1988 Jeep Wrangler Yj on 2040-cars

Year:1988 Mileage:131999
Location:

1988 Jeep yj wrangler    4cylinder that is great on gas  engine does not smoke or use oil.   5 speed transmission     driven almost daily  but should get some all around TLC.  body not bad for being an 88.    frame is in good shape, had rust issue at passenger side rear shackle (very common on jeeps, so common they sell a repair section to fix it, which was already done by a professional welding shop last fall)     31" tires factory jeep aluminum wheels    4x4 works but needs u-joints  I never use the 4x4 aside from getting up the driveway in the snow.  although I do drive this year round I don't drive it in the snow I have other vehicles for snow. this is more a summer cruiser for me.  in spring the top goes down and usually doesn't go back up till fall   just a fun little buggy to bounce around in topless in the summer.   

Driver seat is in tuff shape,  e brake pedal doesn't work ,   drives fine in 2wd but in 4wd you can tell it needs u-joints,  speedo doesn't work so true mileage is unknown and was when I bought it as well.   some of the recent items I did include   frame repaired, steering column bushings, tail lights  black soft top (not the gray one pictured), black 1/2 door uppers, new starter, new battery, tailpipe,  glass pack muffler (loud, maybe too loud for some)  brake line,  leather steering wheel (used)   This is an old style jeep, it is not like the new ones at all. nor does it ride like a new one, more like driving a go cart .   this is a good jeep for some one that wants to invest some time into it,One nice thing is the availability of parts new and used is no only endless but also the most affordable vehicle to buy parts for ive ever had.  for me its just a little run-a-round buggy. I have too many other projects  and not enough time or room to dedicate to this jeep.   

Come check it out in person   I will post more pictures on Tuesday.  if it sells an immediate deposit of $200.00 will be required threw paypal with the balance due within 7 days. if the deposit is not received within the first 36 hours or the jeep not paid in full by the 7 day period it will be considered a "dead deal" and deposit will not be refunded.  so if you bid please make sure you have the means to complete the deal.  once the jeep is paid for in full if you need to leave it here waiting for transporter or if you cant get here right away to pick it up  I can store it here no problem, just let me know what you need.  ****please be aware  the state of Rhode Island will NOT issue a title for vehicles this old so it will be sold on a bill of sale and a copy of my current registration.  that should be all you need to register it in other states.

Chrysler's Jefferson North plant builds 5-millionth SUV [w/video]

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

Chrysler's Jefferson North Assembly Plant opened in 1992 for production of the first Jeep Grand Cherokee, but in the subsequent years, the Detroit plant has gone on to produce some of the company's biggest SUVs including the Jeep Commander and Dodge Durango. Earlier this week, the plant produced its five-millionth SUV, which, fittingly, was a Grand Cherokee.
Celebrating the plant's five-millionth unit, the silver 2014 Grand Cherokee was promptly donated to the USO. In addition to this milestone SUV, Chrysler also had a near-perfect 1993-95 ZJ Grand Cherokee on hand for the photo op. Scroll down for the Chrysler press release as well as a video showing some of the speeches from the celebration.

Watch this Jeep Willys return to its birthplace after 70 years

Sun, 23 Jun 2013

Earlier this month, a very significant Jeep was celebrated at the Toledo North Assembly plant. No, it wasn't the upcoming reincarnation of the Jeep Cherokee, but instead it was a 1943 Willys MB that visited the Toledo grounds where it had been built exactly 70 years ago to the day.
Of course, the actual building where the MBs rolled off the assembly line before heading to Europe for World War II no longer exists, but that didn't stop Italian owner Vittorio Argento from having the vehicle shipped to the US to make its trek back to its birth place. According to Chrysler, Argento's MB is still 95-percent original and it drove 1,000 miles from New Jersey to Toledo.
The whole adventure was chronicled on a blog aptly named A Jeep Comes Home. Scroll down for a brief video from Chrysler and for some photos of the Toledo visit and be sure to read more at Argento's blog.

Chrysler banks $507 million in Q2, trims 2013 earnings forecast

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

Chrysler has some good news and some bad news. First, profits were up 16 percent over the second quarter of 2012, bringing the Auburn Hills, Michigan-based manufacturer $507 million on the back of strong demand for trucks and SUVs (a recurring theme this quarter, particularly in the US). Q2 revenue was up as well, from $16.8 billion in 2012 to $18 billion in 2013. The bad news is that the Pentastar's overall earnings forecast for net income in 2013 has been trimmed from $2.2 billion to between $1.7 and $2.2 billion, according to Automotive News.
In addition to the adjusted net income forecast, Chrysler tweaked its operating profit from $3.8 billion to between $3.3 and $3.8 billion. This has gone largely unexplained by Chrysler, perhaps hoping the news of a three-percent increase in its transaction prices for Q2 will allow it to sweep this adjustment under the rug.
The star of the show for Chrysler has been its US sales, which saw a 10-percent jump, both bettering the industry average of eight percent and improving over the same stretch of 2012. As with the increase in transaction prices, Chrysler has the new Ram pickup and Jeep Grand Cherokee to thank. Perhaps most worrying from this report, though, is that every brand in the automaker's stable saw an increase in sales... except for the Chrysler brand itself.
