This was meant to be my project that I would keep forever but I have done what I can and it is now time for someone else to take over. 

I purchased this from a family in the Southwest. It belonged to their grandfather and had sat for years with little use. This was a couple years ago. At that time the transmission had just been rebuilt and so had the engine. But it still needed a little more. I have replaced the body mounts, fuel pump, battery, ignition with a MSD ignition, brake pads, clutch, radiator, Borgeson steering shaft, steering box, shocks, seats throughout, Bestop soft top, seat belts, CD player, heater motor, plugs & wires, alternator and brake lines. One nice thing about an old Jeep is that most parts are pretty cheap.

The Jeep runs strong and was my daily driver until I succumb to the cold weather and bought a new Jeep. It does still need a few things and always will, its a Jeep. A little body rust as seen in the photos.This Jeep is not perfect but a very strong base to complete a restoration or even just continue to be daily a driver. You will love it in the summer especially, as I did. 

The tires are 33"X12.50". I do have the hardtop and barrier that goes below the hardtop and of course will be included with the sale. I also have a spare tire not in the photos that is the same size and type that will be included. 4X4 works fine. The gears shift smoothly. The engine runs strong. It just passed a local safety and emission inspection 3 months ago. This truck is road ready.

Apart from the body rust seen, the tachometer doesn't work because of the MSD ignition but can be fixed with an electronic tachometer. The gas gauge shows half when it is actually full. The dash clock doesn't work. The rear view mirror just popped off but will be included. The odometer is not accurate. Mileage is unknown.

I think that is everything but if you have questions don't be shy. 

No reserve.

Chrysler readying 20 Moparized vehicles for SEMA

Tue, 08 Oct 2013

The Las Vegas Convention Center has plenty of space for aftermarket companies and automakers to show off their wares, and it looks like Chrysler is taking advantage of the spacious floor plan. At next month's SEMA Show, Chrysler will have a full 20 cars from its six brands decked out with Mopar gear.
As a hint of what is to come, Chrysler released a handful of teaser sketches showing glimpses of modified Jeep Cherokee, Ram 1500, Fiat 500L and Chrysler 300 concept vehicles. The automaker will also use the venue to show off a new line of Jeep Performance Parts offered by the all-new Mopar Off-Road Division. In addition to the images, Chrysler also issued a brief press release - posted below - breaking down some of the "industry-first features" that Mopar has offered in recent years.

Jeep follows up Super Bowl spot with call to help the USO

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Once again, Chrysler had one of the most talked about Super Bowl commercials with its two-minute Whole Again Jeep spot, which was used to highlight its Operation SAFE Return program for US military personnel returning home from active duty. As part of this campaign, Jeep announced today that it will be donating up to $300,000 to the United Services Organizations (USO), and you can help.
Simply tweet using the #joinOSR hashtag on Twitter, visit the Yahoo! homepage or go to the Jeep Operation SAFE Return website, and Jeep will donate $1 to a fund that provides returning troops things like employment assistance and incentives to buy new vehicles. Jeep is also donating to this charity to the tune of $250 for each Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited (including the Freedom Edition model) and Jeep Patriot Freedom Edition model sold.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee pricing leaks out

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

With our deep dive and auto show coverage of the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee revealed at the Detroit Auto Show, we brought you as much information as Chrysler would allow us to, but one thing we're still left in the dark about was the pricing. It would seem that Jeep Garage might have the answer for that. The Jeep enthusiast forum claims to have gotten its hands on the ordering and pricing breakdown for the updated Grand Cherokee, and while a Jeep representative has yet to get back to us as to the validity of the site's claim, these preliminary numbers look pretty kosher to us.
In base form, the two-wheel-drive Laredo will reportedly start at $28,795, which is a $1,100 increase over the 2013 model year, and the new Grand Cherokee Summit trim level starts at $47,995 for 4x2 models and $50,995 for the 4x4. Waiting for the new diesel engine? The torquey new 3.0-liter oil-burner will be a $4,500 option on Limited, Overland and Summit 4x4 models, but 4x2 pricing (and availability) are not known. As for the range-topping Grand Cherokee SRT (no longer called the SRT8), this added performance could run you an extra $2,700 with a new starting price of $62,995. More importantly, loaded to the gills with all available options, the 2014 Grand Cherokee SRT will top out at around $72,400 - or around $6,000 more than a fully loaded 2013 GC SRT8.
We'll let you know if the gang over at Jeep get back to us with any confirmation, but until then, head over to Jeep Garage to see the pricing details it has listed.
