The following is the most accurate description breakdown of the Jeep:
Mechanical Operation/Function: 10/10
This thing performs wonders off road, with a fresh long arm suspension kit, it will out-articulate and out-crawl most other Jeeps. The engine runs extremely strong with plenty of low end torque. Engine doesn't knock, tick or consume oil, and gets routine oil changes at 3K miles. The axles were gone through this spring to ensure that the air lockers were operational and the internal components were safe and sound. Both lockers work and makes the truck extremely capable off road. Unlike other Jeeps, this thing drives tight with no loose front end parts, "death wobble" or choppy ride. The long arm kit not only provides optimal off road performance, but a better street ride as well.
Exterior Aesthetics: 6.5/10
Moving onto the exterior of the truck. Rust-wise, this thing is spotless, and is exactly what you would expect from a Montana truck. As far as the body is concerned, it is once again rust-free and structurally sound. There are some minor "bumps and bruises" from normal/off-road use, but nothing major. Minor rock chips, a couple dings here and there, and light scratches from branches and leaves are to be expected. While the Jeep may not win an award at your local car show, it cleans up and shines with little to no effort, and is a great dual purpose rig! Truck is equipped with a Genuine Mopar tan soft top that is in excellent shape and has no fading, rips or tears. The bumpers and rock sliders are considered "rock armor" and have been used. Expect some missing paint on the black armor parts and skid plates.
Interior Aesthetics: 8/10
Now onto the interior, grey in color. The dash is in excellent shape, and all the radio/heat/AC knobs and buttons work great. The ARB air locker switches are mounted in the center of the dash and are operable. There are no cracks or missing pieces to the dash. All gauges work as well as the steering wheel controls. The seats are in good shape for being 15 years old. Each front seat does have some cracking/separation in the vinyl right where your butt slides on/off. Aside from the typical "buttrub" on the edges, the seats are in great shape with no other rips, tears or holes. The carpet was removed so dirt/mud wouldn't sit and hold moisture or nasty smells. The floor boards are in excellent shape as well with no rust. The truck is equipped with a Tuffy full security console and the truck also has an aftermarket Sony head unit with USB and AUX inputs.

Keep in mind, this is $14,983 in parts ONLY! Just imagine what labor would run (I can). It's simply a great wheeling truck that is extremely capable and a fun daily driver. And with 113,xxx miles, the 4.0L is just breaking in. Also, after every single wheeling outing, the tires and wheels were removed, and the underside was pressure washed inside & out (Frame flush included). This truck has never been "ridden hard and put away wet," I have taken a great amount of pride in it and like my stuff looking its best.
Thanks

Chrysler recalls 468,700 Jeep Grand Cherokees, Commanders over rollaway risk
Mon, 13 May 2013Chrysler has issued a recall covering a combined 469,000 units of the 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the 2006-2010 Jeep Commander (inset). Of that number, 295,000 are in the US, roughly 33,000 in Canada and Mexico and the remainder in other markets. It seems an electrical fault in the transfer case can allow the affected SUVs to shift into neutral on their own, while an Associated Press report says that Chrysler had "found cracks in a circuit board that turns the four-wheel-drive system on and off." The issue was discovered when an owner started his car remotely and it rolled away.
Chrysler is expected to begin notifying owners in June 2013, who can then take their cars to dealers. The dealer will reflash the final drive controller free of charge. There's a bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below with more information.
YouTube tallies votes for this year's top five Super Bowl spots [w/video]
Tue, 19 Feb 2013When we asked you to tell us which of this year's 16 car-themed Super Bowl commercials you liked best, you chose the Farmer commercial from Chrysler Group, advertising the Ram trucks, over Audi's Prom commercial in second place. Turns out the voters in YouTube's Ad Blitz poll agreed, voting the same commercial to the number one spot from among the field commercials in every category.
From there, however, they went in a totally different direction. Budweiser's The Clydesdales spot came second, Samsung's The Next Big Thing took third. The Jeep Whole Again ad scored fourth in the YouTube poll, fifth in our poll of auto commercials, and the Hyundai Team spot got fifth from the YouTubers, but ninth in our poll.
The voting results don't match up with the viewing numbers, though - while Farmer has more than 13 million views, The Next Big Thing is well beyond 21 million. You can read the press release below and see all five spots, lined up for you, one more time.
Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
