2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4x4 F/T
Posted: October 10th, 2008, 3:34 pm
Hello guys and gals,
I purchased this Grand Cherokee from a lady in Monticello, after selling my truck. Needless to say, I miss my truck. It had to go as it was only a single cab, but now I am on the hunt for an older clean F150 or Silverado Extended Cab/Auto.
I have been doing all of the regular maint. items that need to be done after the purchase of a used vehicle:
-Changed Oil (Castrol 10w-30 w/ WIX Filter)
-Had Radiator taken out, soaked in acid, and flushed
-Installed new Thermostat
-Installed new Radiator fan relay
-Installed new aftermarket radiator fan
-New Air Filter
-New Spark Plugs
There is nothing mechanically wrong with this Jeep. The 4.0 I6 that is in it is bulletproof, which is the main reason that I bought it. It has almost 107,000 miles, and can easily be driven another 200,000. The AC works great!
The vehicle is an automatic and has Selec-Trac 4 Wheel Drive that works perfectly. The Jeep is Champagne with Beige cloth interior in great shape. There is a Clarion CD Player in it. The truck is in great shape inside and out!
The only things that are wrong with this Jeep, are the rear door actuator is going bad. It will still open, just will not unlock with the key fob, but will lock with the key fob. The rear window motor is out. These are common problems with Jeeps, and as they were in the rear, I never messed with them. A new door lock actuator runs about $70, and the motor about $50. If it is a deal breaker, I can and will order the parts and have them fixed.
I have added a couple of items to the Jeep:
-Factory tow hitch and wiring harness. The Jeep has never pulled anything before I got it, as it had never had a tow hitch on it. The new hitch has been used once to pull a small trailer with Kayaks on it. I have a boat, but have not pulled it yet with this truck.
-The plastic bumper covers and lower side cladding on these Jeeps are grey, and tend to fade over time. The front and rear covers have been painted with black plastic satin paint, and look GREAT, much better than the faded plastic. The sides have not been painted yet, but will be painted before any trades.
-Front Westin light bar. This will be left on, unless it is possible to make it fit whatever is traded, as the bar is universal, and brackets are ordered vehicle specific.
As I said the vehicle is in great condition. I don't have any pictures on the computer I am on right now, but I will take pictures for anyone considering a trade, just email me.
I am looking for a 1995 or newer Ford F150 Extended cab or Chevy/GMC Extended cab. It has to be automatic, and under 150,000 miles. I will possibly put up some money if the retail is higher than the Jeep, otherwise, I am looking for a nice, clean truck of equal value to the Jeep.
Please email me with any and all questions!
