HERE IS A VERY HARD TO FIND 1988 JEEP COMANCHE PIONEER 4X4 SHORT BED PICKUP... IT IS 99.9% FACTORY ORIGINAL AND NEVER CUT ON, LIFTED, OR BUTCHERED...
IT HAS THE BULLET PROOF 4.0L 6 CYL, 5 SPEED, PS, PB, A/C, TILT WHEEL, AND STILL HAS THE FACTORY DOLBY AM FM CASETTE STEREO... ONE OF THE FEW NON ORIGINAL THINGS ON THIS COMANCHE ARE THE FRONT DOOR SPEAKERS, THAT I RECENTLY REPLACED WITH 3 WAY SPEAKERS... THE REAR SPEAKERS ARE ORIGINAL TO THE JEEP AND THE SYSTEM WORKS AND SOUNDS GREAT...
THE JEEP HAS 178K MILES AND STILL RUNS LIKE A CLOCK... ZERO KNOCKS, SMOKE, TICKS, CLICKS, AND IS READY TO ROCK TODAY... THE CLUTCH, BRAKES, TRANSMISSION, TRANSFER CASE, REAR END (TRACK LOCK 3.08 GEARS) ALL WORK AS THEY SHOULD AND ARE QUIET... YES, IT HAS FACTORY SKID PLATES... THE DASH AND HEADLINER ARE BOTH EXCELLENT...
IT BURNS, LEAKS, DRIPS, ZERO FLUIDS AND CAN BE PUT IN YOUR DRIVEWAY OR GARAGE AND NOT MARK IT'S SPOT... THERE IS ZERO RUST ANYWHERE ON THIS JEEP... IT NOT ONLY COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL OWNERS MANUAL, BUT ALSO THE MAINTENANCE RECORDS FOR THE LAST 100K MILES... THESE RECORDS START IN 1994 WHEN THE JEEP HAD LIKE 80K MILES ON IT AND ARE AWESOME FOR YOUR REVIEW... SOME OF THESE ITEMS INCLUDE NEW BRAKES AND ROTORS, NEW WINDSHIELD, NEW TIMING CHAIN AND GEAR SPROCKETS, NEW SHOCKS, STEERING DAMPER ETC ETC ETC... IN THE LAST 7 OR 8 YEARS THE JEEP WAS USED AS A WEEKEND WARRIOR AND A WEEKEND FISHING/CAMPING RIG... IT HAS ONLY 15-20 THOUSAND MILES USAGE IN THIS TIME PERIOD... IT PULLED A SMALL TRAVEL TRAILER WITH EASE...
THINGS DONE IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS INCLUDE NEW CAT CONVERTER AND MUFFLER, FRESH OIL AND FILTER, AIR AND FUEL FILTER, PLUGS, PLUG WIRES, CAP AND ROTOR... THE CAMPER SHELL WORKS AS IT SHOULD AND YES, COMES WITH A KEY TO LOCK YOUR STUFF INSIDE... THE JEEP AND THE SHELL BOTH HAVE SLIDING WINDOWS BETWEEN THE TRUCK AND THE SHELL... THE SHELL ALSO HAS SLIDING SIDE WINDOWS WITH SCREENS... THE SIDE WINDOWS GIVE AWESOME VIEW AND ZERO BLIND SPOTS WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING...
I MOSTLY USE THE JEEP AS A FISHING RIG AND CAN BACK DOWNHILL IN THE SAND AT THE RIVER AND KNOW ILL GET OUT WHEN ITS TIME TO HEAD HOME...IT IS NOT A ROLLS ROYCE, BUT NOT MEANT TO BE... IT IS VERY RELIABLE, AND GIVES PEACE OF MIND WHEN DRIVEN...
WHATS THE BOTTOM LINE ??? FIRST, YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO FIND A GOOD RELIABLE COMANCHE OR YOU WOULDN'T BE READING THIS... AN ORIGINAL AND RUST FREE JEEP LIKE THIS ONE ARE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND... I HAVE SEEN VERY SHARP 4X4 COMANCHE'S GO FOR AS MUCH AS $14,000 RECENTLY... THIS IS NOT A SHOW JEEP BY ANY MEANS, BUT WOULDN'T TAKE ALL THAT MUCH TO BRING IT TO A VERY NICE LEVEL...
