1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo Sport Utility 4-door 4.0l on 2040-cars
Glastonbury, Connecticut, United States

Offering my 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee for sale. I am going to be very transparent about the condition of this vehicle as I have never sold ANYTHING that warranted a negative feedback from my buyers, and don’t want to start now! (Check previous feedback, especially on truck I sold and higher end items) Here is the rundown: I believe this would be a better “parts” vehicle, vs. a “fixer-upper”, but either is possible! In the past 14 months the following has been completed: - New Radiator and hoses - New Catalytic Converter - Newer Battery Body is very good EXCEPT dent and damage to drivers side door (Door latch busted and lower panel has “crunch”, still closes but does not lock-I would count on replacing). Also, paint is peeling on hood and roof. · Interior is very good, expected wear only. · A/C is iffy-recharge? · Heat is weak-t-stat or heater core, or????? · Upgraded newer radio/CD/i-Plug- all works when it wants. No explanation on that! · Motor has almost 200K (Straight 6 known to go 300k) Has been extremely dependable, actually runs pretty great, does NOT purr like new, but it doesn’t rattle the fillings out of your teeth either. (No noticeable knocks are sketchy idling.) · Transmission was replaced a few years back with one that had about 125K on it, actually shifts/runs pretty well. · The 4 wheel drive works BUT something is going on! Very, very fickle when you go from 4 wheel drive to 2 wheel drive. Transfer case and/or linkage? If this helps: it tends to “skip” when making sharp turns and returns to 2 wheel drive when it wants to. · Tires stink! · Brakes: stops the vehicle but they are due, starting to feel mushy. · Glass all good. · Keyless entry and power windows all work (Drivers side door does not lock to to cited damage). · Shocks/struts seem fine · Front end needs alignment (Just due-I believe front end is ok) · Have original owners manual · Clean Title and some paperwork (on repairs) left This has been my primary vehicle for the past two years and she has never failed me. I was one of the few people who made it to work after 2 feet of snowfall, so this vehicle is a true trooper. Again, I would lean toward it now being an outstanding parts vehicle, but she could certainly give another 50K worth of life with some work. PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS-I may have missed something and I want to be sure you know what you are getting! If you look at my reviews I have made “making honest, solid deals” my priority on e-bay, not “making money”. Happy bidding!! |

2016 Jeep Wrangler to ditch solid axles to save weight?
Tue, 29 Oct 2013Hey, Jeep fans. If you think the idea of a funky-looking, car-based Cherokee revival is offensive, have a listen to what might be in store for the next-gen Jeep Wrangler. Automotive News is reporting that as Jeep develops the 2016 Wrangler, weight reduction is a crucial target, and the Wrangler's rugged solid axles could be sacrificed in the name of better fuel economy.
We've already heard the next Wrangler will go on a serious diet using aluminum body panels and an air suspension system, so the idea of a four-wheel independent suspension setup for this OG SUV isn't all that surprising. Besides, it's not like an independent suspension would limit the Wrangler's off-road abilities - just check out the Hummer H1. In fact, it might be the aftermarket parts companies - not Wrangler enthusiasts - who would be most disappointed by such a drastic suspension change, as the article states that the Wrangler's solid axles and coil-link suspension make it the most popular SUV for customization.
There are probably still a couple years before we'll start hearing any concrete details about the 2016 Wrangler, at which time it will be interesting to see how stricter fuel economy and crash safety regulations have been balanced with traditional Wrangler cues like its removable doors and roof and folding windshield. Let us know in the comments below if a Wrangler sans solid axles is any less of a Wrangler.
NHTSA closes investigation into Jeep Liberty fires
Sun, 16 Mar 2014The investigation that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened into the Jeep Liberty in October 2013 has been closed. NHTSA received two (!) complaints about fires starting in the driver's door, thought to be caused by the master power window switch. The initial estimate was that 80,000 Libertys could be roped into a possible recall, but according to a report in the Detroit News the agency examined records for 425,000 Chrysler products that used the same window switch, including the Dodge Nitro and Chrysler Town & Country minivan.
After canvassing 265 warranty claims related to the master switches, NHTSA concluded that the rate of fires compared to the "large population of vehicles" was rather low, and that there was no trend pattern behind the few issues it did find. Perhaps with that, and the closure of the trailer hitch investigation, the Liberty can finally rest in peace.
Chrysler readying 20 Moparized vehicles for SEMA
Tue, 08 Oct 2013The Las Vegas Convention Center has plenty of space for aftermarket companies and automakers to show off their wares, and it looks like Chrysler is taking advantage of the spacious floor plan. At next month's SEMA Show, Chrysler will have a full 20 cars from its six brands decked out with Mopar gear.
As a hint of what is to come, Chrysler released a handful of teaser sketches showing glimpses of modified Jeep Cherokee, Ram 1500, Fiat 500L and Chrysler 300 concept vehicles. The automaker will also use the venue to show off a new line of Jeep Performance Parts offered by the all-new Mopar Off-Road Division. In addition to the images, Chrysler also issued a brief press release - posted below - breaking down some of the "industry-first features" that Mopar has offered in recent years.
