Warranty: Vehicle does NOT have an existing warranty
Trim: Basic

Frame-off restoration completed in 2012.  Frame professionally sandblasted and painted.  Rebuilt both axles (Dana 44 rear and AMC 30 front).  New 3.53 gears, leaf springs and shocks.  New Jasper engine (@3000 miles on it now).  T 176  4 speed manual transmission.  1989 Wrangler tub, undercoated with Eastwood product and inside was Herculined.  Professional paint job on the outside.  Painless wiring kit.  All new gauges.  New gas tank, brakes, all stainless brake lines, fuel lines, even flexible brake lines are braided.  1" body lift, 1.5 inch shackle lift.  33" Pro Comp tires.  Vintage seats with "CJ" logo (pictured).  I used an HEI distributor, so no coil.  All accessories (PS pump, alternator, starter, radiator, power brake booster) brand new. Even lower steering column is new.  PSC hi performance steering box.  Clearly, no expense was spared.  Everything on this Jeep is either new or refurbished.  Odometer:  Before the restoration, the old Jeep had 126,000 miles.  I used the best odometer I had, which stated 16,901.  It now states 19,800 miles.  So I have put @3000 miles on it since completion. This is one of the cleanest Jeeps you'll find.  Not used off road, but she'd love to go :).  Only a few minor issues:  Gas gauge does not work.  Worked for awhile, then quit.  Small paint bubble on passenger's door (pictured), couple other nicks and scratches, nothing major.  $20,000 invested in this project, reserve price is much less than that.  If you're looking for a clean, tough CJ, look no further!

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.

Chrysler taking big risk snubbing NHTSA

Maker Insists Feds Overstate Risk Of Fires With Grand Cherokee, Liberty Models
It's not often that recall stories make it above the fold, in that old newspaper parlance, but when one shows up as the lead story on the network evening news programs, you know it's something big.
And so it is with Chrysler snubbing its nose at a request by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to recall 2.7 million Jeeps the feds insist are at risk of potentially catastrophic fuel tank fires in a rear-end collision.
