This is an awesome Jeep. I have took this thing on a handful of trail rides (Utah, Tierra Del Sol, and locally twice) and what a capable vehicle! This jeep will go up anything!! Here are some of the things I really love about this Jeep and so will you!

- The new Pentastar V6. 285 HP! That is 83hp over the last year's motor. What a difference!

- New and Improved 5 speed automatic transmission. One extra gear than the last years Jeep with a lower first gear and closer ratio. This makes for much better drivability on and offroad. You definitly want to buy a 2012 or up Jeep for these two reasons. Its a whole new world.

- When I went on the Tierra Del Sol trail ride, it was a blast. All the jeeps I was following were older with their tops off. The drivers were having fun too but they were sweaty and had a nice layer of dirt covering themselves. I had the top on so I was in full AC, with my favorite music jamming. This makes trail rides so comfortable which is especially important if you plan on bringing the wife and/or kids. The older jeeps had to get a good run at many of the climbs to have momentum to offset their low power. Not this 2012. Plenty of power and traction to take it nice and slow. Stopping and starting on the steep with no problems. 

- I put 35" Toyo Open Countrys on this jeep. They have approx 10K miles on them. I chose 35s because that is the largest tire you can install and keep the drivetrain stock. This was very important to me for warranty reasons of course and also reliabilty. In my experience, OEM always bests aftermarket in the reliabilty dept. 

- To fit 35's, you need a lift. I chose the Teraflex 3" lift with their front lower arms and rear upper arms. This is a great riding lift and allows you to adjust the pinion angles. I also chose to upgrade to Fox shocks for their better ride.

- I installed a Warn Powerplant winch. This is the coolest winch out there and pricey too at $1700 bucks. It is cool because besides being a capable Warn winch, it also has a nice air compressor built right in. Very clean, very usable. If you want to do some real trail rides, you gotta be able to air up after you air down. Airing down increases your traction dramatically and also smooths out a very bumpy ride. 

- It has a very clean LoD front bumper. It allows the winch to be mounted low, out of the radiator air stream (no overheating) and looks cool doing it. It also allows for a better approach to rocks and stuff for the front tires.

- It has a synthetic winch rope. This is very nice for winching and takes considerable weight off the car. 

- It has customized Spider rock rails. These look cool, protect your jeep and are tucked up nice and high. I customized them by cuttin a new solid panel of aluminum that replaces the original panel with holes. I didnt want rocks and mud flying up through those holes and piling up above the rails. I think this is an improvement and you wont see rails like this on another jeep. 

- It has TeraFlex's new, HD hinged carrier which allows the rear door to support the extra weight of a 35" spare tire. This is an awesome product. It allows you to access you rear door directly without having to swing away a spare tire carrier first. Many of those spare tire carriers rattle and squeak too which is one of my pet peeves. 

- The white body with white top and fenders keeps the jeep cooler when it is sitting out on the trail with the motor off and is easier to keep clean. Those black tops and fenders start turning white after a while. I also chose the tan leather interior to keep the temp down and plus I think that color scheme looks the best. 

This is the perfect Jeep for trail rides and just enjoying summer with the top off. It has the freedom top which can be removed in parts. You can take it all off or just pop the two panels off over the fronts seats or my preference, remove the rear and leave the panels on over the driver and pass seats. The top is nice a quiet on the road and does not leak at all. 

I am selling this jeep because we are buying a new house and need to get my debt to income ratio down. I will likely buy another one just like this in a couple years after we get into the new place. Next time I will buy one used just like this to save some dough. 

This jeep did have the heads replaced at the dealership about 10K miles ago. This was a common problem with these Pentastars in the 2012 and this has been rectified and I do have the reciepts.

In the pics you will notice some small marks in the paint on the right rear fender. I just noticed them today and the look like they will buff out easily. I plan to have this done this coming week. You will also notice some dings and the inside of the rear door. They are small and I do not plan on fixing them since they are rarely seen. You may also notice some small white dots on the bumper and winch. I rubbed out a few of them with a litle elbow grease so they do come off. I will have these removed as well and the rusty winch leader allen bolts will be replaced. 

I do have a clean title in hand (borrowed some money to pay it off so the transaction would be easy)

Feel free to contact me for questions or to come and inspect and test drive before bidding. You wont be disapponted. I will get it on a lift within the next few days and add pics of the undercarriage to my Flickr account.

