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.

Toledo continues fight for Jeep Wrangler production, despite mayor's death

Thu, Feb 19 2015

Where will the next-generation Jeep Wrangler be built? That's an open question, but it's one that the city of Toledo, OH desperately wants to be the answer to. The city suffered a major blow, though, with the death of Mayor Michael Collins earlier this month. Collins had been the city's biggest champion during talks with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, before suffering a fatal heart attack on Feb. 6. But Collins' tragic death isn't dampening the city's desire to carry on as the home of the Wrangler. "The mayor's passing is tragic. But on Monday, when I came to work, I knew exactly what I needed to do and exactly what needed to be done," the city's director of development, Matt Sapara, told the Detroit Free Press. According to the Freep, Sapara said Toledo and the state of Ohio have delivered an outline of a development plan that would give FCA the ability to buy an extra 100 acres to expand the factory. This is to help accommodate FCA's targeted output of 300,000 to 350,000 next-generation Wranglers, up from the 240,000 the factory can make now. "Our target in the proposal is to provide a way to increase the production capacity to a number that allows Fiat Chrysler to meet its business model," Sapara told the Freep, adding that the land could be available later this summer. FCA, meanwhile, has shown a somewhat ambivalent attitude towards Toledo production, with CEO Sergio Marchionne openly discussing the pros and cons of continuing to build the Wrangler south of the Michigan border. "We are going to take a very hard look at this without ignoring what these guys have done," Marchionne told the Free Press at last month's Detroit Auto Show, adding that he'd like to keep production there, provided the cost of retooling is comparable to relocating to another facility.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee gets surprisingly comprehensive update, new diesel power

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

Traditionally, automotive journalists can be heard muttering something to the effect of "Geeze, it's about time!" whenever a vehicle's midcycle refresh is revealed. As we routinely see and drive new models many months before the public even claps eyes on them in showrooms - and then go on to tweeze apart their minutia in our daily writings - perhaps some impatience is to be expected. With so much exposure to a given vehicle, it's fair to say we tire of most cars and trucks far more quickly than the average consumer.
The alterations are handsome, if not subtle touches from the "If It Ain't Broke" school of design.
Which is why we're pleased to say "Oh, is it time for that already?" when it comes to the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The current WK2 Grand Cherokee hit the market in 2011 and climbed its way into our hearts with its rugged good looks, go-anywhere capability and surprising refinement. We're not yet tired of its appearance or performance, but even so, we're very glad to see Chrysler giving its flagship Jeep some attention, including a much-anticipated diesel powertrain option and some other economy-minded measures.

Refreshed Chrysler 300 SRT won't be sold in NA

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

It looks like it might be time to bid farewell to the V8 rumble from the Chrysler 300 SRT - at least if you live in North America. The reported change comes as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles reshuffles its ranks with the Dodge brand, re-absorbing SRT and building its muscular reputation with the Challenger and Charger Hellcat models. Meanwhile, Chrysler is taking a more mainstream approach, and that likely means the end of overt high-performance models from the division for now.
According to Automotive News, the 300 SRT will be discontinued in the US for 2015, but it won't be totally dead. Some right-hand drive markets will still get the brawny V8 sedan next year, a distinction that goes a long way toward explaining some spy shots we've seen recently.
The 300 SRT's North American demise probably shouldn't come as a total shock. In FCA's five-year plan, it says that the 300 is destined for a refresh to be unveiled later this year, presumably at the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show. There's no mention of the SRT model in the document, though, which seems to signal its end.
