I DO HAVE ALL MAINTENANCE RECORDS!
Additional pics are on Flickr. Email me for the link This is an awesome Jeep. I have took this thing on a handful of trail rides (Utah, Tierra Del Sol, and locally twice) and what a capable vehicle! This jeep will go up anything!! Here are some of the things I really love about this Jeep and so will you! - The new Pentastar V6. 285 HP! That is 83hp over the last year's motor. What a difference! - New and Improved 5 speed automatic transmission. One extra gear than the last years Jeep with a lower first gear and closer ratio. This makes for much better drivability on and offroad. You definitly want to buy a 2012 or up Jeep for these two reasons. Its a whole new world. - When I went on the Tierra Del Sol trail ride, it was a blast. All the jeeps I was following were older with their tops off. The drivers were having fun too but they were sweaty and had a nice layer of dirt covering themselves. I had the top on so I was in full AC, with my favorite music jamming. This makes trail rides so comfortable which is especially important if you plan on bringing the wife and/or kids. The older jeeps had to get a good run at many of the climbs to have momentum to offset their low power. Not this 2012. Plenty of power and traction to take it nice and slow. Stopping and starting on the steep with no problems. - I put 35" Toyo Open Countrys on this jeep. They have approx 10K miles on them. I chose 35s because that is the largest tire you can install and keep the drivetrain stock. This was very important to me for warranty reasons of course and also reliabilty. In my experience, OEM always bests aftermarket in the reliabilty dept. - To fit 35's, you need a lift. I chose the Teraflex 3" lift with their front lower arms and rear upper arms. This is a great riding lift and allows you to adjust the pinion angles. I also chose to upgrade to Fox shocks for their better ride. - I installed a Warn Powerplant winch. This is the coolest winch out there and pricey too at $1700 bucks. It is cool because besides being a capable Warn winch, it also has a nice air compressor built right in. Very clean, very usable. If you want to do some real trail rides, you gotta be able to air up after you air down. Airing down increases your traction dramatically and also smooths out a very bumpy ride. - It has a very clean LoD front bumper. It allows the winch to be mounted low, out of the radiator air stream (no overheating) and looks cool doing it. It also allows for a better approach to rocks and stuff for the front tires. - It has a synthetic winch rope. This is very nice for winching and takes considerable weight off the car. - It has customized Spider rock rails. These look cool, protect your jeep and are tucked up nice and high. I customized them by cuttin a new solid panel of aluminum that replaces the original panel with holes. I didnt want rocks and mud flying up through those holes and piling up above the rails. I think this is an improvement and you wont see rails like this on another jeep. - It has TeraFlex's new, HD hinged carrier which allows the rear door to support the extra weight of a 35" spare tire. This is an awesome product. It allows you to access you rear door directly without having to swing away a spare tire carrier first. Many of those spare tire carriers rattle and squeak too which is one of my pet peeves. - The white body with white top and fenders keeps the jeep cooler when it is sitting out on the trail with the motor off and is easier to keep clean. Those black tops and fenders start turning white after a while. I also chose the tan leather interior to keep the temp down and plus I think that color scheme looks the best. This is the perfect Jeep for trail rides and just enjoying summer with the top off. It has the freedom top which can be removed in parts. You can take it all off or just pop the two panels off over the fronts seats or my preference, remove the rear and leave the panels on over the driver and pass seats. The top is nice a quiet on the road and does not leak at all. I am selling this jeep because we are buying a new house and need to get my debt to income ratio down. I will likely buy another one just like this in a couple years after we get into the new place. Next time I will buy one used just like this to save some dough. This jeep did have the heads replaced at the dealership about 10K miles ago. This was a common problem with these Pentastars in the 2012 and this has been rectified and I do have the reciepts. In the pics you will notice some small marks in the paint on the right rear fender. I just noticed them today and the look like they will buff out easily. I plan to have this done this coming week. You will also notice some dings and the inside of the rear door. They are small and I do not plan on fixing them since they are rarely seen. You may also notice some small white dots on the bumper and winch. I rubbed out a few of them with a litle elbow grease so they do come off. I will have these removed as well and the rusty winch leader allen bolts will be replaced. I do have a clean title in hand (borrowed some money to pay it off so the transaction would be easy) Feel free to contact me for questions or to come and inspect and test drive before bidding. You wont be disapponted. I will get it on a lift within the next few days and add pics of the undercarriage to my Flickr account. Additional pics are on Flickr. Please email me for the link since Ebay didnt like the link I pasted here. Corey 760 809 3151 On Apr-25-14 at 15:09:12 PDT, seller added the following information: Update... First of all, I forgot to mention some of the basics. This jeep runs perfect like you would expect from a 2012 with 20K miles and rides real nice. It tracks nice and straight and cruises on the freeway easily. The title is clean and it has never been in an accident of any kind. The oil has been changes religiously and I have the records for that. I have posted one pic of the underside on this listing and more pics on Flickr. It is nice and clean. No dents. There is also an updated pic of the bumper without the "dots". You may notice the tire support under the spare tire. This is a custom part I made a while back when I had the stock spare tire carrier. It isnt really needed now with the Terra Flex carrier but I left it on. I will probably remove this before it sells unless someone really wants it. |

2014 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year finalists announced [w/poll]
Tue, 10 Dec 2013The 2014 North American International Auto Show is right around the corner, which means it's high time we found out which cars and trucks would be finalists for the prestigious North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards.