Update...

First of all, I forgot to mention some of the basics. This jeep runs perfect like you would expect from a 2012 with 20K miles and rides real nice. It tracks nice and straight and cruises on the freeway easily. The title is clean and it has never been in an accident of any kind. The oil has been changes religiously and I have the records for that. 

I have posted one pic of the underside on this listing and more pics on Flickr. It is nice and clean. No dents. There is also an updated pic of the bumper without the "dots". 

You may notice the tire support under the spare tire. This is a custom part I made a while back when I had the stock spare tire carrier. It isnt really needed now with the Terra Flex carrier but I left it on. I will probably remove this before it sells unless someone really wants it.

FCA plants skipping summer shutdown to keep up with demand

Thu, May 14 2015

Hopefully, some FCA US factory employees don't have big plans for the usual summer shutdown, because the automaker is keeping several plants running this year. Demand is so high that the company wants to keep models rolling off the assembly lines. Four FCA US assembly plants, all the engine factories, and some locations that build transmissions are staying open throughout the summer, according to the Detroit Free Press. Usually, these sites would see a two-week shutdown for the company to retool and perform repairs. This year, factories are staying open for FCA to support its strong sales. The lines that remaining humming through the summer show an inclination toward the automaker's popular SUV's and crossovers. They include the Jefferson North Assembly Plant in Michigan that builds the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango; Saltillo Van Assembly in Mexico that constructs the Ram ProMaster; Toledo Assembly Complex in Ohio that produces the Cherokee and Wrangler; and Toluca Assembly in Mexico that makes the Dodge Journey and Fiat 500.

Stellantis will give its brands 10 years to prove they deserve to live

Thu, May 13 2021

Formed by the merger of PSA Peugeot-Citroen and Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles, Stellantis has 14 brands under its roof, a number that makes it one of the largest groups in the industry. Rumors claimed not every brand would survive, with Chrysler often earmarked to get axed, but the firm said it will give them all a chance to shine. "We're giving each (brand) a chance, giving each a time window of 10 years and giving funding for 10 years to do a core model strategy. The CEOs need to be clear in brand promise, customers, targets, and brand communications," announced Stellantis boss Carlos Tavares during the Financial Times' Future of the Car event. His comments confirm Chrysler fans and dealers don't need to worry about the future — at least not yet. And, against all odds, Lancia enthusiasts can breathe a sigh of relief, too. Former FCA head Sergio Marchionne warned of the brand's demise on several occasions. Alfa Romeo is safe for now, too, as is Vauxhall, which are basically just Opels sold in the United Kingdom with a different badge. The engagement made by Tavares also means Stellantis won't divest any of its brands to raise capital until at least 2031. It's now up to each executive team to make a case for the brand they run, an unusual survival-of-the-fittest strategy in an era when cutting costs is more common than spending cash. Diving into the vast Stellantis parts bin should help even the most troubled brands turn their fortunes around on a relatively tight budget. It seems likely that survive Chrysler will need to look beyond the 300 and the Pacifica/Voyager, the only models in its range, and completely reinvent its image, which is currently nebulous at best. Lancia, once the champion of luxury, performance, and innovation, faces the same challenge. It's not starting quite from scratch, it's relatively popular in its home country of Italy, but it will need to think globally and expand outside of the city car segment to survive.

Chrysler Recalls 350K Vehicles To Fix Ignition Switches

Thu, Sep 25 2014

Chrysler is recalling nearly 350,000 cars and SUVs to fix ignition switches that could unexpectedly shut off the engines. The recall covers 2008 Jeep Commander and Grand Cherokee SUVs, Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger sedans, and Dodge Magnum wagons. All were built before May 12, 2008. Chrysler says the ignitions may not fully return to the "on" position after being started. The switches could move to "accessory" or "off." That could shut off the engine and knock out power-assisted steering and other features. Chrysler knows of one crash and no injuries from the problem. It's telling people to use the key alone in the ignition and confirm that switches have returned to "on" after starting their cars. Chrysler is investigating the cause. Customers will be notified when repairs are ready. Related Gallery The Trucks And SUVs Consumers Are Liking Most View 11 Photos
