I bought this a few years ago because as a young man, I always liked em' and couldn't afford so I guess it was a mid-life crisis thing. I've driven Wranglers in the past but son was growing out of the jumpseat and granddaughters would be easier to load in second set of doors on the cherokee. I love the simple/reliable engine and drivetrain of these Jeeps. My granddaughters can crawl back and hook themselves up now and my son is driving his own truck, grown up and working full-time so the Wrangler will work again. Now enough of my story and on to the details of the truck.

This is an extremely clean Cherokee with everything working as it should, I mean that if you hit a window switch, lock or driving light switch, 4WD, AC, it works. I'm accused of being too picky and babying this truck, but that's just the way that I am regardless of what I'm driving. I have spent over $2000 (professionally)on bodywork/paint on the truck with two new doors on the passenger side(because they were rusted) everything else was cleaned up good and painted where needed. It's not perfect, but looks darn nice for an old Jeep. I don't have time to mention all of the "NEWS" in this truck but if it needed anything, it was done! From memory, I can remember replacing the rear brakes, rear half of exhaust, starter, 1000 amp battery, radiator, tranny filter fluid, valve cover gasket, seals on axles, shocks and HD springs w/Rough Country lift along with new Control bars, Adj track bar, extended sway bar links, 1" transfer case drop kit, sparkplugs, new 2" receiver hitch, 4- 70% Michelin radials, new driving lights, etc, etc. I have receipts for most everything I've done. I have spent well over $4000 on this Jeep in the past two years. The engine and trans both sound like new and operate that way with no issues, leaks, or oil burning. Does not burn or leak oil. Interior is very nice, non-smoking for it's life as far as I can tell(ash tray was clean when I bought it) with no smell or burns. Windshield was replaced when I had it painted to get rid of the sandblasted looking old one.

This Cherokee is a daily driver for me and starts(cold MN winters), runs and will drive you anywhere in the country, looking very nice doing it. I get tons of compliments while driving it. Mileage averages about 20mpg, a little less now in winter with the choke operating more. The only "negative" I can think of is that the truck has a slight vibration above 60 mph when the lift (3") was put in, local 4WD shop tells me that is normal and doesn't bother most, but that a "slip yoke eliminator kit" with completely clean that up. Vibration comes from increased angle on the driveshaft, 1" transfer case drop kit took care of most all of this. 4WD shop says I'm a picky @#$&^%!*&, I took that as a compliment. Most familiar with this engine/tranny combo know that it is capable of extraordinary miles with no real problems, and this one was maintained meticulously with Synthetics in the engine and both axles always. I'm buying another Wrangler, so take advantage of my little jewel. If you're into lifted Jeeps, save yourself the money and start where I left off, off road tires, etc. $5000 doesn't buy much of a vehicle anymore, but it will buy this one! My boys talked me into the lift I did put in. Hope somebody will enjoy this Jeep like I did. The Yakima roof rack and canoe carriers shown in photos are not included. Thanks for looking.

PS: After listing and reviewing the photos, I realized that the hard water spots and streaks show pretty bad from spraying it off recently. The finish when clean and toweled off is very nice

How to update and secure a vulnerable Chrysler Uconnect system

Sat, Jul 25 2015

If you own one of the 1.4 million vehicles affected by the recent Chrysler software recall, you may want to watch this video. In it, we explain how to get the latest infotainment software loaded onto the 8.4-inch Uconnect system. The recall was a response to the findings of researchers who were able to hack into and remotely control a 2014 Jeep Cherokee through its cellular connection. Although Fiat Chrysler has worked with Sprint to plug most of the holes on the carrier side, there are still some vulnerabilities that only this latest software version can patch. Owners have three options to get the update: download it now, wait for a USB stick in the mail, or take the vehicle to an FCA dealer. Chrysler will be sending USB sticks loaded with the software update to customers. Anyone with an internet connection and a USB stick of their own with at least 4 GB capacity can speed things up by downloading the patch from the Uconnect website. We cover that process from start to finish in the video, with the final portion still applicable to those using the FCA-supplied USB stick. If after watching this you still don't want to tackle the patch yourself, you can take your vehicle to the dealer to have it done. Also note that this process is the same for all Uconnect updates, not just the one patching the exploits. Our demonstrator vehicle is a 2015 Ram 1500 pickup. The procedure should be very similar on other products with the 8.4-inch Uconnect system, with only the location of the USB port varying. Once you have the USB stick with the software on it – either after having downloaded it yourself or receiving it in the mail from Chrysler – the installation process is relatively simple. It takes about 15 minutes to perform the update; we edited out the wait in the video. To check whether or not your car's 8.4-inch Uconnect system is running the latest software, go to System Information on the touch screen's Settings page and look at Software Version. The update related to the recall is version 15.17.5. Related Video: Recalls Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Safety Technology Infotainment Videos Original Video hacking

Jeep CEO a fan of pickup redux

Tue, Mar 10 2015

The idea of a Jeep pickup is a hardly a new concept. After all, putting a bed on the company's rugged off-roaders goes back to the '40s, not to mention the more recent Cherokee-based Comanche. There's a very slim chance that a truck could return to the lineup down the line if brand CEO Mike Manley gets his wish. "I remain a big fan of a Jeep pickup. I think we have history that says it belongs in our portfolio," Manley said to The Detroit News. However, there's no need to get any hopes up soon, because a truck doesn't get any mention in the brand's five-year plan. That puts the earliest possible introduction around 2019. Even Manley is tempering expectations. "At this moment and time, I have higher priorities. That doesn't mean to say that we don't work on it, we're not looking at it," he said to The Detroit News. The most likely candidate to support a future Jeep truck is the next-gen Wrangler, according to The News. The rest of FCA's pickups and SUVs are running at capacity, which makes slipping in another variant difficult. However, the future Wrangler is heavily rumored to get an expanded production facility in Toledo, OH, which could make things possible. Anonymous FCA insiders confirmed to Autoblog that the next-gen Wrangler would be offered with a 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 and eight-speed automatic. It's also reportedly using solid axles at the front and rear, a fixed windshield and an aluminum body. That could make for a very fun and practical off-roader. If reading all of this speculation gives you a twinge of deja vu, it should. After the Jeep Gladiator concept (pictured above), there were years of speculation about the brand bringing the pickup back. Even then the plan was for a compact truck to tackle that hole in the segment. It was even believed that the project had a green light for production seemingly with Sergio Marchionne's blessing. Then things were pushed back, and last year, the idea was officially quashed. Related Video:

Jeep Wrangler gets the wide-track treatment

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

When we read the tip about a Gulf-state diplomat in Rabat, Morocco who had supposedly "merged two Jeep Wranglers," we figured the two off-roaders were somehow linked front-to-back. Oh no. As you can see in the image above, taken from video of that vehicle actually traveling down the road and needing more than one lane to do it, the two Jeeps were put together side-by-side.
The seriously widebody truck is said to have six wheels, one at each corner and two in the middle. That's about all anyone seems to know about it at the moment, and that's probably enough - in these situations you know better than to ask why, just watch the video below.
