1998 Jeep Cherokee (XJ)
  • 166,000 miles
  • 4.0 liter straight 6
  • Dana 30 front and Chrysler 8.25 rear, stock gearing
  • 33x12.5x15 BFGoodrich KM2 tires on 15" Crager D windows (about 60-70% tread remaining)
  • 4.5" Rubicon Express lift modified to remove the lift block and new shocks (less than 5,000 miles)
  • Smittybuilt XRC front bumper (properly mounted with grade 8 or better hardware)
  • Quadratec 9,000lb winch (again, properly mounted)
  • 4x KC 130w lights mounted to the roof rack (2x driving pattern, 2x long range spot pattern) - these things are really bright
  • 2x KC 55w rear floods (non-switched, can be used as work lights, backup lights or to illuminate your camp site)
  • Garvin steel roof rack with shovel, axe and Hi-Lift mounts (shovel and axe convey)
  • Hidden Hitch 2" receiver (again, properly mounted with grade 8 hardware)

If you are looking for a stock Jeep as a daily driver or a luxury SUV, go on to another ad right now. This XJ is meant for someone who wants to have some fun off-road but still be able to park it on a public street. One neighbor's kid calls it "muddy truck" and his parents call it "that thing" if that tells you anything about her. I'm pretty sure the roof is the only body panel which isn't dented (if you'd like, I can change that for the winning bidder). The front and rear wheel wells have been trimmed to accommodate the 33s. She has a 9,000lb winch to pull lesser rigs from peril and four 130w lights on the roof rack to illuminate the tears in the eyes of Hummer drivers while they are being winched out by a 15 year old truck. You should buy this XJ. She has taken me to some fun places and it's nice to have a rig you can beat on and have it come running back to you like your name is Chris Brown. So, despite the fact that she bleeds awesome, smells like fear and protein and will claw the face of it's enemy's like an off-strip Vegas hooker, I am now selling this she-beast to someone who will love her. 


The good: This thing goes anywhere. Motor runs well, transmission shifts without issues and 4wd engages with no problems. Recent work includes basic tune-up (distributor cap, rotor, plugs and wires), complete fluids (oil, trans, power steering and brake fluid), new steering box and lines with JCR steering box spacer, new starter, rebuilt rear springs (removed the lift block and replaced the factory u-bolts and the centering dowels), rear brake shoes replaced. Power locks and windows all work. Every bolt I've replaced has been replaced with a grade 8, equivalent or better. Current VA safety inspection - 100% street legal.

The bad: LCA bushings need to be replaced ($25 in parts and a couple of hours of labor) and the driver's door sags. It drives just fine but it makes a bit of a racket sometimes due to the worn bushings - mainly on hard, low speed turns. It doesn't bother me but you'll have to decide for yourself. 

The exterior: This thing is incredible. It looks like you just drove it out of Bartertown on your way to battle the zombie horde. If you don't think she looks awesome, I would recommend checking out a nice CPO Honda Pilot and might want to move on right now. Condition is 10/10 if you're awesome. 1/10 if you think clear coat and straight panels are important.

The interior: My neighbor's kid calls her "muddy truck" for a reason. The interior isn't fantastic. I removed the carpet from the cargo area which helps to clean up better when you need to put your wet tow strap away after pulling a Rubicon from a creek bed (true story). Driver's seat has some tears in the normal spot along the side. Some of the trim is cracked. Everything works but looks a little rough. Condition is 5/10 if you're awesome. 1/10 if you plan on wearing anything other than work clothes in the rig. (This is a Jeep, work clothes means Dickies not Brooks Brothers.)

Right now you're probably asking why I would sell such a kick-ass rig. Well, I have four Jeeps. Not my family, me. Four is too many Jeeps and this is the one my wife doesn't like riding in. She says people stare at us and not in a good way. I try to tell her they are just jealous but she has a hard time hearing me over the crunching sound Prius' make while I drive through them. Needless to say, I like her company and would like her to ride with me because she's funny and she smells nice.


Truck is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early if a local buyer is found.

Jeep first American carmaker to return to Tokyo show

Sat, May 23 2015

Despite foreign-brand car sales in Japan declining six percent in the first four months of this year, Jeep sales are up 21 percent in the same period. That could explain why Jeep will be the first the US manufacturer to return to the Tokyo Motor Show after eight years away. Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler walked away during the global crisis that struck after the 2007 show. Jeep will be part of an eight-vehicle, four-brand showcase overseen by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Japan, the local subsidiary. For the moment, it is the only US brand to sign up - neither Ford, GM, or even Chrysler are committed to attend. Stablemates Fiat, Alfa Romeo, and Abarth will be there, along with 13 other foreign makes, answering the "Technology & Fantasy" theme for this year's event. In total, organizers announced 15 brands from 14 Japanese manufacturers, and 27 brands from 17 foreign carmakers. The show opens to the public from Oct. 30 to Nov. 8. Related Video:

Jeep Chief and Wrangler Red Rock Responder teased ahead of Easter Jeep Safari

Thu, Mar 12 2015

Jeep is being coy about it's lineup for the 2015 Moab Easter Jeep Safari, releasing just a pair of shots and an exceptionally brief press release on two of the seven concepts coming to the desert later this month. So, what can we glean from the limited assets that have been given to us? Well, as we said, we know Jeep is bringing seven vehicles to its big festival. We also know the names of two vehicles, shown above – there's the Chief and the Wrangler Red Rock Responder. Which is which? A fair question. We're betting the second image is the Wrangler-based Red Rock Responder. As for the Chief, well, we've absolutely no idea what to expect there. Jeep's Moab concepts generally include the model name on which their based – see the Grand Cherokee Trail Warrior and Cherokee Dakar from last year, or even the Wrangler Red Rock Responder, mentioned above. There's no such moniker on the Chief. As for the Chief's illustrated teaser image, as we said, it doesn't reveal much. The body is angular, and quite Jeep like, with squared-off wheel arches and decidedly old-school taillights. Beyond that, though, we don't have much to go on. Expect much more not just on the Chief and Red Rock Responder, but on all seven of the concepts Jeep is bringing to Moab. The party starts on March 28 and runs until April 5. Be sure to check back then for full coverage. Related Video:

Chrysler recalling 31k SUVs and vans

Fri, 06 Jun 2014

Chrysler is issuing recalls covering roughly 31,700 vehicles worldwide due to two separate problems. In both cases the company believes that most of the affected vehicles are either still on, or in transit to, dealer lots.
One recall covers roughly 10,700 Dodge Durango, Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee SRT models from the 2014 model year built between January 16 and April 17, 2014. The SUVs need a software update for the cruise control. It's possible that when the cruise is on and the driver presses on the throttle, the acceleration could last a second after the pedal is released or two seconds for the SRT. Afterward, they return to the speed originally set by the driver.
Chrysler says it isn't aware of any accidents, injuries or even reported incidents of this happening in the real world. Also, in all cases, if the driver presses on the brake, the cruise shuts off. The automaker believes that there are about 6,100 affected SUVs in the US, 950 in Canada, 425 in Mexico and 3,200 outside of North America. The software upgrade will be ready shortly, the company says.
