 Wishing for an alternative to having to drive our Yukon XL from Michigan  to Florida 4 times a year to chase saltwater fish, I bought the above 'critter' via eBay.  "Now we can fly down and reach both coasts via the Jeep"...  (youthful dreaming)...    Not ever willing to take chances with the unknown (typical 'old fart'), I rented a flat bed to trailer the 'beast' from the Gulf coast to Zellwood.  Delivered it to a 'Fix-it' shop to install an entire new brake system, new shocks, new tires, new battery, all new 'fluids', and all new 'tranny & transfer case seals.  Did get us to the coasts four times without events.  Wednesday, on the way back from Canaveral, Nancy said "the brakes are getting spongy".  I took over and they were not "spongy", they were almost non-existant.  Did get the canoes to the RV area, and then, back to our mobile.  Stepped on the brake entering the drive and the gauges pegged  zero and the motor died.  Not at all sophisticated in 'motordom', I called my son-in-law who quickly  diagnosed "O2 sensor failure" (?????)  Have not tried to start it again, for fear of causing further damage... (?)  When we did drive it, the 'critter' started instantly, sounded smooth, shifted cleanly, and seemed to have no glitches.  Now, here is the rub: would expect the buyer to 'flat-bed' (or tow it) on the pick up , and it MUST BE PICKED UP Saturday, the 6th or Sunday, the 7th. Leaving to MI Monday AM.  Located at Zellwood Station (Hwy 441), just north of Orlando.  Using Virgin Mobile for Net Connect, (not very stable), but will try to respond to "querys'' promptly.  (An eBayer just suggested that I try starting it again;  I turned the key, gauges read normal, twisted to start, instant response...  motor ran normally... ?????)  Duh...

Jeep Renegade's development a template for new Fiat Chrysler Auto

Wed, 24 Sep 2014

2014 Jeep Cherokee uncovered with bold new look

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

Jeep has been shuttling around Alfa Romeo-based test mules and camouflaged prototypes of its replacement for the current Liberty for some time now. Those heavily disguised vehicles may have offered a glimpse of the new Jeep, but a new set of production-line images from Jalopnik tell a much more complete story.
Jalopnik report indicates unequivocally that the Cherokee name will be re-upped in place of Liberty, though it doesn't spell out exactly where that thinking comes from, though a name change has been rumored for some time. Chances are good that the same source that delivered these factory images delivered the name, as well.
The Cherokee absolutely has some Alfa Romeo DNA in its makeup, the final product is far from looking like its Guilietta ancestor. The athletic, high-waisted design is relatively attractive from what we can see here, though the grille and headlight treatment are sure to cause a lot of ruckus when the Cherokee makes its official debut at the New York Auto Show in April. The very narrow, pointed headlamps are pinched in a not particularly Jeep-ish fashion, and the curved, short version of the seven-slot grille is far more rakish than anything that Jeep has produced to date.
