Introducing the American
legend with the 21st century drivability.
This is not your average jeep. It is a custom build by a Master Craftsman. This
Jeep was built to be the baddest Jeep on the planet by combining race track
performance with superior off road capability. Build was completed in 2010 and
Jeep was a "trailer queen" show jeep for the past four years. Only
1850 miles on this engine since the build. This Jeep started out as an 88 wrangler renegade. It's grill and headlights have been converted to a CJ. The suspension was converted from leaf to coil over (JK).

was built for the race team owner Glenn Clements. (Owner NASCAR 51) Jeremy
Clements Nationwide series. I looked at several hemi jeeps before purchasing
this one and they can't hold a candle to the on/off road performance of this
Jeep.
This motor was incredibly expensive coming from a master builder. Check them
out. I can't add to their reputation. Compared to cost of jeep, motor became
minor
The cost of the motor build became relevant to the cost of labor for the year
to complete the build
I wiped off all leaf springs and converted to full coil spring suspension to JK
Rubicon specs, to build and produce and obtain incredible drive ability, and I
must say it is fun and safe at any speed
All metal is original metal, no aftermarket metal at all!
Specs heckler paint system on jeep, chrome orange to electric pearl red, to
black cherry with a silver allusion on base coat.
Painted frame, cleaned interior of frame with long wand and steam jenny, then
sand blasted. All frame was submerged in P.O.R. primer, followed by 8 coats of
Imron train paint.
Look at most Chevy powered jeeps and you will see a common automatic
transmission (very easy)
Or NV 4500 popular with rock crawlers, it has a granny gear, or the AMC 4 speed
uses a 3/4 " dia, but if you drop the clutch with more than 250 ish
horsepower it snaps the main. In the Chevy the old Muncie was good up to about
380 h.p. but good shifting. In this build a super T-10 by Richmond it's a real
street or strip choice, but it's not for 4 wd it's a long trans, but I bought a
new standard super T-10 and had my contact swap the tail section for an atlas
clock ring and ordered a 100% billet steel CNC main that's 1 1/4 " in dia.
Rated at 1250 lb. of tork, and is less than 1/2 as long as the stock,
&merging into an atlas transfer case also 1250 lb. of tork rating, 1350 U
joint's, (dooly size)
A 2.77 1st 2.20 2nd 1.50 3rd1 to 1, 4th quick shift kit. A racing 4 speed and 4
WD. I have never seen another one.
We give you a list of 80% of cool name brands, briefly discussed drive train,
paint, suspension, but the real value was in the master craftsman of build. It
takes a very grounded expert with vast knowledge and experience in the area of
Hot Rod's, Classic's, Collectables, understanding the quality on eccentric
levels to recognize a master piece by another master craftsman.
There are so many things and so much to list; I can't possibly list it all.
The build of this jeep exceeded $120,000

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota. To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively. The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
The Jeep Wrangler's future in Toledo, OH, is officially secure. FCA US announced plans on Thursday to spend $1.05 billion to retool the Wrangler factory and another site in Illinois to build Jeeps. The investment could add up to 1,000 jobs, and, according to The Detroit Free Press, allow Jeep to build as many as 450,000 Wrangler models in Toledo. FCA is investing $700 million to make over the Toledo North factory to build the next-generation Wrangler – a vehicle that's hotly anticipated by enthusiasts. FCA said this will add about 700 new jobs. The Wrangler factory is part of a multi-site complex in Ohio, and FCA said an announcement about the South factory will come later. Nearly two years ago, FCA chief executive Sergio Marchionne touched off a firestorm by suggesting the Wrangler could leave Toledo, though plans to keep the iconic Jeep there quickly proceeded. Automotive News reports the new Wrangler will use some aluminum elements, run a turbo four-cylinder engine, and offer a diesel variant. Designers will also pay increased attention to aerodynamics, though maintain the Wrangler's familiar appearance. Additionally, FCA reportedly plans to build a Wrangler pickup in Toledo. That 450,000-vehicle threshold could potentially break down into 350,000 traditional Wrangler models, along with another 100,000 Wrangler-based pickup trucks. When the current Toledo plant was opened in 2005, Chrysler said its capacity was about 150,000 vehicles per year. Since then, that figure has increased to about 240,000 Wranglers yearly, and Jeep has no problem selling that many. FCA's factory in Belvidere, IL, gets $350 million for upgrades to produce the Jeep Cherokee, which moves there in 2017 from Toledo as part of a product shuffle. FCA builds the Dodge Dart and Jeep's Patriot and Compass in Belvidere. The automaker is killing the Dart and will replace the compact Jeeps with a single model next year. The moves are part of FCA's strategy to fortify the Jeep brand, which has posted healthy sales and enjoys a strong reputation around the world. Related Video:
The joint development of the new Jeep Renegade and Fiat 500X goes to show what the combined efforts of the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles group can yield. But don't expect the Italian-American automaker to stop there. According to Autocar, the company is planning to base another pair of larger SUVs on the same platform. The Jeep version would take the place of the previous Compass and Patriot, slotting in between the Renegade and Cherokee. Meanwhile, the Fiat version would further bolster the Cinquecento lineup to sit alongside the 500 hatchback, 500L minivan and 500X crossover. Details remain few and far between at the moment, but they wouldn't be the extent of the growth plans for either brand. Jeep is reportedly zeroing in on a decision on the long-rumored sub-Renegade model, while also preparing to expand up-market with the return of the Grand Wagoneer. Fiat is reportedly abandoning the prospect of offering a full model line as it once did. While the 500 range will continue to form a vital part of the brand's business, it's also tipped to be going after the no-frills, bare-bones market dominated by Renault's Dacia brand. To that end, it would seek to build upon the Panda by offering a larger, but still low-cost hatchback to rival the Ford Focus and VW Golf, and succeed the discontinued Fiat Bravo, but based on the 500L's platform and built in Turkey to keep costs down. This second pillar of the Fiat brand wouldn't likely be offered in the US, however, where we'd expect the 500 line to continue representing the Italian automaker. Related Video:
