1990 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Base Sport Utility 4-door 5.9l on 2040-cars
Neosho, Missouri, United States
This is a great place to start on a classic GW. I am selling this 1990 model "as is" for my father. The frame and body on this jeep are very solid and are nearly rust free. It would make a great total restoration project or a cool ride with just a quick engine swap. I will do my best to describe this vehicle accurately below. It was (barely) driven to where it is sitting this past September but is currently in NON RUNNING condition with the carb removed and in the cargo area.That is also when these pictures were taken but it hasn't moved since. It will have to be trailered to your location. The carb was flooding out, it has a bad rear main seal oil leak and a distinct rattle when running. A complete engine rebuild will be neccessary. The rear tail light wiring harness has been removed and is in a bag in the back floorboard. It was starting to fail in places and needs some TLC/ re-assembly. It is missing one AC hose, the aluminum trim from the extreme rear edge of the roof and one AC vent. The front grill has been squished on the passengers side by the headlight assembly. It originally had a rear wind deflector that has been removed. For some reason when you hook up the battery the buzzer that tells you the key is in the ignition when your door is open comes on and won't go off. The paint is oxidized, has surface rust on the hood and roof, and will need to be replaced. The fabric from the headliner was coming down and has been removed. The front seats are cracked and showing their age and there is a bare spot in the carpet in the back floorboard. Windshield is cracked. The drivers side rear tire has a slow air leak. With the exception of the above negative points, this Jeep has minimal surface rust and is a straight, very re-buildable project. I started rebuilding an 88 several years ago that was in much worse shape than this one. I wish I had waited a couple years for this as a starting place. I have a clear title in hand. |

Jeepster name may be used for Fiat-based baby Jeep
Tue, 17 Dec 2013In 1948, Willys-Overland, the forbearers of Jeep, built a vehicle called the Jeepster. It was a funky little thing, designed as a mix of the more rugged Jeeps that came before with what was then a modern car, which arguably makes it the world's first crossover. The name was later revived from 1966 to 1972, which means for Jeep enthusiasts, it has some history.
Now, the modern Jeep brand may revive the Jeepster name for a new product, likely based on Fiat bones, that will slot in at the bottom of the brand's range underneath the soon-to-depart Compass and Patriot. The report comes from Australia's Drive, which cites a dealer source that has seen the vehicle.
That same dealer confirmed there is a link between the Jeepster and the rumored Fiat 500X, and that the former will be available in both front and all-wheel-drive variants. The source also claims both gas and diesel engines will be available, although as this is an Aussie site, we shouldn't take that to mean we'll get a diesel Jeepster in the US.
Chrysler recalling over 200k vehicles across its brands
Wed, 10 Apr 2013With more than 200,000 units across six separate recalls and almost all of its brands, it appears that Chrysler has officially jumped headfirst into the recall pool this month. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued three official recalls for the automaker, and The Detroit News is reporting that the automaker itself has announced three more.
The biggest of the recalls applies to about 120,000 Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger and Chrysler 300 models for 2011 and 2012 due to faulty wiring harnesses for the seat-mounted side airbags, which could lead to these airbags not deploying in the event of a crash. A little more than 60,000 two-wheel-drive versions of the 2007-2008 Dodge Nitro and 2008 Jeep Liberty SUVs are being recalled due to a heat shield that could cause the driveshaft to break, which if that isn't bad on its own, could then hit underneath where the airbag sensor is mounted, causing the airbags to deploy. Wrapping up NHTSA's recall notices, about 20,000 Jeep Patriot and Jeep Compass models for 2012 are also being recalled due to a problem with the fuel tank transfer tube that could lead to the vehicle stalling. The LX car recall campaign is going into effect this month, while the other two will start next month - all three notices are posted below.
In addition to the official NHTSA recalls, The Detroit News is also reporting that Chrysler is recalling more than 16,000 Ram trucks and a small number of Dodge Dart sedans. Around 6,500 2013 Ram 1500 trucks will be recalled due to an improper adjustment of the parking brake cable from the factory, while 7,000 Cummins-powered 2013 Ram Heavy Duty trucks are being recalled due to an engine cover that does not have as much heat resistance as it is supposed to. Finally, a total of 46 Dodge Dart sedans are being recalled due to a problem with the brake calipers and/or parking brake.
Chrysler recalling 644k more Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs over brakes
Wed, 02 Apr 2014Early last month, we reported on Chrysler issuing a preemptive, proactive recall for about 25,000 units of the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango. The issue revolved around a brake system that wasn't causing any actual problems, but delivered an unsatisfactory brake feel, so Auburn Hills called in a good 25,000 of SUVs around the world, including 18,700 in the United States.
Now Chrysler, having apparently determined that the brake problem on its sport utes is actually much bigger than it initially realized, has drastically broadened the scope of the recall. As a result, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for precisely 655,354 examples of the Grand Cherokee and Durango, covering the 2011 through 2014 model years. In addition, Chrysler is recalling 42,380 units in Canada, 21,376 in Mexico and 159,685 overseas.
The problem which Chrysler found revolves around the brake booster, whose center shell has been found to be subject to corrosion, allowing water to get into the brake system. That water in turn could freeze, preventing the brakes from working as well as expected.
