The Jeep has treated me very well, but I needed something with better gas mileage and really don't have much of a need for it.
A few things about the Jeep:
191,xxx miles
Rear wheel drive
Its the four door SE model with the 4.0L l6 engine.
Automatic transmission. Shifts great and has more power than you would expect.
Manuel locks and windows.
It was well maintained(never missed an oil change or tune up, however it is reaching a transmission flush which has turned on the check engine light)
The Jeep is black but the paint has started to fade, I decided to take this and run. Instead of repainting it I badged the rear windows with a few zombie decals(which could easily be removed) and added a blood splatter bed sheet as the interior roof lining.
Has a basic am/fm, cd stereo unit.
There are a couple small issues:
The turn signals cams need to be replaced(the turn signals do not shut off automatically)
The cruise control does not work.
I am told that both of these things could be fixed by replacing the clock spring(I know that they price at about $60 I have just been unwilling to invest the time.
As with most of the Jeeps from this era the catalytic converter heat shield rattles on cold starts. (I have been told that these can be removed pretty easily.
Lastly, there is a crack in the bottom of the windshield( it passed regulations in Missouri, so I never bothered to have it replaced)
Overall the Jeep is in great condition and with a little care it could turn into a great vehicle or a fun project.

There have been a couple things that have been brought to my attention, the vehicle stays at my moms house, and I asked her to drive it for the day and let me know how it drove, she did tell me that the check engine light came on, I have not checked the light yet, and she said there was a rattle from the exhaust, which I assume is the heatsheild which is famous for coming loose and making a rattling noise.
Overall the Jeep is in great condition and with a little care it could turn into a great vehicle or a fun project.

YouTube tallies votes for this year's top five Super Bowl spots [w/video]
Tue, 19 Feb 2013When we asked you to tell us which of this year's 16 car-themed Super Bowl commercials you liked best, you chose the Farmer commercial from Chrysler Group, advertising the Ram trucks, over Audi's Prom commercial in second place. Turns out the voters in YouTube's Ad Blitz poll agreed, voting the same commercial to the number one spot from among the field commercials in every category.
From there, however, they went in a totally different direction. Budweiser's The Clydesdales spot came second, Samsung's The Next Big Thing took third. The Jeep Whole Again ad scored fourth in the YouTube poll, fifth in our poll of auto commercials, and the Hyundai Team spot got fifth from the YouTubers, but ninth in our poll.
The voting results don't match up with the viewing numbers, though - while Farmer has more than 13 million views, The Next Big Thing is well beyond 21 million. You can read the press release below and see all five spots, lined up for you, one more time.

Chrysler delays 2014 Jeep Cherokee media launch
Tue, 30 Jul 2013Chrysler is making the unusual move of delaying the first media drives of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, which were slated to start next week in Seattle. And while something like this is a rare occurrence, and one that most of the Autoblog staff can't recall happening this publicly or so close to the event itself, it won't effect the actual on-sale date of the new Cherokee, which is set to hit showrooms in September.
"Over the last couple of weeks during final quality and durability testing, we have discovered the opportunity to further improve powertrain calibration," Chrysler told Automotive News. This marks the second notable delay in the Cherokee's short life, after production was delayed for roughly a month earlier this summer.
Still, we'd rather Chrysler make sure the Cherokee is ready for primetime before flying media in from around the country. It shows a willingness to get things right the first time, rather than offering media drives and then tweaking the car after the fact.
