New fuel hoses from front to rear were replaced including main and return, fuel tank was sent out to be cleaned at radiator shop. Brakes were checked and I did nothing to them cause it looks that previous owner did redo the whole system it has front disk and rear drums. Brand new windshield frame and new windshield along with new seals. Fenders were cut to simulate a flat fender look, it looks really nice not some whack job. this unit has a tailgate option from factory which is not to common on cj5.

This was a two owner stock jeep when I acquired it. Now the bad, the jeep will be sold with only one seat for the drivers side which is in real good condition the seats I used to build were master craft style which I removed to install in another project. risers and sliders are installed you will need ONE seat for passenger 125.00 new on line. It has no rear bench seat 115.00 on line. Heater switch not installed used hole on dash for off road lights I did not want to cut dash and have no need for heater. Tires are 33x 12.5 they are 25-30% tread left they were used to mock up suspension and are good for aprox 3k miles 35 inch tires will fit without any problem. I build jeeps as a hobby and being doing so since I was a kid and don't do this as a business. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING STATMENT CAREFULLY.... This is not a frame off restoration collector piece and not priced as such. This is an extremely functional, well built good looking unit ready for the trails or cruising around town. I have driven the jeep only 50 miles since build and suggest that all suspension bolts be checked after another 500 miles of use The reason of sale is I need the space cause I acquired another unexpected project and I already have another jeep. Please ask questions and request specific pics you may want 500 deposit within 48 hours thank you |

Jeep Cherokee Trail Carver is a more rugged Trailhawk
Wed, 06 Nov 2013We briefly mentioned the Jeep Cherokee Trail Carver that was heading to SEMA last week when discussing the Mopar lineup set to be shown in Las Vegas. At the time, though, we weren't able to dive too deeply into details. But with SEMA in full swing, we were able to sneak over and grab some snaps of one of the first modified Cherokees we've seen. The Cherokee is, after all, kind of an unknown quantity in the modification department, being so new and featuring such a polarizing design. We were quite interested to see what Mopar could come up with.
Starting with the Trailhawk 4x4 and its 3.2-liter V6, the engine is fitted with a Mopar cold-air intake and a new exhaust, although it's not clear what sort of power boost has resulted. We'll admit, we were hoping Jeep and Mopar would get a bit more aggressive with the Cherokee's suspension (has anyone thrown a few-inch lift on the new Jeep yet?), but there's no mention of upgrades beyond the knobby, off-road tires. Those should do some good when the going gets rough, while rock rails are there to protect the Auburn Pearl paint on the body.
Speaking of that paint, it's complemented by an interesting graphics package in contrasting black and Crush Orange. The cabin sports Katzkin Amaretto leather seats, along with tech-friendly items like a wireless charging system for cellphones and wireless internet.
Jeep Cherokee won't get diesel until sales of oil-burning Grand Cherokee improve
Tue, 01 Jul 2014Okay Jeep fans, you want more diesel options? Time to step up and prove it. The only way Jeep will offer a diesel powerplant in the Cherokee, according to brand head Mike Manley, is if sales of the Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel nearly double.
Currently, about eight percent of the Grand Cherokees sold feature the 3.0-liter, EcoDiesel V6. That's simply not enough to warrant the bringing an oil-burning Cherokee to the US market, despite the vehicle's presence in Europe, where it's sold with a 2.8-liter diesel V6.
"Cherokee is slightly different because of its weight and size. When I think about bringing Cherokee diesel here, I would like to see Grand Cherokee diesel get much higher than eight percent," Manley told Automotive News. "It would have to be in mid-double digits."
Millionth Jeep Wrangler JK to roll off line this morning
Fri, 17 May 2013According to a report on the Chrysler Communications Facebook page and one fairly grainy image of the production line, at around 11:00AM Eastern this morning, the one-millionth Jeep Wrangler JK will roll out of the company's Toledo assembly plant.
The third-generation or "JK" Jeep Wrangler has been around since the 2007 model year, and has obviously been more popular than ever. With a greater than ever number of trim levels, two-door and four-door Unlimited models and hardy off-roading Rubicon packages, the JK offers more to choose from than ever for those looking for something in a traditional Jeep. In fact, with the modern 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 powering it, the 2012 model year saw more than 140k Wrangers sold here in the US; the best-ever figure for the model.
With a model refresh due out for the Wrangler in 2015 (along with the likely addition of a diesel engine option), we expect that sales will continue to roll right along, too.
