2000 Cherokee Sport for $1900

Hey, just got myself an 2000 Cherokee Sport for $1900 Canadian Dollars or $1300 USD.

215k Km or 133k miles.

Only surface level rust in the bottom and minor cosmetic damage. Clean tittle. But with the following issues:

Known issues: Radiator ($100) Radiator Hoses ($30) thermostat + gasket ($6) Tail pipe ($50) + Hangers and clamps Valve cover gasket ($10) Seats

Unknown issues: Steering wheel stiff at slow speeds, loose steering/play at high speeds 80kmh+. Suspension issue? Steering column?

Tail lights and gauge cluster lights not working, blown fuse?

Now I’m feeling buyers remorse. I mainly wanted a reliable vehicle to go off trail/hikes. Did I buy myself a money pit?

Do you think I got fleeced?

I've seen a number of headlight posts on here,, but haven't come across anything for 2009 Wrangler Unlimited 4 door. I was thinking heated, but my wife says she doesn't need heated (we live in Alaska so it gets very cold with some snow, but it's not a constant problem where we are by any means).

Any recommendations in the under $400 range?

I have a 2015 jeep patriot but it has hand crank windows I wanted to add power windows how would I go about doing that would I just need a new wiring harness and the motor for the window or do i need a whole new glass peace, that holds the glass in place too

I don't hate it...

I'm trying to hardwire my dash cam but can't tell which side is the hot side in the fusebox to make sure I'm using the tap correctly. Does anyone know if they are powered on the left or right? I'm assuming left but I'm not 100% sure.

I wanted to do a coolant change on my 2008 Wrangler, and when I went to buy coolant concentrate which should be Mopar #68048953AA, I find information that indicates that this part number has been superceeded by #68048953AC.

Ok, no big deal...Except that this coolant is very clearly purple/pink, not orange, which I thought meant it was OAT instead of HOAT? But everywhere I check seems to indicate that this it the "right" coolant. am I just getting too hung up on the color?

Hello everyone I have a 2017 wrangler 6 cylinder with 55k miles. I just had the 4x4 service done, replaced the oil adaptive housing with aluminum, transmission service done, coolant flush, and a brand new battery.

It sounds like it wants to start, but is having a hard time. I’m thinking it’s the fuel pump because once it starts it runs fine and will restart no problem. I think the pump might just be losing pressure overnight??? Thanks for any advice

My “low beam” lights are drawing 75.5 amps?(I think it’s amps?) but won’t turn on? It’ll sporadically dip to 0 and the light will function, but then jump back to about 75.5.

Running Baja Designs LP6 and the high beam function still works, and I can hear the relay click over but the low beam only works when switch 2 is not drawing 75.5 amps.

Is there a short somewhere? Is the wiring harness for the lights damaged? Are the actual lights damaged?

Just looking for help. Thanks.

So I took my 2024 Sahara 4xe to the dealership for a check engine light, and they decided they needed to swap the transmission, under warranty of course, how long do you guys think it will take them?

So I know nothing about cars and could use some advice. My check engine light came on recently, so i took my 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK to Jiffy lube to have it checked out (don’t worry, I’m not getting it serviced there). They told me that the thermostat needs to be replaced and also suggested a radiator flush. I have a few questions: Is the radiator flush needed? How urgent do I need to repair this? Also, anything I should know about getting it replaced or what to ask for? Any idea how much it’ll cost to be replaced? Thanks in advance for your help!

I’ve been lurker on this sub since I purchased my Wrangler in May. I’ve loved mostly every minute of Jeep ownership besides a few small dealer issues that aren’t manufacture related….until this week. I go to get an oil change by a family member rather than at the dealer due to holiday travel. He tells me that the noise I chalked up to wind 💨 is actually grinding/whistling. After lifting and deconstruction turns out, my rear differential is shot. My wrangler only has 29,xxx miles!

My technical questions are: Has anyone else experienced this issue? What was the process like after bringing it to the dealer for maintenance? My area has no open appointments for over a week! Were you provided a loaner? Did stellantis offer to reimburse your payment? (Long shot, I know). I’m pissed but not surprised based on me stalking this sub for months. I really hope I don’t regret my big purchase but I’m starting to based on the customer service when an issue arises that is not my fault. Sorry for the rant of questions mixed with statements. Ugh!

Hey everyone. I’m hoping somebody has had a similar problem because I can’t find out where the water is leaking from.

Essentially, when it rains, UNDER my drivers floor mat gets SOAKED! Most of the time, you wouldn’t notice because the top of the floor mat is completely dry. Nothing else is wet. Seats. Dry. Dash. Dry. Console. Dry. No water is leaking from overhead and it’s only under the mat.

Has this happened to anybody?

FYI I have a 22 gladiator.

Behold the beast with gears of might,

Forged for snow and mud’s cruel fight.

Old wheels spun with 2.73,

But now, 4.1 calls to me.

Shall deeper bite and stronger tread,

Outmatch the past, where paths have bled?

Through frost and mire, the truth shall tell,

If the new beast fares its legend well.

