This beautiful and clean 1990 Grand Wagonner 4x4 is presented here for your consideration. This vehicle has been in my family for nearly 10 years. It has been meticulously maintained with love ever since our acquisition in 2004. It served as a weekend car (not for daily driving), thereby keeping the miles low. Just 69,540 actual miles. By keeping the car in a temperature controlled garage, we have kept the paint (and wood) looking fantastic. Owing to her age, nearly every mechanical component has been overhauled or replaced, at a significant financial investment. All of the records and receipts of these repairs have been kept. Despite being 13 years old, this car starts, idles, drives, turns, cruises and brakes without flaw. I have recently used it for multiple 200 mile trips to and from my summer home. This car is ready to drive anywhere in the country. The only reason for sale is that after 10 years it is time to move on. She's ready to find another loving home.
The many pictures really tell the story of this Grand Wagoneer. Upon looking them over, you will surely agree that it has been well cared for since new. A title history is available and there are NO title defects or history of any body or storm damage, insurance, salvage, repossession, rollback or anything else of concern. The 4x4 mode is working properly, so with just the flip of an interior switch you will find sure footing in snow or mud. Most of the time you will be in 2WD, thereby not unnecessarily using the strong 4x4 system. I've rarely used the 4WD but have recently tested that it works.
The engine compartment is well sorted, and the engine runs as it should, firing strong on all eight cylinders. The oil pressure gauge reads where it should and the automatic transmission shifts smoothly through all gears with NO slippage. A tow package was specified and there is an electrical connection in place. This high trim level model includes factory air conditioning (upgraded to modern specification), power steering and brakes, power windows and locks (all power windows and doors working properly), and powered tailgate glass (also working properly, which is rare on this model/year). Every interior switch and light has been brought up to as new standard. The power brakes work perfectly with no pulling or binding and she drives perfectly straight. Four (4) Michelin LTX AT 235/75R15's have been recently fitted (an expensive tire), with nearly all tread depth remaining (see pictures). Shock absorbers were also replaced at the same time. This Grand Waganeer has had a veritable multitude of of mechanical equipment replaced, including some expensive components. Recent work includes the carburetor, radiator, brakes, brake lines, alternator, electrical connections, battery, exhaust, steering, tie rods, AC compressor, oil pressure switch, dash glass, dash overlay, vent glass, tires, shocks, central electrical control module, accelerator pump, accelerator linkage, starter, ignition module, heater hoses, tail gate lifter, and more. All of this work has been performed during the the last 20k miles!
Partial list of new equipment/repairs:
- New alternator and electrical connections
- New battery
- New exhaust
- New AC compressor and upgrade to 134 coolant & charge (over $1500 invested in the A/C alone)
- New oil pressure switch
- New dash glass
- New dash overlay
- New vent glass
- New tires & shocks (over $1500 invested)
- New electrical control module
- Repaired accelerator pump & linkage
- New Starter
- New brake lines
- Carburetor Overhauled
- New ignition module
- New heater hoses
- New radiator (over $600 invested)
- New steering linkage and tie rod (over $700 invested, drives perfectly straight now)
- New tail gate lifter
- Power tail glass lifter repaired
The air conditioning system on this car has been completely redone and brought up to the most recent standard. Completely new compressor, seals, and charge. Over $1500 has been spent on the A/C alone.
ALL of the work has been done in the last 20k miles, much of it being just in the last 10k miles! The engine and mechanicals have all been very well maintained. A veritable fortune has been spent on new equipment and repairs. Most importantly all of the records of these repairs have been meticulously kept and will come with the car. Over forty pages of repair records are present.
There is minor rust near the wheel wells as pictured (which is expected on any car of this age). It is nothing that couldn't be easily repaired and repainted to brand new condition under a full restoration.
Please take a close look at the remarkable interior of this Jeep. Typically the leather and fabric on these are worn out, torn, or split, not on this one. Both front buckets are in excellent shape with no cracks, splits, or holes. The rear seats are in equally good shape, as are the door panels, headrests, and carpet throughout including the cargo area. Your passengers and guests will be surprised when they see it for the first time and notice that it has leather and power everything - a trendsetting classic with original amenities! The dash is also impressive, with clear gauges and electronic clock, all working flawlessly. There is also an factory overhead console with an electronics compass, thermometer, and map lamps, all working perfectly. If you are comparing this car to other restored Wagoneers, notice that this car does not have a moonroof, this is a good thing. The roof of a car is the absolute worst place to ad weight. The aftermarket moonroofs you'll find on some Wagoneers, present a failure point resulting in electrical problems and leaks, and actually reduce headroom (to make room for the components). You won't have any of those problems on this Wagoneer. The roof is as solid as it was when she left the factory with the original wood grain roof luggage rack is also present and undisturbed. Most importantly the original wood exterior siding (an irreplaceable part) is in pristine condition. The original radio has been upgraded to a modern JVC system with a theft-deterrent removable face and two auxiliary remotes included. Jennsen multi-way audio speakers are present throughout.
