Location:

Frostburg, Maryland, United States

Frostburg, Maryland, United States

1990 Jeep Wrangler w/hard top. 2.5L 5 speed. Runs good.

Exterior: Body was completely redone in Summer of 2013. Included rust removal (sandblasting & cut out). Body was sanded to bare metal and repainted. Gravel/chip guard applied to bottom areas and front grill & windshield. New doors were purchased, painted. New hard top painted inside & out. New side step bars. New hardtop latch handle. New wiper arms. New fender flares. New wheel center caps, new lifetime warranty lug nuts (McGard). New rear frame crossmember/bumper. Undercarriage scraped free of mud & painted. New hood catches & hinges. New door hinges. New windshield hinges. New mirror relocation kit installed. New exterior mirrors.  I don't have a spare tire for it.  I took the tire carrier off, but I still have it.

Interior: New neoprene seat covers on front & rear. Dash repainted black. New locking center console. New locking glove box. New door pull handles, window cranks. Replaced inner & outer shifter boots. Interior floor pan repainted/coated with gravel guard (3M). New weatherstripping all around.

Mechanical: New rear shocks. . Tires are in good condition, rear are about 75% tread, front about 50%. New radiator, new distributor cap & rotor. Chassis is a 1990 with about 195,000 miles. Engine is from a 1992 Wrangler & has approximately 133,000 miles on it.  New steering shaft (from steering wheel to steering box). New transfer case chain installed.

I bought this for my teenage son, but he doesn't think it's cool enough.  As the description above says, I've done quite a bit of work to it to get into good working order and make it visually appealing...at least in my opinion.  It passed Maryland inspection in the Fall of 2013, so all mechanical & safety components are in good working order. 

The vehicle is 24 years old, so it's a little quirky.  Takes some time to warm up and run smoothly, so you can't just jump in & go during cold weather.  The high beam switch is broken, I replaced it, but the aftermarket junk broke already.  The lift kit makes it a little more difficult to drive, so two-handed driving is always a good idea at highway speeds.  It is only a 2.5L 4 cylinder, so don't expect to do any street racing with it.  A safe top speed is about 70 mph...and that's exactly why I got my son a Jeep...boys will be boys.

I've only owned this for about 7 months, so I can tell you my experiences with it.  CarFax does show an accident several years ago, but it appears to have been only a minor fender bender.  The driver side front fender had been damaged.  I did the bodywork on it, so you can't even tell it now.  

Please feel free to ask questions if you're interested.

Millionth Jeep Wrangler JK to roll off line this morning

Fri, 17 May 2013

According to a report on the Chrysler Communications Facebook page and one fairly grainy image of the production line, at around 11:00AM Eastern this morning, the one-millionth Jeep Wrangler JK will roll out of the company's Toledo assembly plant.
The third-generation or "JK" Jeep Wrangler has been around since the 2007 model year, and has obviously been more popular than ever. With a greater than ever number of trim levels, two-door and four-door Unlimited models and hardy off-roading Rubicon packages, the JK offers more to choose from than ever for those looking for something in a traditional Jeep. In fact, with the modern 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 powering it, the 2012 model year saw more than 140k Wrangers sold here in the US; the best-ever figure for the model.
With a model refresh due out for the Wrangler in 2015 (along with the likely addition of a diesel engine option), we expect that sales will continue to roll right along, too.

Jeep team takes a field trip to Wagonmaster; researching next Grand Wagoneer?

Fri, 01 Feb 2013


They have the very best intentions of rolling out a seven-passenger vehicle.
Wagonmaster has made a name for itself restoring and selling factory-perfect Jeep Grand Wagoneer models, bridging the gap between when the last production machine rolled off the line in 1991 and present day. The company's efforts haven't gone unnoticed. The entire Jeep product planning team took a little field trip to the company's facility in Kerrville, Texas back in December, and they weren't just there to take in the sights. According to owner Leon Miller's son, Chip Miller, the Jeep team was there to do research for the successor to the Grand Wagoneer throne.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT

Jeep's Super 'Ute Is Fun Thrown In The Face Of Conventional Wisdom
Let's talk asses for a moment. What do they have to do with the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, you ask?
Well, we're here to tell you that this SRT can haul some. Lots of them, as a matter of fact: Jeep has increased the towing capacity of its most powerful SUV to 7,200 pounds. Assuming the average donkey weighs about 400 pounds, the Grand Cherokee SRT can haul ass to the tune of 18 burros, give or take a covered trailer or so, which is significantly more than it could in previous years. In 2013, the machine could manage 5,000 pounds, while the first generation was rated at just 3,500. The increase is mostly attributable to a new eight-speed automatic transmission and beefier rear axle, and it's a welcome update for those who'd like to use their SUV as, well, an SUV with an emphasis on utility.
