2006 Rubi with 69,972 miles (may be a little more due to occasional driving while it's up for sale. I had Chrysler email the build sheet with all of the exact specs and the total number of Impact Orange Rubicon's built in 2006 (only 452). It is in super good condition with the interior and exterior showing very little signs of use. No dents, dings or notable scratches. There are a few rock chips due to driving that has been touched up. The black Sunrider soft top is in good shape as well (hardtop was sold by the previous owner). It runs and drives like it should. The interior is near perfect and still pretty much original with the exception of a set of front all weather floor liners by Quadratec, Pioneer Mixtrax satellite radio with USB connections and an under dash courtesy light disabling switch (just flip the switch when you remove the doors). Now the exterior and drivetrain is a different story. I wanted to build a trail beast while trying to keep the jeeps awesome originality. Starting with the suspension, I went with a full 4" coil spring lift using Teraflex springs and 8 Teraflex classic adjustable control arms. From there, I used Old Man Emu Nitrocharger shocks and a multitude of other high end components to complete the lift. I then added a set of 4 new Kenda Klever 285/75SR16 on the stock Moab Rubicon wheels. Next a new Rugged Ridge black textured front and rear tube bumpers with a set of KC off-road lights added to the front. Finally, a set of Poison Spyder rocker knockers with tube and a fuel door cover were painted to match the body color and installed.
The ONLY notable thing that I will say about this Jeep (if you want to even call it that) is that it originally was sold and driven up north and there is some surface oxidation on some of the bare metal parts under the jeep (muffler, hubs, nuts, bolts etc) as seen in some of the pics. It is not bad but I am a detail perfectionist and want to be as honest as possible. All of this work and upgrades were completed in May and has less than 100 miles since completion (tires still show signs of the nipple, see pics). I originally built this intending on doing some family rides only to realize that it is not going to work with my family of 5. I will consider taking a trade on the right 4 door automatic JK 4x4 (must be worked before the auctions end). I bought the Rola Adventure Series Bumper Pack for the gear which I will include in the sale for an additional $300 unless "buy it now" is used and I will throw it in (check them out online, they are awesome and cost well over $600 new, which this one is). Do not hesitate to contact me for any questions or specific picture requests. You wont be disappointed. Thanks, Dane

Jeep Renegade pricing to start at $18,595?
Fri, 14 Mar 2014While there's no shortage of excitement surrounding the new Jeep Renegade, one of the limiting factors to the little trucklet will be its price. With the Kia Soul starting at $14,900 and the Nissan Juke kicking off at $18,990, the Renegade can't afford to stray away from that price bracket.
And judging by some potentially leaked pricing info, it won't. A quick Google search of "Jeep Renegade Price" reveals (at least for now) that the Italian-built Jeep will start at $18,595. The "as shown" price of $25,895 seems to indicate the Trailhawk model shown on Jeep's consumer page.
If the $18,595 figure is correct, it's likely for the base, two-wheel-drive Sport model, with the Latitude and Limited trims falling somewhere between there and the $25,895 as-equipped price of the Trailhawk.
Chrysler teases upcoming outlay of SEMA cars
Wed, 15 Oct 2014Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is hauling a multitude of modified models to the annual SEMA show in Las Vegas this November, and the company is releasing the first teasing sketches of many of them.
Unfortunately, FCA isn't giving many solid details on any of the concepts other than saying the vehicles from Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Fiat all benefit from tuning from its Mopar performance brand. The teaser photos include a sinister-looking Chrysler 200S, Fiat 500 Abarth with two-tone paint and a scorpion on the hood, a red and black 500L, seemingly two different takes on the Jeep Renegade, a green Dodge Challenger wearing the T/A badge, an orange and black Dart, a very neon Charger, just the outline of a red and black Viper, a Ram ProMaster in Mopar livery and a Ram pickup called the Outdoorsman.
Take a look through the gallery to see what you think of the sketches for these concepts, and scroll down for the full announcement from FCA.
7 months later, Jeep 'trailer hitch' recall still stalled
Tue, 14 Jan 2014For the past few years, Chrysler and its CEO, Sergio Marchionne, have gone head-to-head with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and its boss, David Strickland, over the government safety agency's request for Chrysler to recall almost three-million Jeep vehicles due to what NHTSA says is a safety issue that has caused at least 51 deaths. After a three-year investigation and Chrysler's initial refusal to issue a recall because it deemed the vehicles safe and built to the day's federal requirements, last summer, the two parties compromised on a "voluntary campaign" to inspect 1.56 million vehicles, those being the 1992 to 1998 Grand Cherokee and 2002 to 2007 Liberty.
Those vehicles were designed with their gas tanks between the rear axle and the bumper, and NHTSA says that in rear-end collisions, damage to the fuel tank has caused fires responsible for those 51 deaths. The compromise reached last summer was that Chrysler would inspect 1.56 million vehicles and, "if necessary, provide an upgrade to the rear structure of the vehicle." Practically speaking, that meant Chrysler would replace aftermarket trailer hitches, but would take no action if a vehicle had a factory-installed hitch or an aftermarket hitch from Mopar.
A report in The Detroit News says the "voluntary campaign" is just now getting under way, with Chrysler saying last week that the design of the replacement part had been finalized and it was tooling up "to deliver the required volume." Seven months later, still in question is whether NHTSA will crash-test the fix engineered by Chrysler, noteworthy because not only did the vehicles in question pass every safety standard necessary to be cleared for sale at the time, there are still questions (to those of us on the outside) as to how the Jeeps at issue fare among their peers in such incidents. Either way, Chrysler and NHTSA apparently still disagree on the efficacy of the remedy itself: the carmaker says it might help in low-speed crashes but not high-speed collisions, a position the NHTSA is at odds with. All of this means the campaign doesn't yet have an end in sight.
