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.

Freak accident during Jeep demonstration turns fatal
Mon, 20 May 2013A 20-year-old woman was killed in Edmonton, Canada on Satuday, reports CTV News, in a freak accident resulting from a rollover during a Jeep demonstration. As part of a fundraising enthusiast event called "Jeeps Go Topless," the driver of one Jeep Wrangler drove up and onto the top of the tire of another.
CTV reports that the owner of the topmost Jeep then switched the vehicle off, posed for pictures and then dismounted from his vehicle. His movement off of the Jeep apparently caused it to tip over, crushing a woman who was on top of an adjacent vehicle. Edmonton police are currently investigating more fully what caused the parking lot accident to occur. Scroll below to watch the CTV News video report about this tragic incident.
Jeep Renegade Hell's Revenge is the Harley rider's Jeep
Fri, Jun 17 2016Well, here's a thing. Yes, it's a Jeep Renegade. Yes, it has flames on it. And no, we aren't really sure how to feel about it. This is the Renegade Hell's Revenge. Presumably named after the Hell's Revenge Trail in Moab, this one-off baby Jeep is the product of Italian tuning house Garage Italia Customs and draws inspiration from the collected works of Harley-Davidson. It's not the first time a car company has attached the Milwaukee icon's badge to one of its vehicles – the company has a long history of partnering with Ford for special edition pickup trucks – but it's the first time we can recall the brand teaming with Jeep. The Hell's Revenge was created because of the 25th annual European H.O.G. Rally, a big Harley-Davidson festival being held in Portoroz, Slovenia this weekend. And since Europeans have a bizarre infatuation with Harleys, Jeep probably saw an excellent advertising opportunity and slotted the off-road brand in as the event's main sponsor. We have to admire the workmanship on this diesel-powered Renegade. Ignore the fact that there's a flame motif, and the actual paint job itself is absolutely lovely. According to FCA's official release, GIC used four layers of matte paint before applying fluorescent paint. The dashboard also gets a bright, exuberant flame motif, while the seats are a combination of Foglizzo Nappa leather and black denim. The functional changes are minor. BFGoodrich tires and a jacked-up suspension provide extra capability, and there are a pair of adorable LED spotlights ahead of the two A-pillars. It's an impressive effort. Really. But when you remember that the last Chrysler product to wear a flame motif was the PT Cruiser, we wonder if Jeep knew what kind of company its newest CUV would be in. Related Video:
Jeep reportedly releasing Peugeot-based, Fiat-built baby 'ute in 2022
Mon, Mar 1 2021Jeep is now under the same Stellantis-branded roof as Peugeot, among other European carmakers. It will take full advantage of its new ownership to quickly develop and launch an entry-level car, according to a new report. Anonymous sources told industry trade journal Automotive News that the yet-unnamed model will be positioned directly below the Renegade. Rumors of a baby Jeep have popped up time and again in the past few years, and most claimed it would share its underpinnings with the Fiat Panda 4x4, an immensely capable city car that's a regular sight in the Alps. Those plans have allegedly changed; the soft-roader is now being designed around the Common Modular Platform (CMP) that underpins the Peugeot 208 and the Citroen C4, among other models. Using the CMP platform unlocks several benefits. It's much newer than the architecture found under the Panda, it's highly modular, and it was developed with gasoline, diesel, hybrid, and electric powertrains in mind. It sounds like the first Peugeot-based Jeep will come standard with front-wheel-drive, and it will offer an optional four-wheel-drive powertrain consisting of a longitudinally-mounted engine that will spin the front wheels and an electric motor that will put the rear wheels into motion. Odds are the motor will be capable of powering the crossover on its own, too. Most of the powertrain components will come from Peugeot. CMP wasn't designed for hardcore off-roading, so we're expecting more of a shrunken Renegade for the boulevard than a downsized Wrangler for the trail. Fiat will build Jeep's smallest model in Tychy, Poland, in a factory that currently churns out the Fiat 500 and the Lancia Ypsilon. Production is tentatively scheduled to start in 2022, and it's too early to tell if we'll see the crossover in America. Its pocket-sized dimensions might keep it away from our shores. It will certainly increase Jeep sales on the European market, where models that sell relatively well in the United States regularly post dismal sales figures. For example, the Grand Cherokee is a seen as a leviathan of a family hauler and the Wrangler is heavily taxed. Peugeot's CMP platform will allegedly underpin the production version of the Alfa Romeo Tonale concept, too. Pegged below the Stelvio, the crossover was originally developed on the Renegade's bones — some sources claim that's still the case, and Alfa Romeo hasn't shed light on the matter. Reportedly, Fiat will later get a CMP-based car.
