1998 Xj Jeep Rock Crawler Trail Rig Daily Driver Cherokee 2 Door $13k Invested on 2040-cars
Clarksville, Iowa, United States
|
This is a HIGHLY modified professionally built 2 door XJ Cherokee. This jeep has been on trails in Colorado, Minnesota, and many other advanced trail systems and will run right with the $25,000 buggys. It only has 154,000 original miles and runs like new. It has the bullet proof 4.0 inline six and the auto transmission and the best transfer case Jeep has, the NP231 with a SYE (slip yoke eliminator) kit.
This also comes with a brand new ON Board air system from Viair!!
This jeep was built by a professional 4x4 shop. It has everything you need to do whatever you want. When someone asks, "where do you drive this thing", you simply answer, "anywhere I want".This unit is being offered for much, much less than you can even BEGIN to build one. I have a list of original receipts from the professional 4x4 shop that did all the work, and it totals around $10,000!! (that's not even buying a good solid 2 door XJ which is a tough find in itself. I am selling this Jeep to purchase a small cabin that my whole family can enjoy. I just replaced the complete ARB pump and wiring yesterday. The old pump quit and the new one came with new wiring. I have pix of me testing it out going up some very steep ditches. I also just replaced the tie rod and drag link including all tie rod ends, with heavy duty replacements from the ZJ. Here's a list of some of the mods: Exterior 35"x12.50 17 BFGoodrich KM2 MT Mud Terrain tires x 5 (In great shape as you can see in the pix) (one wheel has a small dent that doesn't affect performance) Bushwacker Pocket flares ARB Snorkel kit JCR Offroad Winch Bumper JCR Offroad Tire Carrier Rock Krawler rear bumper JCR Offroad Gas Tank Skid Plate Rough Country 9500 winch with wireless remote control!! JCR Offtroad Rock Sliders Paint has trail wounds and scratches and a few dings and small dents. (see pix) It is not a show truck. This Jeep is for the trail... and let me tell you, IT TURNS HEADS GOING DOWN THE ROAD!!! Be ready to talk when you stop...anywhere there are people. :) Door pins are warn (common Jeep thing) Mechanical D30 front axle with a D44 rear (Both have Ruffstuff Differential covers) Disc brakes all the way around! 4.56 gears ARB Air Lockers front and rear Front and Rear CV driveshafts. (Unit comes with replacement driveshafts for trail emergencies) NP 231 Transfer Case with the SYE Kit (slip yoke eliminator) It does have an exhaust leak. Otherwise the exhaust is nice. Flowmaster Suspension A FREAK!!!! This unit has the Rough Country 6.5" Long Arm Suspension Kit with the adjustable control arms. It also has a HD skid plate. 1.75 coil spacers and blocks in the rear bring the total lift to over 8"! 3 link front with an upgraded steering stabilizer, track bar, etc... You won't find a more flexible XJ! It also has quick release front stabilizer pins with storage mounts to hand them out of the way. This makes it easy to switch from the trail to the road. In Colorado you have to drive several miles on the road to get to the next trail system at times. Interior Seats are in great shape with no flaws or stains. No smoking in it. Cruise even works! Air doesn't (who needs air...windows down in a Jeep) Rear carpet has some staining from trail usage (carrying spare driveshafts and jack etc. Has a fully charged fire extinguisher Headliner is like it should be (still up and clean) The carpet has been removed and sprayed with bedliner. The door handle on the drivers side inside needs replaced. ( you can still get in and out) No foul smells. actually smells good! overall this Jeep is a super option for the hardcore Jeep guy or the new to Jeep guy. It is ready to be a daily driver (20MPG on the hwy!), or it would be perfectly happy being a fully dedicated trail rig. Whatever your plan is for it, it will be ready! I have copies of all the receipts that were spent at the 4x4 shop. Over $10,000 worth in parts. You would be crazy to build one. It would cost you double what you can buy this one for. Once again, this is not going to win the local show and shine award, but I will promise you that you won't find a better head turner, and even more importantly, a rig that will go where this one will! I have the auction ending before the 4th of July! Buy it now and have it ready for the weekend!! Call 319-231-8974 or text with questions. The Jeep is located in Waverly, Ia. I will work with shippers, but won't set up the shipping. I collect a $750 deposit within 48 hours of the end of the auction. The Jeep must be paid within 7 days of the auction close or it will be re listed. No games. I'm sure if you have read this far, you can picture yourself riding through the trails in this beauty!!! Or the Hwy!! |

Jeep Wrangler by Vilner takes extreme luxury off-road
Mon, 20 Jan 2014Vilner turned its customary and intensely luxurious attentions to a two-door Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited back in 2012, following that up this year with its take on the four-door version. A coat of lustrous black paint outside is brightened up LED headlights, foglights and taillights and layers of chrome laid on the grille, mirrors, door handles and fuel filler cap.
Stance gets an injection of brawn from the 20-inch wheels, and they'll roll faster thanks to the power upgrade from 197 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque in the 2.8-liter diesel to 257 hp and 412 lb-ft.
Inside is furious red, with cross-stitched crimson leather and Alcantara demanding your focus. When you can look away from that, you'll find the raw metal parts painted black and again ornamented in minor applications of chrome. Feel free to feast on it in the high-res gallery above.
These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel and SRT climb onto stage
Mon, 14 Jan 2013This is indeed a case of not knowing how much we wanted something until it arrived. We've been big fans of the Jeep Grand Cherokee ever since the new model arrived a couple of years ago, and while the update you see here might seem just a slight refresh, it's actually much more than that.
For starters, the 2014 Grand Cherokee marks the return of a diesel model here in the States, with Chrysler's new 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 under the hood, churning out 240 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Of course, all of the Grand Cherokee's usual off-road goodies are on hand, with moderate tweaks to make it an even more capable vehicle when the going gets rough. Both the gasoline-fed 3.6-liter V6 and 5.7-liter V8 get the new eight-speed auto, as well.
The high-performance Grand Cherokee SRT also trudges on into the new model year, with very subtle tweaks found underneath the aggressive, slightly redesigned sheetmetal. The 6.4-liter Hemi V8 also gets eight-speed gearing, which Chrysler says will improve not only 0-60 times, but mid-range performance as well. Bring it on, we say.
