I am selling my 2001 Jeep Wrangler Sahara

This jeep has 118,000 miles and is a clean CA example with absolutely no rust of any kind with a motor from a 2005 Rubicon with 19k on the clock.

Some details on the car:

- When I purchased the vehicle (unknowing to me) it had a bad (or leaky) cam bearing and when it heated to operating temperature it would lose oil pressure and the light and buzzer would come on. If it didn't have a oil pressure gage or the buzzer was broke you would have never known. I didn't mind but I knew it had to be fixed. These engines are getting harder to come by since this was a common (other people had this happen so not an anomaly) problem around my year motor. I was able to source a 4.0 out of a 2005 crashed Rubicon that had less than 20,000 on the clock and had a professional Jeep business in town remove and install the new motor. This was an entire long block from oil pan to valve cover. We used my peripherals as they were in good condition and may have been replaced already considering how they look and function. As you can see by the pics below this jeep has been very well cared for and will have many more years of trusted service now that it has a new motor. It is dry as a bone underneath and is in good shape. This was not a cheap process and someone will benefit from my effort. I am looking at another vehicle to purchase and this was my "summer fun toy" and it has to go. As you can see it doesn't get off road much and hasn't spent anytime on salted wintery roads.

- As you will see by the paperwork I have all the documentation from the previous vehicle where the motor came from and the motor has the same VIN to verify it's history and mileage.

Some things that come with the jeep:

- brand new jeep cab cover (in tan from BestTop) still in original carrying case for when the top if off and it rains. This will work with the doors on or off

- Bikini top (in tan) from BestTop used for one summer with cross bar to mount it up front. Still looks brand new and is stored in the house

- HID-LED off road lights. These are about 3.5"x3.5" and sit on the window sill mounts that I had powder coated white to match the Jeep. They are brand new and come with the vehicle. They are tiny compared to the older round KC lights but brighter and use only 20 watts. I figured they would come in handy on back roads late at night or in storms when no traffic exists in the area or the occasional camping two-track type outing. They haven't been mounted (bolted on) but all wiring is complete and is a quick job since everything else is complete.

- Full stereo integration with custom sub box with 10" sub carpeted to match the interior color. A new amp, deck unit and all new 5 1/4 speakers both in the sound bar and dash (by your knees). I was able to remove the 4x6" speakers from factory with an easy aftermarket plate to accommodate the larger circular speaker.

This runs like a dream and will make someone very happy. Please bid to win as this will sell before the end of the week. I will not deal with any dealers or car brokers so please don't contact me as I will not respond.

You will be required to paypal $1,000 within the first 2 days after you have won the auction and pay in full and arrange for travel within 7 days. Buyer to pay for all shipping and associated costs of purchasing including but not limited to axes, fees, title transfer, etc.

NOTE: I have many pictures and would be happy to email them to anyone who wants to see something that I didn't post. I tried to pick a good assortment of them to get a general sense of the vehicles condition. Nothing has been left out intentionally and I would be happy to share.

If you have any questions please let me know and I will be happy to respond. Good luck on bidding!!!

Note: Added 2/17/2014

I have pictures of the new motor before it went in and also the jeep with the motor out of it as well for reference. I can't emphasize enough how clean this new motor is and looks like a brand new crate motor. If anyone would like additional photo's please ask me a question and provide your email and I will send them directly to you.

Thanks for the interest.

Toledo continues fight for Jeep Wrangler production, despite mayor's death

Thu, Feb 19 2015

Where will the next-generation Jeep Wrangler be built? That's an open question, but it's one that the city of Toledo, OH desperately wants to be the answer to. The city suffered a major blow, though, with the death of Mayor Michael Collins earlier this month. Collins had been the city's biggest champion during talks with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, before suffering a fatal heart attack on Feb. 6. But Collins' tragic death isn't dampening the city's desire to carry on as the home of the Wrangler. "The mayor's passing is tragic. But on Monday, when I came to work, I knew exactly what I needed to do and exactly what needed to be done," the city's director of development, Matt Sapara, told the Detroit Free Press. According to the Freep, Sapara said Toledo and the state of Ohio have delivered an outline of a development plan that would give FCA the ability to buy an extra 100 acres to expand the factory. This is to help accommodate FCA's targeted output of 300,000 to 350,000 next-generation Wranglers, up from the 240,000 the factory can make now. "Our target in the proposal is to provide a way to increase the production capacity to a number that allows Fiat Chrysler to meet its business model," Sapara told the Freep, adding that the land could be available later this summer. FCA, meanwhile, has shown a somewhat ambivalent attitude towards Toledo production, with CEO Sergio Marchionne openly discussing the pros and cons of continuing to build the Wrangler south of the Michigan border. "We are going to take a very hard look at this without ignoring what these guys have done," Marchionne told the Free Press at last month's Detroit Auto Show, adding that he'd like to keep production there, provided the cost of retooling is comparable to relocating to another facility.

Chrysler recalling 644k more Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs over brakes

Wed, 02 Apr 2014

Early last month, we reported on Chrysler issuing a preemptive, proactive recall for about 25,000 units of the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango. The issue revolved around a brake system that wasn't causing any actual problems, but delivered an unsatisfactory brake feel, so Auburn Hills called in a good 25,000 of SUVs around the world, including 18,700 in the United States.
Now Chrysler, having apparently determined that the brake problem on its sport utes is actually much bigger than it initially realized, has drastically broadened the scope of the recall. As a result, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for precisely 655,354 examples of the Grand Cherokee and Durango, covering the 2011 through 2014 model years. In addition, Chrysler is recalling 42,380 units in Canada, 21,376 in Mexico and 159,685 overseas.
The problem which Chrysler found revolves around the brake booster, whose center shell has been found to be subject to corrosion, allowing water to get into the brake system. That water in turn could freeze, preventing the brakes from working as well as expected.

Fiat 500X poised for Paris catwalk

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

We've known for some time that the new, Fiat-based baby Jeep (which may or may not be called the Jeepster) is set to arrive at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. What we weren't sure of was whether its platform mate, the so-called Fiat 500X, would be doing so alongside or at a later date. Well, according to Reuters, we'll get to see the first all-wheel-drive 500 later this year in the City of Lights.
Yes, we can expect the 500X to arrive at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, according to an official with an Italian trade union. The unnamed source cited retooling at Fiat's Melfi factory, in southern Italy, which currently produces the Grande Punto. It's expected that the newest member of the growing 500 family will replace the Suzuki SX4-based Fiat Sedici, although when the X will go on sale remains an open question.
According to Reuters, both the Jeepster and 500X will be built alongside each other in Italy. Whether the 500X will cross the pond with it's slat-grilled cousin, though, remains to be seen (we're leaning towards yes).
