 Hello,

I have 3 years labor, and over $11,000 in verified cash receipts in this jeep.  I only put about 5000 miles on this since the complete build. Be the first to take it in the mud!!  I have too much time and money in this jeep to get it muddy.  I took it to the dunes once and it did great. Here are the specs:

 

Short Fender style tub with later model frame/ dash & windshield frame. (The good Electric wipers, defrost, etc)

 

Engine:

350 ci. Fresh rebuild

New Oil pump, timing set, rings, bearings, water pump, ps pump, alternator, etc.

Comp Cams 292 grind cam. .501 lift, 292 duration

Custom built headers

3hp mini-starter

Aluminum radiator/ electric fan. (runs cool)

Victor Jr. aluminum intake w/ 1” spacer

Summit 750cfm Holley copy carb w/ elec. Choke.

Starts easy even when cold.

Has very wicked idle, sounds mean.

(Have all receipts and machine shop itemization)

 

 

Heads:

Aluminum L98 Corvette heads Built at Speed shop in Tigard.

58cc chamber, flat top pistons, runs great on premium pump gas

Z28 springs, retainers, guide plates, vitan seals, Ported, flow tested. Huge runners

Stainless valves, 1.94/1.50

Chromoly pushrods, high-energy poly lock rocker nuts

Roller rockers

$900 invested

(Have all receipts)

 

Transmission:

GM Hydramatic TH-400

Bullet-proof Built by Shop in Roseburg

Upgraded high energy frictions

4L80E Direct Drum

NewSpiral lock rings, 34 element sprag, instead of weaker 16 element.

Transgo shift kit. (The good one that is also the “reprogramming kit”)

Small stall converter, I think it is a 1700 if I remember correctly, just enough to keep it from tugging hard at idle at the stop lights.

(Have all receipts)

 

Drive train etc:

Dana model 20 transfer case. New seals

Scout II Dana 44 front and rear

Disc brake front

New lift springs/ bushings

New Front brakes, calipers, etc.

New Ball joints

Crossover Power steering with all new larger than stock tie rods/ ends.

Drop pitman arm

We gave this 4 degrees of positive caster when setting up the front end, so it drives amazingly well. Better than a lot of stock- height jeeps I have owned.

Steering gear box is a Gm Saginaw box, Frame fish-plated for strength.

All driveshaft u-joints are  new

Rear driveshaft is a double- carden style that is setup correctly(no vibrations)

Dropped engine/ trans down approx. 4” and tilted tailshaft down to correct driveshaft angle. Gives jeep a really nice low center of gravity.

This is not a jeep that will “eat” u-joints once a year. It is setup right.

The rear end has been moved back approx. 2”

Dual gas tanks..10 gal under front seat, 14 gal under rear seat.

Switchable fuel guage .

Full roll cage w/ padding near head area.

Bed-lined inside of tub

New seats./ full seat belts front and rear

Heater works great, and yes it has defrost (no need to carry a towel)

8000lb Warn Winch. Looks and works like new.

Bestop top/ doors in great shape. Windows clear, very few scratches.

New Cragar Black wheels.

New 38x15.50-15 Nitto Mud Grappler tires with less than 500 miles. Still have “nipples” on tread.

Exhaust all new with flowmaster style stainless mufflers.

B&M floor shift

New motor mounts, fuel lines, etc.

Tilt Column

Tachometer

Speedometer, signals/indicators, wipers, heater blower, lights, KC lights, horn, etc all work great.

All white face manual gauges are new.

 

Body is not perfect, but not bad by any means. Floor pans look like they have been replaced and are in perfect shape. Paint is not perfect, but looks good.  Front fenders are fiberglass, everything else is steel. I have included pics of all blemishes on body. The only dent in the body is on hood where it appears someone threw the hood open hard at some point and creased it against windshield frame. 

This jeep is huge and puts all others to shame in this area. Everybody looks when this monster comes rumbling down the road.  Approx 12” of lift, but drives good. Even at 75mph on the freeway.

I can deliver this to an auto shipper in any town within 2 hours from here if you buy this. I know there is one in Medford and probably one in Eugene. Call me with other questions, 541-580-1975. Thanks and happy bidding.

Ford extends shutdown, Stellantis confirms layoffs due to chip shortage

Thu, Apr 22 2021

Ford and Stellantis this week announced new production cuts due to the global semiconductor shortage, with popular models including the Ford F-150 and Jeep Grand Cherokee facing cuts. Stellantis plans to temporarily lay off workers at one facility as production is curtailed.  According to Automotive News, Ford is extending shutdowns at some of its North American facilities into May. The Blue Oval has been forced to reduce or idle production of both its redesigned F-150 pickup and the popular Explorer due to the chip shortage. The Mustang, Transit, Edge, Lincoln Nautilus and Aviator will also continue to be affected. Stellantis is planning to temporarily lay off workers at a Jeep plant in Detroit during April and May due to a shortage of semiconductor chips. The company will cut two work crews at its Jefferson North plant in Detroit for three weeks starting April 26, then call them back and lay off a third crew from May 17 through the week of May 31, according to a schedule obtained by Bloomberg News. The plant on Detroit’s east side normally operates two shifts with three work crews six days a week to keep it running 20 hours a day. “Stellantis continues to work closely with our suppliers to mitigate the manufacturing impacts caused by the various supply chain issues facing our industry,” company spokeswoman Jodi Tinson said in a statement. “Due to the unprecedented global microchip shortage, Jefferson North will adjust its production schedule through the end of May.” Jefferson North employs about 4,800 hourly workers and makes the Jeep Grand Cherokee, the top-selling Jeep model last year, and the Dodge Durango SUV. A redesigned version of the Grand Cherokee is scheduled to start production in August, according to researcher AutoForecast Solutions. This article contains reporting from Bloomberg.

WWII Jeep 'found in crate' set to cross Greenwich auction block

Thu, 30 May 2013

Fans of old military vehicles might want to pay extra close attention to the Greenwich Concours d'Elegance coming up this weekend. Crossing the Bonhams auction block on Sunday are a pair of seemingly flawless World War II Jeeps, which are both expected to fetch serious dollars.
Lot Number 305 at the auction is a 1945 Ford GPW Jeep that has been fully restored, which is expected to command between $35,000 and $45,000. Shortly after the Ford GPW, a potentially more interesting 1944 Willys MB (shown above) will be auctioned off, but Hemmings raises some red flags about this Jeep. First, it is claiming to have been "discovered in its original crate about 30 years ago," but there is no proof or documentation of any sort. Also, it is claiming to be all original, but it was given a paint job "shortly after it was discovered." Even with these questionable descriptions, this Willys could reach between $20,000 and $30,000. Head over to Bonhams' site and Hemmings for more information on both WW2-era Jeeps.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk and a Final Four of automakers | Autoblog Podcast #723

Fri, Apr 1 2022

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski. We start out with news on the Lotus Eletre and Ferrari Purosangue. These two high-end crossovers are followed by discussions about the new inline-six engines from Stellantis and an overabundance of Hummer EV orders. Next we try something we've never tried before: ranking automaker blue bloods. We took inspiration from the current NCAA tournament, which features Duke, North Carolina, Villanova and Kansas — very much traditional blue-blood basketball programs — to name our Final Four automakers. Let us know if you agree or disagree with our picks and what your definition of a blue blood car brand is. We wrap up with a discussion about the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk that Jeremy's been driving all week. Send us your questions for the Mailbag and Spend My Money at: Podcast@Autoblog.com.
