This is a red ’89 Jeep Wrangler, the four-cylinder make. It is considerably rusty and, at 236,825 miles, it is well used (though the engine, which was pulled and moved over from a '95 Wrangler, has closer to 150,000). It starts fast and runs strong. We just drove it to Pittsburgh (from Cleveland) and back last week without trouble. The following things have been replaced in the last couple years: Radiator Left front wheel bearing and axle U-joint Steering gear box Clutch Tie rods Some other things to know would be that the parking/emergency brake doesn’t work (I carry a brick around for when I have to park on an incline), neither does the horn. In a heavy rain, water will drip down from the dashboard and flood the floor of the front seats, but but there are drainage holes for this. The rear windows to the soft top can be a hassle to get on and one of the zippers is torn (since the interior is all metal and vinyl I just leave them out when it rains). The rear plastic window has a hole of about 5 inches which flaps in the breeze, but could be sealed with tape. The tires are fairly bald. And it consistently gets between 18-22 mpg (better around town than on the highway). You can see from the pictures that it has significant rust. It also runs very loud and needs a muffler, but being more than 25 years old, is exempt from emissions testing. Any old muffler on it would quiet it down for driving. The 4WD works, but sometimes slips out of gear. We use a bungy cord to keep pressure on the stick to keep it engaged. This would be a great farm vehicle to get around the back 40. Or you could just pull the engine and move it to something else. The back seat, rarely used, is in good shape. Same with the passenger seat. The wheels are stock Jeep from a 99 Wrangler. On Sep-10-14 at 10:11:32 PDT, seller added the following information: One more thing. If you fill the gas tank all the way up, you get a gas smell if it's garaged. I think the seal is faulty for the in-tank fuel pump needs replaced. The fuel pump was replaced 3 years ago and we cut an access panel to it in the rear trunk area. So it's not hard to get to that area to check it. I just keep forgetting. I've owned this Jeep for 14 years and even though it's well-worn, I'll be sad to see it go. I'd keep it except my son (who drove it the last 4 years) just went to London to study for his Master's degree and I don't want to store it for a year. |

Jeep gunning to build 250,000 Cherokees a year
Thu, 21 Mar 2013Contrary to what a certain politician may have said last year about Jeep moving to China, the automaker is in fact doing the opposite, with plans to greatly increase the production capacity at its Toledo North Assembly plant in Ohio. The Detroit Free Press is reporting that there are big plans for the 2014 Jeep Cherokee and Toledo North, as a local union president has informed the newspaper that Chrysler is planning to produce around 250,000 examples of the new midsize utility per year.
To put this number into context, 250,000 units is more than what Jeep Liberty sales totaled here over the last three years combined. Even taking into consideration that the 250,000 units will be distributed beyond US borders, that's an ambitious volume figure full-stop - and that's without taking into consideration the new Cherokee's love/hate design. In its favor, though, Jeep is making remarkable inroads globally as of late, and the Cherokee's size could work well in emerging markets. To get that kind of output from Toledo's Cherokee assembly line, Chrysler will reportedly hire 1,105 new workers - that's in addition to the 200 workers already being hired to build the popular Jeep Wrangler, which is itself expected to top 220,000 units this year.
Jeep lays out 5-year plan, including rebirth of Grand Wagoneer and new C-segment offering
Tue, 06 May 2014Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Machionne presented a five-year plan for the company brands this morning, with Jeep first up on a long day of presentation. Jeep's head honcho Michael Manley wasted no time in laying out what the foreseeable future will look like for what he calls the "lead global brand" of the company.
Big goals for the next half-decade will include expanding the lineup from five nameplates built in one country, to six nameplates build in six countries. That expansion of models will include both a three-row competitor, and, of course, a small vehicle to slot below Cherokee. The company is also seeking to add a whopping 1,300 dealers over the next few years, to sell all this new metal, and has an aggressive goal of doubling Jeep sales by the time 2018 rolls around.
As expected, that first salvo from the off-road brand will be the debut of the much ballyhooed Renegade small crossover in the third quarter of this year. Jeep has already designated that Renegade will get refreshed for the 2017 model year, as well.
2015 Jeep Cherokee finds a bit more fuel mileage thanks to stop/start and aero tweaks
Mon, 06 Oct 2014Just a year after it burst onto the scene, Jeep has already made a pretty substantial addition to its V6-powered Cherokee, which has proven to be an extremely popular seller so far for the brand, adding a new stop-start system for the midsize, off-road-ready CUV.
The addition of stop-start included a few aerodynamic tweaks to the Cherokee's polarizing body, resulting in a wallet-pleasing increase in fuel economy. According to the EPA, the front-drive, V6-powered Jeep will now return 21 miles per gallon in the city and 29 mpg on the highway, up from 19 city and 28 highway. Four-wheel-drive, V6-powered Cherokees, meanwhile, will now return 20 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway, up from 19 mpg in the city and 27 mpg.
With 271 horsepower, 239 pound-feet of torque and these newly enhanced figures, it's refreshing to see a larger, naturally aspirated engine that is still able to take the fight to today's crop of small-displacement, turbocharged four-cylinders.
