I am selling this jeep because I am in the military and moving. I have put a lot of effort and money into it. I am not trying to rip any one off and will answer any of your questions honestly. I have tried to identify any issues that I know about and discuss them below.

Good luck bidding! Thank you

BODY-

I recently repainted the body in flat olive drab; I liked this color as it gives the Jeep a very expedition/ military look. The paint job is very utilitarian and looks fine from about 10 feet away but there are small drilled holes, dings, and roughly finished bondo work that is apparent close up. The left fender has some damage (see picture) and the right fender has been replaced. There is bondo on the body which appeared sound so I left it. There is some rot on the passenger side under the body supports and on the driver’s side. It is a small amount and has been covered with POR15 rust preventative. The seats have been professionally recovered with a nice weather resistant material in a saddle brown color.

ENGINE/TRANS-

The 4 cylinder engine runs very good, it is being driven but does not have the road speed I thought it would (45-50 MPH).

It has a new high torque starter, new battery cables, new high output alternator, new valve cover gasket, new electronic distributor, new carburetor, new Humvee throttle cable, new upper and lower hoses, new radiator cap and radiator, new water pump and new engine temp sensor. There is also a new fuel tank complete, new fuel filter and new sending unit and new fuel pump. It also has a new transmission which is a 3 speed and shifts fine with no obvious synchro or clutch problems. It also has a new transfer case. There is a new exhaust system that has not been put on yet. Both the front and rear differentials have been rebuilt with new wheel bears, new brake system, new parking brake and new clutch. It also has a new brake master cylinder. The jeep has 5 new tires. The front has new lockouts for the 4 wheel drive. All new front steering components to include new bell crank. Steering is very tight. New shocks. The engine does not smoke.

ELECTRICAL -

The jeep has a new wiring harness. The new headlights, new taillights, new brake lights and new turn signals, all work. The jeep also has a new speedo assembly but odometer does not work. The new gauge cluster has been wired, but the fuel and the engine temp gauge do not work. I think I have not wired it correctly and there is a ground issue.

FRAME

The frame is solid with no rot or repairs.

THINGS THE JEEP NEEDS or IS WRONG WITH THE JEEP:

Rear differential developed a leak at the seal where the drive shaft meets the rear differential. It has a new seal so not for sure what is going on with it. The leak is a drip.
The rear main seal on the engine leaks. It didn’t leak until I replaced the seal when the transmission was being replaced. It is not a big leak but it still leaks some. I used Lucas stop leak and it seemed to help it and it has mostly stopped. I can’t say if the engine uses any oil from running because of the leak.
Temp and Gas Gauge do not work. All new components but I can’t seem to get it grounded correctly.
Jeep has no functioning windshield wipers. The vacuum wiper motor needs to be rebuilt I was going to do it but didn’t get around to it.
The old muffler system has a leak in it. I have the new muffler system that is correct for the year and model but didn’t get around to replacing it.
The horn button worked too well and it would honk all the time! I had to isolate the metal contact on the new horn button to get it to stop. It would go off while turning corners which gave me more attention than I wanted! The jeep has a new steering wheel and horn system but I think it would be best to convert to a horn button on the steering wheel column instead. Yes, I didn’t get around to changing it.
The brakes on this jeep are drum brakes which are not as effective as modern disc brakes so it takes a little more time to stop the jeep. Please be aware of this.

The jeep is very clean and you won’t have to clean it up. It will have a full tank of gas in it also. All in all a very solid Jeep for the year but it is over 50 years old. It does not drive like a modern jeep. It drives like a cross between an ATV and tractor! It is fun to drive but don’t expect a modern smooth ride. The jeep is sold as is with no warranty. Please ask any questions you may have before bidding I am not trying to rip anyone off. This vehicle is for sale locally and I reserve the right to pull off Ebay before bidding ends.

Here's what it'll take to build a Jeep Grand Cherokee Hellcat

Fri, Jun 19 2015

Let's get one thing straight: We want a 707-horsepower Grand Cherokee Hellcat to happen. Badly. The latest report from Motor Authority is encouraging; the bonkers SUV supposedly has a codename, Project K, and has been given the green light for production. Fingers crossed. You might be wondering why the Trackhawk isn't already a thing. Hellcat engines exist, SRT Grand Cherokees exist, so just combine the two, right? It's not quite that easy. Here, we outline what needs to happen, why it should be the quickest Hellcat vehicle out there, and why it won't come anywhere near 200 miles per hour. How To Build A Hellcat Jeep The first engineering problem is feeding the air-intensive beast that is the 6.2-liter supercharged V8. The first engineering problem is feeding the air-intensive beast that is the 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat V8. Breathing is important on two counts: pulling in enough air for the combustion to put out 707 hp, and then cooling the various heat exchangers once the engine is up to temperature. Dodge did it with the Charger and Challenger, it can do it with the Jeep. This is one place where the Grand Cherokee's larger frontal area might be a boon, as it gives the engineers more surfaces through which to suck air. Once you generate the 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, it has to get to the wheels somehow. Jeep's current SRT all-wheel-drive system will at least need some beefing up to handle the torque. It could require a more complete re-engineering. We at least know the ZF-supplied eight-speed auto, used in the Dodge Hellcat models, is up to the task. The Hellcat engine should fit in the Grand Cherokee, as it's about the same size as the 6.4-liter currently in SRT Jeeps, but the Hellcat is taller because of its supercharger. The hood may need to be raised or at least resculpted for clearance, as well as to address those cooling needs. Quicker Than Everything, But Not Faster 200 mph? We're skeptical, from both a physics standpoint and a legal one. A reminder of the quick/fast distinction: quick is acceleration, fast is road speed. The Jeep's all-wheel drive will help put the Hellcat engine's power to the ground in a more manageable way than the Charger and Challenger do through just the rear wheels. That means better acceleration times than the Dodges (11.0 seconds in the quarter-mile for the Charger Hellcat, 11.2 for its Challenger sibling).
