Up for sale is my 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. Need it gone by the end of next week. Just hit the 200,000 mile mark, but runs excellent. I am going to be completely honest about everything I've stated in this article. I have had this vehicle for about a year now, and I've put quite a bit of money into it since I have owned it. All the work was done by my father and I. I am a perfectionist so everything was done right, no corners cut. My intentions were to lift it, get it repainted, and have a really nice daily driver that I could go off-roading with on the weekends. I honestly do not want to sell this vehicle. I have a lot of time, money, and sweat invested.
I will accept pretty much any decent offer. You will not find a more mechanically sound and nearly rust free vehicle for this price. I guarantee that. If you don't have the money yet, please don't waste my time. It's a cash only sale. That means hard cash in hand no checks.
All new parts just recently installed: Wheel Hub Assemblies (One National, other is Moog), Differential Spider Gears, Moog Sway Bar End Links, Fuel Pump, Power Steering Pump, Alternator, Borg Warner Throttle Position Sensor, Borg Warner Idle Air Control Valve, Trickflow Throttle Body Spacer, Accel Cap & Rotor, NAPA Plug Wires, Autolite Plugs, Stainless Header, Dynomax Tail Pipe, OEM Replacement Walker Intermediate Exhaust Pipe, Magnaflow High Flow Catalytic Converter, Flowmaster Super 40 Series Muffler, Fel-Pro Valve Cover Gasket, Fel-Pro Intake/Exhaust Manifold Gasket, Bosch o2 Sensors, PCV Valves, Bosch Windshield Wiper Blades, Moog Ball Joints, Rugged Ridge HD Tie Rod Kit, Rough Country 2.2 Steering Stabilizer, Monsterliner Roll-On Bed Liner (Rolled on but still put carpet over it).
Replacement, Reman, Or not exactly brand new parts: Replacement gas tank, Remanufactured Steering Gearbox, Goodyear Wrangler Tires (1 Year Old), 99'+ Intake upgrade, Replacement Passenger Door from Junkyard (No rust), Replacement Rear Hatch from Junkyard (Minor Bubbling on the lip, not much at all), Gas Tank Skid Plate (not installed).
The issues:
Front Driveshaft Used to vibrate so it was removed. So currently no 4wd. Didn't have 4wd last winter and I never had a problem. (Still have driveshaft)
No A/C, compressor went out so an idler pulley was installed in its place
I had to do a roof patch due to the previous owner's idiotic idea to install an aftermarket sunroof.
The ONLY rust, a small 1"x 5" hole in the drivers wheel well. And Bubbling on some of the bottom inner door lips. Really easy fix if you are handy with a welder.
Windshield has a large crack across the bottom and a few scattered very small chips.
The paint job isn't anything to brag about
No Stereo or Speakers.
Could use alignment in my opinion, especially since a lot of the steering components are new.

NHTSA closes investigation into Jeep Liberty fires
Sun, 16 Mar 2014The investigation that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened into the Jeep Liberty in October 2013 has been closed. NHTSA received two (!) complaints about fires starting in the driver's door, thought to be caused by the master power window switch. The initial estimate was that 80,000 Libertys could be roped into a possible recall, but according to a report in the Detroit News the agency examined records for 425,000 Chrysler products that used the same window switch, including the Dodge Nitro and Chrysler Town & Country minivan.
After canvassing 265 warranty claims related to the master switches, NHTSA concluded that the rate of fires compared to the "large population of vehicles" was rather low, and that there was no trend pattern behind the few issues it did find. Perhaps with that, and the closure of the trailer hitch investigation, the Liberty can finally rest in peace.
2015 Jeep Renegade to start at $17,995, Trailhawk rings up at $25,995
Thu, Jan 22 2015Prices for the 2015 Jeep Renegade have leaked onto a enthusiast forum ahead of the official embargo on pricing and driving impressions, which breaks at 12:01 AM Friday. They come from a video interview with Jeep CEO Mike Manley, that was allegedly set live accidentally. It's since been pulled down. At this point, it's unclear if the listed prices include any destination charges, so they could climb slightly higher or lower. In its most basic form, the two-wheel-drive Renegade Sport will go on sale for just $17,995. For that price, you get, um, not a lot. Really. The entry level Renegade doesn't even offer standard air conditioning – it's part of a package that includes heated power mirrors and cruise control. The $21,295 Latitude adds a leather-wrapped steering wheel, standard 16-inch wheels, air conditioning, five-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth, a six-speaker stereo and USB connectivity. The top-end Renegade Limited, meanwhile, starts at $24,795 and makes standard items of the heated, powered leather seats, dual-zone climate control, seven-inch TFT display in the instrument cluster, auto-dimming mirror and 18-inch wheels. The Limited also adds a number of aesthetic tweaks that spruce up the Renegade's exterior, including brightwork around the grille, mirror caps, taillights and roof rails. The above prices, of course, are only for the front-drive Renegade. Add $2,000 to the above prices for all-wheel drive. You won't need to add that to the all-wheel-drive-only Trailhawk, which starts at $25,995 and comes with a slew of off-road features, including a bespoke front and rear fascia, with the former sporting the world's most adorable pair of red tow hooks. Mechanically, there's an exclusive version of the brand's Active Drive all-wheel-drive system that includes a 20-to-one crawl ratio and a dedicated Rock mode for the Selec-Terrain system and 17-inch wheels. The cabin, meanwhile, is home to Ruby Red accents. While we have basic trim prices, we're still without more specific details, including the cost of marquee options like the My Sky roof, as well as the plethora of options packages that will be available when the CUV arrives in dealers. We'll have our full review of the all-new Renegade available when the embargo on driving impressions breaks Friday. In the meantime, let us know what you think of these prices. Are they where you expected them to be? Higher? Lower? Have your say in Comments. Related Video:
Some Jeep Cherokees and Chrysler 200s to get standard stop-start in 2015
Wed, 25 Jun 2014Automakers the world over are striving to find ways to make their models more efficient, and Chrysler has a solution for some versions of the 2015 Chrysler 200 and 2015 Jeep Cherokee (2014 model shown). The Tigershark 2.4-liter four-cylinder in the 200 and the 3.2-liter Pentastar V6 in the Cherokee are getting a slight boost later this year thanks to the addition of Chrysler's Engine Stop-Start system as standard equipment. The company predicts modest gains - a three-percent improvement in fuel economy and a three percent reduction in CO2 emissions with the new tech compared to without it. While it's not much, those who sit in traffic a lot may see a difference.
Chrysler's stop/start system uses a high-speed starter motor to restart the vehicle in a claimed a third of a second. It works by detecting when the vehicle comes to a stop and turning off the engine. A more powerful battery maintains all of the model's accessories while it sits. When the driver lets off the brake, the car starts up again to drive away. There is even a button in the cabin to turn the ESS off, if desired.
The Jeep will be the first to receive ESS in the third quarter of this year to coincide with the start of production of the 2015 model-year version. The 200 will follow in the fourth quarter as a rolling change in production.
