1988 Jeep that turns heads- you will not beleive it is a 88!! Jeep was completely rebuilt just over 3 years ago.-
First the outside- top was replaced and a new acrylic black paint job that looks amazing. New outer cage top was installed and push bar on the front. Chrome grill insert and spot lights were put on and a new smitty built rear bumper. A new set of 33 pro comps and procomp rims were installed ($1800.00) and a 3 inch body lift and 2.5 inch spring lift was added. Sits up very nicely and rides great. Motor, transmission and new gears in rear were rebuilt or replaced. Jeep has the 2.5l motor which is not a speed demon- but with the new 456 gears in the drivetrain allow it to run in the 90's on the highway (even with the big tires). TV is installed in the dash along with 2 10 inch subs behind the backseat and 2 crunch amps pushing them- along with 2 6X9's and sound bar above your head-- in other words..... THIS THING ROCKS!! seats are in fair condition and inside has been rhino lined. This Jeep has no rust in it what so ever. (one of the reason I chose to rebuild this one). Speedo works sometimes and sometimes acts up- (bad cable) but it does not effect the way it runs, so total miles may be off. Just never got around to replacing the cable. --overall however a very sporty and nice driver.. would make a student a very nice ride.
Now for the mud guys.. this Jeep was never built to be taken mudding or rocking (hence the gear change). I built it as a driver and to take on the beach. The front axel has been removed from the tranny in an effort to make it go faster- 4 wheel drive works but I was more concerned with highway speed. If you are buying it for rocking or mudding you will need to replace the gears back to a lower gear.
Now for the fun part- I cannot- will not hold it or take payments or trades on it. If you have zero feedback please contact me before bidding or I will cancel the bid. Cannot ship or arrange shipping overseas and it is for sale locally so auction may end at anytime. This really is a nice Jeep, and I hate to sell it- but it sits in the garage far more often than with me behind the wheel.
Good luck and happy bidding.

NHTSA boss Strickland weighs in on Jeep recall fracas
Sat, 15 Jun 2013Adding yet another chapter to the ongoing Jeep recall story, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) head David Strickland has gone on record to defend the government's request that Chrysler recall 2.7 million out-of-production Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Liberty vehicles after the agency investigated fiery rear-end collisions that have reportedly killed at least 51 people over the years. In statements made to The Detroit News, Strickland said, "We felt very strongly that the process that we undertook and the findings that we made and ... we made the decision to issue a recall request. We do not take that very lightly." The top US auto safety regulator stopped short of telling owners to park their cars until the automaker takes action. "They can make their own risk assessment and their own choices," he said.
Chrysler does not intend to recall the models, insisting the "vehicles met and exceeded all applicable requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, including FMVSS 301, pertaining to fuel-system integrity" when they were manufactured and sold. "The company does not agree with NHTSA's conclusions and does not intend to recall the vehicles cited in the investigation. The subject vehicles are safe and are not defective," Chrysler announced last week in a statement. "We believe NHTSA's initial conclusions are based on an incomplete analysis of the underlying data, and we are committed to continue working with the agency to resolve this disagreement."
Legally, Chrysler has until June 18 to formally respond to NHTSA's request. If the automaker does not take action, NHTSA is expected to issue a formal finding and seek a recall.
Four Wheeler crowns Ultimate Factory 4x4... who wins?
Thu, 15 Nov 2012Nearly 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.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles: The next five years
Tue, 06 May 2014Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 24 hours, you've no doubt read about all of the big future product news coming out of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles today. We had individual brand reports from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Maserati and even Ferrari, but in the interest of simplifying and summarizing, we're going to list out the hard facts once more. Of course, with all of this still off in the future, there's still the possibility that a few changes will be made. But as of what we know right now, here's what's coming, and what's going away.
