See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"This truck is in good driving condition for it's age but I will list the few things that are wrong with it:-Has typical dents and dings you would expect on an older off road vehicle.-Trim has been removed-Paint could use a good buff-Slight rust behind the rear wheels-Small tear in the drivers seat-Small chip in the windshield-Mirrors don't move with button, cruise control dosen't work. THose are the only two electrical problems I have noticed.-Hood ornament is missing."

For sale is my 1987 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. This vehicle isn't the prettiest Wagoneer out there, but it is reliable and in pretty good condition for the age of the vehicle. I've been driving this for a few weeks with my only complaint being the A/C needs a recharge. All electrics in the truck work except for the mirror controls and cruise control, all windows including the rear tailgate window roll down. The tires are new with less than 1,000 miles. The interior is in above average condition for the age with no cracks on the dash, the driver seat has a rip but all other seats are in good condition. The steering wheel leather is starting to deteriorate, so I will be providing a leatherette lace up repair kit that I bought but haven't installed yet. The rear view mirror adhesive came off so the mirror currently isn't attached, but is in fine condition. The Truck is set up to work with a Uniden car phone(how retro!) haha.


The body condition is solid, with small surface rust around the truck, the only serious rust I've noticed is behind the rear wheels. The frame is solid and not rusted out. I just had this truck checked out by a local mechanic who is familiar with older vehicles and I was in the shop with him so I got a good look at the undercarriage, it does leave a quarter size drop of oil on the ground, but that's it. He was surprised how little it leaked. While he was under the truck he greased all the zerts he could find.The truck doesn't smoke, it shifts fine and goes into 4x4 easily.  After a drive he said that I had a good old truck, and with your normal upkeep he said it would be a good reliable daily. I just drove 200 miles on the interstate at 70mph the whole way with no problems, the steering is straight and doesn't wobble at high speed. The only reason I'm selling is because I can't afford to put gas in it and I know that with a little work someone could have a really nice classic 4x4, so I'd rather see someone else enjoy it.

If anyone has any questions or wants more detailed pictures please just let me know! Thanks for looking

I require full payment through paypal no later than one week after the end of the auction, please contact me if that's a problem.
I will not deliver the vehicle, but I can hold it if shipping arrangements are made by the buyer. 
The truck is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to delete this post at any time.

Jeep Wrangler diesel likely after 2015 model refresh

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

We automotive journalists aren't always the right people to ask about whether a US-spec vehicle should or should not be offered with a diesel powertrain (hint: the answer is usually "YES"). But when it comes to the iconic, off-road-ready Jeep Wrangler, we aren't the only ones who have been clamoring for an oil-burning engine behind that famous seven-slat grille. To that end, it appears there's good news on the horizon, as Jeep CEO Mike Manley recently told Ward's Auto that the "Wrangler is on the radar to get (a) diesel."
"I'm confident that the Grand Cherokee will show just how large a demand there is for diesel, and I think what that will do is reinforce the need for us to target Wrangler as a vehicle that can take a diesel," Manley told Ward's. The most rugged of Jeeps is scheduled to get an overhaul around 2015-16, and the diesel powertrain will likely be introduced around that time.
This year alone, Chrysler will be adding a diesel engine to the Grand Cherokee SUV, as well as the Ram 1500 pickup and Promaster utility van.

Chrysler recalls small number of 2013-2014 cars and trucks over engine debris

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

Chrysler is recalling a small number cars over issues with their 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. The recall, which affects 522 examples of its 2013 Dodge Avenger and Chrysler 200 models, as well as 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot CUVs has to do with potential debris in the balance shaft bearings.
The abrasive stuff can cause the oil pressure to drop, which could lead to the engine stalling or outright failure. This situation could at best leave drivers stranded and at worst lead to a crash.
Chrysler will begin notifying owners, who will need to report in to have the balance shaft module replaced. All repairs are naturally free of charge. Scroll down for the bulletin from NHTSA.

Here's why you shouldn't try to drift a Jeep Cherokee

Tue, Nov 25 2014

This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. There are many reasons why an XJ-generation (or really any other) Jeep Cherokee doesn't make for a good drift machine. It's tall, it's four-wheel-drive... it's a Jeep, okay? But someone apparently forgot to tell that to this guy. Uploaded to LiveLeak, this video shows some poor schmuck who took his Cherokee to a (mostly) empty parking lot and tried to drift it. Needless to say, things didn't go quite as he planned, but they probably went exactly as you might have expected. Thankfully, nobody appears to have been hurt. Or at least, we assume so, since the guy apparently survived to put the video up online.
