Eagle Bridge, New York, United States

Up for auction, my 1978 Jeep Cherokee S (basically a Chief without the sticker and paint on the bottom) 2 door widetrack with 65,000 original miles! Jeep was from Las Vegas NV last year. 360 2 barrel, turbo 400 automatic, quadratrac full time 4wd with original Dana widetrack axles. Other than a little rust on the rear fender flares it's genuine Rust free and I believe all original paint. Body itself is great and solid as can be. Excellent frame and floors. Very nice chrome, manual rear window that works good. Tilt steering, cruise control and AC. Last 2 were not working if I recall, been in storage since fall. I did a tune up putting in new plugs, MSD wires, cap and rotor, and did a compression test while I was there which showed 150psi across the board. Previous owner changed the carb but I have the original. Other than that this is an all original unmolested Jeep. Runs good, drives solid too but needs tires. I have driven it locally a bunch but nothing long distance. It spent it's life in Oregon and Vegas before me so it's clean and dry. Still has the original exhaust system! Don't see that too often. Power steering and power disc brakes that work good. Front end seems tight enough for an old Jeep. Paint and stripes are thin but it still shines. A truly remarkable survivor Cherokee, not many left this clean. I was going to lift it and put some aftermarket wheel/tires on it but have enough projects. It's also so original I was having a hard time doing it. Also has a stout pushbar on the front, not sure if it's a genuine Jeep accessory or what but I was surprised at how sturdy it is. Original wheels, nice glass, trans shifts good, no smoke. Other a few cracks in the seats the interior is pretty nice. Any questions just ask. Please bid to own and don't waste your time or mine, I appreciate it. Will gladly help you arrange shipping but buyer responsible for cost and getting it gone. For sale locally as well so auction may end anytime until reserve is met. You can call me at 518-281-605eight or email through ebay. I have sold a few cars on ebay and other than one guy being upset about a non working e-brake on a 1953 (which I took care of NEXT DAY) I think everyone has been happy and found my description to be honest.I'm easy to deal with so call if your serious. Thanks for looking!

Jeep Cherokee won't get diesel until sales of oil-burning Grand Cherokee improve

Tue, 01 Jul 2014

Okay Jeep fans, you want more diesel options? Time to step up and prove it. The only way Jeep will offer a diesel powerplant in the Cherokee, according to brand head Mike Manley, is if sales of the Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel nearly double.
Currently, about eight percent of the Grand Cherokees sold feature the 3.0-liter, EcoDiesel V6. That's simply not enough to warrant the bringing an oil-burning Cherokee to the US market, despite the vehicle's presence in Europe, where it's sold with a 2.8-liter diesel V6.
"Cherokee is slightly different because of its weight and size. When I think about bringing Cherokee diesel here, I would like to see Grand Cherokee diesel get much higher than eight percent," Manley told Automotive News. "It would have to be in mid-double digits."

Jeep Twitter account hacked, bad language, poor grammar and some hilarity ensue

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

Just a day after Burger King's Twitter account was compromised by "unauthorized users," Jeep's social media feed has been similarly hacked. Both instances of digital incursion share some similarities - the BK hackers changed the company's logo for McDonald's familiar golden arches, saying a sale had occurred, while the Jeep miscreants have replaced Jeep's branding with that of General Motors property Cadillac.
The resulting tweets from the damaged Jeep account have been a pretty brutal, to put it bluntly. Most of the content coming from the hacked account is unpublishable here, using language that is peppered with racial epithets, and poorly worded "shout outs."
In addition to the defamatory tweets themselves, the hackers have significantly altered the layout of the page. Jeep's header image now features a picture of the Cadillac ATS to go along with the Wreath and Crest, some language calling out that car as winning the 2013 North American Car of the Year award, and this gem: "The official Twitter handle for the Jeep(R) - Just Empty Every Pocket, Sold To Cadillac =[" Also, perhaps in an ode to yesterday's Burger King heist, the background image for the page now features a McDonald's-themed donk. The devil's in the details, we guess.

Fiat-based baby Jeep spotted testing in US and Europe

Thu, 03 Oct 2013

Details remain scarce, but our spy photographers have managed to capture the upcoming Jeep B-segment crossover for the first time, testing in both the Alps and in the US. Shown here as a cobbled-together Fiat 500L mule, the new Jeep model is expected to arrive for the 2015 model year and act as a replacement for the current Compass and Patriot models.
According to our shooter, the new "baby Jeep" will share a platform with the Fiat 500X, and both models will be built on the same assembly line in Turin, Italy. We can't tell much from these images, but the added length apparent on this 500L mule would seem to dispel the recent speculation that the new entry-level Jeep model would be sized closer to the Ford Fiesta - since the 500L is already considerably larger than the Fiesta. Powertrain options will likely mirror other Fiat/Chrysler collaborative vehicles like the Dodge Dart, but this Jeep will also try to live up to its off-road roots with an optional all-wheel-drive system.
