Custom Built Comp Cut 2003 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon on 2040-cars
Somerset, Kentucky, United States
|
Description: This Jeep is a clean, low mileage, vehicle that was modified to be very capable on the trail but still remain comfortable on the street. It is a custom comp cut jeep. An alignment was just performed when the tires/wheels were added about 500 miles ago. This is very smooth driving jeep. No vibrations or pulls that most lifted and modified vehicles have. It drives very smooth at 70 mph on the highway. At the same time this Jeep can get after it on the trail, so if you're looking for a vehicle that's good for either application this may be a good fit. It has been stretched in the rear with a triangulated 4 link setup that's mounted to a trussed D44 (specs itemized below). The body, body armor, and tube fenders have all been cleaned up to fix some dents, dings, and scrapes from 4-wheeling at some point in the past. Take a look at the pictures for little blemishes. The front and rear differentials were recently serviced. The rear drive shaft CV joint was refurbished by a local drive shaft shop after one of the techs noticed some play. I've done my best to list out the modifications below but I know I have not captured them all. As you can see there has been a lot of time and money put into this Jeep build. It is for sale locally so I may take down the ad at any time. I have an after market fifth wheel bumper and tire carrier that I will include in the auction. Vehicle Specifications:

Chrysler recalls 468,700 Jeep Grand Cherokees, Commanders over rollaway risk
Mon, 13 May 2013Chrysler has issued a recall covering a combined 469,000 units of the 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the 2006-2010 Jeep Commander (inset). Of that number, 295,000 are in the US, roughly 33,000 in Canada and Mexico and the remainder in other markets. It seems an electrical fault in the transfer case can allow the affected SUVs to shift into neutral on their own, while an Associated Press report says that Chrysler had "found cracks in a circuit board that turns the four-wheel-drive system on and off." The issue was discovered when an owner started his car remotely and it rolled away.
Chrysler is expected to begin notifying owners in June 2013, who can then take their cars to dealers. The dealer will reflash the final drive controller free of charge. There's a bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below with more information.
Chrysler earns $1.7B in 2012, revises product plans for US
Wed, 30 Jan 2013Hot on the heels of Ford's earnings announcement for the year that was, Chrysler today reported a 2012 net income of $1.7 billion, up substantially from the comparatively minuscule $183 million profit earned in 2011 when it repaid its US government loans.
Chrysler's good year ended with an excellent fourth quarter that saw net income rise 68 percent from $225 million in 2011 to $378 million. Where are all those extra earnings coming from? Market share, which Chrysler saw increase to 11.4% last year on sales of 1.65 million vehicles. In fact, the Auburn Hills, MI-based automaker out-paced the industry's market growth of 13 percent last year with sales up 21 percent for the year.
The company also revealed an updated product plan for its Chrysler Group and Fiat brands that looks all the way out to 2016. It's an updated version of the plan introduced in 2009 shortly after Fiat took control of the American automaker, and includes such new additions as an Alfa Romeo model, likely the 4C, to be introduced in the US this year, as well five more Alfa models by 2016. Likewise, Fiat will be growing by an additional seven models in the coming few years.
2013 AEV Brute Double Cab
Fri, 11 Jan 2013These are the guys who bring an M777 howitzer to a knife fight. In terms of overall rugged utility, the all-new 2013 Brute Double Cab from American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) is about as overkill as they come, and we can't seem to get enough of the beasts that this company produces. Unlike most aftermarket firms, always striving to lower cost and increase volume (but at the expense of quality), Michigan-based AEV takes pride in its OEM-quality design, engineering, manufacturing and testing. Everything is as good, or better, than the stuff from the factory, and they have been doing it this way for more than 15 years.
Launched at the recent 2012 SEMA show was the 2013 AEV Brute Double Cab. Its debut marked the company's expansion to a four-door Brute on the newer JK platform (drawing inspiration from the Land Rover Defender 130). I recently spent a few hours with the new truck in sunny Southern California, though unfortunately, due to time constraints, I was limited to pavement-only driving impressions.
