For sale is a well equipped '97 TJ with a little shy of 140k mi. The Jeep is garage kept as I keep the soft top off, as it is only driven on sunny days without the chance of rain. There are half doors on it now but I have full steel doors with matching paint which are included. Also included are the spare tire with matching wheel which is not on the vehicle now, as seen in pic.
The engine is the famed 4.0L which is virtually bombproof when maintained. As such...the oil and K&N filter have been changed every 3K miles. I just had the Jeep shop in Chester Springs, PA replace the radiator with a updated stainless steel one. Also done were the water pump, thermostat and housing, valve cover gaskets, stainless steel brake lines, rear evap line, brake fluid, coolant temp sensor, brake master cylinder, serpantine belt, and new interstate battery.
I purchased this vehicle from a friend that works at Quadratec if all the extras look familiar. Every option has been done right as moreless everything has been updated from stock including a one-off custom roll bar, stereo, speakers and sub, seats and suspension. There are a ton of upgrades as the Jeep has been used in Quadratecs photo shoots.
While driving this past year, my son hit a deer and there were scratches to the ARB bumper which I did not repair but the WARN winch that is attached works perfectly. Because of the accident, I had the drivers side fender, hood, and grill re-sprayed and cleared in matching flame red. Also replaced were the Bushwacker fender flare, painted and cleared as well. Since you can't purchase only 1 flare that was scratched by the deer, I had to buy all 4. I replaced all but 1 of them because I had intentions of repairing some small rust on top of the passenger side front fender before it gets worse. It's not bad, but bothers me. I have the other flare if someone that purchases the Jeep wants to repair it since the flare should be taken off anyway and replaced with the new one.
As anyone knows Jeep, this vehicle could easily be driven as a daily driver if the commute was small, but driven long distances will kill you at the pump due to the lift and tire size. As for the tires...they will pass inspection which is up in September but they are getting close to needing replaced.
Included in the price are a safari top, new alternator, hawk brake pads, clutch kit, lights and bulbs, and many extras given to me from the gentleman I purchased the Jeep from. None of these need replaced......they are just extras. I also have an extra wheel I will include.
It kills me to have to sell the Jeep as I have taken extreme care of it and it's a phenominal "toy". Unfortunately due to a divorce and unseen attorney fees, the toys must go. My loss is someones gain as this Jeep is a head turner and will run for hundreds of thousands miles if well maintained. Anyone familiar with the 4.0L engine already knows this.
Paypal only please.
Feel free to call or email me any questions and I'll respond as soon as possible.

Watch this 650-hp Hennessey Jeep Grand Cherokee go from 0-60 in 3.9 seconds
Tue, 14 May 2013Hennessey Performance Engineering has created an HPE650 package for the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT fitted with the 6.4-liter Hemi engine. When it leaves the showroom floor it has 470 horsepower and gets from 0-60 miles per hour in 4.8 seconds. When it leaves Hennessey's garage floor after the upgrade it has 650 horsepower - 530 hp at the wheels, according to Hennessey - and gets to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds on its way to running the quarter-mile in 12.6 seconds.
There's more than just a Roots-type supercharger bolt-on, with ported cylinder heads and high-flow headers among the many changes made to the engine. You can watch this pre-2014 facelift silver model prove its spec sheet on the drag strip in the video below.
Toyota, Lexus dominate KBB's Best Resale Value Awards
Tue, 19 Nov 2013Toyota and Lexus stormed the 2014 Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Awards, winning a combined 18 categories including best brand and best luxury brand. This marks the third year in a row that both automakers have won the Brand and Luxury Brand resale value awards. In all, Toyota won 11 categories and Lexus won seven.
Honda made a good showing, as well, winning two segments (Accord Plug-In Hybrid and Civic Si) and putting one car on the top-10 Best Resale Value list (CR-V). Chevrolet did even better, winning two segments (with the V6 Camaro and the Corvette) and placing three cars on the top-10-overall list (again, the Camaro and Corvette, plus the Silverado 1500).
The other winners came from Jeep, Dodge, Infiniti, Subaru and Audi. To give you a clearer picture of the Toyota and Lexus domination, their 18 mentions represents more than half of the 34 awards (including the top-10-overall list).
Stellantis to offer electric versions of most of its European lineup by 2025
Thu, Apr 15 2021Newly merged automaker conglomerate Stellantis will offer electric versions of almost all of its European lineup by 2025, it said on Thursday, as the auto industry faces regulatory pushes in Europe and China to accelerate the shift to zero-emission cars. Formed in January by the merger of France's PSA and Italian-American group Fiat Chrysler, Stellantis is the world’s fourth largest carmaker with 14 brands including Opel, Jeep, Ram and Maserati, and like its peers faces an investor community keen for a road map to an electric lineup to rival Tesla . Speaking during Stellantis' first annual shareholders meeting, Chief Executive Carlos Tavares said that in 2021 the carmaker expects sales of electrified vehicles — that is, both plug-in hybrids and fully electric models — to more than triple to over 400,000 units in 2021. By 2025, electrified vehicles should make up 38% of European sales, a huge jump from the 14% of sales it expects in 2021. Tavares said by 2030 electric models should make up 70% of European sales and 35% of U.S. sales. He said Stellantis will use four electric platforms for passenger vehicles across its 14-brand empire — small, medium and large sizes for cars, and "frame" for high-margin SUVs and pickup trucks. Sweden's Volvo said this month its lineup would be fully electric by 2030, and Ford Motor Co said in February its lineup in Europe would be too. BMW has said at least 50% of its car sales should be fully-electric models by 2030. Sales of electric and plug-in hybrid cars in the European Union almost trebled to over 1 million vehicles last year, accounting for more than 10% of overall sales.
