Up for sale is my 1998 Jeep Cherokee with multiple upgrades. They include:

-Custom Black/Gray leather interior
-Swapped rear axle to handle power
-Beefed up 5 speed transmission
-PA System (not wired up)

-Eagle racing wheels
-Upgraded A/C system
-1.6mm Roller Rockers
-Headers
-MSD everything
-38lb Ford racing injectors
-More I know I'm forgetting

The Jeep has a new heater core and radiator. This is a CLEAN swap, nothing jerry rigged here. It was built by Keith Valone of Corvette Connections in Florida. When I registered the vehicle, I had them list a mileage discrepancy due to the fact that the Jeep itself has only 88000 miles on the body, but the drivetrain/motor has only 34000. Otherwise it is a clear title. 

After dealing with Craigslist's finest for a couple of weeks, I've decided to put this up here. This Jeep has roughly $16000 put into the conversions and customizations. I have receipt for all of this, plus for maintenance. I am selling due to some mechanical issues which I will detail. The engine is running rough, and the port from the LT1 wont accept my diagnostic tool. I'm getting good fuel pressure so I think it's a spark issue, but I'm not sure. The motor ran great since I purchased it, but is running rough right now. The motor has some leaks from a couple of gaskets, nothing bad, and the rear axle needs a new gasket on the gear housing.

Pardon some of the smudges, but that is all they are. 

As far as the Autocheck score, its due to the mileage discrepancy which I listed above.

For anyone who has wanted to do one of these conversions, all of the hard work has been done for you and then some. Not to mention it was done well. It would not take much to get this running well and have one very unique and fun Cherokee. 

I have 100% feedback so bid with confidence and thanks for looking, and please make sure to ask any questions before bidding!

Jeep Wrangler Dragon Edition coming to North America

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

If 2012 was the year of the dragon in China, perhaps the US can claim 2014. After showing the Jeep Wrangler Dragon Design Concept at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show, and apparently receiving "tremendously positive feedback" from Jeep enthusiasts across the globe, the automaker has decided to introduce a production version that will hit US showrooms this fall with a price of $36,095.
"The dragon symbolizes strength and power and is an aspirational character normally associated with royalty and good fortune," says Jeep, and that apparently equates to a blacked-out Wrangler Unlimited with bronze satin gloss highlights inside and out, along with big dragon decals that start on the hood and run down the fenders. There are 18-inch matte black wheels with a bronze outer edges, and a dragon-emblazoned spare tire cover completes the look.
We suggest you peruse the high-res image gallery above to see all the black and bronze detailing yourself, and make special note of the interior. In related news, all 2014 Jeep Wrangler models get an optional Trail Kit and clear park lamps to replace the previous amber units. New colors include Amp'd, Anvil, Copperhead, Flame Red, Granite Crystal and Hydro Blue (Freedom edition only), which join carryover colors Billet Silver, Bright White, Black and Dune.

Fiesta-sized Jeep coming in 2014

Wed, 03 Jul 2013

We've heard rumors before about a new, baby Jeep to slot below the new-for-2014 Cherokee (pictured) in the automaker's lineup. Now, Edmunds is reporting that the new crossover will arrive sometime in 2014, and will be about the same size as the Ford Fiesta. This currently unnamed vehicle will effectively replace both the Compass and Patriot in the Jeep lineup.
Speaking to Edmunds, Jeep CEO Mike Manley said that the new, small Jeep will be assembled in Italy and marketed globally beginning sometime next year. Manley did not provide many details on the new model, but did say that it will be 4.2-meters (165 inches) long. The Cherokee, by comparison, is 4.6-meters long (181 inches). Furthermore, Edmunds reports that while the new small Jeep will offer diesel power in other markets, there are no plans for an oil-burning version here in the US.
Many other automakers are exploring this smaller crossover segment here in the US. General Motors recently launched the Buick Encore, which is loosely based on the Chevrolet Sonic subcompact's platform. Ford has already launched its Fiesta-based EcoSport in other markets, and has reportedly been pondering the idea of offering it in the US, as well.
