 Hi, Up for sale is my 1988 CherokeeI originally bought the jeep 3 years ago and built it up in California, I moved Illinois and had it shipped back.  It spent its entire life, up until this past winter in California, so it has no rust.  I have kept all the receipts for this build along with the parts instruction manuals.  The odometer says 225,000, but that is only on the body, everything else has been replaced. Here's a list of all that is on it...  You can buy it now at $7500, the reserve is set at $6000.

The jeep has been wheeled and is unstoppable, it has some rock rash on the wheels and on the body, but the paint is still glossy and looks great.  There are two things that need a little bit of work.  There is some interference coming through the speakers, I've been told it just needs a better ground.  It also needs an alignment.  It drives straight and tracks fine, but the steering wheel is cocked at a strange angle.   If you have any other questions or want more pictures, let me know.  Thanks for looking.


Maybe I should have posted this better,  the body, mainly just the odometer has 225000 miles on it.  The axles, transmission, transfer case, engine, lift, and basically everything else has about 10,000 miles on them.  The axles were fully rebuilt at a shop in california called the rear end shop, new seals, new bearings, new gears and new lockers.  The transmission was bought new along with the bellhousing, slave cylinder and throwout bearing.  Transfer case is out of a 2006 jeep liberty and was rebuilt when the slip-yoke eliminator was installed. Tom woods driveshaft was purchased new when i bought the lift.  The engine has been completely torn down, and rebuilt at tech machine in Livermore, ca.  It has been bored 30 over and is running a comp cams xtreme 4x4 camshaft for big torque.  if you have any other legit questions, ask away. Thanks.

Jeep going bigger with new Grand Wagoneer, smaller with sub-Renegade?

Tue, 11 Mar 2014

The headlines are still rolling in for the new Renegade that Jeep unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show last week, but already reports are surfacing, citing sources within the company, about what Chrysler's iconic off-road brand will do next.
Speaking with Auto Express (whose reports we tend to take with a grain of salt or two), Jeep chief Mike Manley suggested that two courses of action are currently under consideration at Auburn Hills to develop two very different new models - one smaller and one larger than anything Jeep currently makes.
One plan would be to make an SUV or crossover even smaller than the new Renegade, although it isn't immediately clear what platform it would take. The Renegade (pictured above in Trailhawk spec) will be built in Italy alongside Fiat's upcoming 500X, but uses a heavily modified platform. We figure the smaller model, if approved, could base itself on the new Fiat Panda Cross.

Chrysler readying 20 Moparized vehicles for SEMA

Tue, 08 Oct 2013

The Las Vegas Convention Center has plenty of space for aftermarket companies and automakers to show off their wares, and it looks like Chrysler is taking advantage of the spacious floor plan. At next month's SEMA Show, Chrysler will have a full 20 cars from its six brands decked out with Mopar gear.
As a hint of what is to come, Chrysler released a handful of teaser sketches showing glimpses of modified Jeep Cherokee, Ram 1500, Fiat 500L and Chrysler 300 concept vehicles. The automaker will also use the venue to show off a new line of Jeep Performance Parts offered by the all-new Mopar Off-Road Division. In addition to the images, Chrysler also issued a brief press release - posted below - breaking down some of the "industry-first features" that Mopar has offered in recent years.

Jeep follows up Super Bowl spot with call to help the USO

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Once again, Chrysler had one of the most talked about Super Bowl commercials with its two-minute Whole Again Jeep spot, which was used to highlight its Operation SAFE Return program for US military personnel returning home from active duty. As part of this campaign, Jeep announced today that it will be donating up to $300,000 to the United Services Organizations (USO), and you can help.
Simply tweet using the #joinOSR hashtag on Twitter, visit the Yahoo! homepage or go to the Jeep Operation SAFE Return website, and Jeep will donate $1 to a fund that provides returning troops things like employment assistance and incentives to buy new vehicles. Jeep is also donating to this charity to the tune of $250 for each Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited (including the Freedom Edition model) and Jeep Patriot Freedom Edition model sold.
