I bought this Jeep new in September of 2010 and it has never let me down. Its a great little truck, does awesome in the snow and gets decent gas mileage (22 in the city and as good as 26 on the hwy). I wouldn't hesitate to drive this vehicle anywhere...and I mean that! It will go just about anywhere. Also, with a manual transmission this little trucklette is many times more reliable than the more common CVT models, plus it gets better gas mileage.

Interior:

The cloth interior has held up extremely well. There are no stains or marks on the front seats and the rear seat has indentations from child seats. I'm told if the child seats are taken out the normal shape of the seat returns...probably not an issue but worth mentioning. The carpet is near perfect everywhere and the factory original floor mats are still intact.

Exterior:

CarFax should show one accident back in 2012. A woman backed into the driver's side in her minivan. Insurance covered the repair and I had it performed at a legitimate shop opting to replace both the front and rear door with good used doors off a black Jeep Patriot rather than having the original doors repaired. It was more expensive to do it this way but worth it in my opinion to ensure there was no body filler or corrosion issues years later. The passenger side has a door ding about the size of a dime on the front door and a pretty decent size dent in the front fender just above the turn signal (see photos).

Mechanically:

This thing is rock solid. It corners flat, tracks straight and rides smoothly. The brakes are good and should last another 30 thousand miles depending how you drive. It has decent power for a 4 cylinder and I've never hand an issue with the engine/drivetrain. I added a K&N cold air intake at around 10k miles and saw a minor increase in mileage. The clutch has good grip and doesn't slip, squeal or chatter. The AWD/4WD system works as it should and the vehicle is not subject to any recalls.

Overall this Jeep is in good condition, it has a few minor imperfections but nothing that impacts performance or reliability.

Jurassic Park made a big impact on these Jeep drivers

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

For a certain cohort of young folks, Jurassic Park is a touchstone film from their childhood. Not only did it play into practically every little boy's love of dinosaurs, the movie included some great action scenes and special effects that still hold up today. In its latest video, The Aficionauto takes a look the Jurassic Park Motor Pool, a California car club with over 40 fans who created replica vehicles from the iconic film.
The club is made up of an interesting cross-section of people. Many of them were Jeep Wrangler fans that already loved off-roading and Jurassic Park, and liked the idea of bringing them together. Like any close-knit club, it ends up being about community and people coming together to share their interests. It's quite a heartwarming video. Also, be sure to stay until the end because The Aficionauto teases a future Jurassic Park-themed vehicle. Scroll down to check out the motor pool.

What will Detroit do with the abandoned AMC headquarters?

Mon, Dec 28 2015

As with so many other industrial and residential properties in Detroit, the former headquarters for the American Motors Corporation is having a hard time finding a reputable buyer. In October the Wayne County Treasurer held a tax foreclosure auction of 25,000 properties that included the AMC building, the starting bid being $500. Nicholas Casab won the building for $500, but the county voided the sale when Casab didn't pay the $232,000 in back property taxes. Detroit authorities haven't commented on the failed sale, but the city has until January 4 to decide if it wants to keep the building. If it doesn't want to hold onto it, the 1.5-million-square-foot property on 57 acres might be ceded to the Wayne County Land Bank Corporation. No matter who holds the deed come January 5, all anyone really wants is for someone to take possession of the building who will actually turn it into something useful and viable. The property opened in 1927 as a factory for the Kelvinator Corporation. Over the following decades, Kelvinator merged with the Nash Motor Company, and that merged entity merged with Hudson Motor Car Co, becoming American Motors. Chrysler took over the building in 1987 when it bought AMC, then shuttered it in 2009. The complex has produced refrigerators, Sikorsky helicopters, Jeeps, AMCs, and was used as an engineering center for Jeeps and other Chrysler products. Having been through several hands in the past six years, it is cited as part of the cycle of abandonment plaguing Detroit.

Jeep teases pair of Moab concepts early

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

With the 47th annual Moab Easter Jeep Safari coming up at the end of this month, Jeep is preparing to roll out six new off-road-ready concept vehicles. The first two being teased are the Jeep Grand Cherokee "Trailhawk II" concept and the Jeep Wrangler "Slim," and while we have no information on either, we at least get an idea of what they'll look like.
We can't tell why this Wrangler is called Slim, but it has a nice black-and-red paint scheme with a serious off-roading front bumper and five-spoke beadlock wheels. There's even less we can figure out about the Grand Cherokee's Trailhawk II concept except that it appears to be painted up in the same Crusher Orange paint job as the recently introduced SRT Viper TA. We'll likely more of these as well as peeks at the other Moab concepts as we get closet to this year's Moab Easter Jeep Safari, which will be held March 23 through 31.
