Jeep was armored by Square 1 Armoring company out of Florida (still in business) and the build plate is mounted inside the motor bay. This vehicle was originally purchased by the US Department of Defense and was used by someone in the department for most of it's life (not many miles). It was then sold to a businessman in Canada, spent a brief time there before I aquired it via a broker in Washington state. I bought it about a year ago as I was planning on making quite a few trips to Mexico, but I am no longer going to do that and have no need for it anymore.
Original miles on this vehicle are as shown in the photo (38,193), but when it was moved to Canada they had to convert it to KM's which came out to 62,000 km's and once I brought it back to the states they transferred it back to miles.
Vehicle is in very good condition for it's age and it runs and shifts excellent. The only thing I did since I have owned it is change all fluids and had the master cylinder replaced. There are some normal small door dings and scratches as one would expect from a vehicle of this age.
Tires are in great shape (like new Michillens)
This jeep is armored with opaque and transparent armor components. I was told that the transparent armor is from Iso-Clima and the Opaque armor consists of high hardness steel lateral armor, with steel in the firewall with US Dept of State approved overlap system. Pillar posts and sail panels are armored with rigid composite armor. Floor and roof armor is of layered ballistic composites. Tailpipe is caged and it appears the fuel tank it armored. I was told it had run flats but cannot confirm it.
I'm not an expert on armored vehichles, so I cannot guarentee everything I was told. I can guarentee this is an armored vehicle built for the DOD and the DOD never bought anything under a B4 level. I believe this jeep to be either B4 or B5 level armor.
The hood alone must weigh a hundred pounds, it's heavy.
There are some issues with the windows; the front windshield is cracked and there is some distortion in the passenger side front and rear window along with the drivers side rear. Also, the hood stand is missing.
The Jeep is still drivable with the front windshiled cracked, but I would suggest replacing it as soon as possible. I will give the winning bidder contact info for the manufacture who quoted me about $3200 for a new front windshield. This is a very good price and will pass the info along.
If you know anything about these vehicles they are very expensive to buy (even used discreet armored vehichles are expensive). I'm not going to give it away, but somebody will get a good deal.
Vehicle is being sold 'as is' and no warrenty is given or implied.
Shipping costs are to be buyers.
Email me with questions.

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 to accelerate production of 2013 Ram and V6 engines
Fri, 16 Nov 2012Chrysler is adding a third shift at its Warren Truck plant to meet demand for the new 2013 Ram pickup. And with tight supplies of its Pentastar V6, the company is also boosting output at its Mack Engine plant.
The expansions will add 1,250 jobs and are part of a $238 million investment by Chrysler in the Detroit area. Warren's third shift will begin work sometime in the spring, a Chrysler rep told Automotive News. Mack's increased Pentastar production a could include both 3.6 and 3.2-liter engines.
The company says it also plans to invest $40 million in its Trenton Engine plant to allow for production of a 3.2-liter V6 as well as the Tigershark inline-four for the upcoming Jeep Liberty replacement.
Jeep going bigger with new Grand Wagoneer, smaller with sub-Renegade?
Tue, 11 Mar 2014The headlines are still rolling in for the new Renegade that Jeep unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show last week, but already reports are surfacing, citing sources within the company, about what Chrysler's iconic off-road brand will do next.
Speaking with Auto Express (whose reports we tend to take with a grain of salt or two), Jeep chief Mike Manley suggested that two courses of action are currently under consideration at Auburn Hills to develop two very different new models - one smaller and one larger than anything Jeep currently makes.
One plan would be to make an SUV or crossover even smaller than the new Renegade, although it isn't immediately clear what platform it would take. The Renegade (pictured above in Trailhawk spec) will be built in Italy alongside Fiat's upcoming 500X, but uses a heavily modified platform. We figure the smaller model, if approved, could base itself on the new Fiat Panda Cross.