A timeless classic fun to drive and gets approving nods wherever she goes.
Thank you for your consideration and enjoy.

Ram, Jeep redesigns on hold, Alfa Romeo models may come sooner
Wed, Jun 3 2015Last summer, FCA outlined an ambitious five-year plan that sketched out the company's product intentions for each of its brands through the end of 2018. However, even the best strategies sometimes need tweaking. According to Reuters after speaking with unnamed people at auto suppliers, FCA is now possibly delaying at least a dozen projects in North America for a variety of reasons. From vehicle to vehicle, these postponements allegedly last anywhere from just a few months to over a year. The sources from the suppliers claim that in some cases these tweaks are for engineering and design changes. The next-gen Ram 1500 reportedly has among the shorter delays and is being pushed from mid-2017 to November 2017, according to Reuters. Also, the much-discussed future Jeep Wrangler is allegedly moving a little later to July 2017. Among the vehicles purportedly seeing longer delays, the next-gen Grand Cherokee could get pushed back about a year to 2018. That then forces the launch of the three-row, luxury Grand Wagoneer to be even further away. Jeep's upcoming C-segment CUV and the all-new Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Challenger might also see postponements. The one brand allegedly seeing an accelerated plan is Alfa Romeo. Without going into detail, the sources from these suppliers claim that the Italian automaker is getting even more vehicles for its lineup and could get them even faster than planned. "Those plans need to be flexible and fluid, with the potential to add some vehicles, pull some forward and extend the life cycle of others," FCA said to Reuters about all of these allegations. "We look at these programs on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis." Investment in the auto industry has been a major topic for FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne as of late. He believes consolidation is necessary so that companies aren't burning money on the same projects.

Daily Driver: 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited X Edition
Thu, Apr 9 2015Daily Driver videos are micro-reviews of vehicles in the Autoblog press fleet, reviewed by the staffers that drive them every day. Today's Daily Driver features the 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited X Edition, reviewed by Adam Morath. You can watch the video above or read a transcript below. Watch more Autoblog videos at /videos. VIDEO TRANSCRIPT Hi, I'm Adam Morath for Autoblog. Now, undoubtedly, one of the coolest things about this job is that you're in and out of so many different vehicles, but, I'll be honest, there are times where, if you're in very similar vehicles, they can start to run together a little bit. That's why I love getting into a car like this that just snaps you right out of it because it's so unique and so different from anything else on the market. Of course I'm talking about the Jeep Wrangler. I'm in a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. This is the X Edition, which stands for X Games. Jeep is a big title sponsor of the 2015 Aspen X Games and you can see that all over this vehicle. You have white, glossy accent plastic in the interior; mountain graphics throughout the interior and exterior of the vehicle – a nod, obviously, to the winter sports and skiing that you would do out in Aspen. And then in keeping with that mountainous theme, you have an Alpine nine-stereo speaker system. I'll be honest, though, that some of it feels a little overdone to me. For instance, there's a power-bulge in the hood. Credit to Jeep: the vents are actually functional, but this is not the trim I would go for, just personally. It's one of those vehicles that people are always wondering, "I really like the look of it [and] I like the capability, but could I live with a Wrangler?" It's the same sort of question you'll get from people who are looking at a sports car, "could I actually live with this is my daily driver?" And I have to say, Jeep has come a long way – Wrangler, in particular, has come a long way – in terms of driving comfort. Of course, don't expect "Lexus quiet." You can probably hear it's a big noisy in the cabin. It's a bit of a bumpy ride. There are things about this vehicle that I could see being annoying in your day-to-day life. For instance, the door: it's essentially an external hinge on the door, but it doesn't stay open for you. So, if you're on any sort of a tilt, the door will come back in and you have to just prop it open with your leg. Little things like that.
Going high-tech, the 4x4 way
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Is It An Off-Road Adventure Or Just A Walk In The Park?
I remember having to get out and lock hubs and shift into neutral to engage low range.
Coming off press previews of the 2013 Land Rover Range Rover and the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee that involved some heavy-duty off-road rock climbing, I'm simply amazed at the capabilities that these vehicles possess. But even more impressive (or troubling depending on your perspective) is the relative ease with which you can operate these vehicles in seemingly impossible terrain.
