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.

New England Patriots player helps driver of rollover crash

Tue, Jan 20 2015

Winning the AFC Championship game to guarantee a spot in the Super Bowl would be a pretty major accomplishment for most people in a day. However, just hours after the victory, New England Patriots defensive tackle Vince Wilfork showed what he could do off the field, when he helped save a woman from an overturned car. Though, the player remained modest about what happened. Wilfork and his wife were driving home late at night when they spotted a flipped Jeep near Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA. Surveillance video showed Wilfork pulling over and running to the vehicle's aid to be among the first on the scene. Finding a woman trapped inside, Wilfork told her, "Don't panic," and according to Massachusetts State Police, the 325-pound player simply reached his arm into the vehicle and lifted the woman out to save her. She was later charged with driving under the influence. Hear Wilfork's description of what happened in the video above.

Jeep Chief and Wrangler Red Rock Responder teased ahead of Easter Jeep Safari

Thu, Mar 12 2015

Jeep is being coy about it's lineup for the 2015 Moab Easter Jeep Safari, releasing just a pair of shots and an exceptionally brief press release on two of the seven concepts coming to the desert later this month. So, what can we glean from the limited assets that have been given to us? Well, as we said, we know Jeep is bringing seven vehicles to its big festival. We also know the names of two vehicles, shown above – there's the Chief and the Wrangler Red Rock Responder. Which is which? A fair question. We're betting the second image is the Wrangler-based Red Rock Responder. As for the Chief, well, we've absolutely no idea what to expect there. Jeep's Moab concepts generally include the model name on which their based – see the Grand Cherokee Trail Warrior and Cherokee Dakar from last year, or even the Wrangler Red Rock Responder, mentioned above. There's no such moniker on the Chief. As for the Chief's illustrated teaser image, as we said, it doesn't reveal much. The body is angular, and quite Jeep like, with squared-off wheel arches and decidedly old-school taillights. Beyond that, though, we don't have much to go on. Expect much more not just on the Chief and Red Rock Responder, but on all seven of the concepts Jeep is bringing to Moab. The party starts on March 28 and runs until April 5. Be sure to check back then for full coverage. Related Video:
