This is among the most incredible jeeps you will find. There is absoultey nothing that needs to be done with this. It has the custom paint, frame, fabrication and the motor and drivetrain to back up its bada$$ looks. This jeep has a 327 built chromed out motor that is equipped with a racing cam, Edlebrock 650 or 750 carb, and heddman headers. This motor when changing fluids is only fueled with the best with 93 octane fuel, additives, and the best parts our store can get(Spark plugs, ect.). We recently payed a professional to polish the jeep from the bottom up as to show the buyer the true potential in its physical(not photographic) state. My father is the owner of this jeep and is one of those people that when he builds something and is done he gets in a mood to start on something else. This jeep has to be seen to be believed how insanely clean and pristine it truly is. The picture commits no justice to what happens when it truly meets the eye. 

It has a three inch rancho lift and runs on 33/12.50/15 thorn birds. The tires ride on what i believe is an older type of american racing wheel but like the rest of the jeep both are in near perfect condition. This is among the best sounding gas vehicles i have ever heard. The exhaust is loud when you want to hit the big Rpms but still quiet enough to hear when you are cruising down the road as fast as you feel comfortable. No speed is unobtainable with this monster. This is so clean you could comfortably eat off any part of this thing. 

The interior consists of new black matching leather with new carpet and weather tech floor mats. IT has a b&m shifter to handle handle the custom tranny below it to what i believe to be around 400 horse to the rear wheels, but for you power power guys it is prob around 500 motor. 

One another note. This has not been out in the rain. It is either in the garage, out on a sunny day, or in our storage unit underneath the cover. This jeep has got more followers and stares than any other jeep we have owned. We do not do shows, we build things the way we want and then start on something new. I would like to see someone take as clean of care of this as we did while easily winning whatever show they choose to partake in. Please let me know if there is anything you need. I have paperwork on all parts. And there are receipts for over 35k in this jeep. Call/ text 2178219929 or 2178214380. Our names are Kolby and/or Brad and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have. P.S. We still have some very minor "bolt together" things we have to do yet but the jeep will be in perfect* condition when buyer makes purchase. Which is also for sale locally. We are in Central Illinois so if you would like to come take a look or a test drive please let us know by calling the previous numbers given. 

Thanks
Kolby and Brad

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles recalls nearly 750k vehicles in two campaigns

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is recalling a total of 747,817 vehicles in the US in two separate campaigns recently added to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration database.
The first one covers about 434,581 units of the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Challenger, Durango, and Jeep Grand Cherokee from the 2011-2014 model years with electric hydraulic power steering, the 3.6-liter V6 engine and a 160 amp alternator, according to FCA. In the affected vehicles, it's possible for the alternator to fail without warning and possibly cause the car to stall. According to the documentation submitted to NHTSA, the automaker began investigating the problem in August 2014 and has found possible evidence of one crash caused by the failures but no known injuries.
Customers will begin receiving notification about the recall next month, and obviously the repairs will be done at no cost to them.

NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey

Wed, 09 Jan 2013

The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.

2014 Jeep Patriot and Compass ditch CVT for six-speed auto

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

It was reported in Automotive News a few months ago, but a new report on Allpar.com adds some details to news that the 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot will get a six-speed automatic to replace the CVTs they currently use. According to a tip provided to Allpar, the 2014 models will begin production in March and be on sale sometime in the summer. The Jatco-sourced CVT in use until now - Jatco is owned by Nissan and Mitsubishi - has been often criticized, and many won't be sad to see it go.
The incoming six-speed automatic is said to be an all-wheel-drive cog-swapper that's the work of Hyundai and Magna and has been paired with the DynaMax AWD system used in the Hyundai ix35 and Kia Sportage. It won't be the only Chrysler product using a transmission with ties to Hyundai: the six-speed automatic in the Dodge Dart comes from Powertech, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hyundai. With the Patriot and Compass said to be driving down the trail for the last time this year, it will be a short run for the new tranny and the rumored addition of a backup camera and power rear liftgate on the Compass.
