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: Portraits

Mon, Feb 8 2016

Jeep looks back on 75 years of four-wheeling. The brand's tough vehicles have carried everything from soldiers to sunbathers. The brand wants you to remember all the highlights, from the beaches of Normandy to the fictional Jurassic Park – one a remarkable accomplishment of human determination in the face of war, the other a really successful movie. Do you think Jeep's spot captures the essence of the brand? Vote it up or down. Marketing/Advertising Jeep Super Bowl Commercials 2016 super bowl ad

2014 Jeep Cherokee: Introduction

Tue, 27 May 2014

When we look back at some of the more shocking product launches of recent yeras, the Jeep Cherokee is certainly high up on the list. And we aren't just talking about its off-the-wall, polarizing design.
For starters, it brought back the iconic Cherokee nameplate - something Jeep enthusiasts have coveted for ages. But beyond that, it brought a new evolution for the Jeep brand. After all, the Cherokee is car-based - using the same compact platform that underpins the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200. It has a greater focus on technology and refinement than ever before, in an effort to appeal to a new crop of Jeep customers. And powering it all is a new (optional) V6 engine paired with an equally new nine-speed automatic transmission.
Can the Cherokee's car-based roots still allow for a vehicle that's superb when the going gets tough? Will its design still be a love/hate affair in one year's time, or will it start to blend in? Is the powertrain strong enough to not only support the needs of daily driving and road trips, but blaze a few trails as well? We're aiming to answer all these questions, and more, over the next 12 months. Welcome to the Autoblog long-term garage, Cherokee.

Jeep Renegade gets new duds courtesy of Mopar

Tue, Jan 13 2015

In a uncommon move, Jeep has found itself with customized versions of a car we've become quite familiar seeing on auto show floors well before it's actual on-sale date. But that's okay – we're pretty fond of the little Renegade, and we're even more keen to get behind the wheel, something that's scheduled to take place in just a few weeks. The two Renegade models you see here have been blessed with bits and pieces from the Mopar parts catalog. These Jeep Performance Parts and Authentic Accessories will be made available to buyers of the Renegade who want to add some factory-backed custom flair to their rough-and-tumble baby crossovers, whether they plan to stay on the asphalt or head off the beaten path. Starting on the street, the Urban Jeep Renegade doesn't really have any major modifications, its factory-spec bike carrier, mirror caps, grille rings, taillamp surrounds and roof rails in Omaha Orange paint over an Anvil-color base serving more to make it stand out from the crowd than actually offer any additional capability. The interior of the Urban Renegade also gets Omaha Orange highlights to go along with Katzkin leather seats. On the dirtier side of the crossover equation, the Commando Green off-road Mopar-modded Renegade gets concept skid plate, prototype rock rails, rear valance and production roof rails provide some added protection and carrying capabilities. X-shaped graphics mimic the jerry can-style motif of the Renegade's tail lamps. Inside, Commando Green bits again join Katzkin leather. Take a good look at all the images above, and feel free to read more about the Mopar-spec Jeep Renegade models below.
