Reputed to be the best Road and hill-climb CJ ever made, I'm the second owner--since 1988. Not desert, but it's always been in arid regions until I now brought it back home. About 12,000 miles ago (just under 191,000 total now), I gave the rig to Fred's paint/body shop, then to Motor Masters, then went through the entire drive train with an officer of the NW 4-Wheel Drive Club. My only instructions were to "go through it thoroughly in detail and repair or replace anything you find wrong or worn." They/We did, including a completely rebuilt engine, new efficiency carb (when trying to get the best I could, I got 25 mi/gal), new exhaust system, all brakes, only 1 gear showed wear and was replaced, replaced any body metal as needed prior to paint, rhino lined inside cabin & bed, complete custom paint, only 1 seat panel needed, then TUFF seat covers with front & rear pockets plus one hidden within driver reach, installed a dbbl-lock security console, fog & reverse lights, secured sound system in which only the remote control shows, marine carpeting w/ mud mats, bikini, safari, tonneau & spare tire covers, nerf bars and a rear bumper with frame-strengthened hitch (3/16 &1/4 " steel). Now getting old with most every joint hurting or replaced, I'm into comfort, and when I got a Polaris to run the horse trails with my dog and grandchildren, my wife and I agreed, if you know how that goes, to only have one baby left around here (56 Dodge). I gave the same instructions to my current mechanic and bodyman I did before. Here's what's left now that they have checked her out: There is a curb scuff on a tire, a 1/4" tear in the dash, replace one bed snap for the tonneau, sno wheels need repaint & factory chromes have some pitting, surface (only) rust underneath on the frame(not body), a small ding on the right door interior (I couldn't get it to show in a picture) and the standard inside crack in the plastic on both doors just under the window. The gearshift boot tore last month, and I'll order a new one of those. To perfect the rig now, I would replace the window insulation/seals and duplicate the HD bumper to the front as is now in the rear. I cut the metal for this but never welded it together. Occasionally tighten the HD valve cover to prevent oil leak. I put a new battery in her and muffler/tailpipe. You have one more season or more on the tires depending on the miles you drive. Besides the metal for the bumper, I have a couple of seats that could be mounted in the bed if you like the idea--we could work something out. Look at the pictures. Tell me by email if you want more. If EBay doesn't automatically include an auto check history, I can send one of those, too. I won't ship it, but I would work with your shipper--after bank certification of payment. Fair? Thanks for your interest. Whether you win or not, I hope you enjoy the auction.

NHTSA closes book on Jeep 'trailer hitch' recall after all

Mon, 20 Jan 2014

After much debating and hand-wringing, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration now says it has "no reservations" with Chrysler's plan to recall certain Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokee models over concerns that their fuel tanks, which are located behind the rear axle, could rupture or leak in the event of a rear impact. The longstanding argument between the two entities saw Chrysler openly defy the Feds after a request to recall 2.7 million units back in June.
Chrysler's "voluntary campaign" will instead see it recall 1.56-million 1993-2004 model year Grand Cherokee SUVs, along with 2002-2007 Liberty models. Affected vehicles will get a trailer hitch installed free of charge, which Chrysler says will provide an additional degree of protection for the fuel tanks in the event of a crash. Jeeps with Mopar-branded hitches or hitches that were installed at the factory aren't affected by this recall.
Chrysler's argument throughout this battle has been that the Jeeps in question are no more susceptible to fires than comparable vehicles from the same time period, a position that NHTSA has seemingly arrived at as well. "Those vehicles performed at a rate similar to their peers. That is the keystone analysis as to whether something poses an unreasonable risk to safety," said outgoing NHTSA boss David Strickland during an interview with the The Associated Press.

Freak accident during Jeep demonstration turns fatal

Mon, 20 May 2013

A 20-year-old woman was killed in Edmonton, Canada on Satuday, reports CTV News, in a freak accident resulting from a rollover during a Jeep demonstration. As part of a fundraising enthusiast event called "Jeeps Go Topless," the driver of one Jeep Wrangler drove up and onto the top of the tire of another.
CTV reports that the owner of the topmost Jeep then switched the vehicle off, posed for pictures and then dismounted from his vehicle. His movement off of the Jeep apparently caused it to tip over, crushing a woman who was on top of an adjacent vehicle. Edmonton police are currently investigating more fully what caused the parking lot accident to occur. Scroll below to watch the CTV News video report about this tragic incident.

Watch this 650-hp Hennessey Jeep Grand Cherokee go from 0-60 in 3.9 seconds

Tue, 14 May 2013

Hennessey Performance Engineering has created an HPE650 package for the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT fitted with the 6.4-liter Hemi engine. When it leaves the showroom floor it has 470 horsepower and gets from 0-60 miles per hour in 4.8 seconds. When it leaves Hennessey's garage floor after the upgrade it has 650 horsepower - 530 hp at the wheels, according to Hennessey - and gets to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds on its way to running the quarter-mile in 12.6 seconds.
There's more than just a Roots-type supercharger bolt-on, with ported cylinder heads and high-flow headers among the many changes made to the engine. You can watch this pre-2014 facelift silver model prove its spec sheet on the drag strip in the video below.
