This vehicle is in N.E. Oklahoma (zip 74330) - Tag expired since MARCH 2009
This vehicle starts, runs smoothly and stops. Engine runs very smooth and powerful, not blowing smoke clouds. The 4 wheel drive system is in working condition and drive train is intact and most likely all original. The floor boards are not rusted out or rusted through... they are solid.
I do not know what is, or isn't, original concerning the top or the doors??? You will need to make those determinations if they are a factor in your bidding. I have every reason to believe that the full engine, drive-train and rolling gear are all original but again... you will need to make that determination. Lights work, horn works, whole thing works and is a blast to "putt" around in. It has a keyed ignition switch and push button starter. Brakes work.
This is a 50+ year old vehicle in used condition and will inevitably have needs along the way. I believe it is a military vehicle - vs - civilian vehicle. The gas tank is original and is in perfect condition with no foreign matter, rust, trash or sludge in it. The inside of the tank looks clean enough to serve hamburgers off of it. All tires have decent and near equal tread and wear. The odometer mileage is what is stated but is no way an indication of actual mileage on vehicle. It was listed "as is" on the odometer as Ebay demands in these listings.
I have installed an aftermarket electric fuel pump because the factory pump diaphragm failed. The factory fuel pump is still bolted to the engine and has just been routed around it. New battery, 12-volt converted system. This thing is fun to drive and it starts and runs solid at the touch of the ignition. There is minor leakage here and there from various gaskets at transmission/transfer case area although they seem to run out just fine. Locking hubs appear to be original to the vehicle.
The only real problem I am aware of with this vehicle is the turn signals need some troubleshooting to make work correctly.
I am a Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser expert and not a CJ Jeep expert. I will try to answer any questions about the vehicle, but may not be as savvy as a regular Jeep guy would be. Thanks for looking at my item, and happy bidding. This is a cool Jeep anyone would be pleased to own and drive and it seems dependable enough that it should last still a long time.

Chrysler 3.0L EcoDiesel V6: Autoblog Technology of the Year finalist
Wed, 19 Nov 2014Offering a diesel engine in an American pickup is anything but new - Ford, General Motors and Chrysler all offer excellent and almost impossibly powerful oil-burning engines in their various fullsize trucks. What is new and novel about the 3.0L EcoDiesel, though, is its size, and the variety of vehicles that use it. It's the smallest engine, as far as displacement is concerned, currently offered in a large truck in the US, and, for 2014 and 2015, it is available in the Ram 1500 and the Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Though it may be small, it's got muscle. While 240 horsepower isn't particularly impressive these days, the engine's 420 pound-feet of torque more than makes up for that. The torque rating is even greater force than even the big 5.7-liter Hemi can muster. Chrysler's well-regarded eight-speed automatic transmission makes the most of all that bull-headed pulling power in both the Ram and Grand Cherokee. Chrysler claims the Ram EcoDiesel 1500 can tow as much as 9,200 pounds when properly equipped, which makes it "90-percent of the Hemi with a night and day difference in fuel economy."
Make no mistake; it's that promise of a sizable fuel economy improvement that many long-haul truckers will be most interested in. In the Ram 1500 that we tested for our Tech of the Year competition, the diesel engine costs $2,850 more than the gas-fed V8, and Ram estimates that EcoDiesel buyers will pay off their investment when compared to the Hemi engine in less than three years, which is considerably less time than the 4.5 or so years the average buyer will keep his or her fullsize pickup. The more you drive, the more you'll save, and the math proves equally as effective in the Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Chrysler axes old V6s, goes all-Pentastar
Tue, 03 Sep 2013Old technology has a way of lingering on, particularly at Chrysler headquarters in Auburn Hills. So while the Pentastar V6 has replaced the older engine architecture in just about every application, it still soldiered on in some export markets. But the introduction of a new 3.0-liter Pentastar V6, produced in Michigan and meant only for the Chinese market, has put the final nail in the old engine's coffin.
Fitted into the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Wrangler just introduced to China at the Chengdu Motor Show, the downsized six uses the same architecture as the larger 3.6-liter Pentastar V6. But because of its 2,997cc capacity, it can be exported to China without the increased duty the 3.6-liter or even 3.2-liter Pentastar engines would incur. The 3.0-liter V6 develops 230 horsepower at 6,350 rpm and 210 pound-feet at 4,400 rpm.
Admittedly, it's unlikely, but even though the engine was said to be created solely to undercut tax thresholds in China and Europe, the 3.0-liter Pentastar has recently surfaced in rumors of an application here: as the boosted heart of a potential Cherokee SRT with anywhere from 375 to 410 hp.
Updated 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee ace same controversial moose test it failed in 2012 [w/video]
Thu, 02 Jan 2014Some background: one of the more scandalous international incidents of he-said/he-said from 2012 was when Swedish magazine Teknikens Varld put the Jeep Grand Cherokee through its "moose (or elk) test" and reported that the SUV nearly rolled over. That lead to a whole lot of accusations and rebuttals: more than one website and Chrysler's own blog reported that the Jeep was overloaded; Chrysler said Teknikens printed the magazine then let Chrysler respond, Teknikens answered all of the charges in a lengthy post and said Chrysler was given a chance to comment before it went to print; when Chrysler sent investigators to oversee the test and the Jeep didn't go up on two wheels as it did in the first test, furthermore all four wheels stayed on the ground when Auto Motor und Sport tested a Grand Cherokee in the same way.
Teknikens then re-ran the test with a new vehicle and said it's been doing this test since the 1970s, uses the loading information that Chrysler provides to the Swedish motor authority and the previous Grand Cherokee passed with no problem. In the second test, the Jeep failed again, then it gave Chrysler engineers access to the car's electronics and ran the test again. In that second round the Grand Cherokee didn't repeat the lurid two-wheel action, but in eleven runs it blew out front left tire seven times. Chrysler still objects to the results of all of those tests and maintains that vehicle was safe.
The 2014 Grand Cherokee was given its shot at the gauntlet in the latest round of moose tests, and Teknikens Varld reports that it passed without any problem at all, its stability control working perfectly, controlling motion at low speeds and all the way up to 44.1 miles per hour. You can watch the video of the new test and read the press release from the magazine on the updated Grand Cherokee below.
