1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.9
Description
I have decided to sell my Jeep grand cherokee. It is the one year only, hard to find, 1998 Grand Cherokee with a 5.9L engine. I believe the color is called deep slate, but it is almost black. I bought the jeep in stock form about 6 years ago and have built it into a very capable crawler and great daily driver. It is in very good condition inside and out, There surface scratches from branches and a couple small paint flaws but for a 1998 it is really nice. The jeep runs really strong and has never burned oil. It currently has 175k miles but almost everything is new or rebuilt. The previous owner told me the motor was rebuilt but I have no documentation to prove this. The tranny was gone through a couple years ago and has always worked perfectly. The leather seats and carpet are in near perfect condition. The sunroof works but the siding cover has a tendency to come off its sliders when you open it. I have not fixed it because I almost never use the sunroof and the cover stays closed and does not slide around on its own. The drivers side heated seat quit working this winter and I have not taken it apart to splice the broken wire back together. As far as I am aware everything else inside works great. A/C, power windows, seats, and mirrors. It is not my only wheeler so it has not had a ton of miles put on it since the build was completed. I have taken it to Moab and run many of the popular trails without any problems. I work at a off road shop as a fabricator and builder so most of the work was done there. This thing is at home going 85mph or more down the interstate, taking the family into the mountains as well as difficult rock crawling.

This is a really capable well built jeep that I have a ton of time and over $25k in parts. It needs a good home.
