 This is a fun little Jeep.  It starts right up (brand new battery and tune up) and runs excellently.  It has free flow headers and  dual exhaust, so it seems to have more power than the original cast iron manifolds.  I have the original exhaust manifolds if you want them to bring it back to original.  This is an early 1970 model as it was built by Kaiser and not AMC.  It has the original Buick Dauntless 225 V-6 and it is dry - no oil leaks what-so-ever.  When I got it 6 years ago it was missing many parts which I found and put on.  Namely, the parking brake handle and cables, the horn button, and horn contacts wire.  The original turn signal didn't work so I bought another and with the two made one good turn signal that works.  The wiper motor wasn't working so I replaced it.  (I have the other wiper that is not in the picture).  No turn signals (lights, bulbs and lenses) were there so I got new ones and put them on.  There is no turn signal on the passenger's side rear as originally there was a spare tire mounted there.  I put on a new front bumper, new chrome headlight bezels, and other chrome pieces replaced - hood latches and strap buckles.  It had no side view mirror so I got the correct style mirror.  New switch knobs, new gauge cluster with all new gauges, new fuel tank sending unit so the gas gauge works.  The glove box door was missing so I found one and put it on.  The two front seats are new Bestop seats, although a mechanic put a cigarette burn in the seat of the driver's side.  I added front seat belts - the kind that stand up on their own, so you don't have to go reaching and fiddling for them.  I put on a new steering gearbox so the steering is tight.  Also shocks and a front steering stabilizer shock.  I also replaced the transfer case and the 4 wheel drive works fine as do the manual hub lockouts.  I replaced a brown bikini top with the black one that's on there now as it looks better.  I took pictures of some half doors I received when I bought the Jeep, and just hosed them down to clean them as I haven't used them, but they go with the Jeep.  I replaced the brake and clutch pedal pads, but left the original gas pedal as it still looks great.  This is one way you can tell it has such low mileage - the gas pedal has minimal wear...  I took pictures of wheel wells and the inside so you can see there is no rust out ( just some surface rust).  As you can see the green in the interior is the original color.  Some one painted it red and then the black.  I know it was painted red since who ever painted it black did a lousy job of prepping and now some paint is chipping off.  This is I would say the only bad feature.  I said it was rust free, but there is a little rust in the floor of the passenger side toolbox (under the seat you can see the lid), but it is not bad and still holds tools if you care to put any there.  I have a boot and the boot hold down for the stick shift but didn't find it in time for pictures.  It looks to have a 3 or 4 inch lift which was done before I got it, but that just makes it better and able to handle those big tires.  I added the "4 wheel drive" decal to the tailgate (as original) and have "Jeep" decals for the front doglegs where Jeep is stamped, but haven't put them on.  I even put a "necker's knob on to help steer as there is no power steering or for that matter, no power brakes, heater, air conditioner or radio.  This Jeep is from the day when guys with hairy chests bought them...

  Well, it's a very small vehicle and I wrote up a lot about it so I probably have covered it all, but if not, feel free to email with questions.  Needless to say, I have a lot more than the starting price in this Jeep, but I am going to let it go for what the market will bear.  I just used it all weekend for dragging logs off my property and it was a blast.

2014 Jeep Cherokee starting price set at $22,995*

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

Love it or hate it, the 2014 Cherokee is on its way to a Jeep showroom near you this fall. Today, Chrysler announced the different trim levels, features and pricing for its new compact utility with a starting price of $22,995 (*not including $995 for destination), which is $400 less than the 2012 Liberty it ostensibly replaces.
Available in four trim levels - Sport, Latitude, Limited and Trailhawk - the new Cherokee will come standard with Chrysler's 2.4-liter Tigershark inline four-cylinder engine with the upper three levels offering the option of the company's 3.2-liter Pentastar V6. The base Sport is your typical entry-level model, featuring equipment including manual cloth seats and black exterior mirrors and door handles, but it also has a five-inch Uconnect media center, LED taillights and 10 standard airbags. Stepping up from the Sport model, Latitude and Limited trims bring increasing levels of luxury starting at $24,495 and $27,995, respectively. All three of these trims are front-wheel drive in standard configuration and offer varying versions of Jeep's Active Drive four-wheel-drive system.
The range-topping $29,495 Cherokee Trailhawk (shown above) comes standard with four-wheel drive and numerous upgrades to earn Jeep's Trail Rated fender badge. These changes include a unique design that adds an off-road suspension with taller ride height giving more aggressive approach and departure angles, underbody skid plates, distinguishing exterior design elements and a seven-inch, reconfigurable instrument gauge cluster similar to what it found in high-trim Dodge Dart models. Scroll down for a full breakdown of the 2014 Cherokee pricing and trim levels, and let us know what you think of the model's pricing and equipment in Comments.

Chrysler highlights Mopar lineup for SEMA

Wed, 30 Oct 2013

SEMA is all about aftermarket parts, and in Auburn Hills that all comes down to one name: Mopar. After having previewed its lineup for this year's Vegas tuner expo earlier this month, Chrysler has now revealed what may not quite be its full dossier of modified show cars, but a good portion of them.
All told Mopar is preparing 20 vehicles for display at SEMA this year. Among them you'll find the Ram Sun Chaser, a 1500 Quad Cab show truck kitted out in two-tone orange and black paint, a roof rack for surfboards, onboard shower and convertible tailgate. The white Fiat 500L is called the Adventurer and is modified for a more rugged look that could hint at the upcoming crossover version. The Jeep Cherokee Trail Carver upgrades on the Trailhawk package with everything from roof basket to rock rails. To counterbalance the off-roaders, there's also a modified Chrysler 300S with a deep black paint job, special grille, Varvatos-edition wheels and more.
All four concepts details so far have Katzkin interiors as well, and there's also an unspecified Dodge Durango with a storm-trooper look in the gallery above. But for more details on what Mopar has installed on the Ram, 500L, Cherokee and 300, you'll want to delve into the press release below.
