Stolen 1998 ZJ Grand Cherokee - Green - Mild Build - Murray, UT - 9/2/2012

[ret32]

A good buddy of mine had a Jeep stolen from his dealership.

Where: Stolen from Daily Driver Automotive 4659 South State Street, Murray, UT 84107 http://utahdailydriver.com/

When: It was there at 5pm Sat 9/1/12. It wasn't there 11am Mon 9/3/12

What: 1998 ZJ Grand Cherokee, green, mild build, 4" Rusty's lift, 33/12.50/15 BFG KM2s (old style), well outfitted with Iceland Offroad "Go Berserk" stuff (fender flares and front non-winch bumper, all painted to match), see pictures below.

If anybody sees it or sees parts start showing up somewhere, contact Craig at Daily Driver Automotive 801-268-0375.

I know very little about the vehicle, I've only seen it once and did a less than 5 minute walk around and looksee, so for more information or questions please contact Craig. Craig doesn't frequent RME very often, but (not that it should matter as far as helping hunt down his vehicle or parts) he has been very supportive of U4WDA, his dealership helped sponsor the NPLD postcards that went out a couple weeks ago and he has unwittingly taken on the new membership director position for U4WDA (the the most thankless volunteer position in the organization I believe)

Bummer, nice looking ZJ. Good luck.

Has the dealership kept a log of everyone who has test driven it? Chances are that someone made a spare key while on a test drive and came back to drive it away. That ZJ doesn't appear to have a factory anti-theft system so it would have made it even easier.

Yes, Craig has a few suspicions and is looking into them accordingly.

sucks. That area of town has serious theft problems. Ask me why I moved...

I'll keep my eye's open

It was also a 4.0 if it's the one I'm thinking of. I saw one just like from a dealer on KSL and remember the description.

Here is the KSL ad

Correct. It is a Laredo with the 4.0.

Will keep my eyes open for this. If it is still in the area it should not take too long to spot.

I did see one kind of like that today in springville. Bumper looks familiar. But I'm not sure.

I will keep my eye out . Where in springville ? I could play pi

Approx 500~700 ish north and main street, driving.

Thanks for keeping the eyes open. It's unique enough it should be easy to spot if it's out and about and still in the area. The more eyes the better.

I let Craig know.

Just throwing out there again I'm not claiming I saw the stolen jeep for sure, possibly just a similar one. But I am in springville almost every day I will keep my eyes peeled for the one I saw to confirm or deny.

There actually is an identical green one around with the same bumper and flares but has a tan interior, so don't run up on someone if it has the tan interior, even though it is a complete turd.

Let hope it doesn't end up like my friends bike. they found it today like this after it got stolen a week ago

 

[Omgbecki]

That's too bad. I hope it's found safe and sound.

 

[ret32]

There were some kids from Springville who test drove it about 3 weeks ago.

The one I saw in springville had a couple mid twenty year olds on it.
