Gadsden, Alabama, United States

Listed is a jeep that only had a production of 6895 in 88. This truck is not the vehicle to get your 16 year olds for their first car, it is not the pretty little four wheel drive that has never had anything more than road grime in it fender wells. This truck is the ultimate off road vehicle with the capacity of carrying a load. The owner of this truck will be the go to guy or girl when they need someone to bring the fire wood and the keg to the top of the mountain for the bon fire. This truck not only can make it up the hill, but it can make it up with monsterous style on the hardest trail and with ease . 

This truck isn't some 4 banger rice rocket, it has the powerhouse inline six 4.0 that has driven jeep into the pages of history. And as with any good jeep the 4.0 is matted up to the ax15 five speed transmission. To ensure it doesn't  matter how big that rock is this rig has a 4.5in lift and not some cheesy looking body lift but a Rustys off road full suspension lift. This wasn't a patch together lift job, or a spring over kit, it was done right with all the heavy duty extention needed to make it right, down to a cv driveshaft to allow all the power in the legendary 4.0 to make it to the wheels. I just installed a motor out of a 93 xj and replaced all seals from the head to the injectors. This motor has less than 60k on it!! It has diff guards to protect this rig from being put out of commission during even the most violent rock crawling!! This is one of the few remaining trucks with true straight axles front and rear. 

It's is an off road beast but she isn't going to when any beauty contest. Mechanically she is solid and the body isn't beyond restoring just not what I'd do with it.

Thanks for looking!!!!!!!

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.

2014 Jeep Compass/Patriot sing their swan songs with a six-speed automatic

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

Unless the governor, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne, gives them a reprieve, the 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot are expected to meet their makers sometime next year. Should they perish, it's a shame that it would happen just as they've shed the continuously variable transmission that was their major bugbear, and just as the Compass has gotten its best looks yet.
Both will roll with a proper six-speed automatic transmission, courtesy of PowerTech. Noise-resistant gears and tuning by Chrysler boffins should alleviate the unappealing sounds that were given off by the older CVT. Unless, that is, you choose to have either model equipped with Freedom Drive II; the serious off-road package, available on both baby Jeeps, will still come with the CVT. The base transmission on the entry-level Sport trim remains the five-speed manual.
Otherwise, it's minor changes for the Compass, set off by the new 18-inch wheel option, trim pieces around the car and a back-up camera. The Patriot gets seat-mounted airbags, but is carryover otherwise. With their expected demises perhaps a year away, not much has changed otherwise. Engine choices comprise the 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 158 horsepower and 141 pound-feet of torque or the 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 172 hp and 165 lb-ft.

Some Jeep Cherokees and Chrysler 200s to get standard stop-start in 2015

Wed, 25 Jun 2014

Automakers the world over are striving to find ways to make their models more efficient, and Chrysler has a solution for some versions of the 2015 Chrysler 200 and 2015 Jeep Cherokee (2014 model shown). The Tigershark 2.4-liter four-cylinder in the 200 and the 3.2-liter Pentastar V6 in the Cherokee are getting a slight boost later this year thanks to the addition of Chrysler's Engine Stop-Start system as standard equipment. The company predicts modest gains - a three-percent improvement in fuel economy and a three percent reduction in CO2 emissions with the new tech compared to without it. While it's not much, those who sit in traffic a lot may see a difference.
Chrysler's stop/start system uses a high-speed starter motor to restart the vehicle in a claimed a third of a second. It works by detecting when the vehicle comes to a stop and turning off the engine. A more powerful battery maintains all of the model's accessories while it sits. When the driver lets off the brake, the car starts up again to drive away. There is even a button in the cabin to turn the ESS off, if desired.
The Jeep will be the first to receive ESS in the third quarter of this year to coincide with the start of production of the 2015 model-year version. The 200 will follow in the fourth quarter as a rolling change in production.
