Pawnee, Illinois, United States

 A 1998 Jeep Cherokee Sport, with roughly 220,.000 miles. It has the 4.0 liter that I've ran Mobil 1 through since right around 100,000 miles. I've wheeled and daily driven this beast since 2008. It has never--not once--left me stranded. It has decent road manners, and is awesome off road, as because of the flex is huge.

 Here is a list of add ons I've installed:

-Rough Country long arm 4 1/2 inch lift

-Superior 4:56 gears

-Newer 33 inch Cooper Discoverer M/T's

-TNT Customs subframe stiffeners with 2 inch rectangular steel unbreakable rock rails

-Heavy Duty front/rear steel bumpers

-Warm 8000 pound wench

-Safari snorkel

-Bushwhacker pocket flares (which are cracked in a few places)

-Tom Woods front driveshaft

-skid plate

-Optima yellow top battery

-always had fluis changed, and all bearings/u-joints and brakes have been replaced or maintained.

-radiator new in 2012

-alternator newer

ISSUES:

-headliner sagging down

-driver door needs adjusted

-trans has always shifted slow until warm..could just need filter and flush. but this does set off the check engine light.

-exhaust manifold has a small crack that is noisy until warm.

-it's dented and manly--built for fun, not for car shows.

**I have a lot of blood, sweat, and money in this. Look up the parts I've listed, and you'll see that it totals between $8 and $10 thousand.. If an XJ is what you're wanting to build, this will save you a fortune and is READY TO WHEEL.

Chrysler recalls 2013 Ram pickups, 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Wed, 17 Jul 2013

Chrysler's spate of successful products is about to be marred by a trio of recalls. The Pentastar is recalling 51,477 Ram trucks and Jeep SUVs. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there have been no reported accidents, injuries or deaths related to the affected vehicles.
The largest action covers the Ram 1500, which is seeing 45,961 trucks being recalled. Models built between June 26, 2012 and February 5, 2013 are being recalled due to a potential software issue in the electronic stability control. Apparently, the system can be randomly deactivated upon vehicle startup.
Chrysler is also recalling 4,458 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee models. Covering everything but the SRT models, the potentially defective SUVs were built between January 14 and March 20, 2013. This recall focuses on "premium headlights," which means cars equipped with LED running lights. During the switch from the bright daytime running lamp setting to the low-intensity parking light setting, an electrical spike can cause one of the Jeep's computers to go into a safe mode, turning off the LEDs. This violates Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.

Jeep Cherokee faces on-sale delay

Sat, 23 Mar 2013

A report in The Wall Street Journal looks at some of the obstacles to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee that go beyond its mootable yet "very contemporary" looks, almost all of them based on Fiat's financial position. Starting with that sheetmetal, in defense of it SRT president Ralph Gilles and Jeep design head Mark Allen said they wanted to "make sure the design still looks modern five years from now."
The WSJ piece doesn't cite longevity as a factor, instead saying that its features originated in a design for an Alfa Romeo, the transformation into a Jeep design meant allowing Chrysler get it to market more quickly and save "hundreds of millions of dollars" in engineering.
The need for Fiat to save money while it weathers the European situation has cut budgets for development, engineering and the pace of retooling the Toledo, Ohio plant to build the Cherokee. In a familiar case of snowballing at work, among the effects will be pushing back the Cherokee's volume sales date and delaying updates to some of Chrysler's other products.

Jeep recalls 92k Grand Cherokee SUVs over electrical issue

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Chrysler is recalling 91,559 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs from the 2014 model year due to some serious electrical issues. All of the affected models were built between January 8 and August 20, 2013.
The NHTSA report states that, "Due to a disruption of computer communications and loose alternator ground wires, the affected vehicles may experience random illumination of multiple instrument cluster warning lights, loss of cluster illumination and loss of anti-lock brake system (ABS) and electronic stability control (ESC) function." The loss of ABS or ESC would greatly reduce a driver's ability to control the vehicle if things get squirrely, and since these failures would not be illuminated on the dashboard display, drivers would not be warned of the issue, increasing the risk of a crash.
The recall is expected to kick off sometime this month. Chrysler will notify affected Jeep owners and dealerships "will update the ABS and instrument cluster module software and tighten the alternator ground wire," according to NHTSA.
