I am selling my 1989 Jeep Wrangler, YJ which I have owned since 1990. I purchased it from the original owner at 9,000 miles and used it as a daily driver throughout the 90's. During the last decade or so, I have kept it garaged and only used it as a weekend recreational vehicle-especially without the top, for summertime activities s/a float trips, camping etc. Although it looks like a rock climber, it has never been used off road except for gentle trips through my farm to check my cattle operation. I have always assumed that I would never part with it, but life has given me a reason to change my mind. My 22 year old daughter (who was born about the same time I bought the Jeep) and her husband are buying their first home. I have elected to contribute the proceeds from the sale of this vehicle toward their down payment.

A few years ago, I made several upgrades to the Wrangler, including a suspension lift, new Warn front bumper with 8,000# winch, new wheels/tires (which have now have about 10,000 miles on them) and rear bumper w/swing-out spare tire support rack. At the same time, I had a fresh coat of exterior paint applied along with the black fender flares and running boards. New front and rear seats were installed at this time also. Since this time, the vehicle has been used as evidenced by the numerous dings, scratches and worn areas which have developed in the finish. I have attempted to reveal these in the numerous photos. You will also notice one pic of the rear seat demonstrating a partial thickness cut in the seat cover (see pic with iPhone and hand shown for perspective). This does not appear to affect the integrity of the fabric since it is not a full thickness defect. Also notice the three shots of the paint crazing on the two front fenders.

These have no evidence of rust, but appear to be defects of the paint only. I painted the hardtop 10 or 12 years ago, and you can see from the pictures that the frequent removal and replacement has placed several scratches, nicks, and dings in this. If I was keeping the Jeep, I would paint this again for a quick, low cost upgrade.

Mechanically, the Jeep has no known problems. It has always been a dependable auto that starts and runs smooth. In preparation for the sale, I wanted to verify that there were no mechanical issues with the vehicle, so I brought it to my mechanic and told him to go through it and fix anything that needed repair. He first performed a carburetor cleaning, but when this was done, I didn't feel it idled smooth so I took it back. He ended up performing a Nutter bypass and put on a new carb. I had read online that this would be a real power booster and I have to agree. Just like promised by various websites, it now starts, runs, idles and accelerates better than ever. Please note: the Nutter bypass might prove to be a problem with licensing in those states with strict emissions testing; please check your state's regulations on this before bidding or you might end up having to undo the bypass. Everything else seems to be working fine except for the following two items: The Jeep has A/C, which is not currently cold. The last two or three years that I drove it with the top on required additional freon at the start of each summer season-then it always worked fine. As I mentioned above, I have only used this Jeep without its top for the past few years, so I haven't had the need for A/C and didn't put any freon in for some time. I have no reason to believe that it needs service beyond refrigerant, but I cannot be 100% positive-since I haven't tried this in 3-4 years. The instrument panel gages all work appropriately except for the gas gage, which reads full-until half the tank is used, when it starts declining. It reads 3/8 when the tank is empty.

If you are looking for an attractive, low mileage, essentially original Jeep that is mechanically sound, you search is over; this is the one you've been shopping for. When driving down the road, this beautiful Jeep will turn heads-especially with the top off. On the other hand, if you are looking for a flawless vehicle or a perfect ground up restoration-this is not your car. Although it is well above the norm for a 24 year old automobile, it is not perfect. As my pictures have attempted to show, close scrutiny will reveal several imperfections. I have greatly enjoyed this Wrangler and I cared for it like a member of my family. Except for trips, it has never spent any nights outside of a garage. I am sad to see it go, but I trust it will be an attractive/dependable automobile which will bring many years of pleasure to its new owner like it did for me.

This vehicle is also being advertised locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early.

Jeep Wrangler Polar Edition coming to America

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

Jeep originally took the wraps off its Polar Edition Wrangler at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, and at the time, we figured this would be a Europe-only affair. (Perfectly fine, since we US customers haven't exactly been lacking special edition Wrangler models over the years.) But now, and as Jeep says, just in time for winter, the automaker has announced that the ice cold Wrangler will be hitting North American showrooms in November.
Based on the Wrangler Sahara model, the Polar Edition can be had in either two- or four-door body styles, with a unique Hydro Blue paint job as the featured color. (Buyers can also opt for less-special Billet Silver and Bright White hues.) Other exterior enhancements include a body-colored hardtop, 18-inch gloss black wheels, the Powerdome (power bulge) hood, and unique decals all around the body.
But the Polar Edition isn't just about some paint and stickers. Jeep has fitted this Wrangler with a Dana 30 front axle and Dan 44 rear axle, as well as the Trac-Lok anti-spin electronic rear differential. Like all US-spec Wranglers, the Polar Edition uses Jeep's 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, producing 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. Both a six-speed manual and five-speed automatic transmission are available.

Chrysler, Nissan looking into claim that their cars are industry's most hackable

Sun, 10 Aug 2014

A pair of cyber security experts have awarded the ignominious title of most hackable vehicles on American roads to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, 2014 Infiniti Q50 and 2015 Cadillac Escalade.
Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek are set to release a report at the Black Hat hacking conference in Las Vegas, Automotive News reports. The two men found the Jeep, Caddy and Q50 were easiest to hack based not on actual tests with the vehicles, but a detailed analysis of systems like Bluetooth and wireless internet access - basically, anything that'd allow a hacker to remotely gain access to the vehicle's systems.
Considering this lack of hands-on testing, the pair acknowledge that "most hackable" could be a relative term - they point out that the vehicles may actually be quite secure.

2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4X4

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Ice skates are spectacular on frozen water, yet they are dreadful everyday footwear. I consider the Jeep Wrangler equally as specialized.
I recently spent a week with a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4X4. Introduced for the 2007 model year, the Wrangler Unlimited is a standard JK two-door with 20.6 inches added to its wheelbase and two additional doors bolted to its passenger compartment. While Jeep offers the Unlimited in seven different trim levels, the desirable Rubicon is the most capable when the pavement ends, as it boasts a slew of hardcore off-road tools including front and rear electronic locking differentials and a front sway bar that can be disengaged at the touch of a button for improved articulation. My I-Look-Like-A-Traffic-Cone test model started with a base price of $34,095 (plus $995 destination). Options including a five-speed automatic transmission, Uconnect, tow package and a premium soft top, drove the bottom line up to $38,630.
