This is a project vehicle built within the pages of Jp Magazine. Google Project Ground Up. *The Warn 8274-50 winch pictured on the cover and two Jp Magazine images is no longer on the vehicle. I can order you one if you have to have one. They cost me about $2,000 and I will add that to the price.* The Jeep is titled (with a clear title) in Arizona as a '56 CJ-5 but has the heart of a '98 Jeep Cherokee SE. The frame was built out of 2x4x3/16ths and 2x4x1/8th wall rectangular tube. The engine is a 2.5L multiport 4-cyl (from a '98 Cherokee)with an AX-5 manual transmission and NP231 transfercase with 4:1 TeraFlex Gears and a JB conversions Super Short SYE. Shifting of the T-case is handled by a Novak 231 shifter that offers easy positive shifting. The axles are a front high-pinion Dana 30 and a Chrysler Corporate 29-spline 8.25. Both are factory geared at 4.10 with stock Jeep axles. I also used the Cherokee master cylinder which has a booster to activate the front disc brakes and rear drums. The front axle currently has a Lock-Right locker (easy to remove) and the rear diff is open (although I have a Power lock for it). Suspension is based around custom Deaver springs based on YJ leafs with front shackle reversal and Fox shocks. It flexes well and rides pretty good at speed in washes and bumps (for a leaf sprung solid axle vehicle). The rollcage is built of 1 3/4 0.120 wall DOM. with 1-inch.095 wall tubing for the seat brackets. The A- and B- pillars of the rollcage are tied into the frame with the A-pillar tying into the rocker guards. The rocker guards are also built from 1 3/4 .120 wall DOM. The gas tank skid plate is made from 3/16ths plate steel and the center T-case skid is made from 3/16ths steel plate and 1 3/4 0.120 wall DOM. The seats, full soft doors, soft half doors, full soft top, and bikini top are all from Bestop. The full top has two places that need to be repaired. This could easily be handled by any number of upholstery shops. I also have a matching rear seat and seatbelts that can be installed (there is currently a Rubicon rack that is designed to hold an Engel fridge and secure the spare tire). The wiring/computer/fuse blocks of the Jeep is a paired down wiring harness from a '98 Jeep Cherokee. Radiator is a auto parts replacement radiator for a Jeep TJ wrangler (that came from the factory with this same engine/trans/T-case). Cooling is done by a Flex-a-light electric fan. The Jeep has a retro heater from Summit Racing. The exhaust is custom using stainless Magnaflow parts. The Jeep has power steering using the Saginaw box from the '98 Cherokee. The fuel tank is for an eary Jeep YJ. The tires are 33x10/50R15 BFGoodrich KM2 mud terrain tires on 15x7 Wheel Vintiques wheels. The air intake system is from AIRAID. The front driveshaft is from Tom Wood's Custom Drive Shafts. The 2.5L engine is from a '98 Cherokee as said. I just, last week, installed a new timing chain, water pump, thermostat, and thermostat housing and performed an oil change. The clutch feels good and the transmission shifts without grinding. Once the Jeep was completed (a year and a half ago) I drove it from Phoenix to the Rubicon trail, over the trail, and back with virtually no drama or problems. I got an estimated best of about 20 miles per gallon which is great for a Jeep. The Jeep was also at Easter Jeep Safari in Moab and all over Arizona. Its reliable and capable. Would be perfect to tow behind a motor home or keep at a cabin near some offroad trails. The odometer does not work, but reads 21086.2 right now. The title says 38,000. The frame has 5,000-7,000 miles on it. The engine.trans/T-case/axles have unknown mileage, but they can last to 300,000 miles and are easy to repair, upgrade and maintain. Its a Jeep. There are probably more details on the build, but this is what comes to mind right now. Please ask questions if you are a serious buyer. No warranty is implied, but I can give advice on repairs or upgrades for years to come. The only "bad" about this Jeep is it has been used, and I was a bit rushed getting the wiring harness into the body and someone with a little knowledge of automotive wiring could clean it up. I could maybe do this, but I am selling the Jeep because I dont have much time to play with it and I need to move on to other projects. The Jeep is missing two of the chrome dog dish hub caps. I'll order them and replace them. *The Warn 8274-50 winch pictured on the cover and two Jp Magazine images is no longer on the vehicle. I can order you one if you have to have one. They cost me about $2,000 and I will add that to the price.* I also reserve the right to cancel this auction any time if the Jeep sells locally. Thanks.

Excavator in China bashes BMW and Jeep out of the way
Tue, Jun 2 2015This Chinese construction site apparently has a zero tolerance policy towards obstacles getting in the way of work. When blocked by a Jeep and a BMW, the operator of this excavator pushes the two vehicles out of the way like they're toys. The Bimmer gets the brunt of the abuse, with the sedan getting lodged up against a fence. The exact context of this clip isn't entirely known, but The Mirror in Britain speculates the vehicles are illegally parked. But that doesn't explain why the excavator crashes through a gate later in the video. Also, this doesn't appear to be the case of a rogue operator taking out some frustrations, because a man with a walkie-talkie is leading the way and seemingly directing the destruction. Nonetheless, getting permission to knock these cars around was probably the highlight of this driver's day. News Source: The Mirror, AOL On BMW Jeep Crossover Videos Sedan

How to tune a car right: Part 3, tuning Mopar with OST Dyno
Sun, Jan 23 2022Not long ago, I wrote a story about a pony car tuned with a supercharger. The blower install had been done properly. Then the car's owner bolted on a set of great looking wheels wrapped in good looking but inexpensive rubber. On my first test drive, I couldn't get any of that supercharged sweetness to the ground. It was the perfect ride for parking in a Burger King parking lot on a Friday night. I tooled around on a Sunday drive, shaking my head that someone had spent five figures to get more power the right way, with a clean install, then wiped out the gains so thoroughly that the stock engine would likely have overwhelmed the tires. This got me thinking about the ways people ruin their quest for horsepower, either on the front end by not insisting on a clean install and paying the money for it, or on the back end with supplemental purchases like cheap tires or cheap gas. So I called three tuners, one focused on GM, one on Mopar, one on Ford, to find out what people should know about how to get the best power for their goals, and how to make sure they are able to use all that power. The first interview in this three-part series was with Blake Leonard at Top Speed Cincy in Cincinnati, Ohio, the second with Brandon Alsept at BA Motorsports in Milford, Ohio. This third and last interview is with Micah Doban at OST Dyno in Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania, a family business with more than 40 years of Mopar expertise specializing in Gen III Hemis, but tuning everything from land-speed cars and drag racers to Jeeps The interview has been edited for clarity and concision. Do people who come to OST generally know what they want? Probably 80% of the people who come in simply want more power with no particular ET goal [ET is a kind of bracket handicapped drag racing – ed.]. WhatÂ’s the best way to start a Mopar tune? The first thing is what people often skip, and that's to find a tuner or a shop. People will throw parts on their cars that the Internet said to, then go to a tuner who does things a different way, and [the tuner is] like ‘No we don't like to use these injectors, we don't like these parts.Â’ You have to find someone familiar with the parts that are on your car or that you're planning to put on your car. So having a goal and then finding a tuner who can help you with that goal is proper way to start. Exactly. And a lot of tuners have their own formula – and when I say tuner I mean someone that also does work to the cars.
