  I am reluctantly selling my 1998 jeep Cherokee, this truck has been in the family since it was driven of the lot in 1998, a recent accident caused me to take it off the road last month.. I was going to do the repairs and use it primarily for recreation, but I know I wont be able to give it the attention it needs right now, so I'd rather see someone else enjoy it in stead of it rusting away in my yard..  I'm starting the bidding low, with no reserve as e-bay has a way of finding the fair market price, however if your looking for a jeep project or lift parts, tires,a rack or ladder this is for you, at a $850 opening bid, I spent more on the tires alone...

  Alittle history...The truck was originally my mothers and I bought it from her in 2009 at app. 150,000mi.. she had all repairs done at the jeep dealership, which I thought was crazy, but our family always had jeeps and after a string of bad experiences with repairing a 1991 Grand Wagoneer she was convinced that only the dealership knew how to fix them right... I however have always fixed the truck myself so from 150k on I did all the repairs.. I've been using the truck as a daily driver to work.. 80 mi. a day (so all the miles on the truck are highway miles) gas$ also was a factor in replacing the truck..

  I replaced a lot of components these last couple of months.. I had a engine code p0301(missfire cyl. 1) come up and was tryng to clear.. I did a complete tune up in august/September new spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor, new camshaft sensor(from jeep), new crankshaft sensor(also from jeep), I also changed the fuel injectors with rebuilt units the week of the accident! I have about 100 miles on the injectors I believe this cleared the error code but I have no way of knowing now...  I also installed a new catalytic converter, muffler, pipes from the cat back, and 02 sensors last year..

  The accident in September, the truck was side swiped on the driverside and I hit into the rear of another car.. the truck starts & runs but the steering linkage was bent and damaged- so the front tires are toed-in too far, so it is undriveable an would need to be towed.. I don't know the extent of the damage as I haven't been able to drive it since.. the tires were not damaged however.. also the passenger front power window regulator is broken, and the key fob isn't working, but i'm pretty sure its just the battery in the key fob...   

    modifications I have made over the years.... in 2011 I lifted the truck with a rough country 3" lift kit- completely new rear leaves and front springs *NO CRAPPY BLOCKS AND SHACKLES* new shocks, and 31" BFGoodrich TA Tires tires still have a lot of life in them..    I also fabricated a roofrack and ladder on the back hatch.. both are welded steal and covered in bedliner, they are super strong I am 6'5" 300lbs. and I stand on the ladder and load the rack with no problem.. in the rack are 4 front flood lights and one rear flood light, all wiring was oversized #12wire and carefully run inside the rack tubing and controlled by relays in the engine compartment; plenty of power if you want to upgrade the lights.. to accommodate the added weight of the ladder on the rear hatch I added a third air shock to the door - the rear door flies up and stays up.. also installed Datsun Z hood vents in hood, aids in cooling engine in traffic and offroading.. on a hot day you can see the heat rising out of the vents- would recommend vents to any one with a Cherokee.. Truck also has a factory hitch or rear..

   also in 2012, new radiator, new hoses top & Bottom, new thermostat, new water pump. Had AC compressor changed in 2009 at jeep dealership AC is still ice cold.

  I can't think of anything else to describe the truck, I want to be as honest as possible, if I had the time and money to fix the truck myself I would, I have had nothing but good times in this jeep, they are easy to work on and drive forever, there's a reason you still see so many on the road! please ask questions I will respond on here as soon as possible.. Keep in mind the truck isn't drivable, and needs to be towed, I'm not a shipping service, I have no idea how much it would cost to ship, I will gladly help with whoever comes for the truck but I cant coordinate transportation.. 

The winning Bidder has to pay a $500 down payment to paypal within 24hrs of end of auction.. the remaining balance can be payed in cash or certified bank check upon picking up car within 7 days of auction end. please do not bid if you have no intent of buying this truck.. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding!