The finalists - three in cars and three in three trucks/utilities - are dominated by American brands, with two-thirds of the finalists hailing from either General Motors or Chrysler (don't worry Ford, there's always next year), while outliers from Mazda and Acura can be found in each contest. Here now is the list of finalists for the big prizes:
2014 North American Car of the Year:
25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango SUVs recalled over brake feel
Mon, 10 Mar 2014Chrysler has announced that it is recalling over 25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from several markets over concerns about brake feel under hard braking. The affected models are from the 2012 and 2013 model years, although the actual dates of production aren't available. 18,700 are in the US, while 825 are in Canada, 530 are in Mexico and a further 5,200 outside of North America.
According to a statement, Chrysler was informed of the issue by a component supplier for the Ready Alert Braking system, which primes the brakes in anticipation of an emergency stop. A component in the system was restricting the flow of brake fluid too much.
As Chrysler is quick to point out, the way the brakes functioned was in compliance with regulations and there are no reported cases of drivers losing braking power. Instead, the issue rests with what Chrysler calls a pedal feel that "was not consistent with customer expectations." So it would seem Chrysler is being proactive and fixing a problem not because there's a legal issue at work, but simply because it doesn't feel the way the manufacturer wants it to. Well done.
Build a Jeep Gladiator 392 next? The Hummer H3T Alpha blazed the trail
Tue, Nov 17 2020The 2021 Wrangler Rubicon 392 will combine the go-anywhere capability of a Jeep's iconic off-roader with the grunt of a V8 for the first time in decades. As cool as that is, we can't help but think Jeep is missing out on a huge opportunity to pair that 470-horsepower, 6.4-liter Hemi V8 with the Wrangler's pickup cousin, the Jeep Gladiator, in the form of a Mojave 392. Autoblog took part in a media Q&A session with Jeep ahead of the Rubicon 392's announcement in which the company's product higher-ups said that there are currently no official plans to build a 392 variant of the Gladiator pickup. But whether or not Jeep has plans, it certainly has precedent, and from our perspective, a market. Rewind to 2008, better known as one of the worst possible years to introduce a gas-guzzling, V8-powered pickup truck. Enter the 2009 Hummer H3T Alpha, the first variant of Hummer's midsize truck/SUV hybrid to be offered with a 5.3-liter V8. The 300-horsepower small-block was an upgrade to the sturdy but relatively uninspiring 3.7-liter inline-5 that the H3 lineup had inherited from its midsize pickup platform mates. As our Jeremy Korzeniewski noted in the Rubicon 392's introductory piece, an open-top Jeep has not been offered with an optional V8 for as long as the "Wrangler" nameplate has existed. The last Jeep 4x4 to do so was still a CJ, or civilian Jeep, and the 304 cubic-inch engine came from American Motors Corporation. Incidentally, this generation of the Wrangler is also the first to be offered in a pickup variant. Cue the beard-stroking. Now, frankly, it's not even remotely fair to compare the H3T's powertrain offerings to the decade-newer Gladiator's, but the Hummer actually boasts a few advantages over Jeep's modern pickup. While most of the Jeep's off-road specs give it an edge, the Gladiator doesn't come close to the H3T's 30.1-degree departure angle, for instance. And in more practical terms, the stubbier H3T has other maneuverability advantages. The Gladiator has 3" of wheelbase and 5" of overall length on the H3T, and a 22.4-foot turning radius to show for it. The Hummer's? Just 18.5'.
