1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, 4X4 with 5.9 L engine, V8. 184,807 miles. The body is real straight, no dents or rust. The vehicle was parked in a man's driveway for several years and that is where I got the Jeep. I thought it would make a good unit for someone to refurbish or use as a hunt vehicle. By being parked in the weather for several years it has damaged the exterior finish. The clear coat is pretty much off the most exposed areas of the body to the sun. The paint is still there, but does not have a good shine. I tried to get the right pictures to let you see what I am talking about. Some areas of the wood grain inserts have sun damage as can been seen in the pictures, also.

When I took possession of the Jeep, it had several issues to be addressed, so I did some minor repairs to get it back road worthy. 
Here is a list of the things that I have done to the Jeep. 
New brake booster, new front brake pads, turnned rotors, new rear brake shoes, new rear wheel cylinders, new fluid and bleed the brakes. 
New ignition wires, new distributor cap, new sensor in distributor. 
Rebuild the two barrell carburator, set timing. 
Rebuild the radiator and put new anti-freeze in system. 
Changed filter and oil in the transmission. 
Checked air condition and charged the system, holds a good 45 degree temperature. 
Replaced one side window track from motor. All windows were lubricated, including the rear tailgate window, and now work properly.
The Jeep can be seen in Shelby, NC or I will be glad to send any additional pictures to assist in your decision. 
The only things that I know that does not work on the Jeep are: the rear window defogger, the stock radio, 
You may call for more information or pictures.

2014 Jeep Cherokee

Thu, 19 Sep 2013

The Cherokee Is Dead. Long Live The Cherokee.
There are three sentences that, for this reviewer, define what needs to be conveyed about the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. The first: it is very good.
Jeep spent 27 years building the Cherokee and its brand, from 1974 to 2001. Twelve years ago, the Cherokee nameplate rolled away into the distant hills and retirement, at least here in the NAFTA colonies, and it was replaced by a loaded word we knew as "Liberty."

Jeep gunning to build 250,000 Cherokees a year

Thu, 21 Mar 2013

Contrary to what a certain politician may have said last year about Jeep moving to China, the automaker is in fact doing the opposite, with plans to greatly increase the production capacity at its Toledo North Assembly plant in Ohio. The Detroit Free Press is reporting that there are big plans for the 2014 Jeep Cherokee and Toledo North, as a local union president has informed the newspaper that Chrysler is planning to produce around 250,000 examples of the new midsize utility per year.
To put this number into context, 250,000 units is more than what Jeep Liberty sales totaled here over the last three years combined. Even taking into consideration that the 250,000 units will be distributed beyond US borders, that's an ambitious volume figure full-stop - and that's without taking into consideration the new Cherokee's love/hate design. In its favor, though, Jeep is making remarkable inroads globally as of late, and the Cherokee's size could work well in emerging markets. To get that kind of output from Toledo's Cherokee assembly line, Chrysler will reportedly hire 1,105 new workers - that's in addition to the 200 workers already being hired to build the popular Jeep Wrangler, which is itself expected to top 220,000 units this year.

Jeep Wrangler diesel likely after 2015 model refresh

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

We automotive journalists aren't always the right people to ask about whether a US-spec vehicle should or should not be offered with a diesel powertrain (hint: the answer is usually "YES"). But when it comes to the iconic, off-road-ready Jeep Wrangler, we aren't the only ones who have been clamoring for an oil-burning engine behind that famous seven-slat grille. To that end, it appears there's good news on the horizon, as Jeep CEO Mike Manley recently told Ward's Auto that the "Wrangler is on the radar to get (a) diesel."
"I'm confident that the Grand Cherokee will show just how large a demand there is for diesel, and I think what that will do is reinforce the need for us to target Wrangler as a vehicle that can take a diesel," Manley told Ward's. The most rugged of Jeeps is scheduled to get an overhaul around 2015-16, and the diesel powertrain will likely be introduced around that time.
This year alone, Chrysler will be adding a diesel engine to the Grand Cherokee SUV, as well as the Ram 1500 pickup and Promaster utility van.
