Up for sale is a highly modified, professionally built 2 Door XJ Cherokee. I am listing and selling this Jeep for a friend of a fallen comrade in our wheeling group. 

Specs: 1998 Jeep XJ Cherokee 2 Door Sport
Mileage: 154,xxx
Engine/Trans: 4.0L Six Cylinder & Automatic Transmission

This Jeep has it all. A fully built, professionally equipped rig that is extremely capable and offered at a fraction of what it would cost to replicate.

Mechanical: Grade 8/10
Starting with the drivetrain. The Jeep retains its original 4.0L Six Cylinder engine and trans. These motors carry a great reputation throughout the Jeep community as being "bulletproof" and have more than enough torque and power to turn the 35" tires. Engine runs and drives strong with plenty of life left. 
- D30 front axle with D44 Rear Axle 
- Disc brakes all the way around 
- 4.56 Gears 
- ARB Air lockers front and rear. (currently the ARB compressor is out of the truck, and it will need a new compressor or air source for the lockers). The locker lines and lockers are in great condition and work...they'll just need a new air source. winning bidder will get the non-working ARB compressor.
- NP231 Transfer Case w/SYE Kit
- Front & Rear CV driveshafts
- RuffStuff HD Differential Covers

Suspension: Grade 9/10
This thing rocks! It has a 6.5" Rough Country Long Arm Suspension Kit with adjustable front control arms, HD skid plate, 1.75" coil spacers in the front and taller blocks with 6" Rear springs net the Jeep a total of roughly 8" of lift. 3-Link front setup with upgraded steering stabilizer, track bar, etc. You will not find a more flexible XJ!

Exterior/Tires/Wheels: Grade 6/10
This XJ Jeep has been wheeled pretty heavily. The truck does have some fairly decent scratches, dents and dings. The person buying this Jeep understands that they are paying for the thousands of dollars in suspension, mechanical and functional upgrades that this jeep possesses.

- Bushwacker Pocket Flares
- ARB Snorkel
- JCR Offroad Winch Bumper
- JCR Offroad Tire Carrier
- JCR Offroad Gas Tank Skid Plate
- Rough Country 9500 Electric Winch
- JCR Offroad Rock Sliders

- 35x12.50R17LT BFGoodrich KM2 Mud Terrain Tires x 5
- 17" Steel Wheels x 5

Interior: Grade 4/10
Its a used 1998 Jeep. And its been offroad. Interior is fair with most things functional. Interior door handle is broken, seat is worn, etc. 


Overall, this Jeep is a great option for an enthusiast who wants a capable rig to hang with the $25,000 rigs. There has been well over $10,000 just in parts added to this Jeep. That doesn't include the labor, time or original purchase price of the Jeep. Once again, this Jeep won't win a trophy at your local "show n' shine," but there aren't many XJ cherokees that will go where this one will for the reserve set on this auction

If you have any questions, feel free to call me at 612.275.8011 for details or info. Please bid with confidence and please ask if you have any questions or concerns

As always, I reserve the right to end the auction as it is listed locally as well.

Thanks
Calvin

Jeep Wrangler Mojo and Cherokee Dakar teased ahead of Moab Easter Safari

Wed, 02 Apr 2014

Jeep has an annual tradition of debuting wild, new concepts during its Easter Jeep Safari, and this year looks to be no different. The automaker has already confirmed two of the six vehicles for 2014 - the Cherokee Dakar (pictured above) and Wrangler Mojo. This year's event runs in Moab, Utah, from April 12-20.
There are no official details about either of the concepts yet - Jeep will release more info on the new models next week. Judging by the pictures, though, the Cherokee Dakar appears to be lifted with some knobby off-road tires. The Wrangler Mojo looks to have a bulging hood that might hide a more powerful engine underneath.
Past vehicles at the Easter Jeep Safari have included a Hemi V8-powered Wrangler, a classically inspired pickup and modernized Jeep Forward Control. Since this is the brand's chance to express itself every year, hopefully it has some more sensational concepts up its sleeve. Scroll down to read the little information that has been revealed about this year's models so far.

Updated 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee ace same controversial moose test it failed in 2012 [w/video]

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

Some 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.

Four Wheeler crowns Ultimate Factory 4x4... who wins?

Thu, 15 Nov 2012

Nearly every automaker doing business in the SUV or pickup truck segments offers a package designed to improve the off-road capabilities of its wares. But, of course, not all such factory kits are created equal. How, then, to separate the wheat from the chaff? Gather each of them up and put them through their paces, naturally.
The folks from Four Wheeler and PickupTrucks.com joined forces to run just such a comparison test, with the winner named the Ultimate Factory 4x4. A total of seven vehicles showed up to the fight: the 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, 2012 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X and Xterra PRO-4X, 2012 Ram Power Wagon, and 2012 Toyota 4Runner Trail and Tacoma TRD T|X Baja Series.
With the contestants in place, the whole crew put each vehicle through a battery of tests that included skidpad and acceleration measurements, a hillclimb, a rocky stairstep course and a rock garden. Considering the nature of the beasts, on-road ride and comfort were not part of the routine.
