5/6/2013 Let's try this one more time. I received multiple inquiries after my most recent listing with offers well over where the bidding got to. If you want to buy the Jeep, bid on it. My reserve is $25K but if I have some decent participation I will consider lowering that number. I will not do a "buy it now". I will be happy to answer any questions about equipment or condition. Condition is easy though, it's new throughout. For those dealers who have inquired, maybe this is a $40 k vehicle off of your lot. It's a show-stopper. Email your questions and if necessary we can go to the phone. In the event of a no-sale, I will negotiate with you after the sale only if you participated. Good luck, bid well, bid often, there is nothing else like this available here. Disregard the "Base sport utility" and 4.2liter mentioned in the above description.
Originally commissioned by a local entrepreneur for use at his beachfront property in Mexico. Built by CW Performance in Longmont, Colo, Carl Wells (RIP) has built some very nice vehicles. I have receipts for over $100K spent, no nut or bolt has been left untouched. Only the highest quality pieces were selected for this build.
Engine started lifeas a 1999 Wrangler 4.0 liter. It was rebuilt and uses fuel injection, a Crane Cam, a larger throttle body and a very gorgeous Hesco aluminum head. A Borrani header takes care of the exhaust flow. It runs great. The clutch is a Centerforce, the trans a rebuilt Borg/Warner T5. Dual Optima batteries are held in a Wrangler Products battery tray. An aluminum radiator is cooled by twin electric fans, thermostatically controlled. Front and rear diffs are 4.56 ratio, the rear an AMC 20 (I believe) with locker, the front equipped with an Ox locker controlled from inside. Axles are either new or remanufactured as are the driveshafts. Both diffs feature attractive alloy covers. Brakes are new and equipped with stainless brake lines. Suspension is by Fab Tek and Rubicon. Rubicon express with 4.5" lift and Rubicon extreme duty shock kit. The wheels are Sertes (the invoice was a little unclear) model 397 and are shod with Goodyear Dura/trac 33/12.50/15 tires, 5 of them. A Skyjacker transfer case lowering kit is also fitted. The bumpers are both Warn brand with a rear tire carrier and front winch mount options. The Warn winch is a Powerplant Dual Force with air compressor built in. Winch controls are both wired and keyless remote. A very professional roll cage will keep you unruffled. All lighting is special, featuring Delta H4 conversions, Hella lights and KC spots. All running lights are LED and look very cool. Warn Rock Sliders protect the rocker panels. A high lift jack is securly mounted above the spare.
The frame has been powder coated, the body or tub has been Rhinolined on the underside as well as the interior. The Gold color professionally done of course. The hood, windshield, windshield frame are new. The instruments are either new or reman and work perfectly. A Kenwood radio/navigation/dvd is enhanced by an Alpine amp and Boss as well as DC Gold speakers. The Trailmaster seats are matching, front and rear. A pilot to co/pilot intercom system is included for when the going gets very exciting. Headsets with mic's are included. Tuffy brand center console protects the radio and a dash mounted Tuffy security glovebox protects other valuables.
The Besttop roof and windows as well as doors are only about 3 years old. The Jeep was finished in 2008 and has about 2800 miles. I use the term "new" a lot in describing items, in truth everything has been used for 2800 miles. Other new or reman items I forgot to mention: steering box, ball joints, tie rod ends, Q Snorkel, poly fuel tank, steering wheel, and much more.
I got the Jeep from the gentleman who commissioned the build. I would like to move it on to finance my road racing habits. If you ever wanted to put together an awesome Jeep, here it is. My name is Jack and I am certainly available to answer your questions. I have perfect feedback and want to keep it that way. Good luck and please bid.

