1978 Jeep Wagoneer.  12,086 ORIGINAL MILES!!!


This truck was originally a west coast truck. In storage for about 25 years in California then sold to someone in New Jersey in 2010. This Jeep remained totally stock until it was shipped to New Jersey. From that point it has had an extensive number of upgrades and add ons that are almost to much to mention. There were approx 8,200 miles on the truck when it arrived in New Jersey in 2010 currently it has just over 12,000 original miles on the odometer. It does remain almost 100% rust free, there are two small spots on the bottom rear wheel arches, one on each side approx 2" diameter(easily fixed). The paint was redone in the past and looks good with only minor dings from it being 35+years old. 

There is over $8,000 in PARTS alone on this wagoneer since it was purchased in 2010. I currently have well over $5,000 in receipts and many parts on the truck that I don't have a receipt for. It does have Dana 44 axles front and rear and was upgraded to disc brakes on all four wheels using NEW calipers, rotors, and pads. The transfer case was also upgraded to a Dana 300 twin stick. I will also include all the original parts off the truck and other wagoneer parts that I have including(the four original leaf springs, 2 original front seats in good condition, extra door hinges, extra interior and exterior trim pieces, original front spindles and hubs, original front and rear driveshafts, original aircleaner, New chrome transmission pan, original distributer, original fuel pump, used A/C compressor, New A/C compressor clutch, New headlights, original 3 piece bumper, etc.)

Jeep idles second shift it hired a month ago for 2014 Cherokee

Tue, 24 Sep 2013

In an unusual move, Chrysler is idling its recently hired second shift of 2014 Jeep Cherokee builders because, Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson said in a statement, it already has built the "critical number of vehicles we need to stock dealerships once containment is released," Automotive News reports.
After the "critical" 9,430 Cherokees were built, the layoff was enacted so as not to strain the automaker's logistics partners before the Cherokee is actually released. Chrysler says the temporary layoff will last about two weeks, with 500 workers out of work and another 600 reassigned at the Toledo Assembly Complex where the sports utility vehicle was being built. The second-shift workers were hired on August 19.
Chrysler previously insisted that it would release the Cherokee to dealerships by the end of the third quarter, and it initially planned to start selling the SUVs in mid-August. Apparently the Cherokee needed a software fix before hitting showrooms, which is how Chrysler explains why the release schedule is out of whack. We're thinking that this software fix addresses the "powertrain calibration" issue that delayed the first media test drives of the model. According to the Toledo Blade, Chrysler has admitted it is doing "extended quality validation testing" but refused to provide more information.

Chrysler teases upcoming outlay of SEMA cars

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is hauling a multitude of modified models to the annual SEMA show in Las Vegas this November, and the company is releasing the first teasing sketches of many of them.
Unfortunately, FCA isn't giving many solid details on any of the concepts other than saying the vehicles from Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Fiat all benefit from tuning from its Mopar performance brand. The teaser photos include a sinister-looking Chrysler 200S, Fiat 500 Abarth with two-tone paint and a scorpion on the hood, a red and black 500L, seemingly two different takes on the Jeep Renegade, a green Dodge Challenger wearing the T/A badge, an orange and black Dart, a very neon Charger, just the outline of a red and black Viper, a Ram ProMaster in Mopar livery and a Ram pickup called the Outdoorsman.
Take a look through the gallery to see what you think of the sketches for these concepts, and scroll down for the full announcement from FCA.

100,000 Jeep Cherokee models subject to further 9-speed recalibration

Thu, 29 May 2014

It seems that the software problems with the nine-speed automatic gearbox in the Jeep Cherokee continue to mount. The programming already caused multiple development delays and even postponed the Cherokee's market launch by roughly two months. Now, Jeep has issued another recalibration to hopefully assuage unhappy drivers.
According to Automotive News, this reflash for the allegedly jerky transmission covers over 100,000 Cherokees built before May 5, but it's not technically a recall. If owners are having problems and complain to the dealer, they get the new software. Otherwise, they continue with the current version. New vehicles on dealer lots also receive the latest revision to the programming. It takes only around five minutes to install, but technicians need to take the Cherokee on a test drive to adapt the gearbox to the changes.
The Cherokee's transmission software has been problematic practically since the beginning. The Jeep plant in Toledo, OH, briefly idled its second-shift workers last year to take care of the issue. Since the launch issues for the crossover, demand has been strong. Jeep added another 1,000 temporary workers to the Toledo factory to keep up, and sales were on par with the Wrangler in just its first two months.
