1978 Jeep Cherokee Base Sport Utility 2-door 4.2l on 2040-cars
Maple Shade, New Jersey, United States
|
Here is a running and driving classic 1978 Jeep Cherokee 4X4.This Jeep has been sitting around for a few years.The previous owner stopped driving it daily after purchasing a new car.He did start it now and then but basically let it sit hoping to restore it someday. I was able to purchase the truck after he realized he would probably never have the time and he did not want it to sit any longer. I put some fresh gas in it,charged the battery and it fired right up with no smoke or noises.I drove it home about ten miles with no problems.It is equipped with the legendary 258cu.in. 6 cylinder and a 3 speed manual trans.It also has power steering,power disc brakes and Warn locking hubs,The brakes and clutch feel good.The transfer case,hubs,and four wheel drive work like they should.The odometer shows 57,712mi.The title shows 255,400mi.I am not sure of the true mileage.The body still wears 90% of its original paint!There is obviously some significant lower body rust especially in the rear quarter panels.Much of the rear quarter rust could be covered by installing the factory type wheelwell flares.One of the tailgate hinges are broken but you can open and close the gate. The floors have rust at some of the seams and a small sheetmetal patch near the driver seat.The frame looks solid but it is crusty near the rear bumper and hitch area.The front bench seat has been replaced with buckets.The original rear seat is in great condition. The dash and components are in decent shape.This is a project truck that needs restoring!It would need a good going over before driving any serious distance.The belts,hoses,tires should be replaced due to age.The lights,signals,heater,defroster,wipers,guages,and even the power tailgate window all work! I have the original owners manual and a service book. This is a fixer upper being sold as is with a clear NJ title.

Fiat-based baby Jeep spotted testing in US and Europe
Thu, 03 Oct 2013Details remain scarce, but our spy photographers have managed to capture the upcoming Jeep B-segment crossover for the first time, testing in both the Alps and in the US. Shown here as a cobbled-together Fiat 500L mule, the new Jeep model is expected to arrive for the 2015 model year and act as a replacement for the current Compass and Patriot models.
According to our shooter, the new "baby Jeep" will share a platform with the Fiat 500X, and both models will be built on the same assembly line in Turin, Italy. We can't tell much from these images, but the added length apparent on this 500L mule would seem to dispel the recent speculation that the new entry-level Jeep model would be sized closer to the Ford Fiesta - since the 500L is already considerably larger than the Fiesta. Powertrain options will likely mirror other Fiat/Chrysler collaborative vehicles like the Dodge Dart, but this Jeep will also try to live up to its off-road roots with an optional all-wheel-drive system.
Chrysler, Nissan looking into claim that their cars are industry's most hackable
Sun, 10 Aug 2014A pair of cyber security experts have awarded the ignominious title of most hackable vehicles on American roads to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, 2014 Infiniti Q50 and 2015 Cadillac Escalade.
Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek are set to release a report at the Black Hat hacking conference in Las Vegas, Automotive News reports. The two men found the Jeep, Caddy and Q50 were easiest to hack based not on actual tests with the vehicles, but a detailed analysis of systems like Bluetooth and wireless internet access - basically, anything that'd allow a hacker to remotely gain access to the vehicle's systems.
Considering this lack of hands-on testing, the pair acknowledge that "most hackable" could be a relative term - they point out that the vehicles may actually be quite secure.
Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
