1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.7l ***lifted*** Must See! on 2040-cars
Cottage Grove, Minnesota, United States
|
Welcome and thank you for checking out this awesome Jeep. Sadly, I am selling this Jeep... I must do this because my family is growing and we are in the need for something more practical. I truly hate to see it go since I built it myself, but it must be done.
Long story short, I used to work at Iron Rock Offroad in Shakopee, MN a couple years back and while I worked there I built this Jeep. The jeep is a 1999 Grand Cherokee Laredo with the 4.7l v8, with 147000 miles. It has a 6.5" IRO long arm premium lift kit. I switched out the transfer case for a 242HD select-trec, giving the driver the ability to put it in 2wd and all time 4wd. I also replace the fabric seats with heated leather seats, which is great in the cold weather. The gas tank has also been lifted by removing the spare tire well, this giving the Jeep more clearance in the rear. Both front and rear axles have been built to beat anything. I guarantee they will never bend. I made custom trusses for both and enforced the front axle internally. Go to http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f197/lifted-zjs-wjs-picture-thread-536929/index154.html To see photos of the build. (NOTE: The build was just over two years ago and everything in the photos were brand new at that time).
It does have the ABS and brake light on. After having it checked I found that it needs a new ABS module. I never had it fixed Due to the fact that it doesn't affect the Jeep’s performance.
Build includes: 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.7l v8 with automatic transmission 242HD Select-trec transfer case Built D30 front end - 4.88 gears – open Dana 30 Inner Axle Sleeve Kit Dana 30 C Gusset Kit Front Control Arm Strength Kit Stainless Steel Braided Front Brake Hoses Front Driveshaft Conversion Kit Built D44a rear end - 4.88 gears – open Rear Heavy Duty Sway Bar Dual (Auxiliary) Steering Stabilizer Kit (no death wobble) Factory and aftermarket skid plates (After marked – not installed Gas tank lift (See photos attached in link above) 3" Iron Exhaust Cat Back System 17" Mickey Thompson classic II wheels (with a 5th spare) 35" BFG MTs custom cut treads (70+% tread life left) (with a 5th spare) Custom cut front bumper So much more… over $9,000 in parts alone.

Consumer Reports digs Mazda3, disses Jeep Cherokee
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has just rendered its verdict on two of the more important cars to launch this year - the Mazda3 and the Jeep Cherokee. Considering the value a "Recommended" rating carries with the public and the viciously competitive markets these two cars compete in, Consumer Reports' view could have some impact on their initial success.
For Mazda, that's a good thing. CR spoke quite highly of the Zoom-Zoom brand's compact sedan and hatch, testing both models, and citing the excellent fuel economy and snickety-snack manual shifter as high points. Downsides to the 3 included a ride that is agile but "nervous," a bit too much noise and a cramped back seat. Still, the 3 was good enough to earn its place in the ranks of the "Recommended."
The Jeep didn't fare quite so well, with CR calling the polarizing CUV "half-baked." Although both engines were tested, the magazine called the 2.4-liter four-pot underpowered and its nine-speed automatic unrefined and unresponsive. That's particularly damning, considering the 9AT's role in future Chrysler products, including the extremely important 200. Overall, the Cherokee missed out on the coveted "Recommended" rating.
Fiesta-sized Jeep coming in 2014
Wed, 03 Jul 2013We'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.
Watch this Jeep Willys return to its birthplace after 70 years
Sun, 23 Jun 2013Earlier 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.
