Stillman Valley, Illinois, United States

This auction is for a 1986 CJ7.  Vehicle was stripped down to frame.  Frame was sanded, cleaned, and painted with UV resistant restoration chassis paint.  The original CJ body had some rust issues indicative of it's age- I hate rust and I hate repairing rust which I why I opted for fiber.  The tub in my opinion is best on the market.  It came with steel reinforcement plates embedded in the firewall located at all critical points and floor board mounting and seats point are also embedded and double reinforced with wood.  Wiring was all professionally done and is also top notch with self grounded circuits so each circuit does not have to be run back to a single grounding bar.  Dash knobs and idiot lights all work and are new.  Everything has new oils and lubes.  I don't know how many miles are on the motor or if and when it was rebuilt, it runs good & doesn't smoke.  I listed this as a renegade under item specifics because ebay made me choose something.  I don't know what trim this vehicle was originally.  If you don't see something that you would like addressed please ask me anything you want- you may call me or text on my cell 815-761-7217.  I am CST time and usually head to bed by 9 so try to call before that. I have a 3 minute video of me walking around the jeep with it running, but am having issues getting it up on youtube.  I will bring my camera to work tomorrow and try from there and somehow get the link on here.

Watch this 650-hp Hennessey Jeep Grand Cherokee go from 0-60 in 3.9 seconds

Tue, 14 May 2013

Hennessey Performance Engineering has created an HPE650 package for the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT fitted with the 6.4-liter Hemi engine. When it leaves the showroom floor it has 470 horsepower and gets from 0-60 miles per hour in 4.8 seconds. When it leaves Hennessey's garage floor after the upgrade it has 650 horsepower - 530 hp at the wheels, according to Hennessey - and gets to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds on its way to running the quarter-mile in 12.6 seconds.
There's more than just a Roots-type supercharger bolt-on, with ported cylinder heads and high-flow headers among the many changes made to the engine. You can watch this pre-2014 facelift silver model prove its spec sheet on the drag strip in the video below.

Watch this Jeep Willys return to its birthplace after 70 years

Sun, 23 Jun 2013

Earlier this month, a very significant Jeep was celebrated at the Toledo North Assembly plant. No, it wasn't the upcoming reincarnation of the Jeep Cherokee, but instead it was a 1943 Willys MB that visited the Toledo grounds where it had been built exactly 70 years ago to the day.
Of course, the actual building where the MBs rolled off the assembly line before heading to Europe for World War II no longer exists, but that didn't stop Italian owner Vittorio Argento from having the vehicle shipped to the US to make its trek back to its birth place. According to Chrysler, Argento's MB is still 95-percent original and it drove 1,000 miles from New Jersey to Toledo.
The whole adventure was chronicled on a blog aptly named A Jeep Comes Home. Scroll down for a brief video from Chrysler and for some photos of the Toledo visit and be sure to read more at Argento's blog.

Chrysler recalls 468,700 Jeep Grand Cherokees, Commanders over rollaway risk

Mon, 13 May 2013

Chrysler has issued a recall covering a combined 469,000 units of the 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the 2006-2010 Jeep Commander (inset). Of that number, 295,000 are in the US, roughly 33,000 in Canada and Mexico and the remainder in other markets. It seems an electrical fault in the transfer case can allow the affected SUVs to shift into neutral on their own, while an Associated Press report says that Chrysler had "found cracks in a circuit board that turns the four-wheel-drive system on and off." The issue was discovered when an owner started his car remotely and it rolled away.
Chrysler is expected to begin notifying owners in June 2013, who can then take their cars to dealers. The dealer will reflash the final drive controller free of charge. There's a bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below with more information.
