Disregard the "Base sport utility" and 4.2liter mentioned in the above description. 

      Originally commissioned by a local entrepreneur for use at his beachfront property in Mexico.  Built by CW Performance in Longmont, Colo, Carl Wells (RIP) has built some very nice vehicles.  I have receipts for over $100K spent, no nut or bolt has been left untouched.  Only the highest quality pieces were selected for this build. 

      Engine started lifeas a 1999 Wrangler 4.0 liter.  It was rebuilt and uses fuel injection, a Crane Cam, a larger throttle body and a very gorgeous Hesco aluminum head.  A Borrani header takes care of the exhaust flow.  It runs great.  The clutch is a Centerforce, the trans a rebuilt Borg/Warner T5.  Dual Optima batteries are held in a Wrangler Products battery tray.  An aluminum radiator is cooled by twin electric fans, thermostatically controlled.  Front and rear diffs are 4.56 ratio, the rear an AMC 20 (I believe) with locker, the front equipped with an Ox locker controlled from inside.  Axles are either new or remanufactured as are the driveshafts.  Both diffs feature attractive alloy covers.  Brakes are new and equipped with stainless brake lines.  Suspension is by Fab Tek and Rubicon.  Rubicon express with 4.5" lift and Rubicon extreme duty shock kit.  The wheels are Sertes (the invoice was a little unclear) model 397 and are shod with Goodyear Dura/trac 33/12.50/15 tires, 5 of them.  A Skyjacker transfer case lowering kit is also fitted.  The bumpers are both Warn brand with a rear tire carrier and front winch mount options.  The Warn winch is a Powerplant Dual Force with air compressor built in.  Winch controls are both wired and keyless remote.  A very professional roll cage will keep you unruffled.  All lighting is special, featuring Delta H4 conversions, Hella lights and KC spots.  All running lights are LED and look very cool.  Warn Rock Sliders protect the rocker panels.  A high lift jack is securly mounted above the spare. 

      The frame has been powder coated, the body or tub has been Rhinolined on the underside as well as the interior.  The Gold color professionally done of course.  The hood, windshield, windshield frame are new.  The instruments are either new or reman and work perfectly.  A Kenwood radio/navigation/dvd is enhanced by an Alpine amp and Boss as well as DC Gold speakers.  The Trailmaster seats are matching, front and rear.  A pilot to co/pilot intercom system is included for when the going gets very exciting.  Headsets with mic's are included.  Tuffy brand center console protects the radio and a dash mounted Tuffy security glovebox protects other valuables. 

      The Besttop roof and windows as well as doors are only about 3 years old.  The Jeep was finished in 2008 and has about 2800 miles.  I use the term "new" a lot in describing items, in truth everything has been used for 2800 miles.  Other new or reman items I forgot to mention:  steering box, ball joints, tie rod ends, Q Snorkel, poly fuel tank, steering wheel, and much more. 

      I got the Jeep from the gentleman who commissioned the build.  I would like to move it on to finance my road racing habits.  If you ever wanted to put together an awesome Jeep, here it is.  My name is Jack and I am certainly available to answer your questions.  I have perfect feedback and want to keep it that way.  Good luck and please bid.

Jeep Liberty replacement takes shape

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

Now that the Liberty has left us for greener pastures, it's time to start looking into the future of the midsize Jeep model. The next all-new vehicle for the off-road brand will be the SUV you see here, effectively replacing the Liberty, and not necessarily carrying on with that name.
From the sides, the prototype you see here sort of looks like a miniature version of the handsome Grand Cherokee, albeit with a bit more in the way of body sculpting. Up front, the seven-slat grille will be front and center, with completely revised headlamp designs that are reportedly angular and sweep well into the front fenders (you can sort of see what we're talking about in the side profile). That doesn't sound very Jeep-like, but we'll reserve judgment until we, you know, see the thing.
The bigger question with the Liberty replacement will be whether or not its off-road chops will be up to snuff. After all, the two previous generations of Liberty models were body-on-frame traditional SUVs, whereas this new Jeep rides on a larger version of the Dodge Dart platform.

Chrysler delays 2014 Jeep Cherokee media launch

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

Chrysler is making the unusual move of delaying the first media drives of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, which were slated to start next week in Seattle. And while something like this is a rare occurrence, and one that most of the Autoblog staff can't recall happening this publicly or so close to the event itself, it won't effect the actual on-sale date of the new Cherokee, which is set to hit showrooms in September.
"Over the last couple of weeks during final quality and durability testing, we have discovered the opportunity to further improve powertrain calibration," Chrysler told Automotive News. This marks the second notable delay in the Cherokee's short life, after production was delayed for roughly a month earlier this summer.
Still, we'd rather Chrysler make sure the Cherokee is ready for primetime before flying media in from around the country. It shows a willingness to get things right the first time, rather than offering media drives and then tweaking the car after the fact.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
