 I am selling my Jeep because I just don't have space for it anymore.  This truck was purchased by me about 7 years ago so I can get to work in the winter, otherwise it sat in the garage.  I bought it off the previous owner at 77k miles and he too had it garaged.  I have maintained this truck to the fullest extent from day one to now.  Most of the maintenance came around 100k for reliability am fuel efficiency only.   These things include front to back: Silverstar headlights and fog lights, aluminum radiator and 185 degree thermostat, external trans cooler, Derale deep cooling trans pan, new shift soiliniods x2 (common problem), new atf +4 fluid flush at 110k, royal purple gear fluid in front diff, new steering stabilizer, accel ignition coil, taylor 8mm wires, champion heavy duty truck spark plugs, K&N drop in air filter just cleaned, both O2 sensors replaced, Mopar performance ECU(very rare), Random technologies high flow cat and Gibson mandrel bent exhaust, (sound amazing), Rear diff was rebuild by previous owner and I have royal purple in it also. Transfer case fluid recently changes with ATF+$ and the A/C was profesionally charged in 2011. New Serpintine belt and pullies at 100k.Previous owner also put in a pioneer Sirus radio in the factory dash slot, fits perfect.  New brakes and rotors at 100k, all 4 Bilstien HD shocks at 100k, rear gate shocks both window and gate replaced recently.  I also changed the plenum gasket and the Throttle position sensor as well, these are common issues as well.  I changed the fuel pump also just for reliability at 100k.  Oil changes 10w-30 Valvoline or Mobil one high mileage synthetic. Tires are 75-85%  Good Year All season Fortera's rotated every oil change. This truck is extremely reliable, clean and drives solid, no check engine lights, no engine sounds, transmission shifts solid and does not miss a beat, and everything works.   I usually get average of 15-16 mpg and get as high as 18.5 mpg on the highway and it drives straight as an arrow and smooth even at higher highway speeds.  

This winter was the only time I had to take it out of the garage and it sat most of the winter in my driveway.  Since It is a rare truck i feel bad leaving it sit and the minimal use I have for it it is time to go.  Since It sat there were a few issues I found this spring.  One the rear tail gate started to rust on the bottom, no rust anywhere else on the truck but the tailgate.  Second the tailgate switch went bad so the lights flicker on and off, this is a common problem and easy fix.  Also the windshield seal is going bad so when the snow melted and some water got in the front floor boards.   I read this is a common issue also, dried the mats out and it is fine but the windshield will need to come out.  It should be replaced anyway because it has a small ship on it as well.  I know this truck like all my cars in and out, there is no other known problems with this car at all.  I encourage before bidding to please come look at it and drive it if your serious.  If you are not local I also encourage you send a independent inspector to review it before bidding.   The car is in Long Valley NJ 07953 and can also be in West Orange NJ 07853.   Please call me with any questions Vinny 9738098900.

2014 Easter Jeep Safari kicks off with six concepts

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

The 2014 Easter Jeep Safari is set to begin this weekend in Moab, Utah, and while it's sure to be a blast for Jeep enthusiasts from all corners of the world, we're looking forward to the wild, off-road ready concepts that Jeep will be bringing to the red rocks. As you can see in our handy headline, there are six such vehicles in total, each of which sports a variety of tweaks and custom bits.
Unlike in years past, where Jeep graced us with some outrageous concepts like the Mighty FC or J-12, this year's vehicles are a bit more restrained and a bit more buildable by enthusiasts. That's not by accident, officials tell us. They wanted to put this year's focus on attainable vehicles and accessories from Mopar and Jeep Performance Parts that existing owners can use to augment their own vehicles. So let's get to it.
We'll start with the Wranglers first. There are three concepts of the jeepiest of Jeep coming to Moab - the Level Red, Maximum Performance and Mojo. The Level Red and the Mojo (seen above) are similar from a suspension and engine standpoint. Both boast a two-inch Jeep Performance Parts lift kit, which officials tell us is coming to market in the next few months. There are a pair of Dana 44 crate axles on both the front and rear, while a Jeep Performance Parts Rock-Trac transfer case has been fitted. The 3.6-liter V6 engines on both Jeeps can breathe a bit easier thanks to a new cold-air intake and exhaust system.

Australian Jeep marketing stunt goes awry [w/video]

Tue, 15 Jul 2014

Jeep fans in Australia are none too happy with the off-road brand following a contest that saw ten new Cherokees sold for just $10,000 Australian (about $9,400), roughly a quarter of the vehicle's price Down Under.
The contest, called the "World's Most Remote Dealership," gave Aussies the chance to snag an ultra-affordable Cherokee Longitude (analogous to the US-spec Latitude trim), provided they could get to a secret dealership in the remote wilderness of western New South Wales, near the border with the state of South Australia.
In order to get the exact location of the dealership, though, potential customers needed to download an app, which would release a phone number 9:00 AM AEST on Thursday (7:00 PM EDT, Wednesday night). The first ten people who could call in and prove they could afford to finance $10,000 and get to the remote dealership, were given the location of the remote dealership.

Jeep Cherokee finally dealer-bound

Tue, 22 Oct 2013

We had our First Drive of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee last month, but it appears that prospective buyers won't have too much longer to finally get time behind the wheel of the new small Jeep.
Automotive News is reporting that after a two-month delay, Jeep dealers will finally start receiving their first shipments of the new Cherokee, in the next 10 days. A Chrysler spokesperson confirmed to Autoblog that the Cherokee is indeed on its way to Jeep dealers.
According to AN, about 23,000 Cherokees have been built since production commenced back in June, but potential powertrain issues forced Jeep to make adjustments to the Cherokee along the way. Automotive News says that in order to make sure there are no issues with the Cherokee before it reaches customers, it is testing each vehicle after it rolls off the assembly line at a rented test track near the vehicle's Toledo North Assembly Plant.
