 Hi, Up for sale is my 88 CherokeeI originally bought the jeep 3 years ago and built it up in California, I moved Illinois and had it shipped back.  It spent its entire life, up until this past winter in California, so it has no rust.  I have kept all the receipts for this build along with the parts instruction manuals.  The odometer says 225,000, but that is only on the body, everything else has been replaced. Here's a list of all that is on it.

"racing red" paint job done by Miracle auto body
rustys 6.5 inch long arm kit
skyjacker shocks
teraflex revolver shackles in the rear
extended brake lines front and rear
Dana 44 rear with axle truss, 4.56 gears and a detroit limited slip locker
Front High Pinion dana 30 out of a 97 cherokee, has stronger axle shafts, with axle truss, 4.56 gears with a lock rite "no slip" locker
rustys steering brace
Extended bump stops in the front
rustys frame stiffener
upgraded to an open style radiator system
3 core radiator
two electric radiator fans, new style from 97 and newer cherokees, wired to two separate switches
brake booster from a V8 Grand cherokee

custom rear bumper and tire carrier with jerry can mounts and two jerry cans

rugged ridge HD steering
interior Rockhard roll cage
JKS quick disconnects for the front sway bar

New cat
upgraded exhaust manifold and intermediate pipe
flowmaster muffler
Stereo by Pyle, four speakers, head unit and 1000 watt amp

The jeep has been wheeled and is unstoppable, it has some rock rash on the wheels and on the body, but the paint is still glossy and looks great.  There are two things that need a little bit of work.  There is some interference coming through the speakers, I've been told it just needs a better ground.  It also needs an alignment.  It drives straight and tracks fine, but the steering wheel is cocked at a strange angle.   If you have any other questions or want more pictures, let me know.  Thanks for looking.

Maserati Levante crossover not Jeep based after all?

Thu, 20 Feb 2014

Maserati has been teasing its crossover project since 2011, which is when it first showed off the Kubang concept (pictured above). Still, the production version, rumored to be called the Levante, remains a complete mystery. The CUV was first rumored to borrow the platform from the Jeep Grand Cherokee, but new rumors indicate that the Italian, luxury crossover might actually take the underpinnings from the Quattroporte and Ghibli.
In a brief interview, Maserati CEO Harald Wester told CNN Money that the Levante wouldn't use Jeep's platform. Motor Trend spoke with an unnamed Maserati engineer who confirmed the rumor. Officially, the company says that no decision has been made.
We can add this to another long list of rumors about the Italian CUV. It was originally supposed to be built at Chrysler's Jefferson North assembly plant in Detroit. Then, plans were changed to build it in Italy.

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.
