1990 Jeep Wrangler w/hard top. 2.5L 5 speed. Runs good.

Exterior: Body was completely redone in Summer of 2013. Included rust removal (sandblasting & cut out). Body was sanded to bare metal and repainted. Gravel/chip guard applied to bottom areas and front grill & windshield. New doors were purchased, painted. New hard top painted inside & out. New side step bars. New hardtop latch handle. New wiper arms. New fender flares. New wheel center caps, new lifetime warranty lug nuts (McGard). New rear frame crossmember/bumper. Undercarriage scraped free of mud & painted. New hood catches & hinges. New door hinges. New windshield hinges. New mirror relocation kit installed. New exterior mirrors.  I don't have a spare tire for it.  I took the tire carrier off, but I still have it.

Interior: New neoprene seat covers on front & rear. Dash repainted black. New locking center console. New locking glove box. New door pull handles, window cranks. Replaced inner & outer shifter boots. Interior floor pan repainted/coated with gravel guard (3M). New weatherstripping all around.

Mechanical: New rear shocks. . Tires are in good condition, rear are about 75% tread, front about 50%. New radiator, new distributor cap & rotor. Chassis is a 1990 with about 195,000 miles. Engine is from a 1992 Wrangler & has approximately 133,000 miles on it.  New steering shaft (from steering wheel to steering box). New transfer case chain installed.

I bought this for my teenage son, but he doesn't think it's cool enough.  As the description above says, I've done quite a bit of work to it to get into good working order and make it visually appealing...at least in my opinion.  It passed Maryland inspection in the Fall of 2013, so all mechanical & safety components are in good working order. 

The vehicle is 24 years old, so it's a little quirky.  Takes some time to warm up and run smoothly, so you can't just jump in & go during cold weather.  The high beam switch is broken, I replaced it, but the aftermarket junk broke already.  The lift kit makes it a little more difficult to drive, so two-handed driving is always a good idea at highway speeds.  It is only a 2.5L 4 cylinder, so don't expect to do any street racing with it.  A safe top speed is about 70 mph...and that's exactly why I got my son a Jeep...boys will be boys.

I've only owned this for about 7 months, so I can tell you my experiences with it.  CarFax does show an accident several years ago, but it appears to have been only a minor fender bender.  The driver side front fender had been damaged.  I did the bodywork on it, so you can't even tell it now.  

Please feel free to ask questions if you're interested.

2015 Jeep Renegade

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

It's no secret that the midsize crossover segment is one of the most hotly contested battlegrounds in the automotive industry. Long have vehicles like the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 duked it out for those ever illusive consumer dollars. For many customers, though, even something like a Nissan Rogue is too big, whether in terms of price, fuel economy or just plain size.
For those customers, a growing market segment seems poised to fulfill their needs. Compact crossovers and tall wagons like the Nissan Juke and Kia Soul offer the high-riding driving experience with all the utility that comes from their two-box layout. It's an underrepresented segment among manufacturers, with big names like Toyota, Ford, General Motors and Honda lacking a true competitor.
To capitalize on this growing class, Chrysler's Jeep brand has readied this: the Renegade. That's right. Not Jeepster - Renegade. This diminutive off-roader, which rides on Fiat Chrysler's new small-wide 4x4 architecture, represents Jeep's first foray into the subcompact CUV segment as we know it, and it's making its official debut this week, on the floor of the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. Join us as we take a close look at one of Jeep's most important products in some time.

Watch this 840-hp Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 walk away from GT-Rs and M3s

Thu, Dec 11 2014

This last-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 does things that SUVs just shouldn't be able to do, like win drag races against tuned Nissan GT-R and BMW M3 coupes. Granted, the owner isn't coming into this fight with a stock Jeep – far from it. In addition to twin turbos whistling away, he says the engine is a 449-cubic-inch V8, which is nearly 7.4 liters of displacement. As it runs here, the driver claims that the turbos are pumping out around 14 psi of boost to give an estimated 840 horsepower. What's more, he further maintains the powertrain could reach around 1,200 hp with things fully cranked up. Even somewhat dialed back, this Jeep is ready to take on a breadth of formidable challengers, including a couple of Chevrolet Corvette models and a Lamborghini Aventador. Check out the video to see how this menacing Grand Cherokee fares in a day at the races.

Buyers ditching expensive European sedans to buy expensive American trucks

Mon, Feb 19 2018

The New York Times ended the automotive week with a story that adds numbers and context to a range of other stories, from the crossover craze to the increasing median price of a new car to ever more grandiose pickup trucks. The NYT piece reveals that the shift to larger vehicles isn't merely about the average U.S. buyer swapping the midsize sedan for a Ford Edge. Luxury buyers are migrating from plush sedans to plush SUVs and trucks that creep close to six-figure prices, and the Detroit Three are running Treasury presses because of it. From 2013 to 2017, the truck category — everything from pickups to minivans — climbed from 30 percent of the market to 41 percent. In January of this year, trucks claimed 66 percent of new vehicle sales. At the milk-and-honey end of profits, GMC alone accounted for 11.3 percent of all vehicle sales over $60,000, not just trucks. That puts the luxury truck maker behind Mercedes-Benz and Ford, The Blue Oval's feasting on Lariat, King Ranch and Raptor versions of the F-150, which make up more than half of that pickup's sales, putting it ahead of Chevrolet, Porsche and Lexus on the high-dollar sales list. The average transaction price of a GMC in Denali trim last year was $56,000; it's easy to see why, when one dealer told the NYT he just swapped a 2012 BMW 550i for a $71,000 GMC Sierra Denali. That truck starts at $52,900. The NYT started its story with a buyer who took home a Ford Raptor instead of an Audi A6, and optioned that $50,020 Ford Raptor close to $80,000. Over at Lincoln, the new $72,055 Navigator — the one so popular that Ford will increase production — crossed hands for an average sale price of $77,000 in January. And a Jeep dealer told the NYT that the two $93,000 Trackhawks he had on his lot "won't be here more than a few weeks." While trucks head up in sales volume and price, cars are headed so viciously in the opposite direction that "the Detroit Three and even some foreign manufacturers acknowledge they are now losing money on many of the cars they sell." So ... get ready for a lot more crossovers and trucks. Related Video: Find out what vehicle is right for you. Give our Car Finder tool a try.
