Custom Built Comp Cut 2003 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon on 2040-cars
Somerset, Kentucky, United States
Description: This Jeep is a clean, low mileage, vehicle that was modified to be very capable on the trail but still remain comfortable on the street. It is a custom comp cut jeep. An alignment was just performed when the tires/wheels were added about 500 miles ago. This is very smooth driving jeep. No vibrations or pulls that most lifted and modified vehicles have. It drives very smooth at 70 mph on the highway. At the same time this Jeep can get after it on the trail, so if you're looking for a vehicle that's good for either application this may be a good fit. It has been stretched in the rear with a triangulated 4 link setup that's mounted to a trussed D44 (specs itemized below). The body, body armor, and tube fenders have all been cleaned up to fix some dents, dings, and scrapes from 4-wheeling at some point in the past. Take a look at the pictures for little blemishes. The front and rear differentials were recently serviced. The rear drive shaft CV joint was refurbished by a local drive shaft shop after one of the techs noticed some play. I've done my best to list out the modifications below but I know I have not captured them all. As you can see there has been a lot of time and money put into this Jeep build. It is for sale locally so I may take down the ad at any time. I have an after market fifth wheel bumper and tire carrier that I will include in the auction. Vehicle Specifications:

Maserati Levante crossover not Jeep based after all?
Thu, 20 Feb 2014Maserati has been teasing its crossover project since 2011, which is when it first showed off the Kubang concept (pictured above). Still, the production version, rumored to be called the Levante, remains a complete mystery. The CUV was first rumored to borrow the platform from the Jeep Grand Cherokee, but new rumors indicate that the Italian, luxury crossover might actually take the underpinnings from the Quattroporte and Ghibli.
In a brief interview, Maserati CEO Harald Wester told CNN Money that the Levante wouldn't use Jeep's platform. Motor Trend spoke with an unnamed Maserati engineer who confirmed the rumor. Officially, the company says that no decision has been made.
We can add this to another long list of rumors about the Italian CUV. It was originally supposed to be built at Chrysler's Jefferson North assembly plant in Detroit. Then, plans were changed to build it in Italy.
Jeep Cherokee won't get diesel until sales of oil-burning Grand Cherokee improve
Tue, 01 Jul 2014Okay Jeep fans, you want more diesel options? Time to step up and prove it. The only way Jeep will offer a diesel powerplant in the Cherokee, according to brand head Mike Manley, is if sales of the Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel nearly double.
Currently, about eight percent of the Grand Cherokees sold feature the 3.0-liter, EcoDiesel V6. That's simply not enough to warrant the bringing an oil-burning Cherokee to the US market, despite the vehicle's presence in Europe, where it's sold with a 2.8-liter diesel V6.
"Cherokee is slightly different because of its weight and size. When I think about bringing Cherokee diesel here, I would like to see Grand Cherokee diesel get much higher than eight percent," Manley told Automotive News. "It would have to be in mid-double digits."
2013 AEV Brute Double Cab
Fri, 11 Jan 2013These are the guys who bring an M777 howitzer to a knife fight. In terms of overall rugged utility, the all-new 2013 Brute Double Cab from American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) is about as overkill as they come, and we can't seem to get enough of the beasts that this company produces. Unlike most aftermarket firms, always striving to lower cost and increase volume (but at the expense of quality), Michigan-based AEV takes pride in its OEM-quality design, engineering, manufacturing and testing. Everything is as good, or better, than the stuff from the factory, and they have been doing it this way for more than 15 years.
Launched at the recent 2012 SEMA show was the 2013 AEV Brute Double Cab. Its debut marked the company's expansion to a four-door Brute on the newer JK platform (drawing inspiration from the Land Rover Defender 130). I recently spent a few hours with the new truck in sunny Southern California, though unfortunately, due to time constraints, I was limited to pavement-only driving impressions.
