NO Researve!
2006 Jeep Liberty CRD Diesel, 4x4 with lots of upgrades
I'm unloading just about everything because I am moving soon, two vehicles gone, and two more to go.
First, the bad, and the reason for the low price and no reserve.
Sunroof will open, but not close.  It is stuck open ~1".  It's been taped since it happened, and no water has gotten past the tape.  It's either the switch, or the motor, don't know which.  The tape comes off easily enough with a heat gun and mineral spirits to clean up the residue.
ABS is not working, this is a known issue.  The wiring harness that runs inside the floor breaks at the rear connector.  I have a new harness that will be included, but it is not installed.
Passenger side airbag fuse is pulled due to Recaro seats.  The factory seat uses an occupant sensor that is built into the seat, and the airbag light on the passenger grab bar, above the glove box, is illuminated if the fuse is in. 
There is a bit of loss of power, but I don't know why.  Check engine light is NOT on, there are no apparent leaks of anything anywhere.  It could be buildup in the valves and intake runners which can also happen with these if the PCV is left to vent directly into the turbo.  I moved the PCV vent into the airbox, so it pulls through the airfilter, but I did buy it used.
Minor damage to rear passenger door (see pics) thanks to another driver that required evasive maneuvers a couple years ago.
Passenger side strut stud is broken (I think).  The strut is not secured to the strut tower, but, I will include a NEW pair of Old Man Emu Struts.

So, it's not perfect, and needs a little work, but for all the work that's been done, it's still a great deal.


The Goods:
Old Man Emu 1.5" springs
Skyjacker front struts
Old Man Emu rear shocks $800

(5) New 215/85R16 Cooper ST tires, great in everything but deap mud
Suncoast Torque Converter $700
Transgo Shift Kit, 45RFE-HD2, $150
Mag-Hytec Deep Transmission Pan $300
Deep aluminum finned rear differential cover $150
Detroit TrueTrac rear differential $800 installed
NEW Turbo, less than 500 miles $800 installed
NEW SKF hubs, less than 500 miles $600 installed
Cross Drilled and Slotted Rotors
Ceramic Brake Pads
Green Diesel Engineering Tune, with programmer $900
Recaro leather seats from a Saline Mustang, these are pretty nice, and in excellent condition....I forget how much I paid
JVC Arnsenal Stereo
High Flow Exhaust, 2.5" aluminized from downpipe back
Dynomax muffler

There is a chance I missed something, because I've had it for a few years and have worked on it over time, but I think that's everything.  That's over $5000 in parts, with better ride and traction.

Check my feedback, if you're concerned about the one negative, maybe you should re-read it.  I cancelled the transaction because three weeks later, he still hadn't paid me.  It was supposed to be removed, looks like I need to make another call the the wonderful eBay help center.

Europe gets Jeep Wrangler Polar limited edition

Wed, 04 Sep 2013

Jeep will be bringing an all-new, limited-edition model to the European market called the Wrangler Polar. Based on the Wrangler Sahara and set to make its debut at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Wrangler Polar sports new Hyrdro Blue paint, gloss black 18-inch wheels, a body-color hardtop, and the regular mix of Mopar styling accessories. Billet Silver Metallic and Bright White are available for those that don't dig the glossy blue, while a two-door variant will be available in addition to the four-door pictured above.
The Polar's interior features similar tweaks; Pearl White contrast stitching can be found on both the seats and steering wheel, while ceramic White bezels and other accents give a nice contrasting look to the cabin.
Underhood sits an engine that should make American Wrangler enthusiasts weep - a 2.8-liter, four-cylinder turbodiesel. With 200 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque channeled through a five-speed automatic transmission, the Wrangler Polar should handle itself just fine on normal roads. British buyers will also be able to select the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6. For rougher stuff, Dana axles can be found front and rear (Dana 30 up front and Dana 44 in back), while the Command-Trac four-wheel-drive system and its two-speed transfer case should be enough for when the roads disappear.

