I'm only selling our hard-to-find two-door stick-shift 1998 XJ Cherokee because we're having a kid and two doors isn't going to cut it with a car seat to wrangle.

This Jeep has everything you need (Command-Trac 4WD, manual transmission, the famous 4.0 liter inline 6 engine) and nothing you don't (extra doors, power equipment that breaks, etc.)

We're the second owners. The Jeep spent its early years in Maryland and then, after we bought it with 94k miles, some time in North Carolina and now Brooklyn, NY. We've maintained it very carefully (oil changes every 3k miles, transmission fluid changes, differential and transfer case fluid changes, lubrication, air filters, spark plugs, cables, distributor cap, brake pads, rotors, shoes, and cylinders, etc.) We've replaced the water pump, the battery, and the tires. It never needs oil between oil changes.

It's rust-free except for a small spot at the bottom of the rear quarter panel on the driver's side that should be easy to take care of (see photo). See the photos of the undercarriage - it's in fantastic shape. This Jeep is all stock - no lift, no aftermarket modifications. We've never taken it off-road. It's never been smoked in. Heat works great and the air conditioning is cold.

While in North Carolina, we were in a minor accident that caused some cosmetic damage on the front passenger side: the plastic grille and fiberglass grille opening panel were broken, the fender panel and plastic bumper were dented, and the headlight and turn signal were broken. The insurance company decided that the cost of the repairs would exceed what they thought the vehicle was worth, but we kept it and repaired it, which means that it has a salvage title. The salvage brand did not transfer when I registered the car in New York, but, just so we're clear: the vehicle has a salvage title. We replaced the grille, grille opening panel, fender panel, and lights. You can see the discoloration in the plastic bumper. There was no damage beyond this (the hood wasn't damaged, for instance) and I'm happy to provide pictures of the damage for you to assess for yourself.

What else? There's a chip in the windshield (see photo). No FM stations on the radio (this could be as simple as a bad connection to the antenna, I haven't had time to check), and the rear speakers aren't in great shape. There are some rock chips (which I've touched up) on the front grille opening panel. The carpet in the cargo area has light stains in two spots. The headliner is sagging a bit over the rear seat. The front mats are a bit worn. There will probably be a few more miles on it when you get it, because we're using it (locally) until it sells.

If we weren't having a kid, I'd drive this Jeep forever. But here's your chance to own a classic! If you want to see it in person, just ask. And let me know if you have any questions.

We've also listed the vehicle locally; if it sells we'll end the auction.

Winter storm got you down? Try snowboarding through Manhattan

Tue, Jan 26 2016

Two filmmakers decided to make the best of this weekend's historic snowstorm by turning New York City into a winter sports enthusiast's wonderland. Popular YouTube based filmmakers Casey Neistat and Jesse Wellens uploaded this video of Neistat snowboarding through the empty streets of Manhattan yesterday. While officials were warning motorists to avoid driving in the blizzard, Neistat and his buddy were being pulled by a Jeep Wrangler through Times Square. It goes without saying that this stunt is suicidally dangerous. There are several moments in the video where Neistat gets pretty close to wiping out on the back of parked, snow covered cars or on the cornerstones of buildings. All to the soundtrack of Frank Sinatra's New York, New York, no less. The police do make a cameo, but NY's finest admit to merely wanting to watch the escapades. "Someone complained about you, so we're going to act like we're talking to you," the unnamed officer can be heard saying on video. The original video has since gone viral, and currently stands at over 6.2 million views in just 24 hours. Despite the virality of their tricks, please do not attempt this in your own snowbound metropolis.

Stellantis and Foxconn's new joint venture will focus on connectivity

Wed, May 19 2021

MILAN — Carmaker Stellantis and TaiwanÂ’s Foxconn announced plans to develop a jointly operated automotive supplier focusing on technology to make vehicles more connected, including artificial intelligence-based applications and 5G communications. Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares said the services that will be developed through the tie-up “will mark the next great evolution of our industry,” alongside fully electrified and hybrid powertrains. The deal brings together Stellantis, the worldÂ’s 4th-largest automaker formed this year by the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and PSA Peugeot, and Foxconn, a major supplier of iPhones. The companies said the venture would focus on such services as infotainment, the integration of telecommunications and computer systems, artificial intelligence-based applications, 5G communications, e-commerce channels and smart cockpit integration. The companies announced a non-binding memorandum of understanding to form a 50-50 joint venture called Mobile Drive, which will be based in the Netherlands and function as an automotive supplier also to other carmakers. The new venture will combine advanced consumer electronics, Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) to create new services “that will exceed customer expectations,” the companies said in a release. “Customers today and, in the future, demand and expect ever-increasing software-driven and creative solutions to connect the drivers and passengers with the vehicle inside and out,Â’Â’ Foxconn Chairman Young Liu.

Fiat-Chrysler shows its SEMA lineup

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles already previewed its 2014 SEMA show lineup with some slick renders. Now, the automaker has finally showed us the actual cars, and among the group there are definitely some that stand out more than others.
Dodge is really showing off its muscle at this year's show with four concepts that all pump up the power of the brand's models. Perhaps most interesting among them is the Challenger T/A Concept (pictured above) in striking Sublime Green and matte black. It's meant to resemble the classic Trans Am racer from the '70s. Under the hood is a 6.4-liter V8, and to fit the vintage style there's a pistol-grip gearshift inside.
The Charger R/T also gets some attention with the Mopar concept that shows off what FCA's aftermarket performance arm can do. Mods include an updated body kit, cold-air intake for the 5.7-liter V8 and a coil-over suspension kit. Beyond that, the Dart R/T Concept looks a lot meaner with a black hood with duct work that leads straight to the air intake. The rest of the compact sedan is dolled up in O-So-Orange paint and is fitted with upgrades to improve handling like a coil-over suspension and big brake kit from the Mopar catalog.
