Jeep: Wrangler Unlimited on 2040-cars
La Salle, Texas, United States
This jeep is in excellent running condition. . I drive it daily around my home town here in south Texas. Ive taken road trips in it to Atlanta Ga. and Ray Co. Its without a doubt reliable. The down side is fuel economy and the salvage title. Id like to clarify that I did not fix it myself. It was already running when I purchased it. I bought it with the knowledge that it had a rebuilt title. Ive had it for almost three years now. After I paid it off, I decided to dress it up a little. The paint is less than a year old. Hard top, mirrors and door handles were all sanded down to match the rest of the jeep. I kept it the original factory color because it was my personal preference. I added the mesh grill, H4 Led head lights, Anzo Led turn signal , Led tail lights, three separate independently wired Cree Led light bars. One across the front windshield, one on the hood, and one on the bumper. There are also an additional 8 waterproof Led lights under the cab. Four on the right and another four on the left. In short the entire vehicle is set up with Led lights including the interior as well. Rims are 17X10 Dick Cepek and The tires are 37 Mickey Thompsons. A 3.5 suspension lift and a 1.5 body lift to make room for the 37 wheels. Front bumper and fenders are both Smitty Built. I had them all stripped down of their original line-x powder coating to a smooth finish to compliment the rest of the jeep (make it really stand out ) and its color. I added new pro comp ES9000 series shocks all around and had them painted the same color of the jeep as well with the punisher decal on each of them. Dual flowmaster exhaust, Cobra 29LTD C.B radio also painted to match the exterior color, a chromed out Road King mike, and a Wilson 2000 antenna to tie it all up. Stereo system is nice. AVH P3400BH Pioneer Radio DVD RDS and AV receiver. 400 watt four channel Rockford Fosgate amp, 10 inch Rockford Fosgate subwoofwer and polk audio speakers. I also had to change out the original 4:11 gears to 5:13s to compensate for the larger tires, and added a Super Chips programmer to adjust for economy or horsepower depending on what I was using it for. The interior is in good shape. No torn seats or stains. carpet is fair. Everything works inside with the exception of a few minor things, such as a crack on the left front windshield, rear windshield wiper doesnt work. Three of the four tires are between 50 to 60% one is at about 85% (front passenger) due to a gash on the side wall. Also when I had it painted they never replaced the windshield washer gadget that squirts windshield washer fluid out. thats pretty much sums up the cons. Power mirror, locks, cruise, A/C, heater and 4x4 work perfectly.

NHTSA closes investigation on 4.7M FCA power modules, no recall
Thu, Jul 30 2015FCA US hasn't had the best time with recalls as of late. Not only did the company recently agree to greater safety oversight and paid $105 million to the government, that came just days after hacking fears prompted a 1.4-million model recall campaign. However, a recent decision to close an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration means that the automaker doesn't have to worry about another major recall possibly affecting 4.7 million vehicles, according to the agency's report (as a PDF). Last September, the Center for Auto Safety petitioned NHTSA to investigate an alleged problem with the totally integrated power module (TIPM) on these FCA US models. The group claimed that a fault with the component could cause a variety of maladies, including stalls, not starting, catching fire, unintended acceleration, and airbag non-deployment. At the time, it also submitted 70 cases where this had reportedly happened. According to NHTSA, "no valid evidence was presented in support of claims related to airbag non-deployment, unintended acceleration, or fire resulting from TIPM faults and these claims were found to be wholly without merit based on review of the field data and design of the relevant systems and components." The agency did find signs of an issue with the fuel pump relay in some Jeep Grand Cherokees and Dodge Durangos, but FCA US issued recalls for the problem in September 2014 and February 2015. Without anything else to go on, the Feds don't think it's worth investigating this topic any more.
2014 Jeep Compass/Patriot sing their swan songs with a six-speed automatic
Tue, 15 Jan 2013Unless the governor, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne, gives them a reprieve, the 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot are expected to meet their makers sometime next year. Should they perish, it's a shame that it would happen just as they've shed the continuously variable transmission that was their major bugbear, and just as the Compass has gotten its best looks yet.
Both will roll with a proper six-speed automatic transmission, courtesy of PowerTech. Noise-resistant gears and tuning by Chrysler boffins should alleviate the unappealing sounds that were given off by the older CVT. Unless, that is, you choose to have either model equipped with Freedom Drive II; the serious off-road package, available on both baby Jeeps, will still come with the CVT. The base transmission on the entry-level Sport trim remains the five-speed manual.
Otherwise, it's minor changes for the Compass, set off by the new 18-inch wheel option, trim pieces around the car and a back-up camera. The Patriot gets seat-mounted airbags, but is carryover otherwise. With their expected demises perhaps a year away, not much has changed otherwise. Engine choices comprise the 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 158 horsepower and 141 pound-feet of torque or the 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 172 hp and 165 lb-ft.
