1986 Jeep Grand Wagoneer! Awesome Shape! on 2040-cars
Bowling Green, Kentucky, United States
I am third owner of this Wagoneer. The first owner had it for about a year and sold it to a gentleman in California who owned it for many years. I bought it from him when he became too ill to to drive it. Since owning it, I had it professionally enhanced with removal of the California restrictive equipment, and general engine rebuild with Quick-fuel tech 4bl carb and Edelbrock top end and air cleaner, Headman ceramic lined headers, new exhaust, aluminum radiator,, electric fan, aluminum washer reservoirs, A/C conversion, and ceramic brakes. I had the front and rear bumpers removed and chromed along with the front grill. The radio has been changed out to an Alpine system with i-pod connectivity and Blue-tooth for telephone. I have installed a remote keyless entry. Power windows and doors all work, the header is new. Basically this is an awesome ride! Again, all work has been professionally done here in Bowling Green (Corvette City) where mechanics take their work seriously. The original speedometer went out around 83k and replaced. I have it with me. The only problem that I have with her is that when we installed the remote keyless entry, evidently we created a parasitic drain on the battery. This is not a problem if you drive it often, but if you don't, I installed a toggle switch under the dash to cut off the circuit. Take a look at "Buttercup" she's a good ride and a lot of fun. I am building a new home and I simply do not have the space to keep her in new location. Otherwise, she has been kept in a climate controlled garage and has no rust.

Next Jeep Wrangler to keep solid axles
Mon, Feb 16 2015Jeep fans, you're not out of the woods yet, but the latest news is good: Automotive News reports that the next-generation Wrangler will stick with floating solid axles front and rear. Fiat-Chrysler wouldn't comment on the report, but the theory is that the combination of cost, capability, and ease of modification were deciding factors. We're sure the multibillion dollar aftermarket industry is also pleased. Remember, Jeep showed off the lifted Cherokee Dakar Concept at the Easter Jeep Safari last year, but the first ingredient in the recipe for jacking up its independent suspension was, "a whole new suspension." Above that there will be an aluminum body that's smaller than the current one, which Allpar says could be done with a narrower track and tighter gaps. It will sport a fixed windshield with increased rake to improve aero efficiency, and while there are rumors of a diesel-engined version that we'll finally get in the US, there's been no reliable info as of yet to back that up.

Jeep idles second shift it hired a month ago for 2014 Cherokee
Tue, 24 Sep 2013In an unusual move, Chrysler is idling its recently hired second shift of 2014 Jeep Cherokee builders because, Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson said in a statement, it already has built the "critical number of vehicles we need to stock dealerships once containment is released," Automotive News reports.
After the "critical" 9,430 Cherokees were built, the layoff was enacted so as not to strain the automaker's logistics partners before the Cherokee is actually released. Chrysler says the temporary layoff will last about two weeks, with 500 workers out of work and another 600 reassigned at the Toledo Assembly Complex where the sports utility vehicle was being built. The second-shift workers were hired on August 19.
Chrysler previously insisted that it would release the Cherokee to dealerships by the end of the third quarter, and it initially planned to start selling the SUVs in mid-August. Apparently the Cherokee needed a software fix before hitting showrooms, which is how Chrysler explains why the release schedule is out of whack. We're thinking that this software fix addresses the "powertrain calibration" issue that delayed the first media test drives of the model. According to the Toledo Blade, Chrysler has admitted it is doing "extended quality validation testing" but refused to provide more information.
Happy 50th birthday, Jeep Wagoneer
Thu, 02 May 2013
The Wagoneer got the SUV on the radar of buyers looking for something capable, comfortable and rugged.
The Jeep Wagoneer was introduced 50 years ago, and it's that vehicle we have to thank for the herds of excellent crossovers and SUVs that make up our current automotive landscape. On a personal level, I have always loved the full-size Jeeps and their crisp Brooks Stevens styling, which aged well over their long tenure on the market. The SJs, as they're known among enthusiasts, were the Wagoneer and its two-door counterpart, the original Cherokee. The Wagoneers had become true luxury vehicles by the end of their run, which stretched form late 1962 as a '63 model all the way to 1991, when they were offered exclusively under the Grand Wagoneer nameplate.
