Hi, Up for sale is my 1988 Cherokee. I originally bought the jeep 3 years ago and built it up in California, I moved Illinois and had it shipped back. It spent its entire life, up until this past winter in California, so it has no rust. I have kept all the receipts for this build along with the parts instruction manuals. The odometer says 225,000, but that is only on the body, everything else has been replaced. Here's a list of all that is on it... You can buy it now at $7500, the reserve is set at $6000.

The jeep has been wheeled and is unstoppable, it has some rock rash on the wheels and on the body, but the paint is still glossy and looks great. There are two things that need a little bit of work. There is some interference coming through the speakers, I've been told it just needs a better ground. It also needs an alignment. It drives straight and tracks fine, but the steering wheel is cocked at a strange angle. If you have any other questions or want more pictures, let me know. Thanks for looking.
Maybe I should have posted this better, the body, mainly just the odometer has 225000 miles on it. The axles, transmission, transfer case, engine, lift, and basically everything else has about 10,000 miles on them. The axles were fully rebuilt at a shop in california called the rear end shop, new seals, new bearings, new gears and new lockers. The transmission was bought new along with the bellhousing, slave cylinder and throwout bearing. Transfer case is out of a 2006 jeep liberty and was rebuilt when the slip-yoke eliminator was installed. Tom woods driveshaft was purchased new when i bought the lift. The engine has been completely torn down, and rebuilt at tech machine in Livermore, ca. It has been bored 30 over and is running a comp cams xtreme 4x4 camshaft for big torque. if you have any other legit questions, ask away. Thanks.

Chrysler investigating complaints of vehicles with faulty power modules
Sun, 24 Aug 2014Chrysler owners are hopping mad after experiencing a series of electrical gremlins in some of the company's vehicles. Issues range from mere annoyances - windows rolling down and radios turning off of their own accord - to serious safety issues, with headlights that randomly shut off at night and cars that stall and refuse to start.
The issues are being blamed on the total integrated power module, which can cost up to $1,000 for customers to replace. This, of course, has led to a hefty batch of complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with 240 owners expressing their displeasure so far. Another site, CarComplaints.com, has registered over 300 complaints relating to the 2010 to 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango, alone, according to The New York Times.
Chrysler has acknowledged that it's investigating the complaints and is analyzing the faulty TIPMs, but that isn't quite enough for customers of the affected vehicles. The newspaper has snagged a few of the more harrowing tales with the electrically challenged Chrysler products, culled from the NHTSA complaints.
eBay Find of the Day: Jeep Comanche Zombie Response Unit
Sat, 02 Feb 2013We've seen some pretty fantastic apocalypse vehicles in our day. We've even owned one or two, but this particular Jeep Comanche tugs at our heart strings in all the right ways. Let's start with the basics: there's a stout 4.0-liter engine underhood hooked to a five-speed manual transmission, and while we wish this truck was four-wheel drive, the two-inch lift and oversize tires should help you overcome obstacles with enough momentum.
Details like handy shovels, Jerry cans and a brush guard inspired by the hardware on a CUCV help lend the truck a no-nonsense appeal, and the functional CB whip antenna means you can ask for backup when the undead hordes come your way. If you like what you see as much as we do, you can head over to eBay Motors to place a bid. The auction has inched up to $4,000 with just two days left on the clock.
2014 Jeep Cherokee
Thu, 19 Sep 2013The Cherokee Is Dead. Long Live The Cherokee.
There are three sentences that, for this reviewer, define what needs to be conveyed about the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. The first: it is very good.
Jeep spent 27 years building the Cherokee and its brand, from 1974 to 2001. Twelve years ago, the Cherokee nameplate rolled away into the distant hills and retirement, at least here in the NAFTA colonies, and it was replaced by a loaded word we knew as "Liberty."
