OK, so it started life as a 79 CJ7... and the hood and grille are still there. The rest of the body is fiberglass. Kwik Wire wiring harness. Frame is from the same Deuce that the Rockwell axles came from. Custom 4-link front and rear with rebuildable joints - arms are 2" round bar stock, drilled and tapped. Wheelbase stretch forward 13" and rear 3" to clear the massive tires.  Custom hydraulic steering. Front and rear pinion brakes. 52" Michelins wrapped around Deuce 20" Wheels (centers cut out and flipped). Runs on LP. Chevy 350 from a 70 Impala (Milodon 8 quart oil pan) Mallory distributor backed up by SM465 Muncie 4 speed and an NP205 transfer case. Customer HD driveshafts. Custom rollcage with Toyota Supra front seats and 5-point harnesses.

Truck is 93" wide and tracks dead straight. I built it to be bulletproof and it is.

This truck is not street legal (although it does have a clear Wisconsin title). To be Wisconsin street legal, the headlights need to be lowered 12" (plow lights would do it), pinion brakes would need to be replaced with wheel brakes w/ an emergency brake, bumpers within 30" of the ground would need fabbing and a speedo would need to be added. If it doesn't sell, I will end up making those mods, just because I can and there's a few officers that would go nuts as I drove it into town.

Feel free to ask questions, but only if you are truly interested in the truck - I don't have time to help you design your truck, but if you buy mine I'll be glad to give you all the info I have.

This truck has been a labor of love, but I no longer have enough days in the year to enjoy it like I used to. It has been very good to me, but I just can't justify having it as a yard ornament 360 days per year.

Over $10,000 invested and hundreds of hours. If you have ever built something like this, axles minimum $1,200, Suspension joints and links $1,800, Tires $800, Wheels $500... Easily spend $10 just to start with. Screaming deal for a well built truck.

Jeep Grand Wagoneer could top out at $130,000

Thu, Oct 6 2016

Jeep's image presents a blue-collar, American brand that builds SUVs for Average Joe drivers, nevermind the thousands of $40,000 Wrangler Unlimited that sell every year. But a revived Grand Wagoneer could push Jeep prices into a whole new realm. Eventually. Speaking to AutoExpress, Jeep boss Mike Manley confirmed "the Grand Wagoneer concept is moving forward," and that its price could reach levels previously unheard of from the brand. "I don't think there's a maximum price ceiling per se for Jeep. If you look at the upper end of the segment in the US, for me, the Grand Wagoneer done well can compete all the way through this segment," Manley told AE. "I'll use US dollars, but pushing the car up to $130,000 to $140,000 may be possible, but we need to establish Grand Wagoneer in its own right first. That's why I wouldn't say there's price ceiling." That's about twice as much as Jeep's current most-expensive model, the $66,690 Grand Cherokee SRT. Hell, it's more than a Dodge Viper ACR, and is roughly on par with a base Maserati GranTurismo. But while getting wrapped up in the idea of a six-figure Jeep is easy, Manley's argument that his brand needs to establish the new model first is more important. It absolutely does not sound like Jeep will introduce the reborn Grand Wagoneer with a trim near $130,000. Instead, we bet the new flagship model will kick off between $50,000 and $60,000, right near the top of where the brand currently plays. That lets Jeep undercut entry level versions of the BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLS, and GMC Yukon Denali without giving brand loyalists sticker shock. After establishing the Grand Wagoneer, to use Manley's parlance, Jeep can afford to push higher and challenge the base level Range Rover, which starts around $85,000. Only after that can we expect Manley's hypothesizing to come true. So yeah, while a $130,000 Jeep sounds like a possibility, we wouldn't expect it for at least a few model years after the Grand Wagoneer's big debut. Related Video:

Jeep Renegade sales being held due to powertrain issue [UPDATE]

Wed, May 20 2015

UPDATE: An unnamed FCA US source has clarified to Automotive News that while there is a software issue, it does not concern the transmission. The Jeep Renegade appears to be facing early software problems that are similar to the ones at the introduction of the Cherokee a few years ago. The issue is keeping the brand's latest compact crossover away from dealers until the situation can be resolved. The fault reportedly deals with the software controlling the Renegade's nine-speed automatic transmission. FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne briefly talked about what was happening in an interview with Automotive News. "I'm having a very bad engineering day," he said. "It's a combination of attributes of that vehicle that is making my life horrible." The company boss predicted at the longest it could take until mid-June to fix things. Through April, Jeep has sold 5,157 Renegades, including 4,214 of them in that month alone. Autoblog reached out to an FCA US spokesperson to learn more about the software problem, but the company had no comment. Getting the software right to control the nine-speed automatic plagued development of the Cherokee. The issues delayed the model's launch in 2013, and the company was still releasing improvements for some vehicles this year.
