This Jeep is in very good condition and it is going to be hard to find a vehicle like this one for the money. The paint is Viper Red and is in pretty good condition, there are some imperfections in it.

The motor is a Grooms High Performance 350 with 4000 miles and the motor is rated at around 300HP. The motor is running 9.5 to 1 flat top pistons, 280 comp cam, and built 963 heads. The transmission is a 350 turbo with a hurst ratchet shifter in the floor changing the gears. The transfer case is a NP205 with custom shifters to make it easier to go from 2L, 2H, 4L, and 4H... that's right -- four selections :-)

The Dana 44 rear axle has been completely rebuilt and runs 4:10 gears with a Detroit TruTrac locker. The Dana 30 front axle also has been completely rebuilt and it also runs 4:10 gears. With this set-up the jeep is running custom driveshafts to the front and rear axles. This Jeep's steering is running a new rebuilt steering box and Flaming River Shaft.

Suspension is made up with a 4" SkyJacker Soft Ride lift, custom 1 1/4" body lift, and a 1/2" shackle lift. The shackles are built out of 1/2"x 2 1/2" plate with a 2"x 2" center support. The tires are BRAND NEW 35 x 12.50 Mickey Thompson Baja MTZs running on 15x10 aluminum wheels. To help get your flex on even more in this jeep just undo the sway bar disconnects up front and you're good to go.

The interior has Think Jeep front seats and a Bestop Fold and Tumble rear seat, the seat belts are also new and they are 3" racing belts up front and 2" in the rear. The inside of the tub is coated with Hercules roll in bed liner. The Windshield and the windshield gasket is also new. On the body parts there are lots of new parts and they are one-piece fiberglass front end, fender flares, all new Stainless Steel bumpers, windshield and tailgate hinges, mirrors, alum. rocker guards, corners, and half doors, and there are many more new parts that are stainless or alum..

For cover this jeep comes with Hard Top, Hard Doors, and bikini top. The only reason I am selling this jeep is because I have bought another project to build and I can't have that many toys. This jeep has over $20,000 invested in it not counting all of the labor. There are still many new parts on this Jeep that I have not mentioned and everything that I have for a jeep that is not on this one will go with this one. I have parts that I have never taken out of the box for this jeep.

** I would NOT consider this Jeep a daily driver in its current configuration. It is perfectly streetable going to the trails, camping, around town, etc. but it is set up for off-road primarily.

2014 Jeep Cherokee dreams of Moab, crawls on stage [w/video]

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

The all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee inched its way onto the stage at the New York Auto Show today, proving that at least the "Trail Rated" version of the SUV is more than just a controversial unique odd fresh face in the mid-size segment. After the short, simulated Moab run by the Trailhawk model, the gray four-door was joined on the stage by a burgundy Limited model - the luxurious highway variant.
As a recap, the all-new 2014 Cherokee rides atop a modular Alfa Romeo-derived platform (we know it from the Dodge Dart) and will be offered in both front- and all-wheel drive models with a choice between a 2.4-liter four-cylinder (rated at 184 horsepower) and a new 3.2-liter Pentastar V6 (developing 271 horsepower) engine. A nine-speed automatic is standard and no less than three different all-wheel drive systems are available.
Of the four different models (Sport, Latitude, Limited, and Trailhawk), we like the rugged looks and capabilities offered by the Trailhawk the best. Overlook the red tow hooks and check out its more aggressive wheel/tire package, flared fenders, reduced breakover angle and lack of brightwork in our gallery of live images from the New York show. Skid plates and off-road capable tires round out the package. Read all the details in the official press release below.

Marchionne: Midsize pickup still not in the cards; Ram 1500, Jeep Wrangler could use aluminum

Wed, 07 May 2014

During the Fiat-Chrysler briefings on Tuesday, Reid Bigland, head of Ram Trucks, outlined the new product plans for his brand, including confirmation that an all-new light-duty Ram 1500 will launch in 2017. From there, discussions spun off in two directions, with the main questions being: will Ram build a midsize pickup? And, following Ford's move to extensively use aluminum in its new 2015 F-150, will Chrysler be using this weight-saving material for the next round of its fullsize truck, as well?
"I think there is room for a Ram 1000," Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne (pictured above) told members of the media, saying this is a conversation the automaker has been having internally for several years now. "We've tried this ... we've actually taken it to clinics," Marchionne stated, adding that the "response has been lukewarm."
"I have better use of aluminum in this house than a pickup truck." - Sergio Marchionne

Some Jeep Cherokees and Chrysler 200s to get standard stop-start in 2015

Wed, 25 Jun 2014

Automakers the world over are striving to find ways to make their models more efficient, and Chrysler has a solution for some versions of the 2015 Chrysler 200 and 2015 Jeep Cherokee (2014 model shown). The Tigershark 2.4-liter four-cylinder in the 200 and the 3.2-liter Pentastar V6 in the Cherokee are getting a slight boost later this year thanks to the addition of Chrysler's Engine Stop-Start system as standard equipment. The company predicts modest gains - a three-percent improvement in fuel economy and a three percent reduction in CO2 emissions with the new tech compared to without it. While it's not much, those who sit in traffic a lot may see a difference.
Chrysler's stop/start system uses a high-speed starter motor to restart the vehicle in a claimed a third of a second. It works by detecting when the vehicle comes to a stop and turning off the engine. A more powerful battery maintains all of the model's accessories while it sits. When the driver lets off the brake, the car starts up again to drive away. There is even a button in the cabin to turn the ESS off, if desired.
The Jeep will be the first to receive ESS in the third quarter of this year to coincide with the start of production of the 2015 model-year version. The 200 will follow in the fourth quarter as a rolling change in production.
