About my Jeep: It's a 1997 Jeep Wrangler (TJ). This jeep is my daily driver and is almost completely stock. It has 1.5" spacers on the springs so that 31" tires will fit but that's not the size currently on it. The tires are in very good condition. It has stock wheels. This is a 4.0 liter, 6 cylinder / 5 spd manual transmission Jeep with cold A/C and hot heat! Makes this Jeep much more user friendly for a daily driver! I have driven it all over and have no concerns about it's reliability. It had the radiator, water pump and all hoses replaced within the last year. It also has a new distributor cap and rotor. New muffler and fuel pump March 2014. 4WD works as it should with no issues of any kind. The top is a couple of years old but has no damage and looks good. It only has the soft top and soft half doors (lower doors are steel). Soft top is only a couple of years old and has tinted windows in the rear. Paint is original and is starting to show it's age but is completely passable. I'd call it a "20 footer". It's got rock chips and such but no dents. A good detail man could bring most of it back (except the two faded spots on the hood.) This Jeep has ABSOLUTELY NO RUST ANYWHERE.

The pictures in this ad are all very recent so they accurately represent what the Jeep looks like.

To the best of my knowledge, I am the third owner. It still has the dealer sticker on it from '97 so I sure it's never been painted.

The seats are in good shape (no rips, burns or stains). The carpet is showing its age and could use replacement.

It has an aftermarket stereo head unit in it with aftermarket speakers in the stock sound bar.

The only real negative on the Jeep is the windshield is cracked. Has been since I bought it.

Current mileage is just over 150k but changes because this is my daily driver.

Jeep does Renegade Chinese-style with Zi You Xia design concept

Sat, 19 Apr 2014

As we mentioned, Jeep is bringing a quartet of concepts to the Beijing Motor Show this year. Its largest model, the Grand Cherokee, is nowhere to be found, but its smallest is. That, of course, would be the new Renegade, which has been done up as the Zi You Xia design concept.
Taking its name from the Mandarin word (or words) for "rebel," the Zi You Xia takes its inspiration from the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing, with a Warm Chocolate Gray paintjob with contrasting dark bronze trim. The roof, grille and mirror caps are color-keyed to match the rest of the exterior, riding on 20-inch alloys in the same dark bronze finish.
Inside it's all Piano Black, Anodized Copper and brown leather with plaid fabric inserts. Scope it out in the high-res image gallery above and the press release below.

This SEMA special drag race is absurdly awesome

Fri, Dec 5 2014

The SEMA Show came and went last month, and it showed us a ton of heavily modded goodies to dream about during the long, cold winter. The Motor Trend Channel on YouTube is keeping the party rolling a little longer, though, with a drag race inspired by the aftermarket event. All of the hosts were supposed to borrow a vehicle from the show for the big race, but only two of them actually cajoled companies into lending their wares. Still, the result includes four very cool and extremely different examples of the breadth of the automotive hobby. First up, there's a 1955 Chevrolet with a 535-cubic-inch (8.8-liter) Hemi V8 stuffed under the hood. Appropriately, it's dubbed the Blasphemi, and with skinny tires up front, fat rubber in the rear and a stripped interior, this this is made to go very fast in a straight line. Next, there's a stock Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat boasting 707 horsepower. Plus, host Jessi Lang has her dog riding shotgun for the race. A Chevy Sonic RS with some body mods, downpipe and intake is also competing. Finally, the most bizarre of the quartet is a custom 1958 Jeep Forward Control with a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and treads to replace the wheels. Obviously, the Blasphemi and Hellcat are the only two that really have a chance of winning, but check out the video to see which one crosses the finish line first.

100,000 Jeep Cherokee models subject to further 9-speed recalibration

Thu, 29 May 2014

It seems that the software problems with the nine-speed automatic gearbox in the Jeep Cherokee continue to mount. The programming already caused multiple development delays and even postponed the Cherokee's market launch by roughly two months. Now, Jeep has issued another recalibration to hopefully assuage unhappy drivers.
According to Automotive News, this reflash for the allegedly jerky transmission covers over 100,000 Cherokees built before May 5, but it's not technically a recall. If owners are having problems and complain to the dealer, they get the new software. Otherwise, they continue with the current version. New vehicles on dealer lots also receive the latest revision to the programming. It takes only around five minutes to install, but technicians need to take the Cherokee on a test drive to adapt the gearbox to the changes.
The Cherokee's transmission software has been problematic practically since the beginning. The Jeep plant in Toledo, OH, briefly idled its second-shift workers last year to take care of the issue. Since the launch issues for the crossover, demand has been strong. Jeep added another 1,000 temporary workers to the Toledo factory to keep up, and sales were on par with the Wrangler in just its first two months.
