The following is the most accurate description breakdown of the Jeep:
Mechanical Operation/Function: 10/10
This thing performs wonders off road, with a fresh long arm suspension kit, it will out-articulate and out-crawl most other Jeeps. The engine runs extremely strong with plenty of low end torque. Engine doesn't knock, tick or consume oil, and gets routine oil changes at 3K miles. The axles were gone through this spring to ensure that the air lockers were operational and the internal components were safe and sound. Both lockers work and makes the truck extremely capable off road. Unlike other Jeeps, this thing drives tight with no loose front end parts, "death wobble" or choppy ride. The long arm kit not only provides optimal off road performance, but a better street ride as well.
Exterior Aesthetics: 6.5/10
Moving onto the exterior of the truck. Rust-wise, this thing is spotless, and is exactly what you would expect from a Montana truck. As far as the body is concerned, it is once again rust-free and structurally sound. There are some minor "bumps and bruises" from normal/off-road use, but nothing major. Minor rock chips, a couple dings here and there, and light scratches from branches and leaves are to be expected. While the Jeep may not win an award at your local car show, it cleans up and shines with little to no effort, and is a great dual purpose rig! Truck is equipped with a Genuine Mopar tan soft top that is in excellent shape and has no fading, rips or tears. The bumpers and rock sliders are considered "rock armor" and have been used. Expect some missing paint on the black armor parts and skid plates.
Interior Aesthetics: 8/10
Now onto the interior, grey in color. The dash is in excellent shape, and all the radio/heat/AC knobs and buttons work great. The ARB air locker switches are mounted in the center of the dash and are operable. There are no cracks or missing pieces to the dash. All gauges work as well as the steering wheel controls. The seats are in good shape for being 15 years old. Each front seat does have some cracking/separation in the vinyl right where your butt slides on/off. Aside from the typical "buttrub" on the edges, the seats are in great shape with no other rips, tears or holes. The carpet was removed so dirt/mud wouldn't sit and hold moisture or nasty smells. The floor boards are in excellent shape as well with no rust. The truck is equipped with a Tuffy full security console and the truck also has an aftermarket Sony head unit with USB and AUX inputs.

And with 113,xxx miles, the 4.0L is just breaking in. Also, after every single wheeling outing, the tires and wheels were removed, and the underside was pressure washed inside & out (Frame flush included). This truck has never been "ridden hard and put away wet," I have taken a great amount of pride in it and like my stuff looking its best.
Thanks

Chrysler expecting up to 200,000 9-speed transmissions for 3 models this year
Tue, 22 Jan 2013Striving for improved fuel economy, we already knew that Chrysler will begin using a nine-speed automatic transmission in some of its new products this year, but what we haven't known is that volume at which this gearbox will be used. According to Bloomberg, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has been quoted as saying that the automaker expects to sell close to 200,000 units equipped with this new transmission in 2013. Those gear-rich trannies will be spread out across three models, consisting of the redesigned Chrysler 200, the still-unnamed Jeep Liberty replacement and the Dodge Dart.
This transmission should play a pivotal role in making Chrysler vehicles more competitive in their respective segments. Just for comparison, one of the Dart's key competitors, the Toyota Corolla, still uses a four-speed automatic, and a previous report indicates that the next-generation 200 could get up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway, which is better than most non-hybrid midsize sedans on the market. Marchionne says that the new Jeep model is expected during the second quarter of this year, but there is no word as to when the new 200 or nine-speed Dart will debut, but clearly Dodge would like to have the transmission in its compact yesterday. As for that volume figure, it definitely doesn't seem out of reach since the Dart, Liberty and 200 combined for a total of more than 225,000 units in 2012.
How many more gears can we expect in future cars? Probably not many more, since the CEO of transmission-builder ZF, Stefan Sommer, previously stated that nine speeds was the "natural limit" for transmissions.
GMC boss wants a Jeep Wrangler rival
Wed, 12 Nov 2014Challengers come and challengers go, but the Jeep Wrangler continues to push forward even after vehicles like the Toyota FJ Cruiser and the entire Hummer brand have been shut down. Now GMC reportedly wants to take a stab at the quintessential Jeep, as well.
The news comes directly from Buick-GMC vice president Duncan Aldred, speaking with our compatriots over at Edmunds. Although Aldred said there are no plans currently on the table to expand GMC's lineup beyond the current range, "there is plenty of room everywhere in the hierarchy."
That could include a rival to the Wrangler, as well as a flagship luxury SUV positioned above the current Yukon Denali (pictured above). Just when (or for that matter, if) such models might come into fruition remains a big question mark, but it's certainly interesting to see what GM's dedicated truck brand has on the drawing board.
This American Life spends a week selling Jeeps in Long Island
Thu, 19 Dec 2013So you think you know car dealers? Well, maybe you do, but This American Life spent a month at Town and Country Jeep Chrysler Doge Ram in Long Island to give us a behind-the-scenes look (or listen, since it's a radio program) at what it's like to be a car dealer.
Yes, there's a lot of swearing in thick New York accents, frustration, confusion, and generally it's a madhouse at the dealership. But that's understandable when the sales staff has to sell 129 vehicles in October in order to get an $85,000 manufacturer bonus - with several other Jeep dealerships within a 10-mile radius.
The episode, 129 Cars, is worth a listen, but make sure you have 71 minutes to spare if you want to get through it in one sitting. Head here for the unedited version or here for the bleeped version (which is 58 minutes long).
