What is the "Jeep Mystique" anyway? Well, let's just say that no other vehicle in the history of auto making has ever captured the imagination of so many.

Since it's birth from necessity, and trial by fire at the beginning and during the United States of America's involvement in World War II, the Jeep became much more than it was ever intended.

The first designer's were originally commissioned by the U.S. military to build a small utilitarian reconnaissance vehicle, but that little 4x4 spine jarring rig ended up wearing many hats during the war.

The first Jeeps were used to haul Generals, carry mounted 50 caliber machine guns, tow artillery weapons, serve as field ambulances and much more.

Today the Jeep has undergone many changes and there have been a number of different models which have departed from the early military style.  However, the heritage of those original "Universal" style Jeeps from WWII lived on in the:

• Willys-Overland CJ (civilian Jeep),
• Kaiser (Willys) CJ,
• AMC and Chrysler Wrangler YJ, TJ, and
• the current JK models.

Along the way there have been:

• 2 1/2 ton Jeep military trucks,
• civilian Jeep pickup trucks,
• car-like Jeepsters,
• Jeep forward control trucks,
• delivery vans and Postal Jeeps, and
• SUV styles such as the Wagoneer, Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, Liberty, Commander, Patriot and Compass.

Why do so many of us admire this unusual hunk of metal, plastic and rubber?  

I can't speak for anyone else, but to me the Jeep symbolizes freedom on several fronts.  First, is it's initial historical role in helping to liberate oppressed people around the world and restoring freedom and liberty...and secondly, is Jeeps functional ability to go places where most other vehicles can not.

So, the Jeep Mystique can be summed up as a reminder of our freedoms and our responsibilities to fight to maintain those freedoms if need be.  It's a love affair for many Americans and folks around the world that has been going on since 1940 through today.  

But on a lighter note, to most of us the Jeep Mystique simply means that these rigs are...well, just plain fun to own and drive.

Matthias Jeschke Set New High Altitude World Record Aboard the Jeep Wrangler

Matthias Jeschke, the German off road enthusiast who made the first High Altitude World Record in 2005 aboard a Toyota Land Cruiser has once again set up a new record-breaking high altitude. This time, Jeschke and his team successfully made the high altitude world record in March 13th using two standard Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 3.8 V6 model after a grueling week of expedition and navigation in Ojos del Salado located in the South American mountain range of Chile.

On the first day of expedition in Copiapó province in Chile, Matthias Jeschke's team was divided into several groups. These include Two camera teams that will capture the actions in the team's adventure; purchasing team that bought the last requirements; branding team who covered the cars with stickers of the team's sponsors; engineering team that made the special electronic installation; and the navigation team who set up several notebook PCs, GPS equipment, satellite-phones and other things needed for the expedition.

On the 3rd day, most of the team members got a headache, dizzy spell, and a sick feeling because of restless nights spent on the mountain. Matthias Jeschke checked the performance of all team members in order to get them into the suitable groups for the following days of adventure. In addition, the team also conducted a hard testing for the Jeep Wrangler vehicles. The team tested the Jeep Wrangler's capability in driving over boulders, rocks and sand, as well as the tipping limits of the off-road vehicle. Moreover, the engineering team checked the differential locks, shocks steering stabilizers, chassis parts, Jeep grille guard, and other technical features of the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon.

During the 11th day of expedition, Matthias Jeschke's team went up the Ojos del Salado, to a height of 6120 meters, and with huge effort of all team members, the Jeep Wrangler went up to a height of 6358 meters, which is the old record mark he made last 2005.

The biggest challenge was on March 12, the day before Matthias Jeschke made the new high altitude world record using the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. He said: "The team is exhausted. For days we have spent very much time in high altitude. It was windy all the time, and there was sand everywhere which flew into your ears and into any little gap. Climbing was only possible by a supreme effort to the point of exhaustion. Working in the burning sun (which tans the face although it is ice-cold was) also really challenging. Thus, you can see it was time for one day off."

Finally, on March 13th, Matthias Jeschke and his team successfully climbed to an impressive altitude of 6646 meters aboard the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. According to Jeschke, he is sure that no other person will ever reach or even break his unbelievable altitude because the already reached the top between both secondary summits, only 247 meters below the top of the Ojos del Salado and Chile-Atacama mountains.

What should I pay for a 88 Jeep Grand Wagoneer on lien sale, its in near perfect condition?

The reason for it being at tow yard was the person did not have a driver license or have insurance for it. Is gray metalliac with wood paneling that seems to be new.

Well geographic region play a part in value. Where I live in N. Ca. , esp. with a bad economy, MAYBE 1500-2k if its really cherry. 800-1000 bucks for a nice one.
That's a pretty good jeep, good luck!~Dan

1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Not sure. from North America - Comments
When I first got it, I had to replace the brakes, my power steering pump was leaking, and the gaskets form my roof rack leaked. It throws oil. I had a blow out with really bald tires. I had to replace the head liner. Driver side window came off of the track.