My old Jeep and I spent almost as much time in snow and mud as we did on asphalt, but after 170K miles, a fading transmission, and mounting other ailments it was time.

As of this morning it has been replaced in my driveway (but not my heart) with a brand new 2024 Rubicon, same wheel size (35" on 17" rims) and similar ride height.

I’ve read the specs, and I know what the numbers mean on paper. That gear ratio "determines how power from the engine is translated into speed and torque at the wheels" and that a higher gear ratio translates to "more torque to the wheels, making it easier to accelerate", "excels in situations where torque is critical", and "provides increased towing capacity".

It will be a few weeks before I’ll see the trails, likely frozen, muddy, snowy, or all three. Until then, I’ll wonder: What can I expect when I finally take it into the mud and snow?

If you’ve made a similar switch, please share your stories.

Just to vent a little. I had a 2019 Wrangler Sahara's engine eat itself with less than 20,000 miles on the odometer 2 years ago leaving me, my two kids, and dog stranded 100 miles from our home. I traded it in for a 2023 4xE Willys last year and now a year and a half later, at 23,000 miles it needs a new transmission (not to mention the 4xE recall). Both issues are under warranty so it's no expense out of my pocket however Jeep is refusing to give me a loaner while they have my Jeep for a week or more and my other car is a track car and not street legal so I'm left without a vehicle.

I'm paying out of pocket for a rental and all this has just left me aggravated and annoyed. My previous car was a BMW and even post warranty service, they would give me a loaner, even for something small like an oil change. I know it's a bit more of a premium brand but shouldn't any warranty work, especially something major like replacing drivetrain components warrant a loaner!!??

I plan to fight Jeep to cover the cost of this rental but now that's just me spending my own personal time to fight them when my own personal time is already at a premium thanks to being a single dad with two teenagers who live with me full-time. I don't expect much here, I just needed to vent and also I guess warn others what Jeep is doing these days to their customers.

Cant really find any information on this anywhere, but hoping to have an idea what it will cost to fix the screen before i pay any diagnostic fees.

2013 Jeep JK 170k miles. I do not have the lifter/rocker tick. Replacing valve covers due to leaks. How do these camshafts look? Do they need replacing?

I got a new Grand Cherokee a few months ago and every time I drive it, there’s always 3 random beeps that happen all the time. Any clue what they are?

They’re not beeps that sound like something is wrong, more like notification beeps but just the noise, no pop ups or anything

Idk if it’s just me but going down the highway in my 04 TJU at 60mph or even in town at 45mph it feels like I’m going machjesus, whereas in my wife’s mini cooper going 35 feels like you’re crawling. Is this just a me thing or is there an actual deal about this??

So I’m looking to get some rock lights for my bfs jeep (2016 hard rock) he really liked the dcs rock lights that fit in the preexisting holes so no drilling but you can only get them in one solid color. Not rgb or anything like that. I have the oracle ones and they do all kinds of fancy stuff and I’ve looked all over and wondered if there are any like the dcs no drilling but also have the options like the oracle lights. Thankssss

Jeep Liberty Kj, I would like to get some wheels and tires that gives a Overland/Prerunner look, any ideas?

I got a 2015 JKU Sport, 106k miles. Just did a thermostat on it tonight and flushed/drained all the coolant I could out the system. Some left over from previous coolant but not to much of concern as the radiator was changed at 103k miles. She’s overheating to about 3/4s on the temp, then bumps down to half again pretty quickly. Has anyone experienced this or what do you recommend?

I got a Mopar Thermstat and used Mopar Coolant, some of it mixed with previous coolant that was left in block which I though I flushed it all out, previous coolant should of been OAT which is what the dealer told me goes into my Jeep.

After replacing the thermostat she holds pressure but tends to overheat and goes right back down, doing it consistently throughout a drive, are turns to cold when heat is on aswell.

Is a 160k+ Grand Cherokee Altidue a good purchase ? Please let me know

English 101 final essay, in 2000 words I have to connect and discuss Discourses within this group. I chose Jeep because of the diverse lineup and as a result the wide range of people that are in this group. I will be going over people's attitudes towards new owners and owners of non-wrangler models, the modifications and customizations deemed acceptable and not acceptable, what makes people dub a car "not a real jeep", and the culture and community in general. Any comments, questions, or suggestions are welcome I'm trying to learn as much as I can about this community in order to get a good grade!

I ended up in a ditch last winter with no damage pretty much. When the tow truck pulled me out I noticed a neon green substance on the snow. Im thinking freeon was leaking from underneath. This past summer my car was blowing hot air.

I will do a leak test next spring.

I am thinking it might be my condensor. Any particular signs I should look for?

2015 jeep wrangler jk

Also my air went from cold to slightly cold to hot within two weeks while it made a hissing noise through the vents

Thank you

Just noticed a few spots of oil on my regular parking spot for our 2011 JK with ~70k miles. I got under it and noticed oil in the spots on the pictures. We've had it since new and have kept up with maintenance, but before I take it to the shop I thought to ask for opinions. Does it look like a transmission oil leak? and if it is and you've had to deal with a repair like that how big was the work and the bill?
