Up for sale is my wife's Red 2008 Jeep SRT8, which is notably equipped with a $17k Tony Bischoff/BES 426 Stroker, purchased, installed and tuned by High Horsepower Performance in Smyrna, DE this past July 2013. The engine lays down 502 naturally aspirated horsepower to the wheels.  It was tuned by Josh Schwartz, owner of HHP, which builds the country's fastest SRT8s.  I live in NYC- shipped the Jeep there based on my research and was not disappointed. The chassis has 46.5k miles and the BES 426 has approximately 4500 miles on it. We are a family of auto enthusiasts and this has always been our reliable daily driver, grocery getter, kid hauler. We have maintained it religously and it needs nothing. It did not lose one bit of reliability or driveability with the 502hp 426 install. It is a sleeper, completely stock exterior that shows as new, the deeper rumble through high flow cats the only hint that this truck has been breathed on. The truck has every option EXCEPT the kicker subwoofer system, which can be retrofitted. Also has transferable extended warranty until 11/24/2015 which is useful-but I would not have a dealer touch the BES engine/tune. About the truck: Exterior - Completely stock. Paint: Beautiful, detailed yearly, has front end clearbra since new; very minor scuff on front bumper (mostly clearbra scuff) from New York City parking Wheels: 3/4 are as new - just had them beautifully refinished, but one now has a small scuff on one of the spokes.  Tires: Brand new Proxes ST2 275/315 less than 500 miles on them and "whiskers" still intact; also purchased an 18inch aluminum spare from tirerack.  Other notable: HID self leveling headlights; Jeep tow hitch; full clearbra front end including mirrors Brakes: Rotors and pads changed approximately 10k miles ago with OEM rotors and Hawk Pads. Plenty of mileage left. Interior: Excellent condition. Options: navi; Front/rear video- both headphones still in plastic; Front/Rear Heated Seats; Heavy duty rubber mats used all year round Maintained as per schedule - Royal Purple HPS on Stroker; Jeep/Chrysler fluids in transfer case and differentials. New wipers. Engine - BES 426; AFE Cold Air; Magnaflow High Flow Cat X-pipe; Custom HHP tune/Diablo unit. I have all records/receipts for interested parties- this engine cost nearly 17k so someone will be getting a bargain. I also have dyno sheets showing 502 whp, title is in hand, no liens.

This has never been to the track but it destroys everything from a stoplight, with all four tires screaming for mercy.  The Diablo unit has recorded a 0-60 time of 3.4 seconds.

Payment via wire transfer, live-in person account transfer (Citibank), or I will accompany you to your bank to source a certified check (all major banks located within steps of my garage in NYC).  Any other forms of payment require 100% clearing before transfer of vehicle or title.

Jeep Wrangler production in Toledo to nearly double by 2018

Fri, Jul 15 2016

The Jeep Wrangler's future in Toledo, OH, is officially secure. FCA US announced plans on Thursday to spend $1.05 billion to retool the Wrangler factory and another site in Illinois to build Jeeps. The investment could add up to 1,000 jobs, and, according to The Detroit Free Press, allow Jeep to build as many as 450,000 Wrangler models in Toledo. FCA is investing $700 million to make over the Toledo North factory to build the next-generation Wrangler – a vehicle that's hotly anticipated by enthusiasts. FCA said this will add about 700 new jobs. The Wrangler factory is part of a multi-site complex in Ohio, and FCA said an announcement about the South factory will come later. Nearly two years ago, FCA chief executive Sergio Marchionne touched off a firestorm by suggesting the Wrangler could leave Toledo, though plans to keep the iconic Jeep there quickly proceeded. Automotive News reports the new Wrangler will use some aluminum elements, run a turbo four-cylinder engine, and offer a diesel variant. Designers will also pay increased attention to aerodynamics, though maintain the Wrangler's familiar appearance. Additionally, FCA reportedly plans to build a Wrangler pickup in Toledo. That 450,000-vehicle threshold could potentially break down into 350,000 traditional Wrangler models, along with another 100,000 Wrangler-based pickup trucks. When the current Toledo plant was opened in 2005, Chrysler said its capacity was about 150,000 vehicles per year. Since then, that figure has increased to about 240,000 Wranglers yearly, and Jeep has no problem selling that many. FCA's factory in Belvidere, IL, gets $350 million for upgrades to produce the Jeep Cherokee, which moves there in 2017 from Toledo as part of a product shuffle. FCA builds the Dodge Dart and Jeep's Patriot and Compass in Belvidere. The automaker is killing the Dart and will replace the compact Jeeps with a single model next year. The moves are part of FCA's strategy to fortify the Jeep brand, which has posted healthy sales and enjoys a strong reputation around the world. Related Video:

