Clean rust free low mileage 2004 Trail Rated Jeep Wrangler X.  Southern vehicle purchased new in AZ and then relocated to TN. where I purchased it.  Only 57,172 miles.  The Jeep has the following bonuses, Aftermarket radio, CD, MP3, detachable face radio (I also have the original radio)  amplifier with Kicker speakers added behind rear seat with adjustable bass.  Mud Claw 33x12.50x15 tires on black rims with matching wheel rim on the spare tire. (spare was removed for picture of rear tailgate)  Best Top with tinted rear windows added new last year.  3.5 inch suspension lift.  Jeep also has factory installed option of posi-trac rear end which the original owner ordered when purchased new from dealer.  All these options were added prior to my purchasing the Jeep.  There is also a high lift jack attached to the front bumper and a aluminum light bar with two KC lights that attaches to the windshield and goes over the top.  There are two more KC lights attached to the front bumper which can be re-attached to the light bar. Originally all four were on the light bar but the previous owner removed it and put two of the lights on the bumper.  The frame is as clean as your grandma's kitchen.  The paint is shiny and waxed but there are some light scratches that were too faint to photograph.  I tried but they wouldn't show up.  Non of the scratches go to the metal.  I don't know if scratch is the right word for them but that is what I am calling them for the ad.  I had the Jeep professionally detailed and they told me they could probably be buffed out.  a couple of light stone chips.  Remember this is a 2004.  There is a dent and a few scratches in the rear tailgate that was there when I bought the Jeep.  The tailgate works fine.  If I was keeping the Jeep I would get a new one pre-painted off Ebay.  Or if you're a body guy you can try to removed the dent or buy a used one from a junk yard.  Your call on that one.

The Jeep runs smooth and strong.  Doesn't knock, smoke or use oil.  The clutch is tight and it shifts smoothly.  The four wheel drive works but I never went off road with it.  I've never driven it in snow or rain except for when out and I ran into rain.  It is a fair weather jeep for me that I use when I can put the top down and it stays down.  There are "Call of Duty" stickers on the sides of the Jeep but it is not a call of duty edition Jeep.  The previous owner put them on and I just left them because my sons liked them.  They play the game.  Finally, two tires are like new but two are worn because the previous owner told me he didn't rotate them when he should have.  I have had the front end aligned and a fresh oil, filter, lube and air filter change.  This Jeep is ready to go with many features you won't have to pay for on your own to add.  Also, as a bonus, if you pay the "buy it now price"  I will throw in 4 new in the box Black Rock Series 941 Dune black steel wheels for free.  I just received these and was going to put on more road friendly tires.  They are 15 X 8 rims complete with center caps.  If I accept a "or best offer" price, you can have the option of buying them at my cost. 

So, why am I selling?  I had neck surgery and the lift, tires and suspension are a little too much for me now.  I really like the 2003 to 2006 body style and have found a stock Jeep.  Call, email or text if you want additional pictures or have any questions.  I have a clear title in hand.  Payment will require a $500.00 deposit within 24 hours of sale via Paypal.  Final payment will be due within 5 days with either cash, cashiers check or certified check from a bank or credit union.  If you pay for shipping I will work with your shipper to arrange pickup.  No money orders will be accepted.  There is no warranty on the vehicle.   Thanks for looking.

This American Life spends a week selling Jeeps in Long Island

Thu, 19 Dec 2013

So 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).

Chrysler expecting up to 200,000 9-speed transmissions for 3 models this year

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

Striving 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.

Chrysler readying 20 Moparized vehicles for SEMA

Tue, 08 Oct 2013

The Las Vegas Convention Center has plenty of space for aftermarket companies and automakers to show off their wares, and it looks like Chrysler is taking advantage of the spacious floor plan. At next month's SEMA Show, Chrysler will have a full 20 cars from its six brands decked out with Mopar gear.
As a hint of what is to come, Chrysler released a handful of teaser sketches showing glimpses of modified Jeep Cherokee, Ram 1500, Fiat 500L and Chrysler 300 concept vehicles. The automaker will also use the venue to show off a new line of Jeep Performance Parts offered by the all-new Mopar Off-Road Division. In addition to the images, Chrysler also issued a brief press release - posted below - breaking down some of the "industry-first features" that Mopar has offered in recent years.
