Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States

I have owned this Jeep for about 15 years now. I do not really want to sell it but my lifestyle has changed and I need to move on to something more practical. First off while the Jeep is not 100% rust free, but it has very little rust, and it is only on the rear of the tub near the lower corners of the tailgate. I replaced the front fenders and windshield frame about 5 years ago and did paint the the original color but of course they do not match the tub as it has faded over the years. The original doors simply hung on the cowl and latched at the rear but were unsupported and rattled terribly, so I put doors off a YJ on it about the same time. The Jeep was originally a 304 v8, 3 speed. The engine started smoking and I decided it was time to rebuild the motor. Instead, I bought an AMC 401 to rebuild and install since it was an easy swap. It is bored .030 over, with forged pistons,and a balanced crankshaft. DUI HEI distributor and wires. We installed a be Cool high volume waterpump. It has an Edelbrock Victor Jr aluminum intake with and Edelbrock 4BBl Carb. Doug Thorley Headers, and dual Flow Master mufflers with tailpaipes to the rear. This combination has less than 5,000 miles on it. I then put in a new Centerforce clutch, and swapped in a T-18 transmission. The transmission has a granny low and is in stock configuration. I had a shop in town build a full width Dana 44 for the rear. It has drum brakes, an ARB locker and 4:56 gear ratio. It is hung on BDS 4" over lift springs with military wraps and greasable bushings. At the same time they narrowed a Dana 44 for the front. It has oversize disk brakes, an ARB locker and 4:56 gear ratio as well. It too is hung on BDS 4" over lift springs with military wraps and greasable bushings. They also moved all the steering componentry up over axle centerline for additional ground clearance. Also mounted the ARB compressor under the hood and switches under the dash. The interior has Best Top cloth bucket seats with headrests up front, along with a Best Top center console, and a Best Top fold and tumble rear seat. Factory guages with tach all work as they should. I put a Sony detachable face Stereo in the dash but have never wired it. I'd rather listen to the motor.... I mounted a family style rollbar in the Jeep, but have not updated the seat belts to the correct ones yet. The tires are 35x12.50x15 BFG Mud Terrains with about 3,000 miles on them. They are mounted on Centerline Convo HT Aluminum wheels. This tire/gear ratio combination makes the Jeep a blast to drive around town, and it easily goes down the highway at 60 or 65 miles an hour. It has factory power steering and power brakes although we did upgrade the master cylinder to a larger unit when we did the axles. Jeep also has factory hard top with factory bronze tinted windows, although they look gold to me. The reason I am selling it is that I have never had the Jeep four wheeling since we did all this work to it. I hate to admit it, but I just do not have the time to use it. Transportation is the buyers responsibility, but I will be happy to help load it for delivery after the vehicle is paid for. It sells only to the lower 48 states. Should you want more info about it please give me a call @ 719.440.4246 in the evenings, my name is Scott.

Jeep leads list of 25 most patriotic brands
Thu, 04 Jul 2013It's not unusual to feel extra patriotic this time of year, what with the Fourth of July being today and all. As if to celebrate, New York-based research firm Brand Keys conducted a study among 4,500 consumers about what brands they find to be the most patriotic. According to the Detroit Free Press, Jeep took top honors in this study, besting other American stalwart brands including Coca-Cola, Levi's and Hershey's.
Interestingly, the only other automotive brand to make the list was Ford, in the 16th spot (motorcycle fans take note - Harley-Davidson claimed the No. 13 slot). This means consumers found Jeep to be more patriotic than any of the brands in the General Motors portfolio, including Chevrolet, which has long used American themes in its advertising over the decades.
According to Brand Keys, Jeep came in "with a score of 98 out of 100 on a scale representing consumers' emotional engagement expectations," the Detroit Free Press reports. Be sure to read the report to scan the entire Top 25 list for yourself.
Jeep Cherokee joins Altitude trim line
Wed, 22 Jan 2014Jeep fans spoke up last year by naming the Altitude trim level, and the automaker rewarded them with an assortment of cool Jeeps sporting a sinister, blacked-out appearance. Joining the ranks of Jeep models offering an Altitude trim level is the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, and this might be the best looking of the new Cherokees - including the Trailhawk.
Like the previous versions of this model, the 2014 Cherokee Altitude adds black wheels and exterior trim and molding, and it's only offered in four colors: black, silver, white and granite (shown above). You definitely have to love the look of the black accents since the Altitude raises the Cherokee's price by $2,000 to a starting MSRP of $24,995 (not including destination). Jeep says that the 2014 Cherokee Altitude is a limited-edition model, but there is no mention of any specific production figures.
Joining the new Cherokee Altitude are the updated versions of the Grand Cherokee Altitude and Wrangler Altitude with similar limited color combinations and pricier MSRPs starting at $35,290 and $31,595, respectively. These three new Altitude models will go on sale this spring joining the Compass Altitude and Patriot Altitude, which are on sale now. Scroll down for more info on the updated 2014 Jeep Altitude lineup.
Chrysler axes old V6s, goes all-Pentastar
Tue, 03 Sep 2013Old technology has a way of lingering on, particularly at Chrysler headquarters in Auburn Hills. So while the Pentastar V6 has replaced the older engine architecture in just about every application, it still soldiered on in some export markets. But the introduction of a new 3.0-liter Pentastar V6, produced in Michigan and meant only for the Chinese market, has put the final nail in the old engine's coffin.
Fitted into the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Wrangler just introduced to China at the Chengdu Motor Show, the downsized six uses the same architecture as the larger 3.6-liter Pentastar V6. But because of its 2,997cc capacity, it can be exported to China without the increased duty the 3.6-liter or even 3.2-liter Pentastar engines would incur. The 3.0-liter V6 develops 230 horsepower at 6,350 rpm and 210 pound-feet at 4,400 rpm.
Admittedly, it's unlikely, but even though the engine was said to be created solely to undercut tax thresholds in China and Europe, the 3.0-liter Pentastar has recently surfaced in rumors of an application here: as the boosted heart of a potential Cherokee SRT with anywhere from 375 to 410 hp.
