 1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer
We have owned this great Wagoneer since 2009. It was restored by Classic Grand Wagoneers outside of Dallas, Tx. They are no longer in business but did great work.
This Wagoneer has 88,676 ACTUAL miles. In the photos you will see the Carfax from when I bought it in 2009 showing just over 41,000 miles. When I registered it in New Mexico DMV assumed it was over 100,000 miles since it just has a 5 digit odometer. I have tried and tried to get them to change it but they just don’t want to. I promise and swear this is the Actual milage!
I paid 15K for it in 2009, needless to saw this rig was like new when we bought it. We drive it, we live on a ranch and it has been our go to town ride so it now has some light scratches and rock chips from dirt roads.
We have made some improvements to the performance of this Wagoneer. It is no longer dull and sluggish as they are known to be. We put an Edelbrock intake and 4 BBL carb on it, Doug Thorley headers and a Jardin exhuast and most of the anti-pollution junk seems to have fallen off. This Waggy hauls ass and sounds great all while improving the MPG.We also added HID headlights and replaced the fog/road lights.
The interior is pretty much perfect! No rips, no smells, carpet is rich and deep and the leather is supple.
The exterior is really nice other than a few rock chips along the rockers.
Even the back window and door work!
Only five years from being fully restored this Wagoneer is still in super nice shape and needs nothing!

The not so good...A few months ago we had a flat, while changing the tire it rolled off the jack and got a dent in the tailgate from teh jack handle as seen in the photo. It does not affect the working of the rear window or door.

AEV Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon

Fri, 28 Feb 2014


After their rented 2007 Hummer H3 failed them during the brutal Rallye Aicha des Gazelles in Morocco, Amy Lerner and her sister Tricia Reina were on a quest to find the most capable production off-roader for their next competition - they chose a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. Their next mission was to find a company with the competence to configure it to win. After poring over Internet forums and perusing countless magazines for an outfitter who could meet their demanding requirements, they sent their bright orange JK ("Crush" is the official color) to American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) for some modifications.
The Michigan-based team at AEV kept the Jeep's 3.6-liter V6 and automatic transmission stock, but replaced the hood with a tall AEV Heat Reduction Hood and added an AEV Snorkel Kit for water crossings (it serves double-duty as its raised height helps to keep the air intake out of the kicked-up dust on the trail). Front and rear off-road bumpers were bolted in place, and AEV skid plates were added to provide additional undercarriage protection. A pair of IPF-900 off-road lights improve visibility, while a 10.2-gallon AEV Fuel Caddy (located behind the exterior spare) added some range. The suspension was upgraded with a 3.5-inch lift kit with Bilstein remote reservoir shocks, and 35-inch Falken Wildpeak A/T tires (LT285/70R17) were mounted at all four corners on AEV's beadlock wheels.

NHTSA investigating power modules on Chrysler Group SUVs and minivans

Mon, 29 Sep 2014

The Center for Auto Safety is officially petitioning the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to begin scrutinizing alleged problems with the totally integrated power module (TIPM) on about 24 Chrysler Group SUVs and minivans. The advocacy group claims that the part's failure can cause affected vehicles to stall or not start at all. NHTSA is still looking into the accusations and deciding whether a full investigation is actually warranted.
The CAS petition claims at least 70 TIPM failures, but according to NHTSA, six of the complaints are for models that don't have the modules. In 34 of the reported cases, the vehicles refused to start, and in 17 of them the engine stalled. There were also two allegations of smoke and one of a fire. However, none of these affected airbag deployment or resulted in a crash.
This petition isn't the first TIPM-related problem for Chrysler Group. A recent report in the New York Times alleged that it found 240 complaints potentially related to the issue on NHTSA's website alone. In September, the automaker also recalled 230,760 examples worldwide (188,723 in the US) of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango replace the fuel pump relay circuit inside of the TIPM-7 with one external to the unit. The original part could allegedly cause the models to stall without warning. Even earlier, the company also recalled about 80,000 examples of the Jeep Wrangler and Dodge Nitro in 2007 to have the module reprogrammed.

Chrysler uses Super Bowl spots to honor troops, farmers

Sun, 03 Feb 2013

How do you follow up such revered and successful ads as Chrysler's last two Super Bowl commercials? Imported from Detroit and Halftime in America should be given credit for giving the automaker's public perception a complete overhaul after its rescue from the brink with taxpayer money. What next, then?
We just found out during Super Bowl XLVII. This year Chrysler went with two commercials, one for Jeep and the other Ram. The two-minute-long Jeep commercial, called Whole Again, is narrated by Oprah Winfrey and presented as an open letter to the service men and women of America, simply expressing admiration for what they do - poignant message coming from a company whose history is so entwined with that of the military's.
The Ram commercial, called Farmer, honors the agricultural backbone of this country. Its soundtrack is a speech entitled "So God Made a Farmer" given by the famous radio broadcaster Paul Harvey, which plays over a slideshow of original photography commissioned by Ram. The images, of course, focus on farming and the people who do it for a living, and there's a few Ram trucks in there, as well.
