 This is a Jeep Wrangler that My wife and I started to build and just don't have the time to finish.  There are over 5100.00 in costs for parts not including labor.  The Lime Green Sem Tintable bed liner is the durable finish to resist scratches in the mountains.  We installed Basher bumpers so hitting animals wouldn't cause major damage.  The top is a New Best Top soft top with soft doors with tinted windows.  There are new seats OEM Style and New OEM Style risers.  The back seat is new as well.  The Transmission is Automatic but the detent downshift actuator rod is missing and therefore it has to rpm shift.  This is hard on the engine and transmission.  There is a new odometer/speedometer installed but it needs an adapter to properly fit into the transmission in order to function.  The tires and wheels are new, they are Dick Cepeck Wheels with  31/1050 R15 Starfire All terrain tires.  We also installed a B&M Rachet shifter and New Stainless steel hardware on all outside hinges and windshield mounts.  We had a brand new exhaust system installed and New lenses for the rear lights.  We installed a new Transmission Cooler and a 3" Body Lift  as well as a new tub liner with road noise barrier insulation.  We were going all out on this jeep and it was going to be our toy, but plans change and time marches on.  I would recommend changing out the drive train to a GM or Ford setup for a couple very good reasons.  The first is fuel economy, this jeep only gets 12 to 14 mpg and the other reason is it would give better overall performance and more available parts.  This is a sharp looking jeep and you could drop your own drivetrain in and drive it to graduation.  We drove it some and it is a real attention getter, folks would often yell Nice Jeep!  Hopefully someone out there has a drive train to drop into this baby so it can be enjoyed.  Thank you for looking in on our Jeep for sale.  Dave and Shannon D&S Country Designs

Jeep Wrangler Willys Wheeler wants mountains, not a stage

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

We've said it before and we'll say it again - while we usually grow tired of the endless barrage of special edition vehicles, that isn't the case with the Jeep Wrangler. Every unique model we encounter seems cooler than the one before it, and this Willys Wheeler Edition is no exception.
The Willys Wheeler package is sort of a throwback to early Jeep CJ models, and wears "Willys" stickers on the hood. There's also a gloss black grille, rock rails to protect the side sills, and unique 17-inch black wheels wrapped in meaty BF Goodrich KM Mud Terrain tires. For proper off-road prowess, this special edition uses a Dana 44 rear axle with a limited-slip differential and a 3.73 final drive ratio.
Look for the Willys edition to hit dealerships early next year, starting at $25,795 for the two-door version and $29,595 for the four-door. Feel free to read all about it in the press release below.

Chrysler recalling 31k SUVs and vans

Fri, 06 Jun 2014

Chrysler is issuing recalls covering roughly 31,700 vehicles worldwide due to two separate problems. In both cases the company believes that most of the affected vehicles are either still on, or in transit to, dealer lots.
One recall covers roughly 10,700 Dodge Durango, Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee SRT models from the 2014 model year built between January 16 and April 17, 2014. The SUVs need a software update for the cruise control. It's possible that when the cruise is on and the driver presses on the throttle, the acceleration could last a second after the pedal is released or two seconds for the SRT. Afterward, they return to the speed originally set by the driver.
Chrysler says it isn't aware of any accidents, injuries or even reported incidents of this happening in the real world. Also, in all cases, if the driver presses on the brake, the cruise shuts off. The automaker believes that there are about 6,100 affected SUVs in the US, 950 in Canada, 425 in Mexico and 3,200 outside of North America. The software upgrade will be ready shortly, the company says.

Going high-tech, the 4x4 way

Is It An Off-Road Adventure Or Just A Walk In The Park?
I remember having to get out and lock hubs and shift into neutral to engage low range.
Coming off press previews of the 2013 Land Rover Range Rover and the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee that involved some heavy-duty off-road rock climbing, I'm simply amazed at the capabilities that these vehicles possess. But even more impressive (or troubling depending on your perspective) is the relative ease with which you can operate these vehicles in seemingly impossible terrain.