Finding surfing spots in the UK is tough work, even in a Jeep

Sun, 06 Jul 2014

You truly have to love surfing to practice the sport in the United Kingdom. The area isn't exactly teeming with warm beaches full of sunbathers, and absolutely no easy spots to find big waves. To be a UK surfer, you need to be a fearless adventurer, not to mention quite lucky. And driving a Jeep might help, too.
Surfers Oli Adams and Micah Lester are traveling around the British Isles in a Jeep Wrangler Overland trying to find the best surf spots out there. These guys don't fit the laid-back surfer stereotype, but that's because finding waves in the UK is hard work. They say that the waves at some of these spots only exist for about three hours every year when the current and winds are just right.
To find these surf spots, the Jeep's offroad capabilities are paramount. In some areas, as you'll see in the video, there isn't even a beach, just jagged rocks. It would be like the movie Endless Summer, that is, if it could start snowing at any moment. These guys are clearly dedicated to their sport.

Stellantis earnings rise along with EV sales

Wed, Feb 22 2023

AMSTERDAM — Automaker Stellantis on Wednesday reported its earnings grew in 2022 from a year earlier and said its push into electric vehicles led to a jump in sales even as it faces growing competition from an industrywide shift to more climate-friendly offerings. Stellantis, formed in 2021 from the merger of Fiat Chrysler and FranceÂ’s PSA Peugeot, said net revenue of 179.6 billion euros ($191 billion) was up 18% from 2021, citing strong pricing and its mix of vehicles. It reported net profit of 16.8 billion euros, up 26% from 2021. Stellantis plans to convert all of its European sales and half of its U.S. sales to battery-electric vehicles by 2030. It said the strategy led to a 41% increase in battery EV sales in 2022, to 288,000 vehicles, compared with the year earlier. The company has “demonstrated the effectiveness of our electrification strategy in Europe,” CEO Carlos Tavares said in a statement. “We now have the technology, the products, the raw materials and the full battery ecosystem to lead that same transformative journey in North America, starting with our first fully electric Ram vehicles from 2023 and Jeep from 2024.” The automaker is competing in an increasingly crowded field for a share of the electric vehicle market. Companies are scrambling to roll out environmentally friendly models as they look to hit goals of cutting climate-changing emissions, driven by government pressure. The transformation has gotten a boost from a U.S. law that is rolling out big subsidies for clean technology like EVs but has European governments calling out the harm that they say the funding poses to homegrown industry across the Atlantic. Stellantis' Jeep brand will start selling two fully electric SUVs in North America and another one in Europe over the next two years. It says its Ram brand will roll out an electric pickup truck this year, joining a rush of EV competitors looking to claim a piece of the full-size truck market. The company plans to bring 25 battery-electric models to the U.S. by 2030. As part of that push, it has said it would build two EV battery factories in North America. A $2.5 billion joint venture with Samsung will bring one of those facilities to Indiana, which is expected to employ up to 1,400 workers. The other factory will be in Windsor, Ontario, a collaboration with South KoreaÂ’s LG Energy Solution that aims to create about 2,500 jobs. The EV push comes amid a slowdown in U.S.