Feds chastise Marchionne over Jeep recall, only 13% repaired so far

Sat, Nov 22 2014

Following the significant outcry surrounding the General Motors and Takata airbag safety crises this year, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration seems to be taking a much more aggressive role in pushing owners to repair their recalled vehicles. In the agency's latest move, it's urging Jeep drivers to get their models fixed. Acting NHTSA administrator David Friedman even sent a letter to Fiat Chrysler Automobiles CEO Sergio Marchionne pressing him to get more of the SUVs fixed. The problem goes back to the recall of the 2002-2007 Liberty and 1993-1998 Grand Cherokee because of the possibility for the fuel tank to rupture in some rear crashes. The campaign affected over 1.5 million vehicles, but Chrysler initially refused NHTSA's request for a repair campaign. The automaker eventually came up with a fix that involved adding a trailer hitch to provide extra protection to the tank. The feds believe the danger "will be reduced by the remedy now offered by Chrysler," according to the statement. However, this latest push comes out of NHTSA's concern that only three percent of the affected vehicles are repaired, although Chrysler maintains some 13.4 percent have actually been fixed. The agency is asking the automaker to reach out to owners "proactively," and get them to bring the Jeeps in dealers. According to the the feds' statement, the company "has nearly 400,000 parts available" to perform the fixes, and it's still producing more. Friedman's letter to Marchionne goes even further, alleging NHTSA has received reports that dealers are turning customers away who request the recall. He asks the CEO to prove within 15 days that these claims are false. "Given the low rates of repair that Chrysler has reported more than a year after the recall, significantly more aggressive steps are required," says a portion of the note. According to The Detroit News, Chrysler has subsequently promised to speed up the recall work, vowing that all dealers will have at least 12 repair kits in stock by Monday. Further, it has announced plans to ramp up its notification campaign with Facebook ads and public service announcements. Scroll down to read NHTSA's full statement on the matter, and Friedman's letter to Marchionne can be read in PDF format, here.

FCA and Peugeot reportedly agree on merger

Wed, Oct 30 2019

Citing a Wall Street Journal report, the Detroit Free Press says "Fiat Chrysler and PSA Groupe have agreed to merge." The Journal reported on talks between the two car companies only yesterday. It's said that Peugeot's board met yesterday to approve the deal, FCA's board met today, and an announcement could come as soon as tomorrow, Thursday. Both automakers have released statements, but neither company has released any information beyond admitting to ongoing talks. If the merger happens, the combined entity would become the world's fourth-largest carmaker with a $50 billion valuation, slotting in behind Toyota, the Volkswagen Group, and the Renault Nissan Mitsubishi alliance. Among the merger options possible, "an all-stock merger of equals" is the one analysts and Moody's seem to give the best grade. The reported merger would come about four months after FCA walked away from merger talks with Renault. FCA said the French government scuppered those talks over the role of Nissan in a reformed entity, but there were also brewing issues with French unions, and ongoing turmoil among Renault and Nissan leadership thanks to continuing fallout from ex-CEO Carlos Ghosn's arrest last year. FCA makes most of its revenue in the U.S. and rules Italy, while Peugeot is the second-best-selling automaker in Europe with its own brand in France and Opel in Germany. The two companies already have a partnership in Europe making vans, one that FCA CEO Mike Manley has spoken highly of. Among the list of obvious benefits in a potential merger, FCA would get access to Peugeot's small, modern platforms, $10.2 billion in cash, and electrified and hybrid architecture developments, the latter especially important to FCA as those are fields where it lags. Peugeot would get much easier access to the U.S. market, and the money-printing brands Jeep and Ram. A merged carmaker would have combined sales of nearly 9 million a year, based on 2018 results. By comparison, both Volkswagen and Toyota sell over 10 million cars a year, while the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance almost 11 million. Peugeot CEO Carlos Tavares has proved he knows how to do turnarounds and mergers. After leaving a position as Carlos Ghosn's right-hand man in 2012, Tavares took over Peugeot in 2014, navigated a bailout from the French government and China's Dongfeng Motors in 2015, and turned PSA into a regional powerhouse.
