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.

2019 Jeep Cherokee revealed with new, more conservative look
Tue, Dec 19 2017Just as it did with the new Wrangler, Jeep is showing off images of a new product before its debut. In this case it's the 2019 Jeep Cherokee. Jeep hasn't released all the details on it, but we can see a number of exterior changes from the official images. The biggest change is one we've been expecting: the merging of the current Cherokee's split headlights into single units on each side. The result is a more conventional nose that has a closer familial resemblance to other Jeeps such as the Compass and Grand Cherokee. The rest of the front bumper and grille also look a bit softer and rounder, but there's still a hint of the wedge-y pointy look of the previous generation that helps keep the crossover immediately identifiable as a Cherokee. The other major change is at the rear. The big slab of a rear hatch is broken up now with the license plate mounting position, which makes the tail look much less bulky. Naturally the bumper was also redesigned with a faux skid plate to fill up the space left by the license plate. As for the middle of the crossover and the interior, there are no noticeable changes. Jeep hasn't revealed anything other than these images, so we'll have to wait until the full debut in January to find out about any mechanical changes. Jeep's press release does hint at more efficient powertrain options, so there could be some updates to the transmissions or engines.

Dodge revamping lineup with AWD Challenger and lighter Charger
Tue, Sep 6 2016Dodge's current lineup is aging rapidly. The Charger, for example, is going on 5 years old but its platform dates back to 2006. FCA, according to Automotive News, is working on revitalizing Dodge's lineup with the first of some new models debuting later this year. The report reveals plans for the majority of FCA's brands, but the most interesting bit of information is an all-wheel-drive model for the Dodge Challenger, which is being referred to as the GT AWD. Mopar unveiled the Challenger GT AWD Concept at SEMA last year as a concept, but it looks like the idea stuck. The vehicle is set to make its debut this fall and will lead the way for a wide-body, Hellcat-powered version that will be released in 2017. That model will be called the Challenger ADR. The entire Challenger lineup will be redesigned in 2018, which includes switching over to the lighter Giorgio platform - the same one that underpins the Alfa Romeo Guilia Dodge will also redesign the Charger to accommodate the new Giorgio platform in 2018. A new two-door convertible could debut in 2021, resurrecting the Barracuda moniker. The aging Dodge Durango will get a light refresh in 2017 with the addition of an SRT model, which Automotive News reports will feature a 6.4-liter V8 engine. Other changes are in store for other FCA brands, including the debut of full-size crossover in 2018 for Chrysler, which will be followed by a midsize crossover in 2019. The Jeep Compass and Wrangler will get a redesign for 2017, with the Cherokee getting a light makeover, as well. The Wrangler-based pickup truck, which we recently spotted testing, is set for its debut in 2018, while the Wagoneer will come out a year later.
