1996 Jeep Cherokee Country 350 Sbc, Chopped, 4 Linked And Street Legal on 2040-cars
Clayton, New York, United States
|
For sale is my 96 Cherokee Country. Bought this in February of 2011 as my first vehicle as a complete rust bucket. Floor was rotted, rockers, you name it. Slowly throughout the years, I've built it to what it has become and it is finally time to part ways. Some of you may have seen it in 4 Wheeler MAgazine. Body + axles have 245,000 miles.
350 Small block Chevy: Advance Adapters engine mounts and headers, Summit intake, cam, and lifters, MSD HEI distributor, Holley 600 w/ vacuum secondaries. New water pump, power steering pump and alternator 700R4 trnasmission that was rebuilt 10,000 miles ago: Shifts firm with a shift kit. NP231 transfer case with 241 input planetary and new range selector fork Iron Rock Offroad Hack N' Tap with rebuilt Cherokee front driveshaft in the rear 8.25 rear end, open diff with 3:55's. New brakes, trussed with all the brackets for the 4 link welded to it. 4 linked rear using OEM JK front lower control arms, brackets from Ballistic Fabrication, TJ Rubicon rear coils, Rough Stuff Specialties 7/8" heim joints and OEM F-250 rear shocks. Wheel base was stretched 2 inches at the time. Stock HP Dana 30 up front with 3:55's. Again, open diff newer u joints, may need ball joints. Rough Country 3" springs with 2" spacers and Rough Country shocks, Rubicon Express track bar, Rough Country steering stabilizer, aftermarket lower control arms. Chopped summer of 2012. OEM rear seat can still be used, sound bar relocated and works, rear window from an old Datsun truck that needs resealing. Bed and rear wall are all 16 gauge sheet metal. Rear frame section was replaced from sheet metal (which again, was rusted) to 1/8" wall 2X4 with the rear 2x5 3/16's wall rear bumper welded to it for extra strength. 2" receiver hitch in the bumper. 2X4 1/8" wall rockers with 3/16"s tree bars welded down the body seam and bolted to the floor..... which has all been replaced except the front half of the transmission tunnel, with 16 gauge and a rubber floor to top it off. 33x12.50x15 BFG All Terrains with 3/4-1/2 tread although they are cracked some but none have ever leaked air. Now for the bad: Needs a speedometer, I just never got around to buying one when I did the engine swap since the computer was removed and the gauges no longer work. Power drivers seat stopped working after the engine swap as well Needs a new flex plate. It rattles sometimes in overdrive and reverse. I have a different one, just need to install it. Finish wiring the turn signals in the rear. Again, just never got around to doing it. ^^^ Both the light wiring and flex plate WILL be done before somebody buys it. E brake is not hooked up. I can't really think of anything else wrong with it. I've built the entire Jeep myself since I never had much of a budget throughout high school. I have a few hundred pictures of it since I've bought it until a few months ago when I parked it. I've been starting it every two weeks and moving it to make sure its still running fine. It starts faster than my RX-8 even after its been sitting. Please contact me through here or call/ text me at 315-921-1-Four-0 One with any questions. Asking $4,300 OBO and I'm in no huge rush to sell it although I would like to start my turbo RX-8 build and could use the cash for that. |

Jeep rear-mounted fuel tank controversy
Four Wheeler crowns Ultimate Factory 4x4... who wins?
Thu, 15 Nov 2012Nearly every automaker doing business in the SUV or pickup truck segments offers a package designed to improve the off-road capabilities of its wares. But, of course, not all such factory kits are created equal. How, then, to separate the wheat from the chaff? Gather each of them up and put them through their paces, naturally.
The folks from Four Wheeler and PickupTrucks.com joined forces to run just such a comparison test, with the winner named the Ultimate Factory 4x4. A total of seven vehicles showed up to the fight: the 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, 2012 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X and Xterra PRO-4X, 2012 Ram Power Wagon, and 2012 Toyota 4Runner Trail and Tacoma TRD T|X Baja Series.
With the contestants in place, the whole crew put each vehicle through a battery of tests that included skidpad and acceleration measurements, a hillclimb, a rocky stairstep course and a rock garden. Considering the nature of the beasts, on-road ride and comfort were not part of the routine.
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.
