Don't know where to start. This is a 1988 Jeep Wrangler totally restored with a Chevy 350 4 bolt main motor four and a half years ago. This Jeep has been rebuilt from the frame up and only has 493 miles on it in 4 and a half years. The only thing that was not taken off was the steering box. This Jeep has NEVER been off road since being rebuilt. The motor was built by myself at a local performance shop. Everything but the 350 4 bolt main block is new. The wire harness is a brand new Painless harness. Runs awesome. Little cold blooded at first but comes right out of it in a minute or two.

 Here we go, the majority of the parts and advice were provided by 4 Wheel Drive Hardware.The 5 speed transmission and transfer case came from a late model 6 cylinder Jeep from California with 23,000 miles on them and have all new linkages and levers as well as mounts. The motor again is a 350 Chevy 4 bolt main, aluminum intake, Demon 4 barrel carb, serpentine single belt system with new alternator, water pump and power steering pump with new motor mounts. Hedman coated headers and stainless valve covers with K&N air cleaner and breathers. Dual stainless steel exhaust front to back custom installed. New flywheel, clutch and pressure plate. Adjustable fuel regulator with gauge, braided fuel line and throttle cable. Oversized aluminum dual core radiator with an electric fan and billet aluminum coolant recovery tank. The front differential is stock with chrome moly axels. The rear differential is a Ford 8.8 with a Super 88 Axle Kit with a Detroit set of gears and c-clip eliminator system. The drive shafts are heavy duty professionally custom made shafts made from Spicer parts. Gel Cell Optima battery. All brand new brake components, stainless brake lines, calipers, rotors, pads, backing plates, e-brake cables, power booster and master cylinder. All new tie rod ends, tie rods and new pitman arm. YJ 4.5 Extreme-Duty Offroad Kit with heavy duty leaf springs, shackles, pearches, u-bolts  and Rubicon Monotube Shocks. Detachable sway bar and new body mounts. Dick Cepek tires, Radial F-C 2, LT305/170R16 with Dick Cepek Wheels. Warn Rockcrawler bumpers with winch mount and grill protector (not shown) and stainless D-Rings. Sure Step side bars. New steering shaft, bearings and GT steering wheel. All new door, tailgate and windshield hinges. New mirrors and mounts with Safari Doors. Tub underbody professionally undercoated in black and the tub interior is undercoated with the same tint as the jeep exterior color. New lights all around, LED rear lights, new markers and high intensity headlights. New Pioneer stereo with AM/FM and CD with new speakers using factory installation, looks stock. All gauges are Auto Meter Pro- Comp Ultra-Lite white gauges. The oil pressure gage just now is acting up, when turning on the key switch the gages all go through their automatic cycle but then the oil pressure gage pins itself without the motor running. This is new since taking it out of storage. I can assure you the oil pressure is good and suspect the sending unit or gage is defective. The Jeep has Mastercraft interior bucket front seats with 4 point seat belts and lap belts for rear bench seat. New seat risers as well. After market center console. Over $35,000.00 in Receipts not counting time. I also failed to mention the Jeep has a Rugged Ridge Mega Short Slip Yoke Eliminator Kit and a new Centerforce clutch. The following link has a brief video of it running a few days ago and a good view of the whole Jeep. If clicking on it does not work try copying it and pasting it to your tool bar. If you still have problems please feel free to contact me.

2013 AEV Brute Double Cab

Fri, 11 Jan 2013

These are the guys who bring an M777 howitzer to a knife fight. In terms of overall rugged utility, the all-new 2013 Brute Double Cab from American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) is about as overkill as they come, and we can't seem to get enough of the beasts that this company produces. Unlike most aftermarket firms, always striving to lower cost and increase volume (but at the expense of quality), Michigan-based AEV takes pride in its OEM-quality design, engineering, manufacturing and testing. Everything is as good, or better, than the stuff from the factory, and they have been doing it this way for more than 15 years.
Launched at the recent 2012 SEMA show was the 2013 AEV Brute Double Cab. Its debut marked the company's expansion to a four-door Brute on the newer JK platform (drawing inspiration from the Land Rover Defender 130). I recently spent a few hours with the new truck in sunny Southern California, though unfortunately, due to time constraints, I was limited to pavement-only driving impressions.

Marchionne: Midsize pickup still not in the cards; Ram 1500, Jeep Wrangler could use aluminum

Wed, 07 May 2014

During the Fiat-Chrysler briefings on Tuesday, Reid Bigland, head of Ram Trucks, outlined the new product plans for his brand, including confirmation that an all-new light-duty Ram 1500 will launch in 2017. From there, discussions spun off in two directions, with the main questions being: will Ram build a midsize pickup? And, following Ford's move to extensively use aluminum in its new 2015 F-150, will Chrysler be using this weight-saving material for the next round of its fullsize truck, as well?
"I think there is room for a Ram 1000," Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne (pictured above) told members of the media, saying this is a conversation the automaker has been having internally for several years now. "We've tried this ... we've actually taken it to clinics," Marchionne stated, adding that the "response has been lukewarm."
"I have better use of aluminum in this house than a pickup truck." - Sergio Marchionne

Jeep Liberty replacement takes shape

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

Now that the Liberty has left us for greener pastures, it's time to start looking into the future of the midsize Jeep model. The next all-new vehicle for the off-road brand will be the SUV you see here, effectively replacing the Liberty, and not necessarily carrying on with that name.
From the sides, the prototype you see here sort of looks like a miniature version of the handsome Grand Cherokee, albeit with a bit more in the way of body sculpting. Up front, the seven-slat grille will be front and center, with completely revised headlamp designs that are reportedly angular and sweep well into the front fenders (you can sort of see what we're talking about in the side profile). That doesn't sound very Jeep-like, but we'll reserve judgment until we, you know, see the thing.
The bigger question with the Liberty replacement will be whether or not its off-road chops will be up to snuff. After all, the two previous generations of Liberty models were body-on-frame traditional SUVs, whereas this new Jeep rides on a larger version of the Dodge Dart platform.
