This is an awesome Jeep. I have took this thing on a handful of trail rides (Utah, Tierra Del Sol, and locally twice) and what a capable vehicle! This jeep will go up anything!! Here are some of the things I really love about this Jeep and so will you!

- The new Pentastar V6. 285 HP! That is 83hp over the last year's motor. What a difference!

- New and Improved 5 speed automatic transmission. One extra gear than the last years Jeep with a lower first gear and closer ratio. This makes for much better drivability on and offroad. You definitly want to buy a 2012 or up Jeep for these two reasons. Its a whole new world.

- When I went on the Tierra Del Sol trail ride, it was a blast. All the jeeps I was following were older with their tops off. The drivers were having fun too but they were sweaty and had a nice layer of dirt covering themselves. I had the top on so I was in full AC, with my favorite music jamming. This makes trail rides so comfortable which is especially important if you plan on bringing the wife and/or kids. The older jeeps had to get a good run at many of the climbs to have momentum to offset their low power. Not this 2012. Plenty of power and traction to take it nice and slow. Stopping and starting on the steep with no problems. 

- I put 35" Toyo Open Countrys on this jeep. They have approx 10K miles on them. I chose 35s because that is the largest tire you can install and keep the drivetrain stock. This was very important to me for warranty reasons of course and also reliabilty. In my experience, OEM always bests aftermarket in the reliabilty dept. 

- To fit 35's, you need a lift. I chose the Teraflex 3" lift with their front lower arms and rear upper arms. This is a great riding lift and allows you to adjust the pinion angles. I also chose to upgrade to Fox shocks for their better ride.

- I installed a Warn Powerplant winch. This is the coolest winch out there and pricey too at $1700 bucks. It is cool because besides being a capable Warn winch, it also has a nice air compressor built right in. Very clean, very usable. If you want to do some real trail rides, you gotta be able to air up after you air down. Airing down increases your traction dramatically and also smooths out a very bumpy ride. 

- It has a very clean LoD front bumper. It allows the winch to be mounted low, out of the radiator air stream (no overheating) and looks cool doing it. It also allows for a better approach to rocks and stuff for the front tires.

- It has a synthetic winch rope. This is very nice for winching and takes considerable weight off the car. 

- It has customized Spider rock rails. These look cool, protect your jeep and are tucked up nice and high. I customized them by cuttin a new solid panel of aluminum that replaces the original panel with holes. I didnt want rocks and mud flying up through those holes and piling up above the rails. I think this is an improvement and you wont see rails like this on another jeep. 

- It has TeraFlex's new, HD hinged carrier which allows the rear door to support the extra weight of a 35" spare tire. This is an awesome product. It allows you to access you rear door directly without having to swing away a spare tire carrier first. Many of those spare tire carriers rattle and squeak too which is one of my pet peeves. 

- The white body with white top and fenders keeps the jeep cooler when it is sitting out on the trail with the motor off and is easier to keep clean. Those black tops and fenders start turning white after a while. I also chose the tan leather interior to keep the temp down and plus I think that color scheme looks the best. 

This is the perfect Jeep for trail rides and just enjoying summer with the top off. It has the freedom top which can be removed in parts. You can take it all off or just pop the two panels off over the fronts seats or my preference, remove the rear and leave the panels on over the driver and pass seats. The top is nice a quiet on the road and does not leak at all. 

I am selling this jeep because we are buying a new house and need to get my debt to income ratio down. I will likely buy another one just like this in a couple years after we get into the new place. Next time I will buy one used just like this to save some dough. 

This jeep did have the heads replaced at the dealership about 10K miles ago. This was a common problem with these Pentastars in the 2012 and this has been rectified and I do have the reciepts.

In the pics you will notice some small marks in the paint on the right rear fender. I just noticed them today and the look like they will buff out easily. I plan to have this done this coming week. You will also notice some dings and the inside of the rear door. They are small and I do not plan on fixing them since they are rarely seen. You may also notice some small white dots on the bumper and winch. I rubbed out a few of them with a litle elbow grease so they do come off. I will have these removed as well and the rusty winch leader allen bolts will be replaced. 

I do have a clean title in hand (borrowed some money to pay it off so the transaction would be easy)

Feel free to contact me for questions or to come and inspect and test drive before bidding. You wont be disapponted. I will get it on a lift within the next few days and add pics of the undercarriage to my Flickr account.

Update...

First of all, I forgot to mention some of the basics. This jeep runs perfect like you would expect from a 2012 with 20K miles and rides real nice. It tracks nice and straight and cruises on the freeway easily. The title is clean and it has never been in an accident of any kind. The oil has been changes religiously and I have the records for that. 

