Up for sale is my daughters 1997 Jeep Cherokee Country (classic, sport). It has a Rough Country 3" lift, with new hydro shocks installed when we purchased it 2.5 years ago. We also installed the new tires and wheels at that time. vehicle has had approx. 25,000 miles put on it since she bought it. She has moved up to a lifted Jeep Liberty, so we are selling her Cherokee. Since we have owned it, we have replaced:
Water pump,
Battery,
Fuel Injectors
O2 Sensors,
exhaust
power steering pump
engine belt
battery temp sensor
radio and speakers
power window switches
fuel pump
upper and lower ball joints
both axle shaft U joints
both wheel bearings
calipers, brake pads, and rotors
all fluids changed regularly - axles, trans, engine, transfer case
(Please bear in mind I believe in complete and total honesty - I am revealing EVERYTHING I know about the vehicle - you being happy with your purchase is very important to me)

Jeep has (as of this posting) 150,036 miles on it now. No leaks or burning of fluids but some seepage visible - rear main seal, rear diff pinion, etc. Never have to add any fluid between oil changes or maintenance windows. 4.0 I-6 in great shape, auto trans works perfect. Body in decent shape, no major damage or rust to be concerned about. Body does have some body work in its past life that is "so-so" if you look up close. Body work done on the drivers door, around the lock area. Body work done on the roof in a 2 areas. Has a small  rust hole in the lower rear passenger side quarter panel, drivers side just edge surface rust, visible in pics. Does have rust in floor under drivers and passenger front footwells, I have just left it alone, cant tell unless you crawl under and look - but the frame, suspension mounts,body mounts all in better then average shape - car appears it was rust proofed and undercoated early in its life. Bottoms of doors solid, rockers are solid. Has an aftermarket electric sunroof that works properly, rattles and does drip in very heavy rains (explains the rust in the floor boards in front only and why I didn't patch them!). Drives nice and straight down the road. Most all functions work - heat, wipers, radio, windows. Drivers door lock solenoid bad, A/C has a leaky line and does not hold a charge, but all parts are there and complete (I tried to charge it when we first got it - and it did run and cool - but leaked out very quickly). Leak is in a solid line, near the battery. Rear liftgate struts are weak. Seats in good shape, interior is not trashed. We have not hesitated to let my daughter drive this every day, and including our trips with our Jeep club twice a year which is 5 hours away.  Drove it there, did some fun off-roading and drove it home.
Just passed IL emissions test beginning of July. Aftermarket off-road front and rear steel bumpers with D-ring mounts and front stinger. Aftermarket front slush mats. Aftermarket stereo MP3 with aux in and new speakers all the way around. Interior in decent shape, no rips or tears in seats or carpets. Great first vehicle for someone that needs something dependable and tough. This Jeep always starts - even on the coldest winter days. We wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere. 4 wheel drive works great. Price somewhat negotiable, but not much - really because of the tons of new parts, its ready for a new owner - throw plates on it and go!

Woman and child die after Jeep gets stuck in mud

Tue, Mar 10 2015

A Florida woman and her baby died over the weekend when their Jeep sank into deep mud during an off-roading trip. Taylor Brown took his girlfriend Hallie Lewis and their infant son Bryson off-roading in his Jeep Cherokee on Saturday night. The Jeep became stuck in thick mud, according to WESH. Brown got out of the vehicle while Lewis and Bryson remained inside. Using a winch, Brown tried – unsuccessfully – to free the Jeep. The Cherokee was left running as he struggled to pull it out of the mud. When he returned to the Jeep to check on his son and girlfriend, he found them unresponsive. Taylor pulled the two out of the back window, but it was too late. Lewis was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. The baby died shortly thereafter. Police are still investigating, but their deaths appear to be a tragic accident due to carbon monoxide poisoning. The tailpipe of the Jeep was either submerged or caked with mud, allowing the deadly gas to build up inside the vehicle. News Source: WESH Weird Car News Jeep tailpipe carbon monoxide

Best car infotainment systems: From UConnect to MBUX, these are our favorites

Sun, Jan 7 2024

Declaring one infotainment system the best over any other is an inherently subjective matter. You can look at quantitative testing for things like input response time and various screen load times, but ask a room full of people that have tried all car infotainment systems what their favorite is, and you’re likely to get a lot of different responses. For the most part, the various infotainment systems available all share a similar purpose. They aim to help the driver get where they're going with navigation, play their favorite tunes via all sorts of media playback options and allow folks to stay connected with others via phone connectivity. Of course, most go way beyond the basics these days and offer features like streaming services, in-car performance data and much more. Unique features are aplenty when you start diving through menus, but how they go about their most important tasks vary widely. Some of our editors prefer systems that are exclusively touch-based and chock full of boundary-pushing features. Others may prefer a back-to-basics non-touch system that is navigable via a scroll wheel. You can compare it to the phone operating system wars. Just like some prefer Android phones over iPhones, we all have our own opinions for what makes up the best infotainment interface. All that said, our combined experience tells us that a number of infotainment systems are at least better than the rest. WeÂ’ve narrowed it down to five total systems in their own subcategories that stand out to us. Read on below to see our picks, and feel free to make your own arguments in the comments. Best infotainment overall: UConnect 5, various Stellantis products Ram 1500 Uconnect Infotainment System Review If thereÂ’s one infotainment system that all of us agree is excellent, itÂ’s UConnect. It has numerous qualities that make it great, but above all else, UConnect is simple and straightforward to use. Ease of operation is one of the most (if not the single most) vital parts of any infotainment system interface. If youÂ’re expected to be able to tap away on a touchscreen while driving and still pay attention to the road, a complex infotainment system is going to remove your attention from the number one task at hand: driving. UConnect uses a simple interface that puts all of your key functions in a clearly-represented row on the bottom of the screen. Tap any of them, and it instantly pulls up that menu.

Jeep does Renegade Chinese-style with Zi You Xia design concept

Sat, 19 Apr 2014

As we mentioned, Jeep is bringing a quartet of concepts to the Beijing Motor Show this year. Its largest model, the Grand Cherokee, is nowhere to be found, but its smallest is. That, of course, would be the new Renegade, which has been done up as the Zi You Xia design concept.
Taking its name from the Mandarin word (or words) for "rebel," the Zi You Xia takes its inspiration from the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing, with a Warm Chocolate Gray paintjob with contrasting dark bronze trim. The roof, grille and mirror caps are color-keyed to match the rest of the exterior, riding on 20-inch alloys in the same dark bronze finish.
Inside it's all Piano Black, Anodized Copper and brown leather with plaid fabric inserts. Scope it out in the high-res image gallery above and the press release below.
