About my Jeep: It's a 1997 Jeep Wrangler (TJ). This jeep is my daily driver and is almost completely stock. It has 1.5" spacers on the springs so that 31" tires will fit but that's not the size currently on it. The tires are in very good condition. It has stock wheels. This is a 4.0 liter, 6 cylinder / 5 spd manual transmission Jeep with cold A/C and hot heat! Makes this Jeep much more user friendly for a daily driver! I have driven it all over and have no concerns about it's reliability. It had the radiator, water pump and all hoses replaced within the last year. It also has a new distributor cap and rotor. New muffler and fuel pump March 2014. 4WD works as it should with no issues of any kind. The top is a couple of years old but has no damage and looks good. It only has the soft top and soft half doors (lower doors are steel). Soft top is only a couple of years old and has tinted windows in the rear. Paint is original and is starting to show it's age but is completely passable.  I'd call it a "20 footer".  It's got rock chips and such but no dents.   A good detail man could bring most of it back (except the two faded spots on the hood.)   This Jeep has ABSOLUTELY NO RUST ANYWHERE.

The pictures in this ad are all very recent so they accurately represent what the Jeep looks like.

To the best of my knowledge, I am the third owner.  It still has the dealer sticker on it from '97 so I sure it's never been painted.


 The seats are in good shape (no rips, burns or stains). The carpet is showing its age and could use replacement.


 It has an aftermarket stereo head unit in it with aftermarket speakers in the stock sound bar.

The only real negative on the Jeep is the windshield is cracked. Has been since I bought it.

Current mileage is just over 150k but changes because this is my daily driver.

2015 Jeep Cherokee finds a bit more fuel mileage thanks to stop/start and aero tweaks

Mon, 06 Oct 2014

Just a year after it burst onto the scene, Jeep has already made a pretty substantial addition to its V6-powered Cherokee, which has proven to be an extremely popular seller so far for the brand, adding a new stop-start system for the midsize, off-road-ready CUV.
The addition of stop-start included a few aerodynamic tweaks to the Cherokee's polarizing body, resulting in a wallet-pleasing increase in fuel economy. According to the EPA, the front-drive, V6-powered Jeep will now return 21 miles per gallon in the city and 29 mpg on the highway, up from 19 city and 28 highway. Four-wheel-drive, V6-powered Cherokees, meanwhile, will now return 20 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway, up from 19 mpg in the city and 27 mpg.
With 271 horsepower, 239 pound-feet of torque and these newly enhanced figures, it's refreshing to see a larger, naturally aspirated engine that is still able to take the fight to today's crop of small-displacement, turbocharged four-cylinders.

Chrysler recalls 350k vehicles over ignition switches

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

Chrysler has announced a recall covering 349,442 vehicles due to ignition switches that can either become stuck or move without warning. All of the affected vehicles are from the 2008 model year, and were built before May 12, 2008.
The automaker has learned that ignition keys on some vehicles "may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position during engine-startup," the company said in a statement. Additionally, "an ignition key may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position and may inadvertently move through the 'ON' position to 'ACCESSORY' or 'OFF.'"
Chrysler says it is unaware of any related injuries, and notes that while reduced braking, engine or steering power is possible in such instances, the airbags are not affected. The later stands in contrast to General Motors' recent rash of high-profile recalls, and it's an important distinction that Chrysler (understandably) felt necessary to call out in bold print in its press release.

Woman and child die after Jeep gets stuck in mud

Tue, Mar 10 2015

A Florida woman and her baby died over the weekend when their Jeep sank into deep mud during an off-roading trip. Taylor Brown took his girlfriend Hallie Lewis and their infant son Bryson off-roading in his Jeep Cherokee on Saturday night. The Jeep became stuck in thick mud, according to WESH. Brown got out of the vehicle while Lewis and Bryson remained inside. Using a winch, Brown tried – unsuccessfully – to free the Jeep. The Cherokee was left running as he struggled to pull it out of the mud. When he returned to the Jeep to check on his son and girlfriend, he found them unresponsive. Taylor pulled the two out of the back window, but it was too late. Lewis was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. The baby died shortly thereafter. Police are still investigating, but their deaths appear to be a tragic accident due to carbon monoxide poisoning. The tailpipe of the Jeep was either submerged or caked with mud, allowing the deadly gas to build up inside the vehicle. News Source: WESH Weird Car News Jeep tailpipe carbon monoxide
