1988 Jeep Cherokee XJ 2 door. I have owned this rig for 11 years now and have decided to part ways with it. I have two young kids and don't have the time to play with it or finish it. Just put in a custom built 4.6l short arm Hesco stroker (www.hesco.us) with more than 4k invested into it. Lots of detail put into the looks and function of the engine and drivetrain. Engine runs really strong and tight. No leaks, perfect compression. It was professionally built and assembled by Mopars Engine's West aka Dave's Engine machining in Newark Ca. Look them up. It currently sits on a Rusty's 6.5" custom built long-arm kit up front with a steering conversion kit with the stock Dana 30. Front axle is strong and rebuilt. New kingpins, new steering ball joints, recently new brakes and pads, fresh fluids. Rear axle is a stock Dana 35c with a fresh set of 4:88 Yukon gears carrier, bearings, seals, and gears. Transfer case was just rebuilt with a new chain and pump along with an advanced adapters SYE and new Tom Woods shaft. It’s got a few dings/dents here and there typical of its age and getting door dings in parking lots. Roof has pealing, but the body is untouched and has not been cut up. Interior has SCAT racing bucket seats and several Auto meter gauges added including a wide band system for the motor. ZERO rust. Lots of time and money spent keeping the underside painted and clean looking. Never off road. Hell of a good rig for someone to quickly wrap up and hit the Rubicon with or just have fun going to work in. Lots of other stuff done that I know I forgot to mention. Lots of receipts to prove it. Currently registered nonoperational (Needs to be smogged or Green Tagged here). Runs and drives awesome. Extremely fun. More power than the little jeeps needs. All smog equipment  (Bolt in Catalytic Converter, Charcoal gCanister, I.E,) is included. If I had the time and money I would do it myself. Call or contact for details. Can deliver to Sacramento CA area if the price is right, other than that, the Jeep is as is and buyer is responsible for pick up/delivery. Can take more photos for serious buyers.

 

Here is an old album from about 3 years ago that contains photos of the Jeep and engine build. White Jeep in album is already sold.

Radical 2016 Jeep Wrangler suggested by job listings?

Fri, 31 May 2013

With most inside the industry expecting the next-generation Jeep Wrangler to arrive for the 2016 model year, it makes sense that the automaker would be looking for some choice candidates to to fill program openings as the off-roader goes through its development. A recent ad on Chryslercareers.com suggests to some that the lightweight Wrangler Stitch Concept, revealed just two months ago and shown above, provides some clues about the off-road icon's next iteration.
According to Automotive News, the job descriptions - which don't name the model specifically - hint that the next-generation Wrangler will benefit from a serious diet. The ads appear to seek those familiar with advanced high-strength steels, hinting that lightweight aluminum body panels may appear on the 4x4. In addition, there are suggestions that Jeep may fit the Wrangler replacement with air suspension, as seen on the Ram and Grand Cherokee, to retain ample off-road clearance yet lower that chassis to improve aerodynamics at highway speeds. The job postings reportedly also lend credence to the idea of a diesel Wrangler.
It seems every bit of the next-generation Wrangler is up for review, as it will be the first time this iconic model is redesigned under Fiat ownership. Questions remain whether or not the Jeep will retain its clip-down hood, easy-to-remove door pins and folding front windshield - loyalists expect them, but fuel economy and safety standards may crimp their cases for survival.

Watch this R/C Jeep Wrangler plow snow

Mon, 06 Jan 2014

There's no denying the fact that the Jeep Wrangler is one tough and rugged vehicle, and there is apparently little lost when the SUV is shrunk down for a 1:10th scale radio-controlled version. Proving that the Axial SCX10 Jeep Wrangler is not your run-of-the-mill R/C car, YouTube user Andrew Dykiel posted a pair of videos showing it clear about an inch of snow from his sidewalk and driveway during a snow storm last month.
Starting at $379.99, the Axial SCX10 costs more than most budget snowblowers, but other than paying a neighbor kid to shovel your snow, this might be the best way for a car guy to clear snow without the need for hot chocolate and ibuprofen. Better yet, it's electric, so it's zero-emission answer to snow removal! Scroll down to see how this R/C Jeep can help "shovel" snow from the warmth of your sofa. We've also thrown in a bonus video showing the mini Jeep negotiating the Rubicon Trail.

Chrysler recalls 350k vehicles over ignition switches

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

Chrysler has announced a recall covering 349,442 vehicles due to ignition switches that can either become stuck or move without warning. All of the affected vehicles are from the 2008 model year, and were built before May 12, 2008.
The automaker has learned that ignition keys on some vehicles "may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position during engine-startup," the company said in a statement. Additionally, "an ignition key may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position and may inadvertently move through the 'ON' position to 'ACCESSORY' or 'OFF.'"
Chrysler says it is unaware of any related injuries, and notes that while reduced braking, engine or steering power is possible in such instances, the airbags are not affected. The later stands in contrast to General Motors' recent rash of high-profile recalls, and it's an important distinction that Chrysler (understandably) felt necessary to call out in bold print in its press release.
