Why am I selling? Bought it to restore and have not had the necessary time to fully restore.

Body and Paint:    All of the panels are rust free.  The paint is amazing for its age and still holds a very high shine and gloss.  The vinyl and trim haven't been replaced,The door jambs and sills even are in great condition are free of any wear marks.   The driver’s door jamb still retains the factory vehicle info decal with vin number and other vehicle information.

Trim and Chrome:  The exterior trim and chrome are all intact and original to the vehicle. All trim holds a nice high quality chrome shine and free of any pitting.

Engine and Transmission:   The engine is the original 360 V-8 that the Jeep was built with and holds good oil pressure and runs nice and cool. The engine compartment is all original with factory emission tag, data tag and factory markings still in place. The 4x4 switch operates properly as well as the 4x4 low.  This GW runs nice and smooth with a quiet ride.

Interior: The leather seats are in great condition. A new headliner is needed for sitting for several years. The carpet is the original deep shag and is in great condition with a few small wear areas. The door panels do not have any marks on them..  The dash, gauges, steering wheel, horn button, door handles, wood trim accents and balance of the interior are all in great original condition and have never been altered in any way. Stereo is a Sony AM/FM with CD player. I do not have the original radio..

Glass and Mirrors:   From what I have observed the glass is all original.  There aren’t any chips or stars in the windshield.   The side glass has had a minor tint applied because of its southern ownership history and I believe that aided in preserving the interior from sun fade and heat.  The rear power glass window in the tailgate does not operate correctly from either the dash mounted button or key function. This Jeep has the power mirror option for both drivers side and passenger side and they operated smooth and quiet.

Wheels and Tires:   All of the wheels are original and are in very nice condition.  The tires are new and have <1K on them.

Terms of Sale:   I am selling the Jeep “as is” because vehicles of this age are. If you have the opportunity to see and drive this GW before the auction period expires, then I invite you to do so to truly appreciate the originality and excellent condition of this vehicle.

Jeep hiring 1,000 part-time workers in Toledo on Wrangler, Cherokee demand

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

The new Jeep Cherokee has been quite a success for Chrysler, but its factory workers are getting tired. The automaker has agreed to hire up to 1,000 part-time, temporary employees at its Toledo Assembly Complex where the CUV and Wrangler are built. It will allow the company to keep Jeep production moving, while giving laborers a break.
According to plant manager Chuck Padden in the Toledo Blade, full-time workers are regularly taking on 60 hours a week, and it's beginning to wear on them. "To get them more time off is important to us, to make sure they're refreshed, and can work safely," said Padden.
Chrysler has already hired 380 temporary, part-time workers for the plant, and 50 have been converted to full-time employees. The company is in the process of interviewing the rest of the new hires now and plans to have all 1,000 in place by the summer. They will work between 10 and 30 hours a week mostly on weekends for $15.78 per hour with limited benefits. The temporary positions will last "as long as demand continues for the Jeep Wrangler and the Jeep Cherokee," said Jodi Tinson, Chrysler spokesperson for manufacturing and labor communications, to Autoblog in an email.

FCA recalls 570,000 SUVs from Jeep and Dodge over fire woes

Sun, Dec 27 2015

Fiat Chrysler US has issued two recalls covering a total of about 570,000 Jeep and Dodge models. The first concerns vanity mirror wiring in the Jeep Grand Cherokee from the 2011 and 2012 model years, and in Dodge Durango units built before September 12, 2012. The automaker recalled almost 900,000 units last year to repair the issue, then faced more issues this year when the fires continued in repaired vehicles. This new recall seeks to resolve the issue, FCA saying that the post-recall fires happened in a tiny percentage of vehicles equipped with a specific wiring package. This recall is for 352,831 total units in the US, another 26,478 in Canada, 13,037 in Mexico, and 84,330 internationally. No injuries or deaths have been reported. FCA says it will inform customers as to when they can schedule a service visit to remedy the issue. The second recall takes aim at 60,107 examples of the Jeep Compass and Patriot from the 2015 model year in the US, plus 5,755 in Canada, 3,351 in Mexico, and 23,995 in other markets. Those models could suffer from an out-of-position clamp on the power steering fluid line. The error could allow fluid to leak, increasing the risk of a fire if the fluid ends up on a hot surface. In the case of a complete loss of fluid, drivers will need to use a lot more effort to steer. The automaker reports no injuries or accidents, and will advise customers when to head to the dealer for service.
