Well it is a sad day but time to part with the old Jeep. Just don't get the use out of her anymore. Bought 7 years ago and have put lots of time into her and now time to pass on to someone who will appreciate her. Was an ex-show jeep when wife and I built 7 years ago then became a daily driver for a while and has sat in garage since winter and just haven't done much with her anymore and is now suffering from neglect. Please take time to read entire listing and look at all pics. before bidding.

The Bad: Like I said jeep has sat in garage since winter and last few years and winters of daily driving has taken toll on old girl. Frame was repaired  some time ago and done right but has developed a couple new spots on side of frame size of silver dollar that will need attention. It is not going to break in half  by any means but will been repaired. I have included pics. of damage. Brakes are spongy and was low on fluid. Think wheel cylinder is leaking. Drove around town and steering is a little sloppier then I remember. Always a little sloppy as it is a Jeep.... Whole jeep could use a once over as it has sat around the last couple years and probably only had 500 miles put on it in that time. Great jeep but want to be honest with condition. It is also titled as a 96 ASM(assembled) Jeep due to the replacement fiberglass body. I have never had any issues with licensing or insuring but want you to be aware in case your state is different.. It is technically an 1980 narrow track CJ7 but Title shows 1996 and matches vin on firewall. It has Clear WV title Everything works on lights , heater wipers, etc. it but the radio quit. was coming and going and now wont come on.

The good: Well it is a Jeep!!! It is an all Fiberglass CJ 7. Only steel is the grill, Hood fenders, windshield frame and tub are fiberglass and good quality. Paint still decent but could use repaint.  My wife painted it 7 years ago and rhino lined entire interior at same time.. It has a mild built Chevy 350 Chevy 4 bolt main engine with approx. 50,000 miles on it. has small crane cam, Edelbrock intake and carb. Accel distributor and coil, headers, dual side pipes and lots of accessories. Transmission is an  Chrysler TF 999 automatic with an Advanced adapter  kit to mount to Chevy engine with approx. 20,000 miles on it. has Dana  300 transfer case with dana 30 front and AMC model 20 rear. All stock along with suspension. Newer Bf Goodrich 31"  MT tires. Also has spacers on front and rear to give it wider stance. We built it with intentions of riding back country roads and have never mudded it. It has power steering and still has manual brakes. It has had LOTS of new parts over the years and will give you a rundown.

In last 2-3 years or less. Bestop Top & doors, seats, rims, tires. Aluminum radiator, water pump starter Alternator, Optima battery, Tie rod ends ,ball joints, u joints, brakes, P/S pump, shocks, greasable shackles, roll bar, cover, bikini top, Halo head lights, amp, speakers, stereo, numerous accessories and chrome..... sure I am missing more. I have put a lot of time and money and just am where I don't have time to keep her at the level she should be or interest. Thought about just parting out but don't have heart to tear apart so Figured I would see if I could find a g0od home on here for her. Like I said I have had for 7+years and hard to part with. Thought about selling or trading for old hot rod or Big Harley or something interesting local but the wife doesn't want to see it running around town so here I am!!

Auction terms are as follows. Deposit due of $200. due in 24 hours. rest due in 7 days. You are responsible for pickup or shipping. Would recommend trailering as brakes are stopping but spongy. Up to you. She runs good but due for oil change and tune up and once over from sitting. If you are new to Ebay or got feedback under 10. Please shoot me a message to let me know you understand that if you bid and win you own it. Want this to sell first time with no BS. There is a reserve. Nothing close to what I have in it but fair I think. Bid to find out. I know value of it as I have owned many. Not looking to get rich and know she needs some loving but not giving it away. I can part out worse case and make what I need  to be happy. Thanks for taking time to read all this. I am honest with description and tried to give you all info. Feel free to ask questions  if you need more info.or if you need another pic. Clear title in my name and currently inspected till Nov. of this year. Happy to help. Please only Bid if serious and have CASH.  Have a great day!!

25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango SUVs recalled over brake feel

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

Chrysler has announced that it is recalling over 25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from several markets over concerns about brake feel under hard braking. The affected models are from the 2012 and 2013 model years, although the actual dates of production aren't available. 18,700 are in the US, while 825 are in Canada, 530 are in Mexico and a further 5,200 outside of North America.
According to a statement, Chrysler was informed of the issue by a component supplier for the Ready Alert Braking system, which primes the brakes in anticipation of an emergency stop. A component in the system was restricting the flow of brake fluid too much.
As Chrysler is quick to point out, the way the brakes functioned was in compliance with regulations and there are no reported cases of drivers losing braking power. Instead, the issue rests with what Chrysler calls a pedal feel that "was not consistent with customer expectations." So it would seem Chrysler is being proactive and fixing a problem not because there's a legal issue at work, but simply because it doesn't feel the way the manufacturer wants it to. Well done.

2015 Jeep Renegade leaks out ahead of Geneva debut

Mon, 03 Mar 2014

Meet the Renegade - Jeep's new baby crossover that's set to debut at the Geneva Motor Show this week. The folks at Jalopnik got their hands on a small batch of photos of the new little cutie, showing what appears to be a Trailhawk (read: trail-rated) version, as well as a more civilian-spec Renegade, complete with a new removable roof system, reportedly called My Sky.
Details are slim, though in addition to the exterior images, one photo of the interior has also been leaked, showing what appears to be a small, yet functional (and nicely appointed) cabin. Early reports suggested that the new small Jeep would be based on the Fiat 500L platform, though Jalopnik rightly points out that the Renegade looks an awful lot like the Panda 4x4. Regardless, there's still likely some 500L bones under there, and we'll know more once the official details are revealed in the very near future.
Head over to Jalopnik for more shots of the cute little Renegade, and stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.

NHTSA still mulling crash tests for recalled Jeeps

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

Well, no one should ever accuse the government of not giving things plenty of thought. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is still debating whether it will retest any of the 1.56 million 1992 to 1998 Grand Cherokees and 2002 to 2007 Libertys that were part of a recall regarding fires after rear-end collisions. And yes, this debate has been going on for over a month. In other news...
The recall dustup started in early June, when Chrysler took the unusual position of refusing a recall request from NHTSA regarding placement of the fuel tank on the effected vehicles. NHTSA said a collision could cause a fire, a position Chrysler took issue with. Extensive negotiations ensued, with Chrysler agreeing to fit certain Jeeps with trailer hitches, which it said would provide some protection to fuel tanks mounted behind the rear axle in the event of a collision.
Part of the issue rests with the amount of data that needs to be processed, according to The Detroit News. NHTSA administrator David Strickland said during a Washington Auto Press Association meeting, "There's a lot of data and Chrysler is being very cooperative in giving us more data." Until that information has been sorted, it looks like re-testing will still be up for debate.
