Why am I selling? Bought it to tow an Airstream that I've since sold. I have two other JGW's, and want to buy more, so need to make room.

This Jeep spent its entire life in California, before I shipped it back to the Midwest to restore.

Body and Paint:   This original Jeep retains its original body and paint from the factory.  All of the panels are rust free because of its SoCal ownership history.  The paint is amazing for its age and still holds a very high shine and gloss.  There isn't any evidence of previous paint touch up anywhere on the vehicle. The vinyl and trim were replaced, I used 1" trim. The door jambs and sills even are in great condition are free of any wear marks.   The driver’s door jamb still retains the factory vehicle info decal with vin number and other vehicle information.

Trim and Chrome:  The exterior trim and chrome are all intact and original to the vehicle. All trim holds a nice high quality chrome shine and free of any pitting.

Engine and Transmission:   The engine is the original 360 V-8 that the Jeep was built with and holds good oil pressure and runs nice and cool. The engine compartment is all original with factory emission tag, data tag and factory markings still in place.   The transmission operates flawlessly and shifts nice and crisp as it should. The 4x4 switch operates properly as well as the 4x4 low.  This GW runs nice and smooth with a quiet ride.   The exhaust system is in great condition also and does not need any work. I installed a Holly fuel pump to overcome the chronic Jeeps have. I had all fluids (radiator, oil, transfer case, differential) replaced. I installed an heavy duty radiator and trailer hitch. Brakes were rebuilt last year.

Interior: The leather seats would pass for a vehicle with 80,000 miles. I put a new headliner in a year ago. The carpet is the original deep shag and is in great condition with a few small wear areas. The door panels do not have any marks on them and fit like they did day one.  The dash, gauges, steering wheel, horn button, door handles, wood trim accents and balance of the interior are all in great original condition and have never been altered in any way. Stereo is a Sony AM/FM with CD player. I do have the original radio in a box that the Jeep was delivered with and that will go to the next owner.

Glass and Mirrors:   From what I have observed the glass is all original.  There aren’t any chips or stars in the windshield.   The side glass has had a minor tint applied because of its southern ownership history and I believe that aided in preserving the interior from sun fade and heat.  The rear power glass window in the tailgate operates correctly from either the dash mounted button or key function. This Jeep has the power mirror option for both drivers side and passenger side and they operated smooth and quiet.

Wheels and Tires:   All of the wheels are original and are in very nice condition.  They have the correct center caps and lug nuts.   The tires are high quality Hankook tires have <15K on them.

Terms of Sale:   I am selling the Jeep “as is” because vehicles of this age are. If you have the opportunity to see and drive this GW before the auction period expires, then I invite you to do so to truly appreciate the originality and excellent condition of this vehicle. I have offered a buy it now option to end the auction early and buy the Jeep. I have compared my buy it now price with comparable GW’s in this condition and feel it is very well priced.

Chrysler recalling 31k SUVs and vans

Fri, 06 Jun 2014

Chrysler is issuing recalls covering roughly 31,700 vehicles worldwide due to two separate problems. In both cases the company believes that most of the affected vehicles are either still on, or in transit to, dealer lots.
One recall covers roughly 10,700 Dodge Durango, Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee SRT models from the 2014 model year built between January 16 and April 17, 2014. The SUVs need a software update for the cruise control. It's possible that when the cruise is on and the driver presses on the throttle, the acceleration could last a second after the pedal is released or two seconds for the SRT. Afterward, they return to the speed originally set by the driver.
Chrysler says it isn't aware of any accidents, injuries or even reported incidents of this happening in the real world. Also, in all cases, if the driver presses on the brake, the cruise shuts off. The automaker believes that there are about 6,100 affected SUVs in the US, 950 in Canada, 425 in Mexico and 3,200 outside of North America. The software upgrade will be ready shortly, the company says.

FCA delays Grand Wagoneer and next-generation heavy-duty Ram trucks

Mon, Dec 12 2016

The upcoming Jeep Grand Wagoneer has had a tumultuous gestation thus far. At one point it was essentially confirmed, but later it was rumored to have been cancelled. In that context, the latest report from Automotive News is something of a mixed blessing. According to the publication, the Grand Wagoneer has simply been delayed, as has the next-generation Ram heavy duty truck line. This does not seem to affect the fully redesigned Ram 1500, which was previously reported to have been pushed back slightly to 2019. Automotive News says the information came from unnamed sources at the company. Nothing was said about how long the vehicles would be delayed. The publication also conjectures that FCA is delaying the models to save some money to help cover the company's $7 billion of debt , since re-tooling both the heavy-duty truck plant and eventual Grand Wagoneer plant will be expensive. View 6 Photos We reached out to Chrysler for more information on the subject, but the company wouldn't comment on the report. Even so, we wouldn't be too surprised if FCA is indeed delaying these products. The company has delayed a number of vehicles in recent years. In fact nearly every major FCA truck and SUV, including the Grand Wagoneer and Ram line, were delayed about a year and a half ago. We certainly hope the company doesn't delay the Grand Wagoneer for too long, since it's possible it will have a price tag of over $130,000. The profit margins on an SUV with that kind of MSRP would go a long way to helping to pay down the company's debt. Related Video:
