This is a rare 1979 Jeep Cherokee. It has an AMC 360 V8 motor. It is full time four wheel drive with an automatic transmission. The odometer reads 60449 but I'm sure that it has turned over and is 160449, though I do not know that for sure, neither did the previous owner. The title states that the odometer has exceeded mechanical limits. It has a 3" body lift with 33" tires on 15" rims. I have installed new brake calipers on all 4 wheels with new pads as well. There is very little rust on the body but the floor boards had quite a bit of rust damage and the previous owner patched the damage with metal. The previous owner decided to remove the big stock mirrors and installed small mirrors, so there are screw heads where the old mirrors mounted. There is one small rust hole in the hood and a little surface rust near the wheel wells, but other than that the body is rust free. There are some small dings and dents in the body as shown in the pictures. The windshield has a crack in the driver side. The previous owner installed a custom front bumper with a grill guard. The previous owner also installed new black carpet and seat upholstery. I have let the Jeep sit long enough that mice have damaged a little bit of the carpet as shown in the picture. The dash needs some work as it is cracked and the gauges have shifted out of place. The fuel gauge does not work. I'm not sure if its the sending unit or the actual gauge. There is no headliner. I have the passenger door trim, it is just not installed. The rear gate has an electric window that works and the gate folds down. The engine has new Edelbrock intake and carburetor, new battery, new spark plugs, new spark plug wires, new starter, new master cylinder, and new starter solenoid. It does have some blow by so the engine smokes a little at idle and the valve cover gaskets leak a little causing smoke in the engine compartment. The engine starts and runs good, unless it has sat a while. If it has sat for a couple days, it takes some time to start it. I haven't had the carburetor tuned since I installed the new carb, so a tune up may help. The transmission shifts smooth and seems solid. The Jeep drives good on the road. Its a fun vehicle to own and drive, I just don't have the time to give it the TLC it deserves.

Autoblog Minute: FCA issues Uconnect software update amid hacking fears
Wed, Jul 29 2015Carjacking has gone wireless, as automakers and Congress scramble for a solution after a disturbing video on Wired showed a pair of researchers controlling a Jeep Cherokee remotely. Autoblog's Adam Morath and David Gluckman report on this edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Carjacking has gone wireless, as automakers and Congress scramble for a solution. I'm Adam Morath and this is your Autoblog Minute. Cars with wireless connections are susceptible to remote hacking, as demonstrated in a disturbing video on Wired.com. The segment showed two researchers remotely controlling a Jeep Cherokee, including running vehicle's the wipers, turning up the music, and ultimately shutting down [00:00:30] the Jeep while it was being driven on the highway by Wired senior writer Andy Greenberg. Washington took note. A press release issued from the desks of senators Ed Markey and Richard Blumenthal introduces legislation protecting drivers from auto security privacy risks. Fiat Chrysler, parent company of Jeep, has a solution for its customers. For more we go to Autoblog's David Gluckman. [GLUCKMAN INTERVIEW] Chrysler has worked with the Uconnect cellular provider Sprint to plug security holes on the carrier side. The vehicles themselves can't be updated wirelessly, so [00:01:00] the remaining changes require physical access. For that, customers have three options: One, download the Uconnect software update to a USB stick and install. Two, wait for FCA to send a USB stick with the latest software that they can install, or third, visit a dealer. Owners should do what they're most comfortable with. I made a video that walks through the whole process from download to install and it took about a half hour. [MORATH] David's full video tutorial of how to install the Uconnect fix can be seen on Autoblog. [00:01:30] It remains to be seen how the rest of the auto industry will respond to these security risks. For Autoblog, I'm Adam Morath.

FCA CEO Mike Manley will run Americas for Stellantis after PSA merger
Sun, Dec 20 2020DETROIT — Fiat Chrysler CEO Mike Manley will run operations in the Americas when his company merges with FranceÂ’s PSA Peugeot early next year. FCA Chairman John Elkann announced ManleyÂ’s new post on Friday in a letter to employees. ManleyÂ’s role in the merged company had been a mystery. PSA CEO Carlos Tavares will run the overall company, to be named Stellantis. Shareholders of both companies will vote on the merger Jan. 4 to seal the deal creating the worldÂ’s fourth-largest automaker. The merger is expected to be completed by the end of March. PSA will get six seats on the new companyÂ’s 11-member board, which will be chaired by Elkann. The Americas, especially the U.S., are key to the new companyÂ’s success. Fiat ChryslerÂ’s Jeep and Ram brands are highly profitable, and Tavares has long wanted to sell PSA vehicles in the U.S. Manley has been the Italian-American automakerÂ’s CEO for 2 1/2 years, taking over when Sergio Marchionne died in 2018. Stellantis will have the capacity to produce 8.7 million cars a year, just behind Volkswagen, the Renault-Nissan alliance and Toyota.
