1979 Jeep Cherokee Chief Wide Track 4x4 360 V8 Automatic in excellent condition. This Jeep Runs and drives great, AC is cold, and it's a pleasure to drive. Engine and Trans have both been rebuilt a few years back, front end is tight, brakes are in great condition. No need to have it shipped it's good to drive anywhere.It is original except for a new style ford 2bl carb (better gas millage), a 2" helper spring lift, new 33 12.50 tires, and dual exhaust. With the new style carb and bigger tires to gear it up we average around 15 mpg. I added a CD player in the console but the original am fm CB radio is still in the dash, it works but the speakers are not hooked up to it, I ran them to the CD player. I added a 15 inch electric fan to the engine for extra cooling when running ac in traffic. I have the original paperwork, owners manuals (including the window sticker) from when it was bought new at Hinkles Jeep in Pickens SC. Interior is original (not recovered) and in great shape. Body is in the most excellent rust free condition I've ever seen one of these in. It has been repainted with new decals and it looks great with the exception of a few small chips (see pictures) and some places on the roof at/in front of the luggage rack that have peeled some but easy to fix if so desire but not very noticeable as is. I hate to part with it but I need a truck. I live in Seneca SC and welcome anyone to come drive and check it over all they want before they bid but once sold it is of course as is without a warranty. My cell is 864 723 3723 At work I can't answer the phone so text only and I will call you back or email is good as well. I am a certified mechanic, ran my own shop for over 20 years before I retired from auto repair, this jeep is my personal driver so I have kept it right and ready to drive. It shows well and does draw a lot of attention wherever I go! |

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee gets surprisingly comprehensive update, new diesel power
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Traditionally, automotive journalists can be heard muttering something to the effect of "Geeze, it's about time!" whenever a vehicle's midcycle refresh is revealed. As we routinely see and drive new models many months before the public even claps eyes on them in showrooms - and then go on to tweeze apart their minutia in our daily writings - perhaps some impatience is to be expected. With so much exposure to a given vehicle, it's fair to say we tire of most cars and trucks far more quickly than the average consumer.
The alterations are handsome, if not subtle touches from the "If It Ain't Broke" school of design.
Which is why we're pleased to say "Oh, is it time for that already?" when it comes to the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The current WK2 Grand Cherokee hit the market in 2011 and climbed its way into our hearts with its rugged good looks, go-anywhere capability and surprising refinement. We're not yet tired of its appearance or performance, but even so, we're very glad to see Chrysler giving its flagship Jeep some attention, including a much-anticipated diesel powertrain option and some other economy-minded measures.
Chrysler recalls 350k vehicles over ignition switches
Thu, 25 Sep 2014Chrysler has announced a recall covering 349,442 vehicles due to ignition switches that can either become stuck or move without warning. All of the affected vehicles are from the 2008 model year, and were built before May 12, 2008.
The automaker has learned that ignition keys on some vehicles "may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position during engine-startup," the company said in a statement. Additionally, "an ignition key may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position and may inadvertently move through the 'ON' position to 'ACCESSORY' or 'OFF.'"
Chrysler says it is unaware of any related injuries, and notes that while reduced braking, engine or steering power is possible in such instances, the airbags are not affected. The later stands in contrast to General Motors' recent rash of high-profile recalls, and it's an important distinction that Chrysler (understandably) felt necessary to call out in bold print in its press release.
Jeep Renegade gets Riptide and Frostbite customs at SEMA
Wed, 05 Nov 2014The cute little Jeep Renegade isn't even on sale yet, but here at SEMA, the Mopar folks are giving us a taste of what's possible for the little CUV in the big wide world of customization. Part of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' massive SEMA spread, the Renegade shows up in fresh Riptide and and Frostbite guises.
First up, the Riptide arrives in Vibrance Grandeur Blue with black wheels and a big ol' Jeep Performance Parts logo on the rear pillar. There are a few black accents elsewhere on the exterior, and a surfboard carrier rides up on the roof. The blue color scheme also finds its way inside the Renegade, on the instrument cluster and side panels, with contrasting white accents.
By contrast, the Frostbite Renegade reverses the Riptide's color scheme, with white being the main paint of choice, with blue accents abound. And inside, Katzkin seats wear blue upholstery. The Frostbite is a pretty functional creation, as well, with a Mopar ski/snowboard roof rack and a Jeep Performance Parts rock rail guard.
