looks yet.
Both will roll with a proper six-speed automatic transmission, courtesy of PowerTech. Noise-resistant gears and tuning by Chrysler boffins should alleviate the unappealing sounds that were given off by the older CVT. Unless, that is, you choose to have either model equipped with Freedom Drive II; the serious off-road package, available on both baby Jeeps, will still come with the CVT. The base transmission on the entry-level Sport trim remains the five-speed manual.
Otherwise, it's minor changes for the Compass, set off by the new 18-inch wheel option, trim pieces around the car and a back-up camera. The Patriot gets seat-mounted airbags, but is carryover otherwise. With their expected demises perhaps a year away, not much has changed otherwise. Engine choices comprise the 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 158 horsepower and 141 pound-feet of torque or the 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 172 hp and 165 lb-ft.
Jeep Cherokee won't get diesel until sales of oil-burning Grand Cherokee improve
Tue, 01 Jul 2014Okay Jeep fans, you want more diesel options? Time to step up and prove it. The only way Jeep will offer a diesel powerplant in the Cherokee, according to brand head Mike Manley, is if sales of the Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel nearly double.
Currently, about eight percent of the Grand Cherokees sold feature the 3.0-liter, EcoDiesel V6. That's simply not enough to warrant the bringing an oil-burning Cherokee to the US market, despite the vehicle's presence in Europe, where it's sold with a 2.8-liter diesel V6.
"Cherokee is slightly different because of its weight and size. When I think about bringing Cherokee diesel here, I would like to see Grand Cherokee diesel get much higher than eight percent," Manley told Automotive News. "It would have to be in mid-double digits."
Federal investigations about safety of rear-mounted gas tanks is nothing new
Sun, 09 Jun 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Chrysler are currently making waves in our daily news feeds due to a disagreement over the safety of a few million Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokee models. Specifically, NHTSA has asked Chrysler to recall the SUVs because of the location of their fuel tanks, but you may be interested to know that requests such as this are nothing new.
Besides the two Jeep models, NHTSA has launched investigations over the years in such models as the Ford Crown Victoria (and its police-car counterpart), GM pickups built between 1972 and 1987, and rather famously the Ford Pinto.
Understanding how automakers and NHTSA have dealt with fuel-tank-safety concerns in the past may offer a better understanding of how Chrysler and the government agency will settle their current dispute. Check out the complete article from The Detroit News here.
