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.

Jeep: 4x4ever

Mon, Feb 8 2016

Jeep is turning 75 this year, and it seems like the star of the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles brand stable has been making cool ads that run during the Super Bowl almost as long. (Yes, we know this was Super Bowl 50. We're exaggerating.) In this spot, all kinds of active sports and nature stuff that Jeep owners do (or least like other to think they do) is shown with every kind of Jeep, old and new. Here's to another 75 years.

Jeep Renegade to show off new Mopar gear in Detroit

Sun, Jan 11 2015

Jeep's adorable new Renegade is arriving in the US market soon (we're looking forward to driving it in a couple weeks), and to highlight that fact, the American off-road brand is trotting out a pair of Mopar-modified compact CUVs for the 2015 North American International Auto Show. Rather simply, Jeep has modified one Renegade to show off its prowess in the city, and another that plays up the crossover's off-road abilities. Despite their different purposes, both vehicles show off Mopar's parts catalog and Jeep's Authentic Accessories lineup for the new baby Jeep. The Urban Renegade borrows uses a Renegade Limited with Anvil paint as its base and draws from the Accessories catalog, adding a number of Omaha orange accents and satin black wheels. Mopar donated a bike-hauling trailer hitch to the rear of the Renegade, while its cabin features Katzkin leather-lined seats. Once again, Omaha orange accents brighten up the Limited's cabin. As for the off-road model, Mopar got a bit more involved, starting with the Renegade Trailhawk and adding satin black wheels with Colorado red trim and X-shaped graphics, borrowed from military jerry cans, to the Commando Green exterior. A number of prototype and one-off body mods were fitted to the Trailhawk, including a concept skid plate, rock rails and a new rear valence. Inside, Katzkin leather was applied to the Renegade's seats while the Omaha orange accents from the Urban Renegade have been replaced with Commando Green bits and bobs in the off-road model. Look for more on these new Renegade twins come Monday, when we hit the floor of the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. Until then, check out the official press release from Mopar.
