This is a 1999 Jeep Wrangler with a fuel injected 5.3 liter v8 from a 1999 Chevy Silverado. The engine's wiring harness and computer were sent off to Novak Conversions and were professionally converted and labeled. The engine had 100000 miles on it and the jeep had a 102,000. The conversion only has less then 500 miles on it. The transmission(AX15) was from a company that cracks open trannys, cleans, inspects, and paints them. The trans in it was 1000. The engine was 900. The conversion bell housing was 450. The clutch was 350. I got Novak Conversions motor mounts and bushings which was 190. The transfer case is original, it was originally mated to the AX5 transmission that is now gone. I changed the input shaft to match the new AX15 transmission. It shifts great with the Redline MT-90 oil thats in it. The t-case was clean as a whistle when i opened it. The pick up had no debris of any kind. No metal filings. The rear was rebuilt with new bearings and spider gears.The gearing is 3:73 in the rear and the front needs to be changed to match. The driveshaft is off as of now. The floor is rhino lined and shows its wear but its great stuff. I have 4 BRAND new red letter General Grabber AT2 tires to go with it. They've never been installed I bought them yesterday. The tires on right now have 50% tread they're 33's Mud radials. I was in the middle of chamging the interior to camel tan which is why it looks weird. Ive been buying camel tan pieces and i also have the correct code vinyl paint can for camel tan which is still full. The rear tire carrier and bumper is brand new and installed last month. I have brand new never installed black 5in KCs that were to go with my brand new never installed windshield mounts. I bought both last month, still in their box to go with the jeep. The jeep needs to be programmed for the cold air intake and headers. It runs lean and makes quiet lean pops at idle. The exhaust is hot, another symptom of leanness. At cold start it runs perfect until it warms up and goes into open loop phase. because I was unaware of the effects of CAI and headers on the fuel mixture before I got my computer programmed. The engine has a brand new alternator, MAF, TPS, ECT, IAC, Spark Plugs, Radiator, rear lights, Water Pump, both O2 sensors, High Flow Catalytic Converter, fuel filter, Plug Wires, there's so much new. The Speedo, and Tach don't work cause they're unable to adapt to the signals being sent. All the other gauges work and so does the check engine light. This thing has a lot of power even running lean. I'm leaving for Boot Camp for the coast guard very soon so its priced to sell. Ive spent about 7K on it. But I'm not trying to make money on a car that still needs work. I built this with every penny i had. I took no cheap short cuts. I wanted fuel injection and was willing to spend the extra 1000 to get it. I've done all the hard stuff. The top isn't bad, no holes or bad rips. Also has a brand new steering box put in 2 months ago. but jeep needs alignment really badly. The windows are new. Call or text 7577107108.

Jeep Renegade's development a template for new Fiat Chrysler Auto
Wed, 24 Sep 2014

2013 Jeep Wrangler Moab Edition
Wed, 11 Dec 2013There will forever be a soft spot in my heart for the Jeep Wrangler. The last one I owned was red, and, as a 1990 model, had the square headlights derided by Jeep enthusiasts who grew up on the Civilian Jeeps that descended from their General Purpose military ancestors. As a teenager, I couldn't have cared less what shape its headlights happened to be - to me, a Jeep Wrangler represented freedom; a carefree do-it-all machine equally at home with the top stowed away in the summer or with the heater on full blast in the snowy clutches of Old Man Winter. In Dr. Seuss parlance, my square-headlighted Sneetch was just as worthy as any round-headlighted Sneetch.
All that said, I'll be the first person to advise against buying a Jeep Wrangler of any sort for owners who don't plan to use it as its makers intend. There's no good reason to punish yourself with a stiff and springy ride, a loud and somewhat drafty (though generally water-resistant) interior or the poor fuel economy expected of a block-shaped vehicle if you don't enjoy its other, more exciting benefits.
Of course, Jeep has done its darndest over the years to make the Wrangler as civilized as possible while keeping it as capable as federal law will allow. The 2013 Jeep Wrangler Moab edition is one of Jeep's latest attempts to attract attention from the upper reaches of the active lifestyle set, and I spent a week with one to see what makes the Moab special.
25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango SUVs recalled over brake feel
Mon, 10 Mar 2014Chrysler has announced that it is recalling over 25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from several markets over concerns about brake feel under hard braking. The affected models are from the 2012 and 2013 model years, although the actual dates of production aren't available. 18,700 are in the US, while 825 are in Canada, 530 are in Mexico and a further 5,200 outside of North America.
According to a statement, Chrysler was informed of the issue by a component supplier for the Ready Alert Braking system, which primes the brakes in anticipation of an emergency stop. A component in the system was restricting the flow of brake fluid too much.
As Chrysler is quick to point out, the way the brakes functioned was in compliance with regulations and there are no reported cases of drivers losing braking power. Instead, the issue rests with what Chrysler calls a pedal feel that "was not consistent with customer expectations." So it would seem Chrysler is being proactive and fixing a problem not because there's a legal issue at work, but simply because it doesn't feel the way the manufacturer wants it to. Well done.
