 I've owned this Jeep for nearly 10 years and HATE to get rid of it.  Bought it on eBay in Washington DC and returning full circle to eBay to sell.  Kids are getting big and keeping me busy and I just don't have time to drive it anymore, perhaps only a few times last year. 
I'm not a car dealer but will describe it as best as I can - Please ask questions.

It starts and runs STRONG (Note: It does not get the same fuel efficiency as a 'Smart Car' - And unlike those goofy 'plug-in electric cars' it likes GAS, a lot)
It has always had a few strange electronic issues that I've never bothered to fix - both dash-lights blink when the signal is on, and the fuel gauge occasionally does not register - So I always fill it up so as not to run out of gas. The rear lift gate window literally just stopped working and one of the back windows is stuck.  Otherwise, the driver and passenger side windows operate smoothly, all electronics function, new after-market CD radio, Air blows strong.  Carpets are original and in decent shape however the drivers seat has cracks (see photo).  It will need a new head-liner.  The outside shows wear - There is some oxidation on the hood (see photo) and there are pockets of rust on the rockers that I've patched (but should be addressed) and rust on the under-carriage.

Parts I've replaced in the last 10k miles: 
It has great tires (only 2k miles on them)
Rebuilt carburetor
Rebuilt exhaust
Radiator
Water pump
Starter

It passed its last NJ State Inspection but I've since taken it off the road.  Essentially start it every other day to keep the engine parts moving.

I will miss this Jeep - It's served me well and my kids love it too. I hope whoever purchases it will enjoy it as much as we have..

Thanks for looking and please ask questions.

Jeep Wrangler diesel likely after 2015 model refresh

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

We automotive journalists aren't always the right people to ask about whether a US-spec vehicle should or should not be offered with a diesel powertrain (hint: the answer is usually "YES"). But when it comes to the iconic, off-road-ready Jeep Wrangler, we aren't the only ones who have been clamoring for an oil-burning engine behind that famous seven-slat grille. To that end, it appears there's good news on the horizon, as Jeep CEO Mike Manley recently told Ward's Auto that the "Wrangler is on the radar to get (a) diesel."
"I'm confident that the Grand Cherokee will show just how large a demand there is for diesel, and I think what that will do is reinforce the need for us to target Wrangler as a vehicle that can take a diesel," Manley told Ward's. The most rugged of Jeeps is scheduled to get an overhaul around 2015-16, and the diesel powertrain will likely be introduced around that time.
This year alone, Chrysler will be adding a diesel engine to the Grand Cherokee SUV, as well as the Ram 1500 pickup and Promaster utility van.

What's really going on with the 2014 Jeep Cherokee's transmission issues?

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

On September 23, Automotive News reported that Chrysler had idled the second shift workers it hired just five weeks prior at its Toledo Assembly Complex to build the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. At the time, Chrysler said it had "built the critical number of vehicles we need to stock dealerships once containment is released" and did not want "to put additional strain on our logistics partners ... upon release." That reasoning was not only unusual, it didn't seem to make sense.
It appears the center of the nine-speed issue is software, not hardware.
That same day, the Detroit News ran a piece claiming workers at the Toledo factory said the halt was due to issues with the Cherokee's transmission. It put the number of already-built Cherokees needing fixes at 1,000 and said that some of the workers not laid off had been instructed "to take the Jeep on long test-drives." That made more sense. Three days later, on September 26, Automotive News reported that the 500 workers laid off had been reinstated, with engineers "speeding repairs on the SUV's powertrain software." The AN piece didn't put a number on how many units are being fixed, but it did say that 12,000 have been built and are awaiting delivery to dealers. The best it could say about when dealers will get them, however, is that "progress on a fix is being made. It's unclear when shipments to dealers will start."

Freak accident during Jeep demonstration turns fatal

Mon, 20 May 2013

A 20-year-old woman was killed in Edmonton, Canada on Satuday, reports CTV News, in a freak accident resulting from a rollover during a Jeep demonstration. As part of a fundraising enthusiast event called "Jeeps Go Topless," the driver of one Jeep Wrangler drove up and onto the top of the tire of another.
CTV reports that the owner of the topmost Jeep then switched the vehicle off, posed for pictures and then dismounted from his vehicle. His movement off of the Jeep apparently caused it to tip over, crushing a woman who was on top of an adjacent vehicle. Edmonton police are currently investigating more fully what caused the parking lot accident to occur. Scroll below to watch the CTV News video report about this tragic incident.