WHAT DOES IT NEED ??? NOTHING---UNLESS YOU WANT TO DO MORE TO IT... IT DOES HAVE SOME PEELING ON THE CLEAR COAT, A FEW SMALL DINGS HERE AND THERE BUT VERY MINOR... THE SPOTS THAT HAD SMALL SCRAPES AND DINGS WHERE SURFACE RUST (DUE TO BARE METAL) HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED AND PUT IN PRIMER BY A PRO BODY GUY... IT WOULDN'T TAKE MORE THAN A FEW HOURS LABOR HERE AND THERE TO HAVE IT READY FOR FRESH PAINT... ALTHOUGH THE TIRES STILL HAVE GOOD AND DECENT RUBBER THEY ARE OLDER AND WOULD NEED TO BE CHANGED OUT IF YOU ARE IN THE MOOD TO GO CROSS COUNTRY, BUT FOR A FISHING VEHICLE THEY ARE FINE AND HAVE LOTS OF SERVICE LIFE LEFT... THE A/C NEEDS FREON...
THERE IS A SLIDESHOW OF 37 PICS LOCATED HERE---http://s394.photobucket.com/user/IMBUZZZ/slideshow/1988%20JEEP%20COMANCHE%20PICKUP

Updated 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee ace same controversial moose test it failed in 2012 [w/video]
Thu, 02 Jan 2014Some background: one of the more scandalous international incidents of he-said/he-said from 2012 was when Swedish magazine Teknikens Varld put the Jeep Grand Cherokee through its "moose (or elk) test" and reported that the SUV nearly rolled over. That lead to a whole lot of accusations and rebuttals: more than one website and Chrysler's own blog reported that the Jeep was overloaded; Chrysler said Teknikens printed the magazine then let Chrysler respond, Teknikens answered all of the charges in a lengthy post and said Chrysler was given a chance to comment before it went to print; when Chrysler sent investigators to oversee the test and the Jeep didn't go up on two wheels as it did in the first test, furthermore all four wheels stayed on the ground when Auto Motor und Sport tested a Grand Cherokee in the same way.
Teknikens then re-ran the test with a new vehicle and said it's been doing this test since the 1970s, uses the loading information that Chrysler provides to the Swedish motor authority and the previous Grand Cherokee passed with no problem. In the second test, the Jeep failed again, then it gave Chrysler engineers access to the car's electronics and ran the test again. In that second round the Grand Cherokee didn't repeat the lurid two-wheel action, but in eleven runs it blew out front left tire seven times. Chrysler still objects to the results of all of those tests and maintains that vehicle was safe.
The 2014 Grand Cherokee was given its shot at the gauntlet in the latest round of moose tests, and Teknikens Varld reports that it passed without any problem at all, its stability control working perfectly, controlling motion at low speeds and all the way up to 44.1 miles per hour. You can watch the video of the new test and read the press release from the magazine on the updated Grand Cherokee below.
Marchionne may stay with FCA until 2020
Mon, Aug 31 2015We might get to see Sergio Marchionne and his vast array of sweaters in the auto industry for even longer than expected. The FCA CEO suggested last year that he would retire from the automaker when its current five-year plan was complete in 2018. Now, he has tentatively extended that point out to at least 2020. "I can do this for another five years if you push me, right? Beyond that, I ain't gonna do it, and I don't want to," he said to Automotive News. That would give Marchionne a 16-year career at the top from joining Fiat in 2004 to possibly leaving FCA in 2020. Although, take the CEO's statement with a grain of salt because he has made multiple statements about the timing for his retirement. In 2012, Marchionne said he would only remain in charge until 2015, which is, well, now. Those five years might also go quite quickly because Marchionne is a busy guy with the Ferrari IPO, the attempted merger with General Motors, implementing FCA's five-year plan, and many other projects. He's already considering the next CEO, though. "My purpose in life is to find the Kuniskises of the world, the Manleys, the Biglands, the Palmers," Marchionne said to Automotive News, referencing the heads at Dodge, Jeep, FCA North America, and the company's chief financial officer, respectively. "I told them, 'One of you is going to do what I do one day. I don't know who that is, but one of you is going to do it.'"
