1990 Jeep Wrangler w/hard top. 2.5L 5 speed. Runs good.

Gravel/chip guard applied to bottom areas and front grill & windshield. New doors were purchased, painted. New hard top painted inside & out. New side step bars. New hardtop latch handle. New wiper arms. New fender flares. New wheel center caps, new lifetime warranty lug nuts (McGard). New rear frame crossmember/bumper. Undercarriage scraped free of mud & painted. New hood catches & hinges. New door hinges. New windshield hinges. New mirror relocation kit installed. New exterior mirrors. I don't have a spare tire for it. I took the tire carrier off, but I still have it. Interior: New neoprene seat covers on front & rear. Dash repainted black. New locking center console. New locking glove box. New door pull handles, window cranks. Replaced inner & outer shifter boots. Interior floor pan repainted/coated with gravel guard (3M). New weatherstripping all around. Mechanical: New rear shocks. . Tires are in good condition, rear are about 75% tread, front about 50%. New radiator, new distributor cap & rotor. Chassis is a 1990 with about 195,000 miles. Engine is from a 1992 Wrangler & has approximately 133,000 miles on it. New steering shaft (from steering wheel to steering box). New transfer case chain installed. I bought this for my teenage son, but he doesn't think it's cool enough. As the description above says, I've done quite a bit of work to it to get into good working order and make it visually appealing...at least in my opinion. It passed Maryland inspection in the Fall of 2013, so all mechanical & safety components are in good working order. The vehicle is 24 years old, so it's a little quirky. Takes some time to warm up and run smoothly, so you can't just jump in & go during cold weather. The high beam switch is broken, I replaced it, but the aftermarket junk broke already. The lift kit makes it a little more difficult to drive, so two-handed driving is always a good idea at highway speeds. It is only a 2.5L 4 cylinder, so don't expect to do any street racing with it. A safe top speed is about 70 mph...and that's exactly why I got my son a Jeep...boys will be boys. I've only owned this for about 7 months, so I can tell you my experiences with it. CarFax does show an accident several years ago, but it appears to have been only a minor fender bender. The driver side front fender had been damaged. I did the bodywork on it, so you can't even tell it now. Please feel free to ask questions if you're interested. |

AEV Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon
Fri, 28 Feb 2014
After their rented 2007 Hummer H3 failed them during the brutal Rallye Aicha des Gazelles in Morocco, Amy Lerner and her sister Tricia Reina were on a quest to find the most capable production off-roader for their next competition - they chose a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. Their next mission was to find a company with the competence to configure it to win. After poring over Internet forums and perusing countless magazines for an outfitter who could meet their demanding requirements, they sent their bright orange JK ("Crush" is the official color) to American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) for some modifications.
The Michigan-based team at AEV kept the Jeep's 3.6-liter V6 and automatic transmission stock, but replaced the hood with a tall AEV Heat Reduction Hood and added an AEV Snorkel Kit for water crossings (it serves double-duty as its raised height helps to keep the air intake out of the kicked-up dust on the trail). Front and rear off-road bumpers were bolted in place, and AEV skid plates were added to provide additional undercarriage protection. A pair of IPF-900 off-road lights improve visibility, while a 10.2-gallon AEV Fuel Caddy (located behind the exterior spare) added some range. The suspension was upgraded with a 3.5-inch lift kit with Bilstein remote reservoir shocks, and 35-inch Falken Wildpeak A/T tires (LT285/70R17) were mounted at all four corners on AEV's beadlock wheels.
Watch this R/C Jeep Wrangler plow snow
Mon, 06 Jan 2014There's no denying the fact that the Jeep Wrangler is one tough and rugged vehicle, and there is apparently little lost when the SUV is shrunk down for a 1:10th scale radio-controlled version. Proving that the Axial SCX10 Jeep Wrangler is not your run-of-the-mill R/C car, YouTube user Andrew Dykiel posted a pair of videos showing it clear about an inch of snow from his sidewalk and driveway during a snow storm last month.
Starting at $379.99, the Axial SCX10 costs more than most budget snowblowers, but other than paying a neighbor kid to shovel your snow, this might be the best way for a car guy to clear snow without the need for hot chocolate and ibuprofen. Better yet, it's electric, so it's zero-emission answer to snow removal! Scroll down to see how this R/C Jeep can help "shovel" snow from the warmth of your sofa. We've also thrown in a bonus video showing the mini Jeep negotiating the Rubicon Trail.
What's really going on with the 2014 Jeep Cherokee's transmission issues?
Fri, 27 Sep 2013On September 23, Automotive News reported that Chrysler had idled the second shift workers it hired just five weeks prior at its Toledo Assembly Complex to build the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. At the time, Chrysler said it had "built the critical number of vehicles we need to stock dealerships once containment is released" and did not want "to put additional strain on our logistics partners ... upon release." That reasoning was not only unusual, it didn't seem to make sense.
It appears the center of the nine-speed issue is software, not hardware.
That same day, the Detroit News ran a piece claiming workers at the Toledo factory said the halt was due to issues with the Cherokee's transmission. It put the number of already-built Cherokees needing fixes at 1,000 and said that some of the workers not laid off had been instructed "to take the Jeep on long test-drives." That made more sense. Three days later, on September 26, Automotive News reported that the 500 workers laid off had been reinstated, with engineers "speeding repairs on the SUV's powertrain software." The AN piece didn't put a number on how many units are being fixed, but it did say that 12,000 have been built and are awaiting delivery to dealers. The best it could say about when dealers will get them, however, is that "progress on a fix is being made. It's unclear when shipments to dealers will start."
