 This is a Jeep Wrangler that My wife and I started to build and just don't have the time to finish.  There are over 5100.00 in costs for parts not including labor.  The Lime Green Sem Tintable bed liner is the durable finish to resist scratches in the mountains.  We installed Basher bumpers so hitting animals wouldn't cause major damage.  The top is a New Best Top soft top with soft doors with tinted windows.  There are new seats OEM Style and New OEM Style risers.  The back seat is new as well.  The Transmission is Automatic but the detent downshift actuator rod is missing and therefore it has to rpm shift.  This is hard on the engine and transmission.  There is a new odometer/speedometer installed but it needs an adapter to properly fit into the transmission in order to function.  The tires and wheels are new, they are Dick Cepeck Wheels with  31/1050 R15 Starfire All terrain tires.  We also installed a B&M Rachet shifter and New Stainless steel hardware on all outside hinges and windshield mounts.  We had a brand new exhaust system installed and New lenses for the rear lights.  We installed a new Transmission Cooler and a 3" Body Lift  as well as a new tub liner with road noise barrier insulation.  We were going all out on this jeep and it was going to be our toy, but plans change and time marches on.  I would recommend changing out the drive train to a GM or Ford setup for a couple very good reasons.  The first is fuel economy, this jeep only gets 12 to 14 mpg and the other reason is it would give better overall performance and more available parts.  This is a sharp looking jeep and you could drop your own drivetrain in and drive it to graduation.  We drove it some and it is a real attention getter, folks would often yell Nice Jeep!  Hopefully someone out there has a drive train to drop into this baby so it can be enjoyed.  Thank you for looking in on our Jeep for sale.  Dave and Shannon D&S Country Designs

Freak accident during Jeep demonstration turns fatal

Mon, 20 May 2013

A 20-year-old woman was killed in Edmonton, Canada on Satuday, reports CTV News, in a freak accident resulting from a rollover during a Jeep demonstration. As part of a fundraising enthusiast event called "Jeeps Go Topless," the driver of one Jeep Wrangler drove up and onto the top of the tire of another.
CTV reports that the owner of the topmost Jeep then switched the vehicle off, posed for pictures and then dismounted from his vehicle. His movement off of the Jeep apparently caused it to tip over, crushing a woman who was on top of an adjacent vehicle. Edmonton police are currently investigating more fully what caused the parking lot accident to occur. Scroll below to watch the CTV News video report about this tragic incident.

Chrysler taking big risk snubbing NHTSA

Maker Insists Feds Overstate Risk Of Fires With Grand Cherokee, Liberty Models
It's not often that recall stories make it above the fold, in that old newspaper parlance, but when one shows up as the lead story on the network evening news programs, you know it's something big.
And so it is with Chrysler snubbing its nose at a request by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to recall 2.7 million Jeeps the feds insist are at risk of potentially catastrophic fuel tank fires in a rear-end collision.

SEMA crowns Mustang, FR-S as this year's hottest cars in the building

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

After wrapping up the first day of the 2012 SEMA Show, organizers handed out awards for some of the trendiest vehicles on display. Since the whole point of SEMA is to show off new products available in the aftermarket world for use in cars, trucks and SUVs, each year, the show distinguishes the most popular vehicle in various segments. Not surprisingly, this year's Hottest Car and Hottest Sport Compact are the Ford Mustang and Scion FR-S, respectively, while the Ford F-Series brought home the Hottest Truck and the Jeep Wrangler was named the Hottest 4x4-SUV.
More than 2,000 companies are at this year's show, and the display booths represents a "vote" for each car to determing the trendiest vehicles in each of the four categories. It isn't clear if these awards also take cars brought by OEMs into account, but the Mustang and FR-S were definitely well represented by both OEM and aftermarket show versions.
As usual, the OEMs showed up in force at the this year's SEMA Show exhibiting a variety of cars ranging from production-intent cars like the beastly Ford Mustang Cobra Jet to much flashier rides like Scion's Carbon Stealth FR-S.
