I have a really neat, rare '84 Cherokee up for sale here. Extensive engine / driveline work, still has the original blue plates and original title (I purchased it from the original owner). It was parked about 15yrs ago, and started up every few years. I went through the electrical and vacuum system and got it running (lots of repaired vac lines, new ignition etc). It really moves when it starts building boost (around 5psi with the current pulleys). The body is actually in very good shape, with the exception of the roof, which had wet leaves sitting on it and caused it to rust through in various places around the roof rack mounting holes. It's temporarily sealed up so rain water doesn't get inside (not perfect, as rain water does still get in.....). The roof could be just spot patched or fully replaced, I have a full replacement roof that comes with it for either route.

ENGINE:
• 2.8l with a Fageol Supercharger kit (BAR/smog legal) (fageolsuperchargers.com)
• Engine professionally rebuilt by Salinas 4x4
• Ported/ polished heads
• Forged pistons with zero-gap piston rings
• Blower cam
• Roller rockers
• Engine is fully balanced
• High volume oil pump, remote mount oil filter and remote cooler
• Crank is cross-drilled and chamfered
• 2.5" turbo exhaust system
• Torqeflite trans has only 20k miles on professional overhaul and includes Transgo race-level valve body (nice firm shifts; in 4low, it will chirp the tires into all gears)
• 2" receiver hitch

TO DO:
• Needs a speedo cable, and the gauges are out because of that. Heater works fine, stereo has been removed, but I have one you can put back in.
• Roof repair (unless I get really REALLY bored and do it myself....but then the price will go up...)
• It does have a BAR label on the door frame, and the computer is pre-check engine light, so all it really has to pass for CA Smog is the tailpipe emissions. Still has all necessary equipment (catalytic converter, EGR, etc) Fully legal swap as explained in the Fageol paperwork.
• VIDEO!! You may have to copy paste the link as eBay doesn't let you put in links like they used to. This is a cold start, you can hear the idle is on the fast idle cam. (No smoke, the tailpipe just has moisture coming out from it warming up.) s800.photobucket.com/user/yellowoctupus/media/craigslist/M4V02347.mp4.html


Item Condition Key

  • New: New with opened/unopened original box or New without original box.
  • Mint: As good as new but delicately used.
  • Excellent: Very nearly mint condition, encountered some use.
  • Very Good: Limited flaws, working condition
  • Good: Some wear, yet still very usable will not pass as new. Often just well broke-in.
  • Fair: Significant wear, some imperfections, functional and useable. I rarely sell items in this condition.

Motor Vehicles

  • Please understand when bidding on an item, especially used snowmobiles, motorcycles, mini bikes, go carts, cars and trucks, that I occasionally have for sale that you are given the full auction period to come out and look the unit over before making a decision to bid or not. Once you have made that decision (to bid), it is a bid to own, not the right or option to “kick tires and make offers”. All sales come without warranties. I do my best to describe all my auctions as best as I can and I do so cautiously to avoid potential problems.

Bidding

  • Believe it or not there are some people out there bidding on auctions without any intent of following through with their legal obligation of payment. This as you might guess is a waste of my time and screws other legitimate bidders out of a legitimate auction. This also put a financial burden on the seller for fees not collected through normal payment. I will, on or immediately after deadline for payment lodge a dispute for payment with eBay.
  • Because of the above I will reserve the right to accept or decline bids from anyone with a rating of 5 or less without prior agreement. This will include two ways, other than eBay, to contact you directly.
  • Some of my items on eBay are also offered for sale locally. Once there is a bid on eBay however, I will not accept local offers. If you are interested in the item for sale, put in a bid early to make sure it doesn't disappear!

Shipping

  • I will normally ship your order within 3 business days.
  • I will gladly combine shipping.
  • No other charges for handling unless stated in auction. (Engine crating, etc)
  • Shipping calculator is for an estimate only as lately I have seen it give both incredibly high and low calculations (as well as very accurate).
  • I will make every attempt to fit your item into a USPS flat rate priority box. This alleviates most shipping cost problems.
  • Flat rate shipping charges (when offered) apply to the continental US only, but once again, I will only charge actual shipping to HI & AK.
  • There is no charge for local pick up.
  • International Shipping - The shipping and handling fee for this item (if international shipping is offered) is displayed under the eBay Shipping and Payment tab above. Please Note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyers responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying. We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.

