 I've owned this Jeep for nearly 10 years and HATE to get rid of it.  Bought it on eBay in Washington DC and returning full circle to eBay to sell.  Kids are getting big and keeping me busy and I just don't have time to drive it anymore, perhaps only a few times last year. 
I'm not a car dealer but will describe it as best as I can - Please ask questions.

It starts and runs STRONG (Note: It does not get the same fuel efficiency as a 'Smart Car' - And unlike those goofy 'plug-in electric cars' it likes GAS, a lot)
It has always had a few strange electronic issues that I've never bothered to fix - both dash-lights blink when the signal is on, and the fuel gauge occasionally does not register - So I always fill it up so as not to run out of gas. The rear lift gate window literally just stopped working and one of the back windows is stuck.  Otherwise, the driver and passenger side windows operate smoothly, all electronics function, new after-market CD radio, Air blows strong.  Carpets are original and in decent shape however the drivers seat has cracks (see photo).  It will need a new head-liner.  The outside shows wear - There is some oxidation on the hood (see photo) and there are pockets of rust on the rockers that I've patched (but should be addressed) and rust on the under-carriage.

Parts I've replaced in the last 10k miles: 
It has great tires (only 2k miles on them)
Rebuilt carburetor
Rebuilt exhaust
Radiator
Water pump
Starter

It passed its last NJ State Inspection but I've since taken it off the road.  Essentially start it every other day to keep the engine parts moving.

I will miss this Jeep - It's served me well and my kids love it too. I hope whoever purchases it will enjoy it as much as we have..

Thanks for looking and please ask questions.
Chris

The fascinating history of the Popemobile

Tue, Sep 22 2015

Pope Francis will be arriving today in the US for a variety of stops, including the World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia, PA. While here, the Pontiff won't be riding in the usual Mercedes-Benz Popemobile, but instead will make a more American switch to a modified Jeep Wrangler, according to the Washington Post. It'll feature a protected front, top, and rear, but the sides will be open for His Holiness to see the throngs of people gathering for him. For hundreds of years, Popes were transported in horse-drawn carriages or sometimes carried in an enclosed chair by footmen, but His Holiness finally traded for some real horsepower in 1929. While his ride sometimes varied depending on the country being visited, a Mercedes-Benz was generally the common choice. However, the Pontiffs have ridden in everything from a modified GMC Sierra to a Ferrari Mondial over the past few decades. Pope Francis has definitely preferred more plebeian transportation, though, including a Renault 4 running on biofuel. A trip to South Korea even put him in a Kia Soul, and he opted for an Isuzu D-Max in the Philippines. The Post's whole list is quite a fun read, and it's fascinating to see how the Popemobiles evolve over time. Related Video:

2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4X4

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Ice skates are spectacular on frozen water, yet they are dreadful everyday footwear. I consider the Jeep Wrangler equally as specialized.
I recently spent a week with a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4X4. Introduced for the 2007 model year, the Wrangler Unlimited is a standard JK two-door with 20.6 inches added to its wheelbase and two additional doors bolted to its passenger compartment. While Jeep offers the Unlimited in seven different trim levels, the desirable Rubicon is the most capable when the pavement ends, as it boasts a slew of hardcore off-road tools including front and rear electronic locking differentials and a front sway bar that can be disengaged at the touch of a button for improved articulation. My I-Look-Like-A-Traffic-Cone test model started with a base price of $34,095 (plus $995 destination). Options including a five-speed automatic transmission, Uconnect, tow package and a premium soft top, drove the bottom line up to $38,630.

Jeep CEO promises Grand Cherokee Hellcat 'before the end of 2017' [UPDATE]

Tue, Jan 12 2016

UPDATE: Video of Mike Manley confirming the Grand Cherokee SRT Hellcat has been added. In one of the worst kept secrets in the auto industry, Jeep has confirmed that the Grand Cherokee SRT Hellcat is coming. The news comes from Vvuzz, which has Jeep CEO Mike Manley on camera confirming the monstrous SUV. Manley confirmed that the Jeep, which we hope will offer the same 707-horsepower version of Chrysler's 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 as the Dodge Challenger and Charger, will arrive before the end of 2017. This, friends, is grand news. By the time the Grand Cherokee Hellcat arrives, it'll be faced with an array of high-performance challengers from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover, and Porsche. But, if things stay the way they are with the competition and SRT engineers can bring the Hellcat engine's full output to bear on an all-wheel-drive platform, the Grand Cherokee will have a power advantage ranging from 130 to 157 hp. It's one thing to best the competition by a dozen horsepower, it's entirely different to outgun them by an entire Toyota Corolla. Expect much more on the Grand Cherokee SRT Hellcat in the coming months. Scroll on to see Manley confirm the news. This content is hosted by a third party.
