Supercharged Jeep Comanche on 2040-cars
Olympia, Washington, United States
|
1989 JEEP COMANCHE with 2000 Jeep Cherokee swap and Sprintex supercharger. I have spent the last 8-years and over $20k in parts not including labor and purchase price of the Jeep to build what you currently see. Everything is swapped correctly (no hack and splice). Full Cherokee harness swapped and OBD2 fully functional as well as airbags and other power options (AC, cruise control, power mirrors, gauges, etc). Started with a clean rust free 1989 Comanche pioneer and tore it down to just a cab and frame. Then swapped everything from a 2000 donor Cherokee. The 2000 Cherokee motor is a coil on plug version and had 41,453 miles on it when I did the swap. Because the donor Cherokee cluster had idiot lights instead of gauges I had to purchase a junkyard cluster with gauges that started at 117,800 miles. The cluster now shows 145,949 (and rising as I daily drive this). So actual millage on the engine and transmission are about 70k miles. The current suspension and axles were swapped in about 2 years ago and the super charger kit was installed in February of this year. Everything functions as designed and runs as reliable as a stock 2000 Cherokee. SEE BELOW FOR DETAILS ON THE BUILD.

BUT FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN WHEELING IT, IT COULD USE A FINISHED REAR BUMPER (THE CURRENT STEEL IN BACK IS A STARTING POINT BUT NOT FINISHED) IT COULD ALSO USE SOME ROCK SLIDERS FOR PROTECTION OF THE ROCKERS. THE SUPERCHARGER IS RUNNING ON MY BASE TUNE (RUNS GREAT) BUT COULD PROBABLY SEE AN INCREASE IN MPG AND POWER IF DYNO TUNED (CURRENTLY GET 11.5 TO 13.2 MPG DEPENDING ON DRIVE STYLE) ALSO HAD TO SWAP TO A FIRST GEN CHEROKEE POWER STEERING RESERVOIR (RES ONLY NOT PUMP) TO CLEAR THE SUPERCHARGER. THE RES SEEPS A BIT (HAD PLANS TO GO PSC HYDRO ASSIST STEERING BUT NEVER GOT AROUND TO IT) OR A RESERVOIR FROM A 99-04 GRAND CHEROKEE COULD WORK. THAT'S ABOUT IT. DRIVES DOWN THE FREEWAY GREAT. NO BUMP STEER OR DEATH WOBBLE. I HAVE HAD IT UP TO 95 MPH BUT THE RPM'S GET A LITTLE HIGH AT THAT POINT. YES I HAVE WHEELED IT, BUT NOT ABUSED. OVERBUILT IT FOR MY LEVEL OF WHEELING. |

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.
Jeep Renegade pricing to start at $18,595?
Fri, 14 Mar 2014While there's no shortage of excitement surrounding the new Jeep Renegade, one of the limiting factors to the little trucklet will be its price. With the Kia Soul starting at $14,900 and the Nissan Juke kicking off at $18,990, the Renegade can't afford to stray away from that price bracket.
And judging by some potentially leaked pricing info, it won't. A quick Google search of "Jeep Renegade Price" reveals (at least for now) that the Italian-built Jeep will start at $18,595. The "as shown" price of $25,895 seems to indicate the Trailhawk model shown on Jeep's consumer page.
If the $18,595 figure is correct, it's likely for the base, two-wheel-drive Sport model, with the Latitude and Limited trims falling somewhere between there and the $25,895 as-equipped price of the Trailhawk.
Jeep Wrangler Polar Edition coming to America
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Jeep originally took the wraps off its Polar Edition Wrangler at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, and at the time, we figured this would be a Europe-only affair. (Perfectly fine, since we US customers haven't exactly been lacking special edition Wrangler models over the years.) But now, and as Jeep says, just in time for winter, the automaker has announced that the ice cold Wrangler will be hitting North American showrooms in November.
Based on the Wrangler Sahara model, the Polar Edition can be had in either two- or four-door body styles, with a unique Hydro Blue paint job as the featured color. (Buyers can also opt for less-special Billet Silver and Bright White hues.) Other exterior enhancements include a body-colored hardtop, 18-inch gloss black wheels, the Powerdome (power bulge) hood, and unique decals all around the body.
But the Polar Edition isn't just about some paint and stickers. Jeep has fitted this Wrangler with a Dana 30 front axle and Dan 44 rear axle, as well as the Trac-Lok anti-spin electronic rear differential. Like all US-spec Wranglers, the Polar Edition uses Jeep's 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, producing 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. Both a six-speed manual and five-speed automatic transmission are available.
