The following is the most accurate description breakdown of the Jeep:
Mechanical Operation/Function: 10/10
This thing performs wonders off road, with a fresh long arm suspension kit, it will out-articulate and out-crawl most other Jeeps. The engine runs extremely strong with plenty of low end torque. Engine doesn't knock, tick or consume oil, and gets routine oil changes at 3K miles. The axles were gone through this spring to ensure that the air lockers were operational and the internal components were safe and sound. Both lockers work and makes the truck extremely capable off road. Unlike other Jeeps, this thing drives tight with no loose front end parts, "death wobble" or choppy ride. The long arm kit not only provides optimal off road performance, but a better street ride as well.
Exterior Aesthetics: 6.5/10
Moving onto the exterior of the truck. Rust-wise, this thing is spotless, and is exactly what you would expect from a Montana truck. As far as the body is concerned, it is once again rust-free and structurally sound. There are some minor "bumps and bruises" from normal/off-road use, but nothing major. Minor rock chips, a couple dings here and there, and light scratches from branches and leaves are to be expected. While the Jeep may not win an award at your local car show, it cleans up and shines with little to no effort, and is a great dual purpose rig! Truck is equipped with a Genuine Mopar tan soft top that is in excellent shape and has no fading, rips or tears. The bumpers and rock sliders are considered "rock armor" and have been used. Expect some missing paint on the black armor parts and skid plates.
Interior Aesthetics: 8/10
Now onto the interior, grey in color. The dash is in excellent shape, and all the radio/heat/AC knobs and buttons work great. The ARB air locker switches are mounted in the center of the dash and are operable. There are no cracks or missing pieces to the dash. All gauges work as well as the steering wheel controls. The seats are in good shape for being 15 years old. Each front seat does have some cracking/separation in the vinyl right where your butt slides on/off. Aside from the typical "buttrub" on the edges, the seats are in great shape with no other rips, tears or holes. The carpet was removed so dirt/mud wouldn't sit and hold moisture or nasty smells. The floor boards are in excellent shape as well with no rust. The truck is equipped with a Tuffy full security console and the truck also has an aftermarket Sony head unit with USB and AUX inputs.

And with 113,xxx miles, the 4.0L is just breaking in. Also, after every single wheeling outing, the tires and wheels were removed, and the underside was pressure washed inside & out (Frame flush included). This truck has never been "ridden hard and put away wet," I have taken a great amount of pride in it and like my stuff looking its best.
Thanks

NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey
Wed, 09 Jan 2013The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.
2.1 million vehicles recalled again over faulty airbags
Sat, Jan 31 2015Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Honda and Toyota will recall 2.1 million vehicles to fix faulty airbag modules "after the manufacturers' original attempts to fix the defects proved ineffective in some vehicles." These vehicles had all previously been recalled, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that the airbags could still potentially malfunction. This recall will cover Acura MDX, Dodge Viper, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Honda Odyssey, Pontiac Vibe, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Matrix and Toyota Avalon models made in the early 2000s. NHTSA has reportedly received about 40 reports of airbag deployment in such vehicles, even though the vehicle had not been involved in a crash. Roughly one million of these same vehicles, all from Honda and Toyota, are also subject to recalls due to faulty Takata airbag modules, though this particular recall is for "an electronic component manufactured by TRW" that is separate from the actual airbags from Takata. According to NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind: "This is unfortunately a complicated issue for consumers, who may have to return to their dealer more than once. But this is an urgent safety issue, and all consumers with vehicles covered by the previous recalls should have that remedy installed. Even though it's a temporary solution until the new remedy is available, they and their families will be safer if they take the time to learn if their vehicle is covered and follow their manufacturers' instructions. A hassle is much better than a family tragedy." If you're the owner of an affected car, expect to hear more from the official automaker and government channels in short order. In the meantime, we'd suggest getting your car checked and fixed at your local dealer. The official statement and recall information can be found below. Previously Recalled Vehicle Remedies Not Working as Designed; NHTSA Announces Follow up Recall of 2.12 Million Cars and SUVs Saturday, January 31, 2015 Contact: Gordon Trowbridge, 202-366-9550, Public.Affairs@dot.gov WASHINGTON – U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx announced today the recall of more than 2.12 million Acura, Dodge, Jeep, Honda, Pontiac, and Toyota vehicles for a defect that may cause airbags to deploy inadvertently. The recalls will provide vehicle owners with a new remedy after the manufacturers' original attempts to fix the defects proved ineffective in some vehicles.
Certain Chrysler owners eligible for buyback program
Mon, Jul 27 2015Certain car owners whose Chrysler vehicles contain dangerous defects will soon have a way to get rid of their lemons without losing money. As part of an agreement with federal regulators, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has agreed to buy back more than 500,000 vehicles susceptible to veering out of control without warning at above market-value prices. The deal mainly covers certain models of RAM trucks, the Dodge Dakota pickup and Dodge Durango SUV. Further, owners of more than 1.5 million Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokees at heightened risk for lethal fires are eligible to trade in their vehicles at above market value or, alternately, get a gift certificate if they prefer to have repairs made. Chrysler has "a heavy responsibility to make sure the products they make are safe for the traveling public," said Mark Rosekind, administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. "... Here, we are sending an unambiguous signal to industry that if you skirt the laws or violate the law, or don't live up to the responsibility that consumers expect, we are going to penalize you." The buy-back and trade-in options for motorists come as part of an unprecedented penalty NHTSA slapped against Chrysler for violating federal motor-vehicle safety laws. Chrysler will pay a $105 million fine, the highest ever levied by the regulatory agency. In addition to the buy-backs, Chrysler also agreed to an independent monitor for three years. Investigators had outlined problems in the company's conduct in 23 recalls that affected more than 11 million defect vehicles. As part of a consent-order agreement, Chrysler acknowledged it did not notify vehicle owners of recalls in an effective manner and did not notify NHTSA of safety problems. Though those recalls affected millions of drivers, the buy-back and trade-in options are only for a small portion of the vehicles involved. Because Chrysler struggled to fix the problem and no repair was apparent, Rosekind said the buy-backs are reserved "for customers who didn't have a remedy." Buy-backs are for trucks and SUVs affected by three recalls that occurred in 2013 (recalls 13V-038, 13V-527 and 13V-529), that addressed a rear-axle pinion nut that could come loose and cause a loss of vehicle control. Those recalls covered 579,228 vehicles, including 2009-2012 Ram 1500, 2500, 3500, 4500 and 5500 trucks, 2009-2012 Dodge Dakotas, 2009 Chrysler Aspen and the 2009 Dodge Durango.
