built jeep cherokee $8,000 obo


 i've owned it for the last 7 years and its been great to me  as both a daily driver and weekend warrior. oil was changed every 3000 miles since around 50k when i bought it, 142xxx now, i'm only the 2nd owner. i hate to get rid of it but i'm way to tight on cash for the way life's hitting me and i can no longer afford to own two jeeps. mechanically she runs great, low miles for a 4.0l, practically every sensor has been replaced over the years. about a year ago the fuel pump/sending unit was replaced.  also about 6-9 months ago the cylinder head was replaced. 2000-2001 were notorious for cracking cylinder heads, it was replaced with a new "tully" casting head for a 2003 wrangler which is much heavier duty/desirable. work was done by a licensed mechanic. the jeep was recently tuned up with OEM spark plugs and a replaced ignition rail.


this jeep is very well built, its almost finished with the second stage of the build. it had a small lift and 33" back when i started planing for the build its at right now.

the stock axles have been replaced, the front: with a high pinion dana 30, its got a TnT fab. truss,TEN Factory chromoly shafts, eaton ECTED limited slip/ full time selectable locker, rock crusher differential cover,4:88 gear ratio and heavy duty over the knuckle steering. the rear: is an original xj dana 44, its been converted to disc brakes, has .5" u-bolt eliminators for spring perches, a detroit tru-track limited slip (very aggressive limited slip but much more "street-able" than a full case locker) it also has a rock crusher differential cover, and 4:88 gears. both axles were built with no brackets hanging below the axle tubes for ultra-high clearance. buying and building these axles (after paying for welding and gear/locker installation) cost me well over 6 grand alone, and they've only seen about 3,000 miles of daily driving and 1 off road trip where they performed awesome.

 

the suspension is a hybrid 5"-5.5" lift, the front has about an inch of lift built into the truss and 4.5" rubicon express coils, there are blown rubicon express mono tube shocks installed right now but i have brand new bilstein 5100 shocks that will be included in the purchase, it also has a Clayton's off road heavy duty 3 link long arm with rebuildable Johnny-joints, the rear is 4.5" rubicon express leaf springs and 1" JKS lift shackles, bilstein B6 shocks, there are also crown 6"+ extended break lines


the rear quarters/tail lights have JCR quarter armor and LED tail lights, the rear bumper/tire carrier is RigidCo and the front bumper is an ORFab that was cut down into a "stubby" bumper to allow clearence for the 35" tires


the tires/ wheels are 35x12.50 BFGoodrich Km2's mounted on 15"x8" black steel wheels they have had one off road trip on my other jeep (some small rock rash on the wheels from this one trip)and only driven on the road to get to the trail that once, these are practically still brand new, still have some of the little nub's from production left on them, these tires and wheels were over 2 grand when i bought them a little over a year ago


this jeep isn't perfect, it was used off road, carpets have been removed and replaced with bed liner, there are dents and scratches and some minor things that could use fixing, front end pulls right a little but it is in need of a front end alignment


right now the jeep is unregistered so test driving on  the road isn't much of an option except up and down my street


i have well over $25,000 "invested" in this jeep, obviously i never expect to get this back, i never planed on selling it, but i think for all the work done and parts put into it it is well worth the price im asking

Key-swapping thieves steal Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT from FL dealer

Sat, 09 Nov 2013

Just a few weeks back, we reported on the theft of an Audi RS5 by a pair of creative thieves who managed to swipe the car's keys when the salesperson stepped away from their desk. Now, a Florida dealership is missing a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 after some crooks switched the Jeep's keys with an identical, non-functioning set.
According to the report from local NBC affiliate WPTV, the men went in and spoke to a dealer about the Jeep. They walked outside, took a look at it, started it up and in the process managed to switch out the fobs. After doing their time with the salesperson, the thieves walked back out to the car, got in and drove away.
"I mean obviously, the way it was done, I think that they were professionals and they knew what they were doing," said Arrigo Jeep General Manager Joe Tufo. "The fact that they did it in broad daylight and switched the key fob and it was like it was nothing. That's what makes it unique," he added.

Another crazy custom Jeep Wrangler spotted in Morocco

Sun, 03 Mar 2013

What in the world is the vehicle you see above? Well, um... yeah. We have no idea. According to the video description from YouTube, however, it's a modified Jeep Wrangler, and it comes from the same person who created the equally insane side-by-side merged Wrangler you saw here.
We can clearly make out the Wrangler-shaped passenger compartment up top, but as for the other bits and pieces that make up this rather amazing machine, your guess is as good as ours. At the very least, it seems to us that the car's wheelbase has been given a significant stretch, and the grille may have come from an International LoneStar Harley-Davidson Special Edition semi truck.
What other components are sourced from the massive International hauler? No idea. We suggest you check out the video below and draw your own conclusions. Oh, and if you've got any other ideas, feel free to let us know in the Comments.

Marchionne: Midsize pickup still not in the cards; Ram 1500, Jeep Wrangler could use aluminum

Wed, 07 May 2014

During the Fiat-Chrysler briefings on Tuesday, Reid Bigland, head of Ram Trucks, outlined the new product plans for his brand, including confirmation that an all-new light-duty Ram 1500 will launch in 2017. From there, discussions spun off in two directions, with the main questions being: will Ram build a midsize pickup? And, following Ford's move to extensively use aluminum in its new 2015 F-150, will Chrysler be using this weight-saving material for the next round of its fullsize truck, as well?
"I think there is room for a Ram 1000," Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne (pictured above) told members of the media, saying this is a conversation the automaker has been having internally for several years now. "We've tried this ... we've actually taken it to clinics," Marchionne stated, adding that the "response has been lukewarm."
"I have better use of aluminum in this house than a pickup truck." - Sergio Marchionne