I have posted one pic of the underside on this listing and more pics on Flickr. It is nice and clean. No dents. There is also an updated pic of the bumper without the "dots". 

You may notice the tire support under the spare tire. This is a custom part I made a while back when I had the stock spare tire carrier. It isnt really needed now with the Terra Flex carrier but I left it on. I will probably remove this before it sells unless someone really wants it.

FCA recalling 323,000 cars for wiring, software issues

Mon, Jul 25 2016

The Basics: Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) is conducting a voluntary recall for an estimated 323,361 cars in the US. The affected vehicles were built after September 23, 2014 and include: the 2015 Chrysler 200, Ram ProMaster City, Jeep Renegade, and 2014 and 2015 Jeep Cherokees. The Problem: An insufficient crimp in the vehicles' wiring harness may result in a solenoid fault code, which could cause the engine to stop. The loss of power could lead to an accident. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: FCA will update the affected vehicles' software and replace wire harnesses, as needed. According to FCA, owners that experience the problem can temporarily resolve the issue by restarting the vehicle. If you own one: FCA is reaching out to owners to schedule a service. Related Video: Statement: Wire Harness Crimp July 22, 2016 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 323,361 vehicles in the U.S. to update certain software and replace wire harnesses, as needed. An examination of warranty data led to an FCA US investigation that discovered an insufficient crimp in a wire harness. Such a crimp may lead to a solenoid fault code that can cause propulsion loss. The Company is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. Most vehicles in the recall population will not experience this fault code over their lifetimes. However, should the condition occur, it can typically be temporarily resolved by stopping the vehicle and re-starting its engine. Accordingly, FCA US urges customers to heed the instructions on their recall notices. Affected are certain model-year 2015 Chrysler 200 midsize sedans, Ram ProMaster City small vans, Jeep Renegade and Cherokee SUVs. Certain model-year 2014 Cherokees are also affected. A change made in the harness-manufacturing process eliminates the need to recall any vehicle built after Sept. 23, 2014. An estimated 35,511 additional vehicles in Canada are included in the campaign; as are 7,067 in Mexico; and 43,927 outside the NAFTA region. Customers will be advised when they may schedule service. Those with questions may call the FCA US Customer Care Center at 1-800-853-1403. News Source: FCAImage Credit: AOL Recalls Chrysler Jeep RAM FCA jeep renegade ram promaster city

GMC boss wants a Jeep Wrangler rival

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

Challengers come and challengers go, but the Jeep Wrangler continues to push forward even after vehicles like the Toyota FJ Cruiser and the entire Hummer brand have been shut down. Now GMC reportedly wants to take a stab at the quintessential Jeep, as well.
The news comes directly from Buick-GMC vice president Duncan Aldred, speaking with our compatriots over at Edmunds. Although Aldred said there are no plans currently on the table to expand GMC's lineup beyond the current range, "there is plenty of room everywhere in the hierarchy."
That could include a rival to the Wrangler, as well as a flagship luxury SUV positioned above the current Yukon Denali (pictured above). Just when (or for that matter, if) such models might come into fruition remains a big question mark, but it's certainly interesting to see what GM's dedicated truck brand has on the drawing board.

Fiat Chrysler posts record Q3 profit thanks to U.S. trucks and Jeep

Wed, Oct 28 2020

MILAN — A rebound in car production in Fiat Chrysler on Wednesday reported record third-quarter earnings as production returned to nearly pre-pandemic levels. The Italian-American automaker, which is finalizing its full merger with French rival PSA Peugeot, reported a net profit in the three months ending Sept. 30 of $1.4 billion (1.2 billion euros). That compares with a loss of 179 million euros a year earlier. The carmaker reported adjusted earnings before tax and interest in North America of 2.5 billion euros. That offset deepening losses in Europe, Asia and at its Maserati luxury marquee. Latin America, the only other region to post a profit, saw it narrow by two-thirds to 46 million euros. “Our record results were driven by our teamÂ’s tremendous performance in North America,” CEO Mike Manley said in a statement. Overall, the carmaker said global earnings before tax and interest were a record 2.3 billion euros despite a 6% fall in revenues to 26 billion euros. Global shipments were down 3%, due largely to plant retooling in North American to produce the new Jeep Grand Wagoneer in the luxury SUV segment and the discontinuation of the Dodge Grand Caravan classic minivan. Fiat Chrysler announced earlier Wednesday that its merger with PSA Peugeot is on track to be finalized by the end of the first quarter of 2021, as planned. To meet regulatory concerns, the French carmaker is selling a small stake in a components maker to get below 40% ownership. The new automaker, to be called Stellantis, will be the fourth biggest producer in the world. Earnings/Financials Chrysler Dodge Fiat Jeep RAM Citroen Peugeot
