I am selling my 1989 Jeep Wrangler, YJ which I have owned since 1990.  I purchased it from the original owner at 9,000 miles and used it as a daily driver throughout the 90's.  During the last decade or so, I have kept it garaged and only used it as a weekend recreational vehicle-especially without the top, for summertime activities s/a float trips, camping etc.  Although it looks like a rock climber, it has never been used off road except for gentle trips through my farm to check my cattle operation.  I have always assumed that I would never part with it, but life has given me a reason to change my mind.  My 22 year old daughter (who was born about the same time I bought the Jeep) and her husband are buying their first home.  I have elected to contribute the proceeds from the sale of this vehicle toward their down payment.  


A few years ago, I made several upgrades to the Wrangler, including a suspension lift, new Warn front bumper with 8,000# winch, new wheels/tires (which have now have about 10,000 miles on them) and rear bumper w/swing-out spare tire support rack.  At the same time, I had a fresh coat of exterior paint applied along with the black fender flares and running boards.   New front and rear seats were installed at this time also.  Since this time, the vehicle has been used as evidenced by the numerous dings, scratches and worn areas which have developed in the finish.  I have attempted to reveal these in the numerous photos.  You will also notice one pic of the rear seat demonstrating a partial thickness cut in the seat cover (see pic with iPhone and hand shown for perspective). This does not appear to affect the integrity of the fabric since it is not a full thickness defect.  Also notice the three shots of the paint crazing on the two front fenders.  
These have no evidence of rust, but appear to be defects of the paint only.  I painted the hardtop 10 or 12 years ago, and you can see from the pictures that the frequent removal and replacement has placed several scratches, nicks, and dings in this.  If I was keeping the Jeep, I would paint this again for a quick, low cost upgrade.  

Mechanically, the Jeep has no known problems.  It has always been a dependable auto that starts and runs smooth.  In preparation for the sale, I wanted to verify that there were no mechanical issues with the vehicle, so I brought it to my mechanic and told him to go through it and fix anything that needed repair.  He first performed a carburetor cleaning, but when this was done, I didn't feel it idled smooth so I took it back.  He ended up performing a Nutter bypass and put on a new carb.  I had read online that this would be a real power booster and I have to agree.  Just like promised by various websites, it now starts, runs, idles and accelerates better than ever.  Please note: the Nutter bypass might prove to be a problem with licensing in those states with strict emissions testing; please check your state's regulations on this before bidding or you might end up having to undo the bypass.  Everything else seems to be working fine except for the following two items: The Jeep has A/C, which is not currently cold. The last two or three years that I drove it with the top on required additional freon at the start of each summer season-then it always worked fine.  As I mentioned above, I have only used this Jeep without its top for the past few years, so I haven't had the need for A/C and didn't put any freon in for some time.  I have no reason to believe that it needs service beyond refrigerant, but I cannot be 100% positive-since I haven't tried this in 3-4 years.  The instrument panel gages all work appropriately except for the gas gage, which reads full-until half the tank is used, when it starts declining.  It reads 3/8 when the tank is empty.   

If you are looking for an attractive, low mileage, essentially original Jeep that is mechanically sound, you search is over; this is the one you've been shopping for.  When driving down the road, this beautiful Jeep will turn heads-especially with the top off.  On the other hand, if you are looking for a flawless vehicle or a perfect ground up restoration-this is not your car.  Although it is well above the norm for a 24 year old automobile, it is not perfect.  As my pictures have attempted to show, close scrutiny will reveal several imperfections.  I have greatly enjoyed this Wrangler and I cared for it like a member of my family.  Except for trips, it has never spent any nights outside of a garage.  I am sad to see it go, but I trust it will be an attractive/dependable automobile which will bring many years of pleasure to its new owner like it did for me.

This vehicle is also being advertised locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early.

Jeep Wrangler Polar is a tasty frozen treat

Wed, 11 Sep 2013

Perhaps it's because we've seen so many kitted-out examples over the years, but it seems to us that the Jeep Wrangler tends to wear its special-edition duds better than most models. It might be the icon's familiar rectilinear proportions or the inherent bolt-on look of its extremities - bumpers, mirrors, lighting, and step rails - but we've seen precious few factory specials that look anything but excellent.
Case in point: this new Jeep Wrangler Polar unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show. This European-market limited-edition model is said to be a celebration of winter driving, which evidently works out to a body-color hardtop, black-accent seven-slot grille, 18-inch gloss black wheels, Trac-Lok limited-slip differential and a hard hat for the spare tire. Finished here in Hydro Blue (Billet Silver Metallic and Bright White are also available) and a black interior with Polar White accents, the Polar edition features badges displaying 78° S and 106° E longitude and latitude coordinates for Vostok, Antarctica.
This new Jeep will be available in both standard and Unlimited formats with either the 3.6-liter Pentastar gas engine or the still-not-for-US 2.8-liter turbodiesel when it bows early next year. For further details, check out our gallery above and the press release below.

Autoblog's Mylencia Gillenwaters reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute.Wrangler to remain in Toledo but Cherokee is slated to leave. Autoblog's Mylencia Gillenwaters reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Jeep seems to be changing its production strategy. Wrangler to remain in Toledo but Cherokee is slated to leave. I'm Mylencia Gillenwaters and this is your Autoblog Minute. According to a report from the Automotive News production of the Jeep Cherokee will be moved to another state. To fill the void, Jeep might develop a pickup that would be built alongside Wrangler at the Toledo, Ohio plant. A Wrangler pickup is an exciting prospect [00:00:30] for Jeep fans ever since the Jeep Gladiator concept was first introduced in 2005. Jeep officials declined to comment on its production and future vehicle development plans. We will most likely get an official statement from the automaker when they wrap up negotiations with the UAW. Leave us a comment below. Would you buy a Wrangler pickup?

Jeep Wrangler Red Rock concept brings Moab to SEMA

Wed, Nov 4 2015

Among the concepts that FCA is showcasing at SEMA this year, the Jeep Wrangler Red Rock concept has been decked out with accessories from both the Mopar and Jeep catalogs. The concept is based on the existing Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon Hard Rock edition, but has been taken even further in for this show truck. It pays tribute to the Red Rock 4-Wheelers club and the Easter Jeep Safari it hosts every year in Moab, UT. The Red Rock concept rides on a 2-inch lift kit with 17-inch beadlock wheels shod with 35-inch all-terrain tires. It also has differential covers, a reinforced swing gate and wheel mount, a power winch, LED headlamps and fog lights, and an onboard CB radio. To help it crawl those rocks, it boasts electronic locking differentials, a Rock-Trac transfer case, and Dana 44 solid axles front and rear. Visually setting this concept apart are such special touches as a power-dome hood, red tow hooks front and rear, new rock rails, a color-keyed grille with low-gloss inserts, low-gloss bumpers, and of course the requisite special badging. Inside it's been done up in brown leather with silver accents and a special grab-handle plaque. This particular version will remain a showpiece only. So if you want to see it, you'll have to head to the show floor in Vegas this week. However Jeep is committed to undertaking a production run of 50 examples with many of the same special touches to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Easter Jeep Safari next year.
