I bought this Jeep about 5 years ago and have spent a lot of time and energy building it up. The paint and body work was the first item completed and has some light scuffs as shown in the pics, went retro with the front grill and headlights, 6" BJ's lift, 35" KM2's (less than 5k miles) on M/T wheels, boxed the frame, moved the spare to the rear bumper to install a larger fuel tank in it's place. Stock Dana 44's front/rear. I swapped out the front seats with a pair of leather power dodge electric seats, kept factory rear seat. Replaced the carpet, stereo/speakers, new guages. Almost every item BJ's Off Road sells has been installed.

The engine is an original AMC 401 that was bored only 10 over to clean it up. The stock crank was offset ground to use chevy sized rods to increase the stroke, then balanced with the rods and pistons as an assembly, it is now about 418 ci. Custom Diamond pistons with 10.5:1 compression, file fit rings, Barry Allen ported heads, block machine work and build up of short block was by Stockton Machine Shop in CA (over $8500 and 4 months in short block). Each step of the machine work was done to match each component, including decking the block to match TDC of the 4 corner pistons. Comp Cams roller cam, Comp Cams solid roller lifters with Harland Sharp roller rockers. Holley fuel pump and Truck Avenger Carp on Edelbrock Air-Gap intake. All MSD ignition including wires. Due to the high compression this Jeep requires premium fuel. BJ's aluminum radiator/electric fan combo with matching aluminum overflow and washer containers. Custom ceramic coated headers with dual 3" side exiting exhaust through Magnaflow mufflers. Both the intake and headers were port matched to the heads. Rebuilt TH400 trans with all the performance upgrades, Alto Red clutches, deep aluminum with cooling fins pan, etc (over $2500 in trans build). B&M Racing transmission cooler with self contained fan and temp switch.  Additional electric pusher fan in front of the radiator. Custom serpentine belt system instead of V-belts. Power brake booster replaced by a hydraulic system (Chevy hydroboost) for better stopping. Under hood and engine bay cleaned, sanded and sprayed with bed liner before the engine and related parts were installed. Added steering stabilizer, custom off-road bumpers with swing out tire rack and gas can holder.

I have taking this Jeep to trails in TN, KY, CO, NV, CA, and AZ, lots of fun, but I have been working in Hawaii for the past 2 years and just sitting in the garage is not good for it. Since I will probably be spending most of my time the next couple of years in Hawaii I need to sell some of my toys in Tennessee.

Before bidding please understand that this is a 34 year old Jeep, it has been wheeled and is not a show truck, floor pans have been replaced, all custom engine work etc. so I'm selling without any warranty or guarantee. I do have title in hand and can take Paypal. $1000 deposit within 48 hours, balance in 7 days.

Six 'shut up and take my money' cars

Tue, 11 Nov 2014

Any time you see this iconic moment in pop culture - Shut up and take my money! - posted in response to a new car reveal, rumor for an upcoming model or even lip-service to a vehicle that should exist, you can bet there's some intrinsic good in the idea. Though depending on the person offering up the cash, that good could take the form of extraordinary form, functionality, weight savings, power, handling, etc. You get the idea.
In fact, when I first proposed this list, I reached out to the Autoblog staff to help me brainstorm. Here are some of the ideas they offered up that I ultimately didn't use: Jaguar XE Coupe, Pagani Huayra Roadster, Mercedes-Benz S-Class "parade car" (cabriolet), Morgan 3-Wheeler with Ducati V-twin, Ford Transit Connectamino (pickup), Mercedes CLA63 AMG, Ford Fusion 5.0, BMW i8 Spyder, Lexus RC-F Shooting Brake, Volvo XC90 Polestar. Oh, and things we collectively wanted to stick Dodge's Hellcat in were almost as numerous as models that Fiat Chrysler Automotive currently makes (though none quite so compelling as the Grand Cherokee you see above.)
Ultimately though, while I used a couple of ideas from my colleagues, the list of cars I'd shell out for unquestionably is very personal. Though it isn't complete, what follows is a selection of cars whose very existence would prompt me - or the trust-fund-baby versions of me - to utter without hesitation: "Shut up and take my money."

Chrysler accelerates Jeep recall repairs from 2018 to March

Thu, 17 Jul 2014



You may remember that Jeep's unusual fix for this recall involves fitting a trailer hitch.
The recall of about 1.5 million models of the 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty and 1993-1998 Grand Cherokee over fuel tanks may finish far sooner than originally estimated. In a new filing from Jeep's parent, Chrysler Group, with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the company says that it can complete the repairs for the affected vehicles by March 2015, much sooner than the previous estimate of sometime in 2018. Jeep predicts the total cost of the campaign will be around $151 million.

Chrysler resolves recall issue with NHTSA, will inspect, upgrade affected Jeeps

Tue, 18 Jun 2013

Chrysler made big news earlier in the month by refusing a recall request from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for the 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty. Last week, NHTSA boss David Strickland countered by defending his agency's request for the recall of 2.7 million Jeep SUVs. Today marked the deadline for Chrysler to formally respond to NHTSA, and it seems that both parties have met in the middle with Chrysler inspecting and upgrading some of the affected vehicles without using the word "recall," which would constitute the admission of a defect; instead, Chrysler said that it is conducting a "voluntary campaign."
At issue on these vehicles is the positioning of the fuel tank behind the rear axle that could get damaged during a rear-end collision. NHTSA has stated that at least 51 people have been killed in rear-end collisions involving these Jeeps after the vehicles caught fire, to which Chrysler countered by pointing out that both models "met and exceeded" the requirements for fuel-system integrity.
As a compromise on the situation, Chrysler says that it will inspect all pre-2004 Grand Cherokees and pre-2007 Liberty models and, "if necessary, provide an upgrade to the rear structure of the vehicle." According to Automotive News, this upgrade will consist of adding a trailer hitch that will presumably better protect the rear-mounted gas tank. Vehicles already equipped with a factory or Mopar hitch will not be modified. Chrysler's official statement on the matter is posted below, but no additional information has been released, such as when the campaign will begin and how many vehicles could be affected.
