Thank you for looking, I am the original owner of this 2009 Jeep Wrangler Saharaand I have taken great care with pride of ownership since new. I always havebeen a power enthusiast ever since owning my first car, a beautiful 1969 Camarowith a small block 327 performance motor. With that being said, I knew thewrangler had a stigma of being underpowered from the factory but I had alwaysloved the versatility, design, and overall "cool" factor that the wrangleroffered. So after a number of years of somewhat sluggish performance, I decidedit was time for the upgrade. After much research and consideration I landed onthe design and installation of the vehicle you see here. The reason I decided togo with the (Chevrolet corvette LS3) vs the typical hemi conversion was mainlytwo fold. (Power-performance to weight ratio, & a much better fit) If I hadchosen the popular Hemi conversion I would have had to do a modification to theengine compartment and firewall due to the engine positioning, which I wasnaturally reluctant to due as structural integrity was a concern for me. Yes,this installation did have its own set of challenges but we were determined toand were able to achieve a proper build. If you are in the market, I have donethe research, put in the sweat equity, and will save you at least 30K off of acomparable build. Just to let you know, I love this jeep and reluctant to partwith it. However, I have recently taken a job that requires significant travelwhich is the reason for this sale.

Federal investigations about safety of rear-mounted gas tanks is nothing new
Sun, 09 Jun 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Chrysler are currently making waves in our daily news feeds due to a disagreement over the safety of a few million Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokee models. Specifically, NHTSA has asked Chrysler to recall the SUVs because of the location of their fuel tanks, but you may be interested to know that requests such as this are nothing new.
Besides the two Jeep models, NHTSA has launched investigations over the years in such models as the Ford Crown Victoria (and its police-car counterpart), GM pickups built between 1972 and 1987, and rather famously the Ford Pinto.
Understanding how automakers and NHTSA have dealt with fuel-tank-safety concerns in the past may offer a better understanding of how Chrysler and the government agency will settle their current dispute. Check out the complete article from The Detroit News here.
Airbag fault on 1M recalled Jeeps getting second look from NHTSA [UPDATE]
Mon, 02 Jun 2014UPDATE: Here is the statement we received from Chrysler regarding NHTSA's query: "Chrysler Group LLC advised the National Highway Traffic Administration of the six reports and, in accordance with the Company's long-standing practice, is cooperating fully with the resulting investigation. Customer safety is paramount at Chrysler Group. Customers who are concerned may call 1-800-853-1403."
It appears that Jeep's repairs for nearly one million Grand Cherokees from 2002-2004 and Liberty models from 2002-2003 might not be over yet. The vehicles were first recalled in November 2012 because the front airbags could suddenly deploy without being in an accident. Now, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a recall query into them because of reports of inadvertent activation on some already corrected vehicles.
The original problem affected over 919,000 vehicles worldwide, including 744,822 in the US, and was caused by a degrading circuit in the wires that control the airbags. In some cases the airbag warning light would come on just before the premature activation, but in other cases it would just happen. The automaker installed an "in-line jumper harness with an integrated electrical filter" meant to eliminate the power spikes believed to be the cause.
2014 Jeep Cherokee flaunts its new contemporary curves
Wed, 27 Mar 2013
Only slightly more than one month ago, undisguised (and less-than-flattering) shots of the all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee were leaked online. Later that day, in an effort to suppress the uprising, Jeep countered with its own official photography offering us much clearer front and three-quarter views. We've been left to digest those pictures for weeks.
Now, mere hours before the fabric comes sliding off its newest mid-size sport-utility at its live reveal at the New York Auto Show, Jeep has released dozens of new images showing all four corners, plus a few interior shots, of its new Cherokee.
