This is a project vehicle built within the pages of Jp Magazine. Google Project Ground Up. *The Warn 8274-50 winch pictured on the cover and two Jp Magazine images is no longer on the vehicle. I can order you one if you have to have one. They cost me about $2,000 and I will add that to the price.* The Jeep is titled (with a clear title) in Arizona as a '56 CJ-5 but has the heart of a '98 Jeep Cherokee SE. The frame was built out of 2x4x3/16ths and 2x4x1/8th wall rectangular tube. The engine is a 2.5L multiport 4-cyl (from a '98 Cherokee)with an AX-5 manual transmission and NP231 transfercase with 4:1 TeraFlex Gears and a JB conversions Super Short SYE. Shifting of the T-case is handled by a Novak 231 shifter that offers easy positive shifting. The axles are a front high-pinion Dana 30 and a Chrysler Corporate 29-spline 8.25. Both are factory geared at 4.10 with stock Jeep axles. I also used the Cherokee master cylinder which has a booster to activate the front disc brakes and rear drums. The front axle currently has a Lock-Right locker (easy to remove) and the rear diff is open (although I have a Power lock for it). Suspension is based around custom Deaver springs based on YJ leafs with front shackle reversal and Fox shocks. It flexes well and rides pretty good at speed in washes and bumps (for a leaf sprung solid axle vehicle). The rollcage is built of 1 3/4 0.120 wall DOM. with 1-inch.095 wall tubing for the seat brackets. The A- and B- pillars of the rollcage are tied into the frame with the A-pillar tying into the rocker guards. The rocker guards are also built from 1 3/4 .120 wall DOM. The gas tank skid plate is made from 3/16ths plate steel and the center T-case skid is made from 3/16ths steel plate and 1 3/4 0.120 wall DOM. The seats, full soft doors, soft half doors, full soft top, and bikini top are all from Bestop. The full top has two places that need to be repaired. This could easily be handled by any number of upholstery shops. I also have a matching rear seat and seatbelts that can be installed (there is currently a Rubicon rack that is designed to hold an Engel fridge and secure the spare tire). The wiring/computer/fuse blocks of the Jeep is a paired down wiring harness from a '98 Jeep Cherokee. Radiator is a auto parts replacement radiator for a Jeep TJ wrangler (that came from the factory with this same engine/trans/T-case). Cooling is done by a Flex-a-light electric fan. The Jeep has a retro heater from Summit Racing. The exhaust is custom using stainless Magnaflow parts. The Jeep has power steering using the Saginaw box from the '98 Cherokee. The fuel tank is for an eary Jeep YJ. The tires are 33x10/50R15 BFGoodrich KM2 mud terrain tires on 15x7 Wheel Vintiques wheels. The air intake system is from AIRAID. The front driveshaft is from Tom Wood's Custom Drive Shafts. The 2.5L engine is from a '98 Cherokee as said. I just, last week, installed a new timing chain, water pump, thermostat, and thermostat housing and performed an oil change. The clutch feels good and the transmission shifts without grinding. Once the Jeep was completed (a year and a half ago) I drove it from Phoenix to the Rubicon trail, over the trail, and back with virtually no drama or problems. I got an estimated best of about 20 miles per gallon which is great for a Jeep. The Jeep was also at Easter Jeep Safari in Moab and all over Arizona. Its reliable and capable. Would be perfect to tow behind a motor home or keep at a cabin near some offroad trails. The odometer does not work, but reads 21086.2 right now. The title says 38,000. The frame has 5,000-7,000 miles on it. The engine.trans/T-case/axles have unknown mileage, but they can last to 300,000 miles and are easy to repair, upgrade and maintain. Its a Jeep. There are probably more details on the build, but this is what comes to mind right now. Please ask questions if you are a serious buyer. No warranty is implied, but I can give advice on repairs or upgrades for years to come. The only "bad" about this Jeep is it has been used, and I was a bit rushed getting the wiring harness into the body and someone with a little knowledge of automotive wiring could clean it up. I could maybe do this, but I am selling the Jeep because I dont have much time to play with it and I need to move on to other projects. The Jeep is missing two of the chrome dog dish hub caps. I'll order them and replace them. *The Warn 8274-50 winch pictured on the cover and two Jp Magazine images is no longer on the vehicle. I can order you one if you have to have one. They cost me about $2,000 and I will add that to the price.* I also reserve the right to cancel this auction any time if the Jeep sells locally. Thanks.

Jeep Wrangler Scrambler pickup spied in tough-looking off-road trim
Tue, Sep 4 2018More Jeep Wrangler Scrambler spy shots have surfaced. This time we're looking at a pair of Scramblers that are far closer to production. The shot of the interior through the window is the first time a Scrambler has been caught with the new Wrangler JL interior — not the JK. This one has the black seats with red trim combo currently offered on the JL Rubicon. In addition to that, one of the trucks was sporting some knobby Falken off-road tires sized at 285/70R17. This plus the interior means we're most likely looking at a Scrambler Rubicon. The other Scrambler has normal road tires fitted, indicating a Sport trim. Off-roaders can rejoice even more too. Rock rails on both trims are new additions to the prototype vehicles — not even the broken up Scrambler we saw on the Rubicon trail a few weeks ago had rails. As a reminder, the Wrangler Scrambler pickup is expected to be based on a long wheelbase version of the JL Wrangler Unlimited. Engines choices will include the 3.6-liter V6, a diesel option and possibly even a hybrid eventually. It's no surprise the Scrambler keeps popping up in spy shots, as it's expected to be revealed later this year, then on sale in 2019. We'll be watching closely until then for more details as they leak, so stay tuned. Related Video:
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.
NHTSA investigating why Jeep recall fix is taking so long
Mon, 07 Jul 2014Jeep's saga with the National Traffic Safety Administration and the voluntary campaign to repair 1.56 million vehicles for allegedly unsafe trailer hitches, is getting yet another chapter. The controversy appeared to finally be over in January when the automaker found a supplier for the replacement parts. Nothing is ever that easy, though, and the government regulator is now requesting documents from the company to clarify why the repairs are taking so long to begin.
Jeep parent company Chrysler has until July 16 to submit documents and answers to NHTSA explaining the situation. The regulator claims that despite its compromise to inspect and repair the models with improper hitches in June 2013, Chrysler didn't find a part supplier until December and didn't order the replacements until January. The government agency believes that the first components weren't manufactured until May of this year and vehicles may not actually be repaired until as late as August. According to the report, if the Chrysler doesn't supply what NHTSA is asking for, the agency could "take additional appropriate action as warranted."
Throughout this entire process, Chrysler has asserted that the vehicles met the applicable crash test standards of the time, and it has kept NHTSA abreast of the repair activity. In a recently released statement it said that the regulator analyzed eight rear impact reconstruction tests and found the replacement hitch to be safe. To keep up with the high demand for replacements, Chrysler is working with multiple suppliers, and they are running three shifts, six days a week to get the parts ready as soon as possible.
