I'm only selling our hard-to-find two-door stick-shift 1998 XJ Cherokee because we're having a kid and two doors isn't going to cut it with a car seat to wrangle.

This Jeep has everything you need (Command-Trac 4WD, manual transmission, the famous 4.0 liter inline 6 engine) and nothing you don't (extra doors, power equipment that breaks, etc.)

We're the second owners. The Jeep spent its early years in Maryland and then, after we bought it with 94k miles, some time in North Carolina and now Brooklyn, NY. We've maintained it very carefully (oil changes every 3k miles, transmission fluid changes, differential and transfer case fluid changes, lubrication, air filters, spark plugs, cables, distributor cap, brake pads, rotors, shoes, and cylinders, etc.) We've replaced the water pump, the battery, and the tires. It never needs oil between oil changes.

It's rust-free except for a small spot at the bottom of the rear quarter panel on the driver's side that should be easy to take care of (see photo). See the photos of the undercarriage - it's in fantastic shape. This Jeep is all stock - no lift, no aftermarket modifications. We've never taken it off-road. It's never been smoked in. Heat works great and the air conditioning is cold.

While in North Carolina, we were in a minor accident that caused some cosmetic damage on the front passenger side: the plastic grille and fiberglass grille opening panel were broken, the fender panel and plastic bumper were dented, and the headlight and turn signal were broken. The insurance company decided that the cost of the repairs would exceed what they thought the vehicle was worth, but we kept it and repaired it, which means that it has a salvage title. The salvage brand did not transfer when I registered the car in New York, but, just so we're clear: the vehicle has a salvage title. We replaced the grille, grille opening panel, fender panel, and lights. You can see the discoloration in the plastic bumper. There was no damage beyond this (the hood wasn't damaged, for instance) and I'm happy to provide pictures of the damage for you to assess for yourself.

What else? There's a chip in the windshield (see photo). No FM stations on the radio (this could be as simple as a bad connection to the antenna, I haven't had time to check), and the rear speakers aren't in great shape. There are some rock chips (which I've touched up) on the front grille opening panel. The carpet in the cargo area has light stains in two spots. The headliner is sagging a bit over the rear seat. The front mats are a bit worn. There will probably be a few more miles on it when you get it, because we're using it (locally) until it sells.

If we weren't having a kid, I'd drive this Jeep forever. But here's your chance to own a classic! If you want to see it in person, just ask. And let me know if you have any questions.

We've also listed the vehicle locally; if it sells we'll end the auction.

Jeep shows off Moab Easter Safari concepts crawling the red rocks

Thu, 28 Mar 2013

While most brands are busy showing off in New York, Jeep headed out to Moab for the Easter Jeep Safari with the company's fleet of 2013 concepts. This year saw the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk II, Wrangler Mopar Recon, Wrangler Stitch, Wrangler Sand Trooper II, Wrangler Flattop and Wrangler Slim Concepts tackle the rocks and sand, and Jeep was kind enough to bring along a camera crew to film the machines rolling over a few obstacles. The result is the video below, though don't expect to see too much hardcore off road action.
Instead, the quick clip features more than a few interviews with Jeep executives, including Jeep Head of Product Design Mark Allen, explaining what makes the Easter Jeep Safari so important. You can check out the quick clip below for yourself, and be sure to thumb through our galleries of the concepts as well.

Dirt Every Day tries to find the best 4x4 for under $4k

Mon, 25 Aug 2014

If you want to build a cheap truck that can still do dirty deeds off the beaten path, it's best to start with solid axles and a solid V8 engine. That sums up the lessons learned after watching the 2014 Cheap Truck Challenge from the Dirt Every Day video crew, who took to the deserts and surrounding areas near Reno, NV, in an attempt to find the best 4x4 for under $4,000. Fortunately for us, the whole sordid journey was captured on video.
This isn't the first time the boys from DED filmed a Cheap Truck Challenge, and this year's festivities pitted together a 1993 Chevy S10 pickup, a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee and a 1975 International truck in a series of challenges ranging from donuts to drag races, with plenty of hill-climbing and rock-crawling action in between. We don't want to spoil all the fun, but suffice it to say one competitor was found to be lacking while the other two performed (mostly) well. See for yourself in the video above.

The 2014 North American International Auto Show is right around the corner, which means it's high time we found out which cars and trucks would be finalists for the prestigious North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards.
The finalists - three in cars and three in three trucks/utilities - are dominated by American brands, with two-thirds of the finalists hailing from either General Motors or Chrysler (don't worry Ford, there's always next year), while outliers from Mazda and Acura can be found in each contest. Here now is the list of finalists for the big prizes:
