This jeep was purchased in 2011 from Arizona w/ 60,000 original miles & original paint. (see picture in listing) It was brought to Texas then sold to a local gentleman who wanted to make it a nice daily driver.
Here`s where the fun began! He decided he wanted to do a frame on custom cosmetic restoration with nothing but black & white inside and out!(I have pics from start to finish)Everything on this jeep was removed except for the motor & transmission! The body was in excellent condition w/ only one minor rust spot on the rear quarter panel. The jeep was painted 2011 ford white. For easy cleaning the interior was lined then painted to match. After the paint work was complete it was put on the lift & every single part on the undercarriage was removed. The under body was then coated w/ under coating for future protection. Front and rear differentials were disassembled,blasted,primed and painted then reassembled w/ all new seals,bearings,axles & u-joints in axles. Front & rear driveshafts blasted , painted , and new u-joints,
All new brake rotors,calipers,pads,drums,wheel cylinder,hardware & steel braided brake lines. All new steering linkage and rod ends were also installed. A 2 1/2 inch skyjacker soft ride suspension was installed along w/ nitro shocks and new shackles. The jeep is riding on 31/10.50/15 goodyear MT/R w/ kevlar & MT classic 2 black aluminum wheels.
Now back to the rest of the jeep. After the paint was cut & buffed we installed a special ordered black scrambler stripe package,all new kentrol black stainless hinges,paddle handles & mirrors were installed. Every rubber on this jeep was replaced along w/ tailgate cables & latches,rear LED lights, new side marker and parking lights,fender flares,fuel filler trim ect. I built front & rear custom bumpers. Rear is a swing away style the front is just a basic bumper w/ hella lights and roller fair lead added. It also has a 3/8 plate winch mount w/ a warn 8000 series winch. Bumpers & winch plate have been powder coated along w\ a few other misc. parts on this jeep.
The interior has new best top high back seats,trailmax 2 fold/tumble rear seat,all new seat belts, console,door panels,door handles, window cranks,new cluster overlay,new cluster & gauges. IT HAS A VERY NICE SOUND SYSTEM ALSO.
I know this is long but just trying to give you an idea of the amount of money and labor that went into this jeep.
As far as the engine and transmission they are still pretty much original w/ all the emissions in place. They both have been serviced and are in very good operating condition. The engine had a complete tune up prior to starting all this work. There has been a little over 400 miles put on it since it was completed a year ago march. It is being sold because of the lack of use! I know i`ve forgotten a lot so if you have any questions please feel free to give me a call or shoot me an email.
325-456-2749 or terrydavis66@yahoo.com
I have well over 100 pictures of the entire project so if you want to see something particular just let me know.
Thanks for looking god bless and have a great day.

2015 Jeep Cherokee finds a bit more fuel mileage thanks to stop/start and aero tweaks
Mon, 06 Oct 2014Just a year after it burst onto the scene, Jeep has already made a pretty substantial addition to its V6-powered Cherokee, which has proven to be an extremely popular seller so far for the brand, adding a new stop-start system for the midsize, off-road-ready CUV.
The addition of stop-start included a few aerodynamic tweaks to the Cherokee's polarizing body, resulting in a wallet-pleasing increase in fuel economy. According to the EPA, the front-drive, V6-powered Jeep will now return 21 miles per gallon in the city and 29 mpg on the highway, up from 19 city and 28 highway. Four-wheel-drive, V6-powered Cherokees, meanwhile, will now return 20 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway, up from 19 mpg in the city and 27 mpg.
With 271 horsepower, 239 pound-feet of torque and these newly enhanced figures, it's refreshing to see a larger, naturally aspirated engine that is still able to take the fight to today's crop of small-displacement, turbocharged four-cylinders.
Fiat Chrysler target 850k sales in China by 2018
Sun, 11 May 2014Behind the vanguard of numerous Jeep models, two Chryslers, a smattering of Fiats and Alfa Romeos and local production through a joint venture with Guangzhou Automotive Group (GAG), Fiat Chrysler wants to increase sales in China more than six-fold by 2018. The group sold 130,000 cars in China in 2013, the aim for 2018 being 850,000 cars.
Ultimately it's expected that the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Cherokee, Wrangler, Renegade, the coming Grand Wagoneer and a sub-Renegade-sized crossover will either be built in or exported to the People's Republic. The Chrysler Town & Country and 300 will join the export list in 2016 and 2018 respectively, according to a report in Automotive News.
With a number of those vehicles not in production or perhaps even envisaged yet, and others not due on the local market until 2018, it will be interesting to see how Fiat Chrysler plans to achieve the target in the specified timeframe. The joint venture with GAG builds two products now, the Dodge Dart-based Fiat Viaggio launched two years ago - supposedly designed just for China - and the just-launched Fiat Ottimo, a hatchback version of the Viaggio. Fiat projected 300,000 Viagio sales in its first two years, that number has been adjusted downward to 94,000 and there doesn't appear to be an analyst alive that sees a good future for Fiat in China's overrun mainstream market. Still, last year's 130,000 group sales in China is a huge jump from 2012 sales of 66,000 units, but less than half the 300,000 units it projected.
100,000 Jeep Cherokee models subject to further 9-speed recalibration
Thu, 29 May 2014It seems that the software problems with the nine-speed automatic gearbox in the Jeep Cherokee continue to mount. The programming already caused multiple development delays and even postponed the Cherokee's market launch by roughly two months. Now, Jeep has issued another recalibration to hopefully assuage unhappy drivers.
According to Automotive News, this reflash for the allegedly jerky transmission covers over 100,000 Cherokees built before May 5, but it's not technically a recall. If owners are having problems and complain to the dealer, they get the new software. Otherwise, they continue with the current version. New vehicles on dealer lots also receive the latest revision to the programming. It takes only around five minutes to install, but technicians need to take the Cherokee on a test drive to adapt the gearbox to the changes.
The Cherokee's transmission software has been problematic practically since the beginning. The Jeep plant in Toledo, OH, briefly idled its second-shift workers last year to take care of the issue. Since the launch issues for the crossover, demand has been strong. Jeep added another 1,000 temporary workers to the Toledo factory to keep up, and sales were on par with the Wrangler in just its first two months.
