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.

Injuries/Deaths: None that FCA is aware of. If you own one: FCA suggests owners use their parking brakes when exiting the vehicle. Affected customers will be notified when they may schedule service. More information: An additional 2,095 vehicles in Canada, 538 in Mexico, and 2,472 outside the NAFTA region are also affected by this recall. Questions?

Jeep Grand Cherokee redesign delayed

Sat, Jun 27 2015

The launch of the next-gen Jeep Grand Cherokee is being now being pushed back until late 2018 or even into 2019, Jeep CEO Mike Manley indicated Friday, according to Automotive News citing a Reuters report. Under the original five-year plan, the SUV was supposed to be replaced in the third quarter of 2017. That would have made for a big year for Jeep with a refreshed Renegade and new Wrangler also slated for 2017. A delayed Grand Cherokee could send ripples through Jeep's product plans. The three-row Grand Wagoneer is meant to give the brand a vehicle to take on the Land Rover Range Rover, but it's supposed to use the same platform as the Grand Cherokee. This change is rumored to push that important model's launch further back. There's less uncertainty when it comes to the next-gen Wrangler. Manley said that the model was "broadly on track," according to Automotive News. The five-year plan aimed for a launch in the second quarter of 2017. Controversy, however, has swirled over possible plans to move the Wrangler from its longtime Toledo, OH, factory. One problem Jeep doesn't have to worry about right now is sales. According to Automotive News, Manley said volume was up 20 percent globally and could reach 1.2 million by the end of the year. He also indicated the brand was "on pace" to reach its 1.9-million-vehicle goal for 2018. The Grand Cherokee delay comes in the wake of rumors that FCA US is shuffling around its previous five-year vehicle launch plan to postpone several models. Related Video:
