A well-maintained early example of the Jeep Liberty Renegade featuring the very cool rooftop light bar. Prices on ebay suggest that a collectability factor accompanies this model.

Everything works. And both key fobs and owner's manual showing early service history are included.

This truck is fitted with an Australian ARB bull bar. It also has ARB/Old Man Emu shocks and springs providing a modest but useful 1+ 1/2 " lift. Mounted on the bull bar is a pair of PIAA driving lights.

It has the 5-spd manual transmission and 3.7L gasoline engine. The transmission is a Mopar (not aftermarket) reman that was installed Sept 2013 and came with a 100,000 mile warranty. Also new in Sept 2013: catalytic converter and transfer case shifter assembly. The clutch pack was replaced March 2014. The a/c compressor was replaced in August 2012, as were calipers, rotors, e-brake cable, exhaust system and outer tierod ends. 

The color is Cactus Green pearlcoat. It has an EVIC info center, unusual in a Renegade, providing compass, outside temp, distance to empty, mileage to service, accumulated mileage, instant mileage, trip odometer, and more. The head unit is a JVC with a Sirius module and several months remaining on the subscription.

Factory equipment includes the Skid Plate Group, Trailer Tow Group with a 2" receiver, the Active Lifestyle Roof Rack upgrade, 160 amp alternator, tinted glass, power fold-away mirrors, power sunroof, power locks, power driver's seat, power windows, fog lamps, tubular side steps, cruise control, six speakers, tilt steering column and the all-important grocery bag hooks (plus a lot of other stuff).

I have the service log showing that the original owner had the oil changed every 3,000 miles. I change the oil myself and have used Pennzoil Ultra 100% synthetic motor oil. Despite the 220,000 miles on the odo, the engine does not use more than a quart of oil in 1,500 miles, and in fact ran for 3,000 miles last winter without consuming any oil. A typical tank of fuel will average 18-20mpg. A high percentage of the mileage is of the over-the-road variety; my wife and I have driven it on National Parks vacations from Western NY to Oregon and the State of Washington, to California, to Maine, and to Georgia several times.

I had the undercarriage coated by Ziebart in November, 2012. There is a modest amount of rust bubbling along the bottom edge of the passenger doors and rocker panel, and on the inside of the rear door. The sale price includes clean right-side doors, rear door and rear glass I brought back from Atlanta, which are ready to paint and hang. A pair of brand-new struts for the rear glass is also included.

Next Jeep Wrangler spotted with 8-speed and EcoDiesel

Tue, Jun 21 2016

Although it may not look like it, there are big changes coming to the next-generation Wrangler. The 2018 model will use aluminum for weight savings, spawn a pickup version, and offer new engines. This latest set of spy images brings confirmation of two new powertrain items. The spy photos below show a Wrangler mule with the current interior and an eight-speed automatic shifter fitted in place of the old five-speed unit. (There's a comparison photo in the gallery.) The shifter design matches that of the refreshed Dodge Charger and Challenger; the final Jeep version is likely to differ, but this clearly indicates what kind of transmission is underneath. Chrysler builds eight-speed automatics from a ZF design and also uses some transmissions built by ZF. View 4 Photos While it's not visible in the photos, the unmistakable sound of a diesel was heard coming from this Jeep. The EcoDiesel V6 is expected to be available alongside a new turbocharged four-cylinder engine that is rumored to have the code name "Hurricane." The turbo four may completely replace the current gas V6 or be offered in addition. There's a good chance the eight-speed will also be paired with the Hurricane engine, since improved fuel economy is a goal for the new model across the board. We don't yet know whether a manual transmission will be offered again, but it's a pretty good bet for one of the gas engines since many diehard off-roaders prefer the ultimate control.

Jeep CEO a fan of pickup redux

Tue, Mar 10 2015

The idea of a Jeep pickup is a hardly a new concept. After all, putting a bed on the company's rugged off-roaders goes back to the '40s, not to mention the more recent Cherokee-based Comanche. There's a very slim chance that a truck could return to the lineup down the line if brand CEO Mike Manley gets his wish. "I remain a big fan of a Jeep pickup. I think we have history that says it belongs in our portfolio," Manley said to The Detroit News. However, there's no need to get any hopes up soon, because a truck doesn't get any mention in the brand's five-year plan. That puts the earliest possible introduction around 2019. Even Manley is tempering expectations. "At this moment and time, I have higher priorities. That doesn't mean to say that we don't work on it, we're not looking at it," he said to The Detroit News. The most likely candidate to support a future Jeep truck is the next-gen Wrangler, according to The News. The rest of FCA's pickups and SUVs are running at capacity, which makes slipping in another variant difficult. However, the future Wrangler is heavily rumored to get an expanded production facility in Toledo, OH, which could make things possible. Anonymous FCA insiders confirmed to Autoblog that the next-gen Wrangler would be offered with a 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 and eight-speed automatic. It's also reportedly using solid axles at the front and rear, a fixed windshield and an aluminum body. That could make for a very fun and practical off-roader. If reading all of this speculation gives you a twinge of deja vu, it should. After the Jeep Gladiator concept (pictured above), there were years of speculation about the brand bringing the pickup back. Even then the plan was for a compact truck to tackle that hole in the segment. It was even believed that the project had a green light for production seemingly with Sergio Marchionne's blessing. Then things were pushed back, and last year, the idea was officially quashed. Related Video:

Weekly Recap: GM scales back as Russian auto market teeters

Sat, Mar 21 2015

General Motors' extensive plans to scale back its Russian operations are the latest sign the automotive market in the former superpower is collapsing – and there are few signs of recovery. GM said Wednesday it will stop selling mainstream Chevrolets and shutter the entire Opel brand in Russia. The moves leave GM with a luxury-focused presence consisting of Cadillac and Chevrolet's Corvette, Camaro and Tahoe. The cutbacks will be completed by the end of the year. The automaker will also idle its factory in St. Petersburg and end a contract-assembly agreement with Russian manufacturer GAZ. "We had to take decisive action in Russia to protect our business," Opel Group CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann said in a statement. "We confirm our outlook to return the European business to profitability in 2016 and stick to our long-term goals." GM is the latest automaker to scale back in Russia as the economic conditions, volatile currency and uncertainty over the conflict in the Ukraine all have sandbagged new car sales. Last month, vehicle sales collapsed 38 percent in Russia to 128,298 units, according to the Association of European Business, which records sales. Joerg Schreiber, chairman of the AEB automobile manufacturers committee, didn't even feign optimism in a statement announcing the figures. "The market is entering a very difficult phase now, and February is only the beginning," he said. "Industry sentiment is the next few months will be extremely difficult and the market bottom has yet to be found." The dovetails with industry experts, who predict the Russian auto sector will remain in the doldrums. IHS said earlier this year it expects Russia's sales to slip to just 1.8 million units in 2015, which is a 40-percent drop from 2012. Other News & Notes Chief leads Jeep's Easter Safari stable Jeep is bringing seven attention-getting concepts to Moab for its annual Easter Safari off-roading celebration in Utah, but the Chief is perhaps the standout of the group. It salutes the 1970s Cherokee with a throwback appearance and surfer styling cues. The Chief has a custom modified razor grille made famous by the Wagoneer, and it rolls on 17-inch slotted mag wheels. The surf theme comes in with ocean blue paint, floral cloth and leather seats and a tiki-style shifter handle. Based on the Jeep Wrangler, the Chief has removable sides, a 3.6-liter V6 engine and a six-speed manual gearbox.
