2007 Srt-8 Jeep Grand Cherokee- Powerful, Fast, Many Upgrades!!!!! on 2040-cars
Elmsford, New York, United States
|
I am the original owner of this vehicle. It was my daily driver and toy for 5 years until last year. There are many performance upgrades including Corsa exhaust (deep rumble without drone- THE best exhaust for these vehicles), B. Woody Cold Air Intake, B. Woody Lowering Springs, B.Woody Sway Bar End Links and a custom tune which is included with the Diablosport Preditor. (You are free to select any tune you wish (including the stock factory tune) at any time.) The tires have been upgraded to the massive Vredstiens which are the best tire I have ever had on this vehicle. The rears are 305 and the fronts are 275. I would estimate that the tires have about 65-70% life left on them.
The vehicle has 73K miles but I have just installed a new engine from a totaled 2007 SRT-8 Charger with 26k miles. I blew the engine while instructing students at Pocono Raceway late in 2012. The car is mechanically sound and blistering fast. In addition to the approximately 450HP the engine produces the huge Brembo Brakes with custom Carbotech Pads can pull this 5000lbs vehicle to a stop startingly fast. With the upgraded suspension it handles well enough for a race track. (The car has seen approximately 7-8 track days). In 2010 this vehicle was featured in the Robin Hood Rally, a reality show which featured high performance street and race cars competing on closed public roads to raise money for charity. While production isn't complete and I am bound by confidentiality agreements, I can tell you that were more 40 drivers of cars such as Porsches, Corvettes and Ferarris who were shocked at being beat by a Jeep! (But then again this ISN'T your average Jeep). In keeping with the theme of the Robin Hood Rally I will be donating a portion of the sales of this vehicle to CancerCare through eBay's Giving Works. This vehicle represents the perfect balance of daily driver and toy. Given the fact that it has been used and enjoyed as a vehicle like this should, the exterior paint shows the typical signs of tiny rock chips, dings and imperfection (mostly on the front end and rocker panels). The paint is still shiny and deep (just buffed and waxed) and the car looks perfect from 10 feet away. The wheels as well have some minor curb rash and discoloration from brake dust as the custom brake pads made by Carbotech for the Robin Hood Rally are very harsh. I will include both the Carbotech track pads plus a brand new set of Hawk HPS Plus street pads (which are more than adequate for daily driving). I believe I have some additional EBC Yellow pads which I will include as well. The interior is in excellent condition and was just shampooed. I will include a fresh set of front mats. The rear mats are perfect as the back seat was hardly used. I am selling the vehicle with no reserve and my opening bid is VERY reasonable (just check out others here). In general, this is an extremely FUN, extremely fast and mechanically sound vehicle that should give you many years of fun and turn many heads as its powerful, deep rumble commands attention. I reserve the right to end the auction early as the vehicle will be listed locally and on several of the forums. You can inspect the vehicle at my home in North White Plains, NY. Please contact me via eBay's "Ask the Seller a Question" feature. |

Happy 50th birthday, Jeep Wagoneer
Thu, 02 May 2013
The Wagoneer got the SUV on the radar of buyers looking for something capable, comfortable and rugged.
The Jeep Wagoneer was introduced 50 years ago, and it's that vehicle we have to thank for the herds of excellent crossovers and SUVs that make up our current automotive landscape. On a personal level, I have always loved the full-size Jeeps and their crisp Brooks Stevens styling, which aged well over their long tenure on the market. The SJs, as they're known among enthusiasts, were the Wagoneer and its two-door counterpart, the original Cherokee. The Wagoneers had become true luxury vehicles by the end of their run, which stretched form late 1962 as a '63 model all the way to 1991, when they were offered exclusively under the Grand Wagoneer nameplate.
Chrysler resolves recall issue with NHTSA, will inspect, upgrade affected Jeeps
Tue, 18 Jun 2013Chrysler made big news earlier in the month by refusing a recall request from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for the 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty. Last week, NHTSA boss David Strickland countered by defending his agency's request for the recall of 2.7 million Jeep SUVs. Today marked the deadline for Chrysler to formally respond to NHTSA, and it seems that both parties have met in the middle with Chrysler inspecting and upgrading some of the affected vehicles without using the word "recall," which would constitute the admission of a defect; instead, Chrysler said that it is conducting a "voluntary campaign."
At issue on these vehicles is the positioning of the fuel tank behind the rear axle that could get damaged during a rear-end collision. NHTSA has stated that at least 51 people have been killed in rear-end collisions involving these Jeeps after the vehicles caught fire, to which Chrysler countered by pointing out that both models "met and exceeded" the requirements for fuel-system integrity.
As a compromise on the situation, Chrysler says that it will inspect all pre-2004 Grand Cherokees and pre-2007 Liberty models and, "if necessary, provide an upgrade to the rear structure of the vehicle." According to Automotive News, this upgrade will consist of adding a trailer hitch that will presumably better protect the rear-mounted gas tank. Vehicles already equipped with a factory or Mopar hitch will not be modified. Chrysler's official statement on the matter is posted below, but no additional information has been released, such as when the campaign will begin and how many vehicles could be affected.
25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango SUVs recalled over brake feel
Mon, 10 Mar 2014Chrysler has announced that it is recalling over 25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from several markets over concerns about brake feel under hard braking. The affected models are from the 2012 and 2013 model years, although the actual dates of production aren't available. 18,700 are in the US, while 825 are in Canada, 530 are in Mexico and a further 5,200 outside of North America.
According to a statement, Chrysler was informed of the issue by a component supplier for the Ready Alert Braking system, which primes the brakes in anticipation of an emergency stop. A component in the system was restricting the flow of brake fluid too much.
As Chrysler is quick to point out, the way the brakes functioned was in compliance with regulations and there are no reported cases of drivers losing braking power. Instead, the issue rests with what Chrysler calls a pedal feel that "was not consistent with customer expectations." So it would seem Chrysler is being proactive and fixing a problem not because there's a legal issue at work, but simply because it doesn't feel the way the manufacturer wants it to. Well done.
