 Hello,

I have 3 years labor, and over $11,000 in verified cash receipts in this jeep.  I only put about 5000 miles on this since the complete build. Be the first to take it in the mud!!  I have too much time and money in this jeep to get it muddy.  I took it to the dunes once and it did great. Here are the specs:

 

Short Fender style tub with later model frame/ dash & windshield frame. (The good Electric wipers, defrost, etc)

 

Engine:

350 ci. Fresh rebuild

New Oil pump, timing set, rings, bearings, water pump, ps pump, alternator, etc.

Comp Cams 292 grind cam. .501 lift, 292 duration

Custom built headers

3hp mini-starter

Aluminum radiator/ electric fan. (runs cool)

Victor Jr. aluminum intake w/ 1” spacer

Summit 750cfm Holley copy carb w/ elec. Choke.

Starts easy even when cold.

Has very wicked idle, sounds mean.

(Have all receipts and machine shop itemization)

 

 

Heads:

Aluminum L98 Corvette heads Built at Speed shop in Tigard.

58cc chamber, flat top pistons, runs great on premium pump gas

Z28 springs, retainers, guide plates, vitan seals, Ported, flow tested. Huge runners

Stainless valves, 1.94/1.50

Chromoly pushrods, high-energy poly lock rocker nuts

Roller rockers

$900 invested

(Have all receipts)

 

Transmission:

GM Hydramatic TH-400

Bullet-proof Built by Shop in Roseburg

Upgraded high energy frictions

4L80E Direct Drum

NewSpiral lock rings, 34 element sprag, instead of weaker 16 element.

Transgo shift kit. (The good one that is also the “reprogramming kit”)

Small stall converter, I think it is a 1700 if I remember correctly, just enough to keep it from tugging hard at idle at the stop lights.

(Have all receipts)

 

Drive train etc:

Dana model 20 transfer case. New seals

Scout II Dana 44 front and rear

Disc brake front

New lift springs/ bushings

New Front brakes, calipers, etc.

New Ball joints

Crossover Power steering with all new larger than stock tie rods/ ends.

Drop pitman arm

We gave this 4 degrees of positive caster when setting up the front end, so it drives amazingly well. Better than a lot of stock- height jeeps I have owned.

Steering gear box is a Gm Saginaw box, Frame fish-plated for strength.

All driveshaft u-joints are  new

Rear driveshaft is a double- carden style that is setup correctly(no vibrations)

Dropped engine/ trans down approx. 4” and tilted tailshaft down to correct driveshaft angle. Gives jeep a really nice low center of gravity.

This is not a jeep that will “eat” u-joints once a year. It is setup right.

The rear end has been moved back approx. 2”

Dual gas tanks..10 gal under front seat, 14 gal under rear seat.

Switchable fuel guage .

Full roll cage w/ padding near head area.

Bed-lined inside of tub

New seats./ full seat belts front and rear

Heater works great, and yes it has defrost (no need to carry a towel)

8000lb Warn Winch. Looks and works like new.

Bestop top/ doors in great shape. Windows clear, very few scratches.

New Cragar Black wheels.

New 38x15.50-15 Nitto Mud Grappler tires with less than 500 miles. Still have “nipples” on tread.

Exhaust all new with flowmaster style stainless mufflers.

B&M floor shift

New motor mounts, fuel lines, etc.

Tilt Column

Tachometer

Speedometer, signals/indicators, wipers, heater blower, lights, KC lights, horn, etc all work great.

All white face manual gauges are new.

 

Body is not perfect, but not bad by any means. Floor pans look like they have been replaced and are in perfect shape. Paint is not perfect, but looks good.  Front fenders are fiberglass, everything else is steel. I have included pics of all blemishes on body. The only dent in the body is on hood where it appears someone threw the hood open hard at some point and creased it against windshield frame. 

This jeep is huge and puts all others to shame in this area. Everybody looks when this monster comes rumbling down the road.  Approx 12” of lift, but drives good. Even at 75mph on the freeway.

I can deliver this to an auto shipper in any town within 2 hours from here if you buy this. I know there is one in Medford and probably one in Eugene. Call me with other questions, 541-580-1975. Thanks and happy bidding.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky

Fri, 24 Aug 2012

It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.

2014 Jeep Cherokee: June 2014

Wed, 09 Jul 2014

I got a text message from Editor-In-Chief Sharon Carty one afternoon proclaiming that her new favorite SUV is our long-term 2014 Jeep Cherokee. And she's not alone. I'm not sure if anyone else on staff would go so far as to use the "favorite" descriptor, but after just over a month of honeymooning with our new long-termer, it's safe to say that the Jeep is quickly finding its way into the good graces of a number of Autoblog staffers.
There's good reason for all that praise, too. Thus far, the Jeep has proven itself to be incredibly competent and comfortable for daily life - it's functional, quiet, and packed with a host of amenities that make it easy to live with. It's been wholly trouble-free (with less than 4,000 miles on the clock as of this writing, it ought to be), but even nitpicks have been few and far between.

2014 Jeep Cherokee flaunts its new contemporary curves

Wed, 27 Mar 2013


Only slightly more than one month ago, undisguised (and less-than-flattering) shots of the all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee were leaked online. Later that day, in an effort to suppress the uprising, Jeep countered with its own official photography offering us much clearer front and three-quarter views. We've been left to digest those pictures for weeks.
Now, mere hours before the fabric comes sliding off its newest mid-size sport-utility at its live reveal at the New York Auto Show, Jeep has released dozens of new images showing all four corners, plus a few interior shots, of its new Cherokee.
