My loss is your gain

 

I’m selling this Jeep which I bought almost 2 years ago as a fun project. I really got into the Wagoneer thing and bought a few other Wagoneers, fixed them up and really had a lot of fun. But, things have changed in my life and I’m moving and getting out of this hobby. So, I got rid of the other Jeeps which were much less of projects. This was the one I poured my heart and soul into and, too bad, it’s still not done.

But, I need to get rid of it.

So, it’s a 1983 Jeep Wagoneer that had a lot of body rust when I got it. Floors were bad too. I’ve fixed all of that, but not professionally. It’s all in good shape now. All the major mechanicals work fine. New brakes, new exhaust, new battery, new spark plug wires and more, I’m sure.

You can see I went for a different look that the traditional Woody. I think it looks kind of mean and 4 wheeler type, but you judge for yourself. I left out the back seat, but I have one for you.
The odometer shows just over 80,000 and I have no reason to doubt, but I can’t verify either. It runs so good, that I think the mileage is right. Very strong.

There are several things that still need to be done, like minor electrical things. Turn signals, dome lights, some switches, power mirrors, etc. I bought a new radio and some friends who know a lot more than I do, tried to install it, but they are stuck. So, it’s all there, plus the old one. Some type of power or ground issue.

Needs a headliner and I have 2 of the cardboard backings that you can use if you get the material.

I have hundreds to thousands of other Jeep parts that I’d like to sell with the Jeep. Some you may need. Window motors, fuses, relays, switches, etc. 2 complete sets of woody trim, which is hard to find and expensive (one set would need some touch up and the other is in really good shape.) Door panels, headliners, gas tank, wheels, etc., etc. If you are a Jeep guy, especially Grand Wagoneers, you will need these or know other guys you can give or sell to.I have many more pics of parts.

And, if you want to take the time to list on EBay or Craig’s List, there is a lot of extra money here. I just need to move on and sell all of this.

Jeep Grand Cherokee in headliner fire probe

Fri, 23 Aug 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching an investigation into 146,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs from the 2012 model year, The Detroit News reports. This comes as the result of the government safety agency receiving three complaints from owners who cited fires inside the Jeep's cabin.
According to the report, NHTSA says:
"The customers reported a burning odor and visible smoke coming from the headliner while the vehicle was being driven. This was followed by flames from the headliner itself. Customers lowered the windows in an effort to clear the smoke but this increased the fire's intensity. All three vehicles had to be extinguished with a fire extinguisher or by the fire department as they continued to burn after the vehicle was turned off."

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.

Chrysler recalling 31k SUVs and vans

Fri, 06 Jun 2014

Chrysler is issuing recalls covering roughly 31,700 vehicles worldwide due to two separate problems. In both cases the company believes that most of the affected vehicles are either still on, or in transit to, dealer lots.
One recall covers roughly 10,700 Dodge Durango, Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee SRT models from the 2014 model year built between January 16 and April 17, 2014. The SUVs need a software update for the cruise control. It's possible that when the cruise is on and the driver presses on the throttle, the acceleration could last a second after the pedal is released or two seconds for the SRT. Afterward, they return to the speed originally set by the driver.
Chrysler says it isn't aware of any accidents, injuries or even reported incidents of this happening in the real world. Also, in all cases, if the driver presses on the brake, the cruise shuts off. The automaker believes that there are about 6,100 affected SUVs in the US, 950 in Canada, 425 in Mexico and 3,200 outside of North America. The software upgrade will be ready shortly, the company says.
