Jeep Cherokee Xj Race Rig Rock Crawler Off Road Vehicle on 2040-cars
Charlotte, North Carolina, United States
|
This is a one of kind Jeep Cherokee. This Jeep was custom built Marsfab Off road (marsfab.com) in Harrisburg Nc. The jeep was built to compete in the E.C.O.R.S. (ecors.com) race series. No expense was spared building this rig. Its a top competitor.
Drivetrain: engine is a jeep 4.0 with several mods done. The intake manifold and throttle body were custom ported by Newcomer Racing (newcomerracing.com). Its got 4 hole ford fuel injectors. The air intake was ran through the firewall to the interior. Its got a remote mounted oil filter that runs through a large oil cooler. Engine has custom mount plates and motor mounts by Brown Dog Industries (browndogindustries.com). Engine has a stainless steel header that exits through custom built exhaust. Transmission is an AW4 that is pretty much stock except having the line pressures raised slightly. The transmission is cooled by a remote mounted cooler with its own electric fan. All transmission lines have been rerouted to keep from being smashed by suspension components (common on cherokees used for off road racing). Axles: Front axle is a dana 30. The houseing has been heavily trussed with 3/8ths plate to keep from bending and breaking. The inner c's have been gusseted also. The steering is made up of 7/8ths heim joints and 1.5 inch .25 wall dom tubing. All of the steering mounting points are mounted double sheer. The rear axle is a ford 8.8 with disc brakes. Suspension: The front suspension is a custom marsfab offroad long arm set up with Barnes4wd Enduro joints. The front also has Fox 2.0 remote reservoir shocks and fox 2.0 4" travel air bump stops. To round out the front suspension there is also custom torsional sway bar. In the rear the jeeps got leaf springs mounted with Liquid Iron Industries slider boxes in place of the factory shackles. The rear also has Fox 2.0 remote reservoir shocks. All the shocks have been custom valved and tuned by Carolina Truggies. Chassis: This jeep has a one off custom roll cage. The cage ties into the unibody front to rear to really stiffen the body of the jeep. The cage also passes through the firewall and attaches to shock and bump mount area to stiffen the front end up. There are custom built chassis stiffeners on the bottom side of the jeep also. The interior has been completely stripped from the jeep. Now the inside contains Hunsaker Racing suspension seats mounted into the cage. Its got Racequip 5 point harnesses. There is a custom built aluminum gauge pod. Its also got a Whelen siren inplace of the horn. Really helps when your trying to pass other competitors. Its got a quick release steering too. Misc: Jeeps got bladder style 32 gallon fuel cell. To meet the rules for most race series all fluids have been run to custom built catch cans. The jeeps got a 8000# winch mounted to custom prerunner style bumper. Its got hid off road lights up front. Tow points front and rear. Custom mounted spare tire and high lift jack. First aid kit and fire extinguishers. 33x12.50x15 general grabber red label tires. The list goes on and on. Im sure I am forgetting some things. All in all this is a great race rig or weekend warrior. You could not buy all the parts on it for the buy it now price let alone all the materials and labor in fab time. My loss is your gain. |

Australian Jeep marketing stunt goes awry [w/video]
Tue, 15 Jul 2014Jeep fans in Australia are none too happy with the off-road brand following a contest that saw ten new Cherokees sold for just $10,000 Australian (about $9,400), roughly a quarter of the vehicle's price Down Under.
The contest, called the "World's Most Remote Dealership," gave Aussies the chance to snag an ultra-affordable Cherokee Longitude (analogous to the US-spec Latitude trim), provided they could get to a secret dealership in the remote wilderness of western New South Wales, near the border with the state of South Australia.
In order to get the exact location of the dealership, though, potential customers needed to download an app, which would release a phone number 9:00 AM AEST on Thursday (7:00 PM EDT, Wednesday night). The first ten people who could call in and prove they could afford to finance $10,000 and get to the remote dealership, were given the location of the remote dealership.
2014 Jeep Cherokee configurator up and running
Fri, 09 Aug 2013Production delays aside, Jeep is steaming towards its September on-sale date for the 2014 Cherokee. The reborn midsizer's configurator has just gone live, meaning you can fiddle with different options, colors and trim levels to your heart's content.
The cheapest model available is the 4X2 Sport, which starts at a reasonable $22,995. On the high end, the Cherokee's builder allowed us to indulge our passion for ludicrously priced vehicles by outfitting the top-end Trailhawk, which already starts at $29,495, with $8,610 in options. The resulting car, which you can see above, would retail for $39,100 after the $995 destination is factored in.
Head on over to Jeep's build-it-yourself website and have a look around.
Auto critic calls out Corvette, Mustang and Cherokee faithful
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Most automotive purists fear change, but not without reason. Change, after all, did kill big-block V8s, along with most station wagons and manual transmissions. But change has also brought with it far more performance, safety and fuel economy - not to mention ridding the world of shag carpet interiors, bias-ply tires and those horrible motorized seatbelts of the early '90s.
By this time next year, the Chevy Corvette, Jeep Cherokee and next-generation Ford Mustang will all be on sale and will all, in some way, have angered or offended purists. To those critics, Mark Phelan of the Detroit Free Press is preemptively telling them to stop complaining - at least until they've all been driven. From the Corvette's square taillights and the Cherokee's radical nose to whatever pony car purists will harp on the 2015 Mustang for, Phelan's column points out the positives of automotive evolution and the negatives of staying the course for too long. That's fair enough, but do you think Phelan is on point, or all wet? Head on over to the Detroit Free Press to read his words, then have your say in Comments.
