Here's a project for someone who wants a basically unadulterated TJ.  I bought it a couple of years ago to play with; never used it as my regular vehicle.  It was kinda rough when I got it so I set to getting her into shape. I haven't used it now in about 6 months and honestly, I have lost interest in it and it needs to go. 


I've put a bunch of work into it over the past couple of years, and at one time several years ago the engine was replaced with a brand new Jasper unit - tag is under hood. Other work I've done for which I have receipts:
  • Oxygen sensor
  • FL turn signal socket
  • Transfer case switch (so the 4wd lights up)
  • New distributor
  • Rear brake shoes
  • Rear wheel cylinders
  • Brake cables
  • Crank sensor
  • Front U joints
  • Rear brake lines
  • Side mirror relocation kit (to drive w/o doors)
There's $2150 that made it mechanically perfect. Someone is gonna get a lot of Jeep for the buck, but it does need some love.  

What she needs is some body work. FL fender rough, R side fine - think it has been replaced. Floor pans up front are rusted out and I took the seats out and got a set of replacement pans, but that's where I stopped. I'll put the seats back in before it leaves. New galvanized pans come with the Jeep. Pics show the floor pans looking like Barney Rubble could stop it with his feet.  Back is solid. Doors are solid (not shown) and they have the glass sliding windows instead of plastic side curtains. The convertible top is all there - I just have it off and it did the usual shrinking and I don't want to mess with it and maybe tear it to put it back on. It will need replacing soon. No tears in upholstery.  Tires pretty beefy, though it needs a spare.  I also have all the carpets and back seat - just removed to do floor pan job.  I drove it all last summer with the top down. It's really a fun car.  

The thing I liked is that it wasn't adulterated by any changes to suspension. If that's your thing, here's one to start from scratch instead of dealing with someone else's backyard engineering.

Clear PA title in my name which we can transfer here or I can sign off and have notarized for you. I'll also provide a bill of sale if you like.  

I am being completely forthcoming here - no worries about hiding anything. WYSIWYG. If there's anything else I can tell you, just ask and I'll do my best to answer it. I've bought and sold vehicles via eBay before and have dealt with some shady sellers - I'm not trying to be that kinda guy!

I'd prefer to sell for cash; may take partial trade in titled Italian or Japanese scooters - no Chinese.  Whatcha got? Let's talk  $500 deposit via PayPal upon winning; balance in cash on pickup, or PayPal with 4% buyer's fee.  Car is located in east end of Pittsburgh. May be able to deliver locally with advance payment and arrangements, again, let's talk.

Chrysler recalling 644k more Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs over brakes

Wed, 02 Apr 2014

Early 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.

2014 Jeep Cherokee facing production delay

Fri, 17 May 2013

Jeep's bold-faced new direction spearheaded by the 2014 Cherokee is facing some teething issues. According to a report by the Detroit Free Press, production start-up of the controversial new utility vehicle at its Toledo North facility is running about a month behind schedule "due to a wide range of issues." That's according to Mark Chernoby, senior vice president of engineering at Chrysler.
Chernoby maintains that the issues being encountered aren't unusual for the launch of a new vehicle - particularly one with a new powertrain - and he downplayed the delay, telling Jeep dealers that they "will have ample inventory of the midsize SUV by fall." Among the kinks being worked out? Calibrating the Cherokee's cutting-edge ZF nine-speed automatic transmission and refining assembly line tasks to make the process more efficient.
Chrysler expects to start building retail-ready versions of the Cherokee around mid-June, with official sales slated to start in September.

Chrysler's Woodward Dream Cruise festivities include Ram concept truck debut

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

The streets will be crowded next weekend along Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak, Michigan for the 19th Annual Woodward Dream Cruise. As part of the run-up to the festivities, Chrysler has announced that all of its brands - Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Fiat, SRT and Mopar - will bring along their latest vehicles. Also included will be a collection of classic American cars and various activities for attendees at the official Chrysler location on the corner of Woodward and 13 Mile Road.
Special to this year, Ram brand director Bob Hegbloom and head of design John Dehner will unveil a Ram concept truck on Saturday. Chrysler will also bring Ryan Friedlinghaus of West Coast Customs fame along to show off a few custom Chrysler-made vehicles of his own. Fans of the brand on Facebook will get the chance to virtually customize a vehicle from the automaker's portfolio, with the winner getting their dream car built for them by Chrysler. Pretty cool stuff, no?
As in past years, Ford and General Motors will have an official presence at the event as well, and you can expect to see plenty of cars of all makes and models from all parts of the globe. The madness starts this Friday, August 16, from 4:30 PM to 10 PM, with the main event taking place on Saturday, from 9 AM to 9 PM. For more details on the show, including events and their times, check out the press release below.
