1991 Jeep Cherokee XJ with a 4.0 V6 and auto trans. This Jeep is a reliable rig.

The previous owner said the motor was rebuilt in 2006 and it runs like it, but I have no proof of Rebuild. I have driven it to work everyday for the past week and it has been very reliable and got surprisingly good gas Milage, but it is definitely built to go off road. Without sway bars, you need to concentrate when on the interstate and doing over 55 mph. I just trailered it to Tuttle creek ORV Park in Kansas with our local Jeep Club this past weekend and it is a beast. It runs hard and climbs some big rock walls. The pictures are of it Rock Climbing.

Here is a rundown of the list of equipment on this Jeep.

  • Complete Exo-skeleton (exterior rollcage)
  • Whole Jeep is Herculined Black
  • 6.5" Long Arm Lift Kit
  • Custom 4 link Rear with Coil Springs
  • Custom Rock Sliders hooked to Cage
  • 33x12.5-15 TRXUS Mud Tires with Great tread
  • Automatic Front Locker
  • Rear Spool
  • Slip Yoke Eliminator
  • KC OffRoad Lights
  • Massive OffRoad Tie Rod and Drag Link
  • New Battery only couple months old
  • $1000 Winch set up with front/rear quick disconnect
  • Brand New $300 Matching Spare on Rim
  • CB Radio w/Wilson antenna. Quick disconnect for removal
  • Sirrus Satellite Radio
  • It would cost a lot to build this and my reserve is less than the parts on the Jeep. Make no mistake, this is not a perfect vehicle, the body has many dents dings and the body panels are dented. It makes noise and has pops and creaks when turning and climbing but it seems to not effect the reliability and as I said, it was put to the test this past weekend and nothing could stop it. The 4x4 works and it has low end Grunt. It would serve as a daily driver if needed, but make no mistake, it is built for the Rocks and Trails. If you are looking for a show truck and looks, this is not it... but if you need a Mechanically Strong and Reliable Jeep that is a Beast on the Rocks and trails, this is the one. Thanks for looking

    Jeep driver nearly gets washed away by fast moving river

    Wed, May 11 2016

    Just because you can do something doesn't mean that you should. For example, you should never attempt to cross a fast-moving river in a bone stock Grand Cherokee no matter how shallow the river looks. Especially if you don't know what you're doing. A video posted recently to the Facebook group Jeep EXPERIENCE, shows an inexperienced jeep driver learning that lesson the hard way. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The video starts innocently enough, with a group of off-roaders watching one of their friends attempt to ford a shallow looking river. Things quickly go sideways however, when the driver of the silver Grand Cherokee just plunges right in and quickly gets in over his head. The river is moving faster than the driver thinks it is, the driver panics, makes some bad decisions, then the jeep is turned over and swept downstream. Eventually, the jeep is hauled out by a Land Rover after a long comedy of errors that involves one guy losing his trousers to the current and the Cherokee ingesting untold gallons of water. What went wrong here? Well, It's pretty obvious from the video that the Cherokee driver didn't have a clear idea of where he was going or about the condition of the riverbed. He chickened out halfway across the river, and in what appears to be a misguided attempt at turning back, he reverses, digs himself deeper in the riverbed, then turned broadside on into the current. When he changes his mind again and decides to just gun it for the opposite shore, he drives directly into a deep water hazard that would have been obvious to an experienced off-roader. At that point the jeep and the driver were doomed. Hopefully the driver learned a lesson here, and hopefully he didn't pollute that river too much with the jeep's fluids.

    Lexus tops JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study again, Buick bests Toyota

    Wed, Feb 25 2015

    It shouldn't surprise anyone, but Lexus has once again taken the top spot in JD Power's Vehicle Dependability Study. That'd be the Japanese luxury brand's fourth straight year at the top of table. The big news, though, is the rise of Buick. General Motor's near-premium brand beat out Toyota to take second place, with 110 problems per 100 vehicles compared to Toyota's 111 problems. Lexus owners only reported 89 problems per 100 vehicles. Besides Buick's three-position jump, Scion enjoyed a major improvement, jumping 13 positions from 2014. Ram and Mitsubishi made big gains, as well, moving up 11 and 10 positions, respectively. In terms of individual segments, GM and Toyota both excelled, taking home seven segment awards each. The study wasn't good news for all involved, though. A number of popular automakers finished below the industry average of 147 problems per 100 vehicles, including Subaru, (157PP100), Volkswagen (165PP100), Ford/Hyundai (188PP100 each) and Mini (193PP100). The biggest losers (by a tremendous margin, we might add) were Land Rover and Fiat, recording 258 and 273 problems per 100 vehicles. The next closest brand was Jeep, with 197PP100. While the Vehicle Dependability Study uses the same measurement system as the Initial Quality Survey, the two metrics analyze very different things. The VDS looks at problems experienced by original owners of model year 2012 vehicles over the past 12 months, while the oft-quoted IQS focuses on problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership. Like the IQS, though, the VDS has a rather broad definition of what a problem is. Because of that, a low score from JD Power is no guarantee of extreme unreliability, so much as just poor design. In this most recent study, the two most reported problems focused on Bluetooth connectivity and the voice-command systems. The former leaves plenty of room for user error due to poor design (particularly true of the Bluetooth systems on the low-scoring Fords, Volkswagens and Subarus), while the second is something JD Power has already confirmed as being universally terrible. That makes means that while these studies are important, they shouldn't be taken as gospel when it comes to automotive reliability.

    NHTSA investigates FCA for SUVs that roll out of Park

    Tue, Aug 25 2015

    The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation into the 2014 Dodge Durango and 2014-205 Jeep Grand Cherokee after 14 complaints of the SUVs rolling out of Park. An estimated 408,000 of them could be affected, if a recall is necessary. All of the current complaints submitted to NHTSA about the issue concern the Grand Cherokee, and the claims allege that the SUV can roll out of Park whether or not the engine is running. Some folks report that they check the indicator each time because the gear sometimes fails to engage. Among the 14 cases, there are five accounts of crashes and three injuries, including a situation with someone allegedly being rolled over. NHTSA's preliminary evaluations are meant to investigate "the scope, frequency, and safety-related consequence" of a reported problem. They don't necessarily lead to a recall.

The unintended motion has occurred with both the engine off and the engine running. ODI has also identified EWR field report data related to the alleged defect. The model year 2014 and 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles are equipped with an electronic gear selector (shift-by-wire system). The gear selection is made by pressing the shifter-paddle forward or backwards; the shifter does not move along a gate path as with conventional gear selectors. A Preliminary Evaluation has been opened to asses the scope, frequency, and safety-related consequence of the alleged defect. The VOQs associated with the opening of this investigation are: 10733158, 10730952, 10683556, 10679497, 10583366, 10725429, 10715401, 10711893, 10676998, 10668651, 10662619, 10662308, 10605865, and 10567538.
