This jeep was purchased in 2011 from Arizona w/ 60,000 original miles & original paint. (see picture in listing) It was brought to Texas then sold to a local gentleman who wanted to make it a nice daily driver.
Here`s where the fun began! He decided he wanted to do a frame on custom cosmetic restoration with nothing but black & white inside and out!(I have pics from start to finish)Everything on this jeep was removed except for the motor & transmission! The body was in excellent condition w/ only one minor rust spot on the rear quarter panel. The jeep was painted 2011 ford white. For easy cleaning the interior was lined then painted to match. After the paint work was complete it was put on the lift & every single part on the undercarriage was removed. The under body was then coated w/ under coating for future protection. Front and rear differentials were disassembled,blasted,primed and painted then reassembled w/ all new seals,bearings,axles & u-joints in axles. Front & rear driveshafts blasted , painted , and new u-joints,
All new brake rotors,calipers,pads,drums,wheel cylinder,hardware & steel braided brake lines. All new steering linkage and rod ends were also installed. A 2 1/2 inch skyjacker soft ride suspension was installed along w/ nitro shocks and new shackles. The jeep is riding on 31/10.50/15 goodyear MT/R w/ kevlar & MT classic 2 black aluminum wheels.
Now back to the rest of the jeep. After the paint was cut & buffed we installed a special ordered black scrambler stripe package,all new kentrol black stainless hinges,paddle handles & mirrors were installed. Every rubber on this jeep was replaced along w/ tailgate cables & latches,rear LED lights, new side marker and parking lights,fender flares,fuel filler trim ect. I built front & rear custom bumpers. Rear is a swing away style the front is just a basic bumper w/ hella lights and roller fair lead added. It also has a 3/8 plate winch mount w/ a warn 8000 series winch. Bumpers & winch plate have been powder coated along w\ a few other misc. parts on this jeep.
The interior has new best top high back seats,trailmax 2 fold/tumble rear seat,all new seat belts, console,door panels,door handles, window cranks,new cluster overlay,new cluster & gauges. IT HAS A VERY NICE SOUND SYSTEM ALSO.
I know this is long but just trying to give you an idea of the amount of money and labor that went into this jeep.
As far as the engine and transmission they are still pretty much original w/ all the emissions in place. They both have been serviced and are in very good operating condition. The engine had a complete tune up prior to starting all this work. There has been a little over 400 miles put on it since it was completed a year ago march. It is being sold because of the lack of use! I know i`ve forgotten a lot so if you have any questions please feel free to give me a call or shoot me an email.
325-456-2749 or terrydavis66@yahoo.com
I have well over 100 pictures of the entire project so if you want to see something particular just let me know.
Thanks for looking god bless and have a great day.

Jeep Renegade pricing to start at $18,595?
Fri, 14 Mar 2014While there's no shortage of excitement surrounding the new Jeep Renegade, one of the limiting factors to the little trucklet will be its price. With the Kia Soul starting at $14,900 and the Nissan Juke kicking off at $18,990, the Renegade can't afford to stray away from that price bracket.
And judging by some potentially leaked pricing info, it won't. A quick Google search of "Jeep Renegade Price" reveals (at least for now) that the Italian-built Jeep will start at $18,595. The "as shown" price of $25,895 seems to indicate the Trailhawk model shown on Jeep's consumer page.
If the $18,595 figure is correct, it's likely for the base, two-wheel-drive Sport model, with the Latitude and Limited trims falling somewhere between there and the $25,895 as-equipped price of the Trailhawk.
Toledo gets proactive in fight to keep Jeep Wrangler
Wed, 08 Oct 2014Let's make this very plain - the city of Toledo, OH loves its Jeeps. It loves them so fervently that the very rumor of the Jeep Wrangler moving out of its traditional home prompted the city's mayor, D. Michael Collins, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich to hold a weekend conference call with Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne.
"The purpose of this call was for the mayor and governor to gain clarity on Mr. Marchionne's comments last week regarding the possibility of the next generation of Jeep Wrangler being built at a location other than the Toledo North Assembly Plant," a spokesman for the mayor's office told The Toledo Blade.
While no further commitments were made by any party, Collins and Kasich's statement was quite unequivocal about keeping Toledo's unwillingness to let the Wrangler go, saying "the city and its partners will again rise to the occasion to ensure that the new Wrangler is made in Toledo." According to the newspaper, the next step is for face-to-face meetings between officials from Ohio and FCA.
25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango SUVs recalled over brake feel
Mon, 10 Mar 2014Chrysler has announced that it is recalling over 25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from several markets over concerns about brake feel under hard braking. The affected models are from the 2012 and 2013 model years, although the actual dates of production aren't available. 18,700 are in the US, while 825 are in Canada, 530 are in Mexico and a further 5,200 outside of North America.
According to a statement, Chrysler was informed of the issue by a component supplier for the Ready Alert Braking system, which primes the brakes in anticipation of an emergency stop. A component in the system was restricting the flow of brake fluid too much.
As Chrysler is quick to point out, the way the brakes functioned was in compliance with regulations and there are no reported cases of drivers losing braking power. Instead, the issue rests with what Chrysler calls a pedal feel that "was not consistent with customer expectations." So it would seem Chrysler is being proactive and fixing a problem not because there's a legal issue at work, but simply because it doesn't feel the way the manufacturer wants it to. Well done.
