Don't know where to start. This is a 1988 Jeep Wrangler totally restored with a Chevy 350 4 bolt main motor four and a half years ago. This Jeep has been rebuilt from the frame up and only has 493 miles on it in 4 and a half years. The only thing that was not taken off was the steering box. This Jeep has NEVER been off road since being rebuilt. The motor was built by myself at a local performance shop. Everything but the 350 4 bolt main block is new. The wire harness is a brand new Painless harness. Runs awesome. Little cold blooded at first but comes right out of it in a minute or two. Here we go, the majority of the parts and advice were provided by 4 Wheel Drive Hardware.The 5 speed transmission and transfer case came from a late model 6 cylinder Jeep from California with 23,000 miles on them and have all new linkages and levers as well as mounts. The motor again is a 350 Chevy 4 bolt main, aluminum intake, Demon 4 barrel carb, serpentine single belt system with new alternator, water pump and power steering pump with new motor mounts. Hedman coated headers and stainless valve covers with K&N air cleaner and breathers. Dual stainless steel exhaust front to back custom installed. New flywheel, clutch and pressure plate. Adjustable fuel regulator with gauge, braided fuel line and throttle cable. Oversized aluminum dual core radiator with an electric fan and billet aluminum coolant recovery tank. The front differential is stock with chrome moly axels. The rear differential is a Ford 8.8 with a Super 88 Axle Kit with a Detroit set of gears and c-clip eliminator system. The drive shafts are heavy duty professionally custom made shafts made from Spicer parts. Gel Cell Optima battery. All brand new brake components, stainless brake lines, calipers, rotors, pads, backing plates, e-brake cables, power booster and master cylinder. All new tie rod ends, tie rods and new pitman arm. YJ 4.5 Extreme-Duty Offroad Kit with heavy duty leaf springs, shackles, pearches, u-bolts and Rubicon Monotube Shocks. Detachable sway bar and new body mounts. Dick Cepek tires, Radial F-C 2, LT305/170R16 with Dick Cepek Wheels. Warn Rockcrawler bumpers with winch mount and grill protector (not shown) and stainless D-Rings. Sure Step side bars. New steering shaft, bearings and GT steering wheel. All new door, tailgate and windshield hinges. New mirrors and mounts with Safari Doors. Tub underbody professionally undercoated in black and the tub interior is undercoated with the same tint as the jeep exterior color. New lights all around, LED rear lights, new markers and high intensity headlights. New Pioneer stereo with AM/FM and CD with new speakers using factory installation, looks stock. All gauges are Auto Meter Pro- Comp Ultra-Lite white gauges. The oil pressure gage just now is acting up, when turning on the key switch the gages all go through their automatic cycle but then the oil pressure gage pins itself without the motor running. This is new since taking it out of storage. I can assure you the oil pressure is good and suspect the sending unit or gage is defective. The Jeep has Mastercraft interior bucket front seats with 4 point seat belts and lap belts for rear bench seat. New seat risers as well. After market center console. Over $35,000.00 in Receipts not counting time. I also failed to mention the Jeep has a Rugged Ridge Mega Short Slip Yoke Eliminator Kit and a new Centerforce clutch. The following link has a brief video of it running a few days ago and a good view of the whole Jeep. If clicking on it does not work try copying it and pasting it to your tool bar. If you still have problems please feel free to contact me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMXTA3N13bs&feature=youtu.be Thanks for your interest, please feel free to contact me for anymore information or pictures. Thanks, John 1-207-590-5622

2014 Jeep Cherokee facing production delay
Fri, 17 May 2013Jeep's bold-faced new direction spearheaded by the 2014 Cherokee is facing some teething issues. According to a report by the Detroit Free Press, production start-up of the controversial new utility vehicle at its Toledo North facility is running about a month behind schedule "due to a wide range of issues." That's according to Mark Chernoby, senior vice president of engineering at Chrysler.
Chernoby maintains that the issues being encountered aren't unusual for the launch of a new vehicle - particularly one with a new powertrain - and he downplayed the delay, telling Jeep dealers that they "will have ample inventory of the midsize SUV by fall." Among the kinks being worked out? Calibrating the Cherokee's cutting-edge ZF nine-speed automatic transmission and refining assembly line tasks to make the process more efficient.
Chrysler expects to start building retail-ready versions of the Cherokee around mid-June, with official sales slated to start in September.
2014 Jeep Cherokee musters 22 MPG city, 31 highway
Thu, 05 Sep 2013Production and media drive delays included, there has been no lack of press surrounding the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. With the most recent delay reportedly due to powertrain calibrations, we've been waiting to see how the Cherokee's fuel economy looks against the highly competitive compact CUV segment. Thanks to the EPA, we now know the fuel economy figures for the newest member of the Jeep family.
Arguably, the Cherokee has the most modern powertrain in its class with an updated base engine, all-new V6 and all-new nine-speed automatic transmission, but its fuel economy figures are simply on par for the segment. Still nothing to scoff at, though. According to fueleconomy.gov, front-wheel-drive Cherokee models with the base four-cylinder mill will top out the lineup with 22 miles per gallon in the city and 31 mpg on the highway; opting for four-wheel drive with this engine drops the figures to 21 city and 28 highway. Get even crazier with the option list, and the new 3.2-liter Pentastar V6 will get you 19 mpg city and 28 mpg highway in two-wheel-drive form or 19 city and 27 highway for 4WD.
If you're wondering how that stacks up among compact CUVs, head on over to Automobile Magazine for a full fuel economy breakdown for the segment. The controversially styled crossover hits dealers this month, and we'll be driving it in just a couple of weeks.
