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.

Gilles defends 2014 Jeep Cherokee design as "very contemporary"

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Following the forced-hand introduction of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, there has definitely been a mix of responses revolving around everything from its design to the return of the legendary nameplate. As evidence of this, just check out the 1,000+ comments in our article last week and some of the many opinions that were voiced. Following this not-too-warm reception, Ward's Auto had a chance to talk to Chrysler designer chief - and SRT president - Ralph Gilles, who shed a little more light on the styling direction of the new Cherokee.
Rather than looking to previous models for inspiration, Gilles says that the Cherokee has been designed to be more contemporary, with Mark Allen, head of Jeep design, adding that a main goal was to make sure the design still looks modern five years from now. Interestingly, Gilles does point out that one of the design elements incorporated on the new Cherokee that pays homage to past Jeeps is the sharply downward angle for the leading edge of the beltline, which he notes is meant to mimic the look of the old YJ and TJ Wrangler models fitted with half doors. Of course, the squared-off wheel openings - a signature Jeep cue - are still used.
This is probably a design that will need to be seen on the street in actual daylight to properly assess, but in the meantime, we'll bring you full images and impressions when the Cherokee debuts at next month's New York Auto Show.

2014 Jeep Cherokee musters 22 MPG city, 31 highway

Thu, 05 Sep 2013

Production and media drive delays included, there has been no lack of press surrounding the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. With the most recent delay reportedly due to powertrain calibrations, we've been waiting to see how the Cherokee's fuel economy looks against the highly competitive compact CUV segment. Thanks to the EPA, we now know the fuel economy figures for the newest member of the Jeep family.
Arguably, the Cherokee has the most modern powertrain in its class with an updated base engine, all-new V6 and all-new nine-speed automatic transmission, but its fuel economy figures are simply on par for the segment. Still nothing to scoff at, though. According to fueleconomy.gov, front-wheel-drive Cherokee models with the base four-cylinder mill will top out the lineup with 22 miles per gallon in the city and 31 mpg on the highway; opting for four-wheel drive with this engine drops the figures to 21 city and 28 highway. Get even crazier with the option list, and the new 3.2-liter Pentastar V6 will get you 19 mpg city and 28 mpg highway in two-wheel-drive form or 19 city and 27 highway for 4WD.
If you're wondering how that stacks up among compact CUVs, head on over to Automobile Magazine for a full fuel economy breakdown for the segment. The controversially styled crossover hits dealers this month, and we'll be driving it in just a couple of weeks.

Fiesta-sized Jeep coming in 2014

Wed, 03 Jul 2013

We've heard rumors before about a new, baby Jeep to slot below the new-for-2014 Cherokee (pictured) in the automaker's lineup. Now, Edmunds is reporting that the new crossover will arrive sometime in 2014, and will be about the same size as the Ford Fiesta. This currently unnamed vehicle will effectively replace both the Compass and Patriot in the Jeep lineup.
Speaking to Edmunds, Jeep CEO Mike Manley said that the new, small Jeep will be assembled in Italy and marketed globally beginning sometime next year. Manley did not provide many details on the new model, but did say that it will be 4.2-meters (165 inches) long. The Cherokee, by comparison, is 4.6-meters long (181 inches). Furthermore, Edmunds reports that while the new small Jeep will offer diesel power in other markets, there are no plans for an oil-burning version here in the US.
Many other automakers are exploring this smaller crossover segment here in the US. General Motors recently launched the Buick Encore, which is loosely based on the Chevrolet Sonic subcompact's platform. Ford has already launched its Fiesta-based EcoSport in other markets, and has reportedly been pondering the idea of offering it in the US, as well.
