Jeep: Wrangler Unlimited on 2040-cars
La Salle, Texas, United States
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.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
What's really going on with the 2014 Jeep Cherokee's transmission issues?
Fri, 27 Sep 2013On September 23, Automotive News reported that Chrysler had idled the second shift workers it hired just five weeks prior at its Toledo Assembly Complex to build the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. At the time, Chrysler said it had "built the critical number of vehicles we need to stock dealerships once containment is released" and did not want "to put additional strain on our logistics partners ... upon release." That reasoning was not only unusual, it didn't seem to make sense.
It appears the center of the nine-speed issue is software, not hardware.
That same day, the Detroit News ran a piece claiming workers at the Toledo factory said the halt was due to issues with the Cherokee's transmission. It put the number of already-built Cherokees needing fixes at 1,000 and said that some of the workers not laid off had been instructed "to take the Jeep on long test-drives." That made more sense. Three days later, on September 26, Automotive News reported that the 500 workers laid off had been reinstated, with engineers "speeding repairs on the SUV's powertrain software." The AN piece didn't put a number on how many units are being fixed, but it did say that 12,000 have been built and are awaiting delivery to dealers. The best it could say about when dealers will get them, however, is that "progress on a fix is being made. It's unclear when shipments to dealers will start."
Jeep going bigger with new Grand Wagoneer, smaller with sub-Renegade?
Tue, 11 Mar 2014The headlines are still rolling in for the new Renegade that Jeep unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show last week, but already reports are surfacing, citing sources within the company, about what Chrysler's iconic off-road brand will do next.
Speaking with Auto Express (whose reports we tend to take with a grain of salt or two), Jeep chief Mike Manley suggested that two courses of action are currently under consideration at Auburn Hills to develop two very different new models - one smaller and one larger than anything Jeep currently makes.
One plan would be to make an SUV or crossover even smaller than the new Renegade, although it isn't immediately clear what platform it would take. The Renegade (pictured above in Trailhawk spec) will be built in Italy alongside Fiat's upcoming 500X, but uses a heavily modified platform. We figure the smaller model, if approved, could base itself on the new Fiat Panda Cross.