Updated 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee ace same controversial moose test it failed in 2012 [w/video]
Thu, 02 Jan 2014Some background: one of the more scandalous international incidents of he-said/he-said from 2012 was when Swedish magazine Teknikens Varld put the Jeep Grand Cherokee through its "moose (or elk) test" and reported that the SUV nearly rolled over. That lead to a whole lot of accusations and rebuttals: more than one website and Chrysler's own blog reported that the Jeep was overloaded; Chrysler said Teknikens printed the magazine then let Chrysler respond, Teknikens answered all of the charges in a lengthy post and said Chrysler was given a chance to comment before it went to print; when Chrysler sent investigators to oversee the test and the Jeep didn't go up on two wheels as it did in the first test, furthermore all four wheels stayed on the ground when Auto Motor und Sport tested a Grand Cherokee in the same way.
Teknikens then re-ran the test with a new vehicle and said it's been doing this test since the 1970s, uses the loading information that Chrysler provides to the Swedish motor authority and the previous Grand Cherokee passed with no problem. In the second test, the Jeep failed again, then it gave Chrysler engineers access to the car's electronics and ran the test again. In that second round the Grand Cherokee didn't repeat the lurid two-wheel action, but in eleven runs it blew out front left tire seven times. Chrysler still objects to the results of all of those tests and maintains that vehicle was safe.
The 2014 Grand Cherokee was given its shot at the gauntlet in the latest round of moose tests, and Teknikens Varld reports that it passed without any problem at all, its stability control working perfectly, controlling motion at low speeds and all the way up to 44.1 miles per hour. You can watch the video of the new test and read the press release from the magazine on the updated Grand Cherokee below.
2014 Jeep Cherokee starting price set at $22,995*
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Love it or hate it, the 2014 Cherokee is on its way to a Jeep showroom near you this fall. Today, Chrysler announced the different trim levels, features and pricing for its new compact utility with a starting price of $22,995 (*not including $995 for destination), which is $400 less than the 2012 Liberty it ostensibly replaces.
Available in four trim levels - Sport, Latitude, Limited and Trailhawk - the new Cherokee will come standard with Chrysler's 2.4-liter Tigershark inline four-cylinder engine with the upper three levels offering the option of the company's 3.2-liter Pentastar V6. The base Sport is your typical entry-level model, featuring equipment including manual cloth seats and black exterior mirrors and door handles, but it also has a five-inch Uconnect media center, LED taillights and 10 standard airbags. Stepping up from the Sport model, Latitude and Limited trims bring increasing levels of luxury starting at $24,495 and $27,995, respectively. All three of these trims are front-wheel drive in standard configuration and offer varying versions of Jeep's Active Drive four-wheel-drive system.
The range-topping $29,495 Cherokee Trailhawk (shown above) comes standard with four-wheel drive and numerous upgrades to earn Jeep's Trail Rated fender badge. These changes include a unique design that adds an off-road suspension with taller ride height giving more aggressive approach and departure angles, underbody skid plates, distinguishing exterior design elements and a seven-inch, reconfigurable instrument gauge cluster similar to what it found in high-trim Dodge Dart models. Scroll down for a full breakdown of the 2014 Cherokee pricing and trim levels, and let us know what you think of the model's pricing and equipment in Comments.
Watch this R/C Jeep Wrangler plow snow
Mon, 06 Jan 2014There's no denying the fact that the Jeep Wrangler is one tough and rugged vehicle, and there is apparently little lost when the SUV is shrunk down for a 1:10th scale radio-controlled version. Proving that the Axial SCX10 Jeep Wrangler is not your run-of-the-mill R/C car, YouTube user Andrew Dykiel posted a pair of videos showing it clear about an inch of snow from his sidewalk and driveway during a snow storm last month.
Starting at $379.99, the Axial SCX10 costs more than most budget snowblowers, but other than paying a neighbor kid to shovel your snow, this might be the best way for a car guy to clear snow without the need for hot chocolate and ibuprofen. Better yet, it's electric, so it's zero-emission answer to snow removal! Scroll down to see how this R/C Jeep can help "shovel" snow from the warmth of your sofa. We've also thrown in a bonus video showing the mini Jeep negotiating the Rubicon Trail.
