For Sale 1989 Jeep Cherokee. This was going to be a restoration project/beach buggie project that has fallen through. The body and frame are solid, with out any major rust or damage. It will start up and run but the cylinder head gasket is bad and causes it to run hot. The transmission does shift and move. I have not driven this vehicle more than around the yard to move it out of the way. The four wheel drive does lock in an turn all the wheels without any odd noises or sounds, both high and low gear I did check. The worse part is, since its been sitting, some kids decided to spray paint the outside since it was sitting. The original color was blue which is still visible from the roof. The spray paint really take away from the appeal of the vehicle. The brake system on it will need work, the bosch style abs system is bad which causes  hard brake pedal, I was going to ditch that system and install conventional power booster and master cylinder combo. I put a steering column in it because the original one was worn out and had a loose tilt unit, I never finished reinstalling he underside of the dash yet, as can be seen in the pictures because the modules are hanging. The interior is very clean for the age and mileage, the seats are all in good shape with not major flaws. The headliner is not there, the vehicle does have a sunroof that does NOT leak. The Jeep does already have a slight lift on it, front springs and rear blocks, they sway bar links need to be replaced, they are currently not hooked up.

 

So here's what it primarily needs.

 

1) Motor work- either a rebuild or repair the head gasket

2) Brake work-replace the power assist unit

3) Paint-Not much body work if any, Sand Prime and Repaint

4) Headliner-non existent at the moment

 

Please ask questions prior to bidding, I will respond as quick as I can. The purchaser must arrange pick up, I am located in Seaford, Delaware. There is NO warranty on the jeep, sales/bids are final.

Key-swapping thieves steal Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT from FL dealer

Sat, 09 Nov 2013

Just a few weeks back, we reported on the theft of an Audi RS5 by a pair of creative thieves who managed to swipe the car's keys when the salesperson stepped away from their desk. Now, a Florida dealership is missing a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 after some crooks switched the Jeep's keys with an identical, non-functioning set.
According to the report from local NBC affiliate WPTV, the men went in and spoke to a dealer about the Jeep. They walked outside, took a look at it, started it up and in the process managed to switch out the fobs. After doing their time with the salesperson, the thieves walked back out to the car, got in and drove away.
"I mean obviously, the way it was done, I think that they were professionals and they knew what they were doing," said Arrigo Jeep General Manager Joe Tufo. "The fact that they did it in broad daylight and switched the key fob and it was like it was nothing. That's what makes it unique," he added.

Next Jeep Wrangler to get hybrid option?

Wed, Jan 21 2015

This may the year a Jeep hybrid is officially announced. Really. The Chrysler division may finally be making plans for its first gas-electric powertrain to help boost the group's fuel economy, says UK's Auto Express, citing Mike Manley, CEO of FCA's Jeep division. The guinea pig of sorts may be the Wrangler, which moved almost a quarter-million units in the US last year. The Wrangler could get a hybrid drivetrain by the 2017 model year, as Jeep executives look to maintain the model's feel and torque while boosting its fuel economy. The Wrangler gets a pretty paltry 18 miles per gallon combined out of its six-cylinder mill, so the bar's set pretty low. Of course, we've heard this talk before. In late 2013, Chrysler Asia-Pacific product planning manager Steve Bartoli told Australia's Drive that a Jeep hybrid was pretty much inevitable, though not much has been mentioned since. FCA could use all the help it can get in the fuel economy department. The group brought up the rear among automakers when it came to fuel efficiency, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said in its EPA Trends report released last October. The FCA models combined for a 21.1 miles per gallon average for the 2014 model year, compared to the 24.2 mpg overall industry average. The group's only electric vehicle in the US is the low-volume Fiat 500e, though the company may start selling a plug-in hybrid version of its Chrysler Town & Country by the end of the year.

This SEMA special drag race is absurdly awesome

Fri, Dec 5 2014

The SEMA Show came and went last month, and it showed us a ton of heavily modded goodies to dream about during the long, cold winter. The Motor Trend Channel on YouTube is keeping the party rolling a little longer, though, with a drag race inspired by the aftermarket event. All of the hosts were supposed to borrow a vehicle from the show for the big race, but only two of them actually cajoled companies into lending their wares. Still, the result includes four very cool and extremely different examples of the breadth of the automotive hobby. First up, there's a 1955 Chevrolet with a 535-cubic-inch (8.8-liter) Hemi V8 stuffed under the hood. Appropriately, it's dubbed the Blasphemi, and with skinny tires up front, fat rubber in the rear and a stripped interior, this this is made to go very fast in a straight line. Next, there's a stock Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat boasting 707 horsepower. Plus, host Jessi Lang has her dog riding shotgun for the race. A Chevy Sonic RS with some body mods, downpipe and intake is also competing. Finally, the most bizarre of the quartet is a custom 1958 Jeep Forward Control with a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and treads to replace the wheels. Obviously, the Blasphemi and Hellcat are the only two that really have a chance of winning, but check out the video to see which one crosses the finish line first.
