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.

FCA recalls 894k total vehicles worldwide in two campaigns

Fri, Oct 30 2015

FCA is recalling a total of 893,698 vehicles worldwide in two campaigns to fix problems with inadvertent airbag deployment, failure of the anti-lock brakes, and stability control systems in the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Liberty, Dodge Journey, and Fiat Freemont. 559,703 of these vehicles are in the US. The larger recall affects 284,089 examples of the 2003 Jeep Liberty and 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and there are also 13,411 of them in Canada, 6,277 in Mexico, and 48,212 outside the NAFTA region. Because of "electrical noise beyond the tolerance of the airbag electronic control module", part of that component can fail, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. This can cause the front and side airbags to deploy and the seatbelt pre-tensioners to activate inadvertently. FCA US has seven reports of alleged injuries from this problem. To fix the situation, the Jeeps need their Occupant Restraint Control modules replaced, as well as the front- and side-impact sensors. According to the NHTSA, the replacement parts won't be available until early 2016. Still, FCA US will advise owners about the problem in a letter by the end of December and will send a second notification when the components are ready. The second campaign affects 275,614 examples of the 2012-2015 Dodge Journey in the US; plus 78,148 of them in Canada, 36,471 in Mexico, and 151,476 left-hand drive units outside of NAFTA where it's sold as the Fiat Freemont. On these vehicles, water intrusion can disable the anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control, although a warning light often illuminates when this issue occurs, and the problem doesn't affect regular braking. There are also no reports of injuries or accidents. To fix the issue, dealers will seal the ABS wiring harness and will replace any already affected components as necessary, like the ABS module or the headlamp and dashboard wiring harness. Statement: Occupant Restraint Control Modules October 30, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 284,089 older-model SUVs in the U.S. to replace their Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) modules and front and/or side-impact sensors, as required. Within this vehicle population, FCA US became aware of seven injuries caused by inadvertent air-bag deployments and advised NHTSA accordingly. The affected vehicles are not equipped with Takata Corp. air-bags. The Company is unaware of any related accidents.

The fascinating history of the Popemobile

Tue, Sep 22 2015

Pope Francis will be arriving today in the US for a variety of stops, including the World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia, PA. While here, the Pontiff won't be riding in the usual Mercedes-Benz Popemobile, but instead will make a more American switch to a modified Jeep Wrangler, according to the Washington Post. It'll feature a protected front, top, and rear, but the sides will be open for His Holiness to see the throngs of people gathering for him. For hundreds of years, Popes were transported in horse-drawn carriages or sometimes carried in an enclosed chair by footmen, but His Holiness finally traded for some real horsepower in 1929. While his ride sometimes varied depending on the country being visited, a Mercedes-Benz was generally the common choice. However, the Pontiffs have ridden in everything from a modified GMC Sierra to a Ferrari Mondial over the past few decades. Pope Francis has definitely preferred more plebeian transportation, though, including a Renault 4 running on biofuel. A trip to South Korea even put him in a Kia Soul, and he opted for an Isuzu D-Max in the Philippines. The Post's whole list is quite a fun read, and it's fascinating to see how the Popemobiles evolve over time. Related Video:
