NO Researve!
2006 Jeep Liberty CRD Diesel, 4x4 with lots of upgrades
I'm unloading just about everything because I am moving soon, two vehicles gone, and two more to go.
First, the bad, and the reason for the low price and no reserve.
Sunroof will open, but not close.  It is stuck open ~1".  It's been taped since it happened, and no water has gotten past the tape.  It's either the switch, or the motor, don't know which.  The tape comes off easily enough with a heat gun and mineral spirits to clean up the residue.
ABS is not working, this is a known issue.  The wiring harness that runs inside the floor breaks at the rear connector.  I have a new harness that will be included, but it is not installed.
Passenger side airbag fuse is pulled due to Recaro seats.  The factory seat uses an occupant sensor that is built into the seat, and the airbag light on the passenger grab bar, above the glove box, is illuminated if the fuse is in. 
There is a bit of loss of power, but I don't know why.  Check engine light is NOT on, there are no apparent leaks of anything anywhere.  It could be buildup in the valves and intake runners which can also happen with these if the PCV is left to vent directly into the turbo.  I moved the PCV vent into the airbox, so it pulls through the airfilter, but I did buy it used.
Minor damage to rear passenger door (see pics) thanks to another driver that required evasive maneuvers a couple years ago.
Passenger side strut stud is broken (I think).  The strut is not secured to the strut tower, but, I will include a NEW pair of Old Man Emu Struts.

So, it's not perfect, and needs a little work, but for all the work that's been done, it's still a great deal.


The Goods:
Old Man Emu 1.5" springs
Skyjacker front struts
Old Man Emu rear shocks $800

(5) New 215/85R16 Cooper ST tires, great in everything but deap mud
Suncoast Torque Converter $700
Transgo Shift Kit, 45RFE-HD2, $150
Mag-Hytec Deep Transmission Pan $300
Deep aluminum finned rear differential cover $150
Detroit TrueTrac rear differential $800 installed
NEW Turbo, less than 500 miles $800 installed
NEW SKF hubs, less than 500 miles $600 installed
Cross Drilled and Slotted Rotors
Ceramic Brake Pads
Green Diesel Engineering Tune, with programmer $900
Recaro leather seats from a Saline Mustang, these are pretty nice, and in excellent condition....I forget how much I paid
JVC Arnsenal Stereo
High Flow Exhaust, 2.5" aluminized from downpipe back
Dynomax muffler

There is a chance I missed something, because I've had it for a few years and have worked on it over time, but I think that's everything.  That's over $5000 in parts, with better ride and traction.

Check my feedback, if you're concerned about the one negative, maybe you should re-read it.  I cancelled the transaction because three weeks later, he still hadn't paid me.  It was supposed to be removed, looks like I need to make another call the the wonderful eBay help center.

Jeep Renegade pricing to start at $18,595?

Fri, 14 Mar 2014

While there's no shortage of excitement surrounding the new Jeep Renegade, one of the limiting factors to the little trucklet will be its price. With the Kia Soul starting at $14,900 and the Nissan Juke kicking off at $18,990, the Renegade can't afford to stray away from that price bracket.
And judging by some potentially leaked pricing info, it won't. A quick Google search of "Jeep Renegade Price" reveals (at least for now) that the Italian-built Jeep will start at $18,595. The "as shown" price of $25,895 seems to indicate the Trailhawk model shown on Jeep's consumer page.
If the $18,595 figure is correct, it's likely for the base, two-wheel-drive Sport model, with the Latitude and Limited trims falling somewhere between there and the $25,895 as-equipped price of the Trailhawk.

Government Ending Jeep Investigation

Tue, Jan 21 2014

The government is closing its investigation into older-model Jeeps with fuel tanks that could rupture and cause fires. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Friday it has "no reservations" with Chrysler Group's plans to recall the vehicles. The agency is expected to release a report on its investigation in a few weeks. The decision ends an unusually public struggle between Chrysler and NHTSA. The agency asked Chrysler to recall 2.7 million Jeeps last June, contending that their gas tanks - which are positioned behind the rear axle - were at risk of rupturing and catching fire in rear-end crashes. Involved were Grand Cherokee SUVs from the 1993 to 2004 model years and Liberty SUVs from 2002 to 2007. Chrysler initially refused to recall the vehicles. The company said the rate of fuel leaks and fires after crashes was similar to comparable vehicles that were sold during the time in question. It was the first time in two years that an automaker had refused NHTSA's request for a recall. Chrysler later agreed to recall 1.56 million of the Jeeps and install trailer hitches on them to help protect the gas tanks. The company sent notices to the remaining customers saying their vehicles were fine if they have factory-installed or Chrysler-made trailer hitches. NHTSA said late Friday that it has been in close contact with Chrysler and will monitor the recall as it continues. Chrysler has told customers that it will start installing the hitches soon. "Consumers should have their vehicles serviced promptly once they receive final notification from Chrysler,"NHTSA said in a statement. In its own statement Friday, Chrysler said, "We share NHTSA's commitment to safety." NHTSA's outgoing chief, David Strickland, told The Associated Press in an interview last month that Chrysler had convinced NHTSA that the Jeeps were no more dangerous than similar vehicles sold at that time. "Those vehicles performed at a rate similar to their peers. That is the keystone analysis as to whether something poses an unreasonable risk to safety," Strickland said. Friday was Strickland's last day at NHTSA. He is joining Venable, a law firm. NHTSA began investigating the Jeeps at the request of the Center for Auto Safety, a Washington-based advocacy group. "It is tragic that NHTSA approved Chrysler's sham trailer hitch recall for Jeeps that explode in rear impacts," the Center for Auto Safety's director, Clarence Ditlow, said Friday.

Jeep dealer buries WWII Willys GP in showroom floor

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

The Willys MB Jeep earned icon status during World War II thanks to its ruggedness, simplicity and go-anywhere ability. Following the war, it didn't take long for the handy vehicles to be scooped up by the public, and a brand slowly grew around the vehicles that has continued to thrive. Fast-forward to present day, where it's not uncommon for auto dealers to try to grab some of the magic of yesteryear by displaying classic models to connect customers with their brands' proud histories. Now, a Canadian Chrysler Group dealer is taking that notion to the extreme by actually making a vintage WWII Jeep part of its foundation.
Bay King Chrysler in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, recently completed its new showroom, and the franchise really wanted to show its dedication to the Jeep brand. As dealer principal Jamie Richter tells Autoblog, the inspiration for the Jeep installation came from his brother, who became fascinated with a home that had a glass floor looking down into its wine cellar. The company already had the 1943 Willys MB to display, but it had originally planned to build a jungle gym around it for customers' kids. Now, the classic is literally in the floor as customers enter. Richter tells Autoblog that customer reaction so far has been "fantastic."
It's certainly a novel way to bring people into the showroom, and seemingly a nice nod not only to Jeep, but to the men and women who served in the war. If you want to see more about how the Jeep was actually installed and what it looks like, check out this video.
