Below I tried to add my you tube links, but I cant seem to get them working.  I hope you can cut and past it is worth to hear her run!!!



I bought this Jeep in 2011 just after it had a frame off restoration.  The work was great and done by the owner's brother.  However, he built her a no power no nonsense, 25" tired every day commuter.  When I got it, I drove it for a year while I put together the cash to re-do what had been done.  Below is a list of what work I have done to the Jeep to make it more of a Jeep than a yuppie day cruiser.

Pulled the inline 6 cyl and put in a Chevy 350 with about 310hp
Replaced all steering components.
Switched all brakes to slotted and drilled disk with chevy s10 calipers
New 8" brake booster and larger than spec master cylinder 
Redesigned interior of the cab.  Changed dash to custom with custom dials. 
Put in a new transfer case and sticks, added a new sound system, custom roll bars.  And a false rear floor for door storage.
New 35" tires
New rear and front with all new gears.
New paint job, less than a year ago.
The engine has been shined up and tricked out at a heavy cost.
New springs and shocks
New aluminum radiator and shroud
New custom welded front bumper with 10,000lb winch
Matching back bumpers
Custom security system


I know I am forgetting some things so I will wrap it up like this.  4 years he did a frame off on the jeep and put 2,800 miles on it.  1 and a half years ago I started my build.
Six months later I was done and now for the past almost two years, it has been my every day driver.  I have put 10890 miles on it in that time.  I have changed all fluids and rotated tires every 1000 miles.  I detail (including the undercarriage) at least once a month.

I have a set of soft doors, a set of half steel and half soft doors.  I have a whole shelf of extra parts that come with the purchase, like a starter extra can lights, and other misc. parts.  There is also a brand new, never used soft top.

If you are funded and interested, please feel free to call me or come by to see her.  I live south of Nashville and my phone number is 615-879-5872

Watch this 650-hp Hennessey Jeep Grand Cherokee go from 0-60 in 3.9 seconds

Tue, 14 May 2013

Hennessey Performance Engineering has created an HPE650 package for the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT fitted with the 6.4-liter Hemi engine. When it leaves the showroom floor it has 470 horsepower and gets from 0-60 miles per hour in 4.8 seconds. When it leaves Hennessey's garage floor after the upgrade it has 650 horsepower - 530 hp at the wheels, according to Hennessey - and gets to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds on its way to running the quarter-mile in 12.6 seconds.
There's more than just a Roots-type supercharger bolt-on, with ported cylinder heads and high-flow headers among the many changes made to the engine. You can watch this pre-2014 facelift silver model prove its spec sheet on the drag strip in the video below.

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.

Chrysler accelerates Jeep recall repairs from 2018 to March

Thu, 17 Jul 2014



You may remember that Jeep's unusual fix for this recall involves fitting a trailer hitch.
The recall of about 1.5 million models of the 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty and 1993-1998 Grand Cherokee over fuel tanks may finish far sooner than originally estimated. In a new filing from Jeep's parent, Chrysler Group, with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the company says that it can complete the repairs for the affected vehicles by March 2015, much sooner than the previous estimate of sometime in 2018. Jeep predicts the total cost of the campaign will be around $151 million.
