For sale is a well equipped '97 TJ with a little shy of 140k mi. The Jeep is garage kept as I keep the soft top off, as it is only driven on sunny days without the chance of rain. There are half doors on it now but I have full steel doors with matching paint which are included. Also included are the spare tire with matching wheel which is not on the vehicle now, as seen in pic.
The engine is the famed 4.0L which is virtually bombproof when maintained. As such...the oil and K&N filter have been changed every 3K miles. I just had the Jeep shop in Chester Springs, PA replace the radiator with a updated stainless steel one. Also done were the water pump, thermostat and housing, valve cover gaskets, stainless steel brake lines, rear evap line, brake fluid, coolant temp sensor, brake master cylinder, serpantine belt, and new interstate battery.
I purchased this vehicle from a friend that works at Quadratec if all the extras look familiar. Every option has been done right as moreless everything has been updated from stock including a one-off custom roll bar, stereo, speakers and sub, seats and suspension. There are a ton of upgrades as the Jeep has been used in Quadratecs photo shoots.
While driving this past year, my son hit a deer and there were scratches to the ARB bumper which I did not repair but the WARN winch that is attached works perfectly. Because of the accident, I had the drivers side fender, hood, and grill re-sprayed and cleared in matching flame red. Also replaced were the Bushwacker fender flare, painted and cleared as well. Since you can't purchase only 1 flare that was scratched by the deer, I had to buy all 4. I replaced all but 1 of them because I had intentions of repairing some small rust on top of the passenger side front fender before it gets worse. It's not bad, but bothers me. I have the other flare if someone that purchases the Jeep wants to repair it since the flare should be taken off anyway and replaced with the new one.
As anyone knows Jeep, this vehicle could easily be driven as a daily driver if the commute was small, but driven long distances will kill you at the pump due to the lift and tire size. As for the tires...they will pass inspection which is up in September but they are getting close to needing replaced.
Included in the price are a safari top, new alternator, hawk brake pads, clutch kit, lights and bulbs, and many extras given to me from the gentleman I purchased the Jeep from. None of these need replaced......they are just extras. I also have an extra wheel I will include.
It kills me to have to sell the Jeep as I have taken extreme care of it and it's a phenominal "toy". Unfortunately due to a divorce and unseen attorney fees, the toys must go. My loss is someones gain as this Jeep is a head turner and will run for hundreds of thousands miles if well maintained. Anyone familiar with the 4.0L engine already knows this.
Paypal only please.
Feel free to call or email me any questions and I'll respond as soon as possible.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Jeep appears to have nailed it this time. After two decades of assembling its Grand Cherokee sport utility vehicle, the American automaker has finally delivered a world-class off-roader capable of taking on everything in its segment - and more - with a high likelihood of coming out on top.
And if you drove last year's model, it's time to climb behind the wheel again as Jeep has significantly updated the SUV for 2014 with a bold new exterior appearance, an upgraded interior with enhanced electronics and a new transmission that completely transforms the way it drives.
We recently spent a full week with a dark blue 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 4x4, a well-optioned model fitted with the standard gasoline-fed V6. While it didn't have the punch of the range-topping V8-powered SRT8, or the fuel-sipping economy of its new EcoDiesel sibling, the high-volume variant left us quite impressed.
Jeep dealer buries WWII Willys GP in showroom floor
Tue, 04 Nov 2014The Willys MB Jeep earned icon status during World War II thanks to its ruggedness, simplicity and go-anywhere ability. Following the war, it didn't take long for the handy vehicles to be scooped up by the public, and a brand slowly grew around the vehicles that has continued to thrive. Fast-forward to present day, where it's not uncommon for auto dealers to try to grab some of the magic of yesteryear by displaying classic models to connect customers with their brands' proud histories. Now, a Canadian Chrysler Group dealer is taking that notion to the extreme by actually making a vintage WWII Jeep part of its foundation.
Bay King Chrysler in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, recently completed its new showroom, and the franchise really wanted to show its dedication to the Jeep brand. As dealer principal Jamie Richter tells Autoblog, the inspiration for the Jeep installation came from his brother, who became fascinated with a home that had a glass floor looking down into its wine cellar. The company already had the 1943 Willys MB to display, but it had originally planned to build a jungle gym around it for customers' kids. Now, the classic is literally in the floor as customers enter. Richter tells Autoblog that customer reaction so far has been "fantastic."
It's certainly a novel way to bring people into the showroom, and seemingly a nice nod not only to Jeep, but to the men and women who served in the war. If you want to see more about how the Jeep was actually installed and what it looks like, check out this video.
NHTSA investigates FCA for SUVs that roll out of Park
Tue, Aug 25 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation into the 2014 Dodge Durango and 2014-205 Jeep Grand Cherokee after 14 complaints of the SUVs rolling out of Park. An estimated 408,000 of them could be affected, if a recall is necessary. All of the current complaints submitted to NHTSA about the issue concern the Grand Cherokee, and the claims allege that the SUV can roll out of Park whether or not the engine is running. Some folks report that they check the indicator each time because the gear sometimes fails to engage. Among the 14 cases, there are five accounts of crashes and three injuries, including a situation with someone allegedly being rolled over. NHTSA's preliminary evaluations are meant to investigate "the scope, frequency, and safety-related consequence" of a reported problem. They don't necessarily lead to a recall. Related Video: INVESTIGATION Subject : Unattended vehicle rollaway Date Investigation Opened: AUG 20, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: PE15030 Component(s): POWER TRAIN All Products Associated with this Investigation Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) DODGE DURANGO 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2014-2015 Details Manufacturer: Chrysler (FCA US LLC) SUMMARY: The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 14 complaints (VOQs) alleging that after being placed in Park the subject vehicles have then rolled away from their parked position. The unintended motion has occurred with both the engine off and the engine running. ODI has also identified EWR field report data related to the alleged defect. The model year 2014 and 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles are equipped with an electronic gear selector (shift-by-wire system). The gear selection is made by pressing the shifter-paddle forward or backwards; the shifter does not move along a gate path as with conventional gear selectors. A Preliminary Evaluation has been opened to asses the scope, frequency, and safety-related consequence of the alleged defect. The VOQs associated with the opening of this investigation are: 10733158, 10730952, 10683556, 10679497, 10583366, 10725429, 10715401, 10711893, 10676998, 10668651, 10662619, 10662308, 10605865, and 10567538.
