Sadly it is time for me to sell this jeep. This jeep has under gone a complete transformation from a bone stock wrangler to a completely different vehicle. There has been so many upgrades to this machine I will try to remember most of them but sure I will miss some as I estimate to have about $30,000 worth of just parts and material into this.

The frame:
The frame has been completely gone over, started with cutting off all the original factory mounts and stretching the wheel base both in the rear and front about 6" each. The front stretch was done the right way with removing the factory coil buckets and moving those forward on the frame instead of just the axle. This puts more weight to the rear of the vehicle where it is needed and also allows the front axle to clear the front of the engine under full axle compression. The steering has also been upgraded to use a new steering box for the newer wranglers which helps the vehicle track better. The rear axle was moved back and converted to fit the outboard shocks which helps with road manners. It rides on New, old man emu springs with 4" of lift. After all welding grinding and cutting was done the frame was re-sand blasted and then the entire frame was hot dipped galvanized in a bath of 850 degree molten zinc. This coated the entire frame inside AND out. It was dipped twice and then quenched in chromium. Basically this frame will never rust. Also the crappy stamped rear frame member was replaced with 1/4 box steel and Custom bumper with hitch and back up lights and D ring Clevis was added also 1/4 steel and hot dipped galvanized.

Suspension:
As mentioned all new high quality shocks on all 4 corners, and springs. It has a TNT customs long arm lift on it again with front and rear stretch. ($5,000 alone). All parts are extremely heavy duty rebuildable, greaseable, and powder coated. It has a bomb proof skid plate as well. This kit is top of the line and required extensive cutting and welding to upgrade to this new suspension which rides great for what it is. All welding was done by a certified nuclear reactor welder. Also has jks quick sway bar disconnects in front.

The body:
the original body was scrapped and a newer rust free 02 body was put in place. The body was stripped and the underside was professionally sand blasted and then coated upside down with por-15 so it will never rust. Then the entire tub was rhino lined inside and out with the DuPont Kevlar liner. The good stuff that about $100 a gallon. Then the underside of the tub was covered nearly everywhere with sound deadining mat. Because of this the jeep is relatively quiet even without carpet inside. Every bolt was cleaned and coated with never seize so stuck bolts won't be a issue down the road. The front hood was customized to open like a big rig. The whole front end flips forward and makes working under the hood a breeze.

Interior:
The jeep was driven without carpet for a while but recently put in some black carpet for the winter and looks good. The dash has been updated to the 03+ era with the rotary controls and AC. Also a set of iss-pro ev2 gauges monitor critical vehicle information. During transformation the entire hvac system was also updated to the newer more efficient 03+ system. It was also gone over and has a new ac evaporator core, fan, heater core etc. the seats, dash and everything is all 02+

Drivetrain:
Oh yes the real deal, the jeep is moved by a 4 cylinder 4bt cummins diesel that was rebuilt by cummins approximately 20k miles ago. The engine fires right up every time and runs strong and true. It still has the stock turbo on it which makes about 25 psi of boost. About a month ago the fuel was finally turned up from the stock setting it has been at since new. These adjustments definitely woke it up but I'm sure there is a lot more power to unlock in this motor.
Doesn't use any oil and coolant is always clean. Custom extremely heavy duty motor mounts made from 1/2 steel gusseted everywhere and mounted mid motor to distribute the weight evenly. They are also galvanized.

The transmission is a completely rebuilt automatic 700r4 k case (truck version) the tranny was completely gone through and beefed up everywhere it could. It took some tuning but it now works great behind the diesel and is very strong.
The shifter has been swapped out to a custom fitted b&m shifter and looks and works great.
Transfer case was also rebuilt and a slip yoke eliminator kit was installed to accept the new tom woods drive shaft which connects to the stout ford 8.8 rear axle with disc brakes. The rear axle was recently regeared to a ford racing 4:10 and all new bearings and seals were installed. There is the TNT customs axle truss welded to it with all new spring mounts etc. basically a very strong axle and all new.

Fuel economy:
I currently daily drive this jeep down to Pittsburg daily and average about 25 yes 25 mpg and that's with a lot of stop and go driving. I would guess highway mpg is over 30mpg cause the motor is hardly working. The jeep goes 65 mph comfortably and will easily do 70+ With no death wobble and lots of power left.