Payment

  • Payment can be made through PayPal. For other payment options please contact me directly. Cash is always accepted at pick up.
  • Funding your PayPal purchase with monies from a bank account will be held by Paypal / eBay for four business days. This is a PayPal / eBay policy.
  • Payment must be received in US funds within 7 days or item will be re-listed and proper feed back left.

Returns & Help

  • NO RETURNS unless I sent you the incorrect parts.
  • I describe everything I'm selling to the best of my knowledge, if I do not know the condition of something (ie, electronics) I will be the first to tell you that fact.
  • Please ask for additional pictures, and ask specifics about the auction before it's over. It is the buyer's responsibility to ask questions.
  • Remember...unless I specify the auction part is new....these parts are USED. This means not new. I know this may sound obvious, but I'm still amazed when there's some old dirty looking part up for sale and people complain because they get an old dirty part!
  • If something is damaged in transit, you can make your claim off the USPS insurance tag. If you did not request/ pay for insurance, that is not my problem. It is very cheap ($2/$3) for the coverage that is given.
  • Please ask any question before bidding. Check my feedback. I'm not looking to give or receive problems. Neither you nor I want any surprises.
  • Please contact me with any questions by using the "Ask a question" button in the listing.

Feedback

  • I will, upon receiving feedback, leave feedback. I do this with the hopes of rectifying any problem.
  • Please understand leaving feedback before allowing me to fix a problem will not motivate me to fix that problem.
  • Please contact me with any questions by using the "Ask a question" link near the bottom of the listing.
Thanks so much and good luck bidding!!!

Watch this 650-hp Hennessey Jeep Grand Cherokee go from 0-60 in 3.9 seconds

Tue, 14 May 2013

Hennessey Performance Engineering has created an HPE650 package for the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT fitted with the 6.4-liter Hemi engine. When it leaves the showroom floor it has 470 horsepower and gets from 0-60 miles per hour in 4.8 seconds. When it leaves Hennessey's garage floor after the upgrade it has 650 horsepower - 530 hp at the wheels, according to Hennessey - and gets to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds on its way to running the quarter-mile in 12.6 seconds.
There's more than just a Roots-type supercharger bolt-on, with ported cylinder heads and high-flow headers among the many changes made to the engine. You can watch this pre-2014 facelift silver model prove its spec sheet on the drag strip in the video below.

Chrysler's Jefferson North plant builds 5-millionth SUV [w/video]

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

Chrysler's Jefferson North Assembly Plant opened in 1992 for production of the first Jeep Grand Cherokee, but in the subsequent years, the Detroit plant has gone on to produce some of the company's biggest SUVs including the Jeep Commander and Dodge Durango. Earlier this week, the plant produced its five-millionth SUV, which, fittingly, was a Grand Cherokee.
Celebrating the plant's five-millionth unit, the silver 2014 Grand Cherokee was promptly donated to the USO. In addition to this milestone SUV, Chrysler also had a near-perfect 1993-95 ZJ Grand Cherokee on hand for the photo op. Scroll down for the Chrysler press release as well as a video showing some of the speeches from the celebration.

Jeep Renegade sales being held due to powertrain issue [UPDATE]

Wed, May 20 2015

UPDATE: An unnamed FCA US source has clarified to Automotive News that while there is a software issue, it does not concern the transmission. The Jeep Renegade appears to be facing early software problems that are similar to the ones at the introduction of the Cherokee a few years ago. The issue is keeping the brand's latest compact crossover away from dealers until the situation can be resolved. The fault reportedly deals with the software controlling the Renegade's nine-speed automatic transmission. FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne briefly talked about what was happening in an interview with Automotive News. "I'm having a very bad engineering day," he said. "It's a combination of attributes of that vehicle that is making my life horrible." The company boss predicted at the longest it could take until mid-June to fix things. Through April, Jeep has sold 5,157 Renegades, including 4,214 of them in that month alone. Autoblog reached out to an FCA US spokesperson to learn more about the software problem, but the company had no comment. Getting the software right to control the nine-speed automatic plagued development of the Cherokee. The issues delayed the model's launch in 2013, and the company was still releasing improvements for some vehicles this year.
