2003 Jeep Liberty Renegade With Arb Bull Bar And Ome Suspension on 2040-cars
Bemus Point, New York, United States
|
A well-maintained early example of the Jeep Liberty Renegade featuring the very cool rooftop light bar. Prices on ebay suggest that a collectability factor accompanies this model.
Everything works. And both key fobs and owner's manual showing early service history are included. This truck is fitted with an Australian ARB bull bar. It also has ARB/Old Man Emu shocks and springs providing a modest but useful 1+ 1/2 " lift. Mounted on the bull bar is a pair of PIAA driving lights. It has the 5-spd manual transmission and 3.7L gasoline engine. The transmission is a Mopar (not aftermarket) reman that was installed Sept 2013 and came with a 100,000 mile warranty. Also new in Sept 2013: catalytic converter and transfer case shifter assembly. The clutch pack was replaced March 2014. The a/c compressor was replaced in August 2012, as were calipers, rotors, e-brake cable, exhaust system and outer tierod ends. The color is Cactus Green pearlcoat. It has an EVIC info center, unusual in a Renegade, providing compass, outside temp, distance to empty, mileage to service, accumulated mileage, instant mileage, trip odometer, and more. The head unit is a JVC with a Sirius module and several months remaining on the subscription. Factory equipment includes the Skid Plate Group, Trailer Tow Group with a 2" receiver, the Active Lifestyle Roof Rack upgrade, 160 amp alternator, tinted glass, power fold-away mirrors, power sunroof, power locks, power driver's seat, power windows, fog lamps, tubular side steps, cruise control, six speakers, tilt steering column and the all-important grocery bag hooks (plus a lot of other stuff). I have the service log showing that the original owner had the oil changed every 3,000 miles. I change the oil myself and have used Pennzoil Ultra 100% synthetic motor oil. Despite the 220,000 miles on the odo, the engine does not use more than a quart of oil in 1,500 miles, and in fact ran for 3,000 miles last winter without consuming any oil. A typical tank of fuel will average 18-20mpg. A high percentage of the mileage is of the over-the-road variety; my wife and I have driven it on National Parks vacations from Western NY to Oregon and the State of Washington, to California, to Maine, and to Georgia several times. I had the undercarriage coated by Ziebart in November, 2012. There is a modest amount of rust bubbling along the bottom edge of the passenger doors and rocker panel, and on the inside of the rear door. The sale price includes clean right-side doors, rear door and rear glass I brought back from Atlanta, which are ready to paint and hang. A pair of brand-new struts for the rear glass is also included. |

Chrysler resolves recall issue with NHTSA, will inspect, upgrade affected Jeeps
Tue, 18 Jun 2013Chrysler made big news earlier in the month by refusing a recall request from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for the 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty. Last week, NHTSA boss David Strickland countered by defending his agency's request for the recall of 2.7 million Jeep SUVs. Today marked the deadline for Chrysler to formally respond to NHTSA, and it seems that both parties have met in the middle with Chrysler inspecting and upgrading some of the affected vehicles without using the word "recall," which would constitute the admission of a defect; instead, Chrysler said that it is conducting a "voluntary campaign."
At issue on these vehicles is the positioning of the fuel tank behind the rear axle that could get damaged during a rear-end collision. NHTSA has stated that at least 51 people have been killed in rear-end collisions involving these Jeeps after the vehicles caught fire, to which Chrysler countered by pointing out that both models "met and exceeded" the requirements for fuel-system integrity.
As a compromise on the situation, Chrysler says that it will inspect all pre-2004 Grand Cherokees and pre-2007 Liberty models and, "if necessary, provide an upgrade to the rear structure of the vehicle." According to Automotive News, this upgrade will consist of adding a trailer hitch that will presumably better protect the rear-mounted gas tank. Vehicles already equipped with a factory or Mopar hitch will not be modified. Chrysler's official statement on the matter is posted below, but no additional information has been released, such as when the campaign will begin and how many vehicles could be affected.
Stellantis will enter joint venture with Samsung SDI for EV batteries
Tue, Oct 19 2021SEOUL — South Korean battery maker Samsung SDI Co Ltd and global automaker Stellantis NV have agreed to jointly produce electric vehicle (EV) batteries for the North American market, a person familiar with the matter said on Tuesday. Samsung SDI, an affiliate of South Korean tech giant Samsung Electronics, already has EV battery plants in South Korea, China and Hungary, which supply customers such as BMW and Ford. "The two companies (Samsung SDI and Stellantis) have struck a MOU (memorandum of understanding) to produce EV batteries for North America," the person with knowledge of the matter told Reuters. The source spoke of condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter. The person said the location of the battery joint venture is under review and will be announced later. In July, Reuters reported that Samsung SDI may build a battery plant in the United States, citing a company source. South Korea's Yonhap news agency earlier reported the two companies plan to build a factory in the United States, citing industry sources. Samsung SDI and Stellantis did not have immediate comment when reached by Reuters. Stellantis on Monday struck a preliminary deal with battery maker South Korea's LG Energy Solution (LGES) to produce battery cells and modules for North America. Shares of Samsung SDI were up 2.6% as of 0300 GMT, versus a 0.6% rise in the KOSPI benchmark index.

Chrysler investing $20M in Toledo plant to support 9-speed auto production
Sun, 28 Apr 2013In 2011, Chrysler announced a $72-million investment in its Toledo Machining Plant to modernize production of the eight- and nine-speed torque-converters for automatic transmissions made there. That upgrade work won't be finished until Q3 of this year, but Chrysler has already announced a further $19.6-million investment to increase production capacity for the nine-speeders.
The extra units will be necessary because the nine-speed transmission they'll be mated to is going into three popular models: it will debut on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, then go into the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart. The company predicted that this year alone it would sell 200,000 units equipped with the nine-speed tranny, and it is spending some $374 million in addition to the investment in Toledo to upgrade production capacity for it.
The work attached to this new investment won't begin until Q3 of 2014, and it will be finished by the end of that year. There's a press release below with all the details.