Wheels:
The jeep is rolling on new Mickey Thompson mtz's 33's with new moto metal 17" rims.

So why am I selling this awesome vehicle? Simply it's not a great kid hauler. Ive been doing it for about a year now but the kid keeps growing and there's probably more in the future. I know I will kick myself eventually for doing this but it's a necessary evil.

Oh there is also dual batteries with a selector switch in the cab for battery 1 or 2 or both. This way you can run radios or lights or whatever without fear of running the battery to low to start. Or you can turn it to off for a good security system.

The jeep is completely emp bomb (electro magnetic pulse) and taser proof. So basically no electronic failure will shut this jeep down. It's completely mechanical.

I'm sure there is more but I'm tired of typing. Any questions just ask.

Title is clean and will say a 97 with 180k miles or so, even tho nothing is left on this jeep with those miles on it. Approximately 12,000 miles since project completion.

Vehicle is also listed locally so i reserve the right to end the auction early.

The 2023 New York Auto Show was a rather lively show full of North American vehicle debuts and a lot of new metal we’ve never seen before. As always, we were on the ground covering it from every angle for you, including photographing all the reveals on the show floor. There were a ton of new EVs shown and even a stunning concept with the Genesis GV80 Coupe Concept. YouÂ’ll be able to see them all, from the production Ram REV to the little (but now much bigger) Kona, in the numerous galleries below.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee pricing leaks out

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

With our deep dive and auto show coverage of the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee revealed at the Detroit Auto Show, we brought you as much information as Chrysler would allow us to, but one thing we're still left in the dark about was the pricing. It would seem that Jeep Garage might have the answer for that. The Jeep enthusiast forum claims to have gotten its hands on the ordering and pricing breakdown for the updated Grand Cherokee, and while a Jeep representative has yet to get back to us as to the validity of the site's claim, these preliminary numbers look pretty kosher to us.
In base form, the two-wheel-drive Laredo will reportedly start at $28,795, which is a $1,100 increase over the 2013 model year, and the new Grand Cherokee Summit trim level starts at $47,995 for 4x2 models and $50,995 for the 4x4. Waiting for the new diesel engine? The torquey new 3.0-liter oil-burner will be a $4,500 option on Limited, Overland and Summit 4x4 models, but 4x2 pricing (and availability) are not known. As for the range-topping Grand Cherokee SRT (no longer called the SRT8), this added performance could run you an extra $2,700 with a new starting price of $62,995. More importantly, loaded to the gills with all available options, the 2014 Grand Cherokee SRT will top out at around $72,400 - or around $6,000 more than a fully loaded 2013 GC SRT8.
We'll let you know if the gang over at Jeep get back to us with any confirmation, but until then, head over to Jeep Garage to see the pricing details it has listed.

2014 Jeep Cherokee marketing launches with 'Built Free' commercial

Mon, 28 Oct 2013

Now that the 2014 Cherokee is finally on its way to dealerships, Jeep is starting its marketing blitz for its new crossover, beginning with this 60-second TV spot, called Built Free, that premieres today. Set to a Bob Dylan recording, the ad spot discusses something we can all relate to - the feeling of being too busy and too cooped up with everyday tasks to really get out there and explore the world. But as Jeep says in the commercial, "You're still here. And you're still you. The horizons haven't gone anywhere."
Autoblog spoke to Kim Adams-House, head of marketing for the Jeep brand, who explained that this Built Free spot is "an anthemic piece" that "sparks the conversation" for the new Cherokee. As you'll notice, none of the new Jeep's features - its off-road systems, nine-speed automatic transmission, etc. - are mentioned in the ad, but Adams-House says that future marketing "will speak to more" of the CUV's highlights. Following this 60-second spot, 30-second commercials will launch that talk about some of the specific product features.
When asked if the Built Free campaign will include any throwbacks to the original Cherokee, Adams-House told Autoblog that while "we love that vehicle," the new spots are intended to carve out "a unique space for Cherokee in our product portfolio and marketplace." On that same note, don't expect any other Jeep vehicles to get the Built Free treatment. Adams-House said that while this ad "does resonate overall with the brand," it is solely intended to promote the new Cherokee.
