I bought this wag about two years ago for my 16 year old to learn how to drive in. We just sold my 18 year olds wag and now the 16 year old wants something newer to drive as well. This one has taken a lot of work to make it road worthy. The motor was rebuilt by a local machine shop and has about 1,000 miles on it. The battery, carburetor, alternator, thermostat, radiator, hoses, belts, fan clutch, tires, distributor (HEI), water pump, shocks, steering gear, fuel pump, starter, and some stuff I am sure I am forgetting are all new within the last two years. I like to play with old jeeps so it made sense to make one mechanically sound and let him learn in a heavy, safe car that could take a hit. I did the same for my 18 year old with a different wag and it has worked well.

What does not work - the a/c, cruise control. The power locks lock well but struggle to unlock. The back window does not work from the key switch but works very well from the dash switch. The rest of the windows work, front ones well and the rear ones slow. The body has scratches and dents and rust spots. I tried to show it all in the pictures but I think the pictures still make it look better than it looks in person. I guess these old wags are photogenic. The interior is in really good shape as the pictures show. The carpet in the back corners is dry rotting though.

the wag has a high capacity gas tank that holds about 28 to 30 gallons installed by the previous owner. 4WD works and this car did very well in the snow last year. When driven regularly it starts easily and runs well at operating temperature but I can not seem to get the choke set correctly so it does not run well until it is wormed up.

If you have any questions please ask. If you have zero feedback please contact me before you bid. I would like a $500 deposit via paypal within 24 hours of the auction close. Balance is due when the jeep is picked up. You have two weeks to pick it up unless we agree ahead of time on something else. I will accept cash or paypal only. If, when you come to get the jeep you feel that it has been misrepresented I will refund you $400 of your deposit back. The jeep is being sold as is where is and shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. I will be happy to work with your shipper if you choose not to come and get it yourself.

NHTSA closes book on Jeep 'trailer hitch' recall after all

Mon, 20 Jan 2014

After much debating and hand-wringing, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration now says it has "no reservations" with Chrysler's plan to recall certain Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokee models over concerns that their fuel tanks, which are located behind the rear axle, could rupture or leak in the event of a rear impact. The longstanding argument between the two entities saw Chrysler openly defy the Feds after a request to recall 2.7 million units back in June.
Chrysler's "voluntary campaign" will instead see it recall 1.56-million 1993-2004 model year Grand Cherokee SUVs, along with 2002-2007 Liberty models. Affected vehicles will get a trailer hitch installed free of charge, which Chrysler says will provide an additional degree of protection for the fuel tanks in the event of a crash. Jeeps with Mopar-branded hitches or hitches that were installed at the factory aren't affected by this recall.
Chrysler's argument throughout this battle has been that the Jeeps in question are no more susceptible to fires than comparable vehicles from the same time period, a position that NHTSA has seemingly arrived at as well. "Those vehicles performed at a rate similar to their peers. That is the keystone analysis as to whether something poses an unreasonable risk to safety," said outgoing NHTSA boss David Strickland during an interview with the The Associated Press.

Chrysler defies NHTSA, says it won't recall 2.7M Jeep Grand Cherokee, Liberty models

Wed, 05 Jun 2013

Facing a possible recall totaling around 2.7 million of its most popular SUVs, Chrysler remains insistent that the 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty are safe vehicles. This comes on the heels of a recall request from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for these two models due to fuel tanks mounted behind the rear axle, which could possibly be ruptured during severe rear-end collisions, leading to an increased risk of fire. In response to the allegations, Chrysler says that it does not agree with NHTSA nor does it plan on recalling either vehicle.
Chrysler said both SUVs "met and exceeded" the requirements for fuel-system integrity, and cooperated fully with NHTSA since the investigation was opened in 2010. While 15 deaths and 46 injuries have been reported from fires caused by rear-end collisions on these models, Chrysler is claiming that the vast majority of incidents cited by NHTSA were "high-energy crashes," including one where a stopped Grand Cherokee was rear-ended by a tractor trailer going 65 miles per hour.
The automaker wraps up by saying "NHTSA seems to be holding Chrysler Group to a new standard for fuel tank integrity that does not exist now and did not exist when the Jeep vehicles were manufactured." Scroll down for Chrysler's official response to NHTSA, but we're pretty sure this isn't the last we've heard on this issue.

2014 Jeep Compass/Patriot sing their swan songs with a six-speed automatic

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

Unless the governor, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne, gives them a reprieve, the 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot are expected to meet their makers sometime next year. Should they perish, it's a shame that it would happen just as they've shed the continuously variable transmission that was their major bugbear, and just as the Compass has gotten its best looks yet.
Both will roll with a proper six-speed automatic transmission, courtesy of PowerTech. Noise-resistant gears and tuning by Chrysler boffins should alleviate the unappealing sounds that were given off by the older CVT. Unless, that is, you choose to have either model equipped with Freedom Drive II; the serious off-road package, available on both baby Jeeps, will still come with the CVT. The base transmission on the entry-level Sport trim remains the five-speed manual.
Otherwise, it's minor changes for the Compass, set off by the new 18-inch wheel option, trim pieces around the car and a back-up camera. The Patriot gets seat-mounted airbags, but is carryover otherwise. With their expected demises perhaps a year away, not much has changed otherwise. Engine choices comprise the 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 158 horsepower and 141 pound-feet of torque or the 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 172 hp and 165 lb-ft.
