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.

Jeep mulling power top for next Wrangler
Fri, 07 Mar 2014Jeep is hard at work on the next-generation Wrangler, though the truck is still a few years from hitting the trails. The new model will still be aimed at off-roaders, but rumors suggest it will be a little more comfortable than previous versions to appeal to more people.
According to Road and Track, Jeep is developing a power-retractable top as an expensive option for the Wrangler. There is no word if the top in question is a sliding canvas rollback like the ones found on many European vehicles or a full convertible hardtop or softtop, nor do we know whether it would be made available on two- or four-door models. It might be a nice feature for some buyers but would certainly add complexity to a truck already known for its ruggedness. We asked Jeep for confirmation, but Jeep spokesperson Todd Goyer could only remind us that the company "can't comment about future products."
In news that is likely to irk the faithful, R&T reports the next model may also ditch its folding windshield for improved safety and possibly even get rid of its rear-mounted, full-size spare tire. The new Wrangler won't go completely soft, though, and will reportedly still feature removable doors and solid axles.
2018 Jeep Wrangler revealed: First photos released before L.A. Auto Show debut
Wed, Nov 1 2017All the guessing and speculation on the look of the 2018 Jeep Wrangler can finally end. Jeep has released a trio of photos showing off the new off-roader in both two- and four-door configurations. Sadly, this is all we get to see at the moment, as the company won't be releasing any more photos or info until the truck's official debut at the Los Angeles auto show Nov. 29. But Wrangler fans can rest easy about a number of key features. For one thing, there isn't a single aspect of open air motoring left out of the new truck. As one of the images clearly shows, the doors come off, the top comes off, and the windshield still folds down. Other interesting notes include that the gas filler is hidden behind a door now. The hood still has the traditional external clips. Interestingly, the roll bar doesn't reach as close to the edge of the body as it has in past Wranglers. It will be interesting to learn the reason for this. It could have something to do with safety, or perhaps it helps accommodate thicker, quieter hardtops and/or a more elegantly lowered soft top. There are no engine, transmission, or other specifications yet. Those will all come at the aforementioned reveal in LA. However, we expect it to be initially offered with a V6 with either manual or automatic transmissions, followed by a turbocharged four-cylinder with just an automatic.

FCA will pay you to hack its systems
Wed, Jul 13 2016FCA is willing to pay you to hack its cars, as long as you tell the company how you did it. In an effort to enhance cybersecurity and prevent future incidents like the Jeep Cherokee hack last year, FCA announced it's working with Bugcrowd to find vulnerabilities in its vehicle software. Bugcrowd labels itself as a crowdsourced application security testing company. Users, or independent security researchers as Bugcrowd calls them, can find exploits or vulnerabilities in FCA systems. They then submit the information to Bugcrowd, who in turn supplies the info to FCA. The goal is to update systems and close any possible security breaches. FCA is offering bounties from $150 to $1,500 to any Mr. Robot types, with payment based on the size and severity of the flaw. FCA wants hackers to focus specifically on the UConnect website and the company's iOS and Android apps. No bounties will be given for anything outside the scope of those three things. Bugcrowd says it will not take any legal action against anyone who submits an exploit. While we think it's good that the company is taking steps to address these problems, it's not a groundbreaking maneuver. Other companies employ similar systems. Earlier this year, both Tesla and Uber announced that they're willing to offer up to $10,000 to hackers who find vulnerabilities in their system. For years, Microsoft has been paying hackers to find exploits. It also seems that FCA took its time to announce this plan, considering the Jeep hack happened nearly a year ago. If the partnership works, we can expect other automakers to make similar deals. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.
