 Hello,

I have 3 years labor, and over $11,000 in verified cash receipts in this jeep.  I only put about 5000 miles on this since the complete build. Be the first to take it in the mud!!  I have too much time and money in this jeep to get it muddy.  I took it to the dunes once and it did great. Here are the specs:

 

Short Fender style tub with later model frame/ dash & windshield frame. (The good Electric wipers, defrost, etc)

 

Engine:

350 ci. Fresh rebuild

New Oil pump, timing set, rings, bearings, water pump, ps pump, alternator, etc.

Comp Cams 292 grind cam. .501 lift, 292 duration

Custom built headers

3hp mini-starter

Aluminum radiator/ electric fan. (runs cool)

Victor Jr. aluminum intake w/ 1” spacer

Summit 750cfm Holley copy carb w/ elec. Choke.

Starts easy even when cold.

Has very wicked idle, sounds mean.

(Have all receipts and machine shop itemization)

 

 

Heads:

Aluminum L98 Corvette heads Built at Speed shop in Tigard.

58cc chamber, flat top pistons, runs great on premium pump gas

Z28 springs, retainers, guide plates, vitan seals, Ported, flow tested. Huge runners

Stainless valves, 1.94/1.50

Chromoly pushrods, high-energy poly lock rocker nuts

Roller rockers

$900 invested

(Have all receipts)

 

Transmission:

GM Hydramatic TH-400

Bullet-proof Built by Shop in Roseburg

Upgraded high energy frictions

4L80E Direct Drum

NewSpiral lock rings, 34 element sprag, instead of weaker 16 element.

Transgo shift kit. (The good one that is also the “reprogramming kit”)

Small stall converter, I think it is a 1700 if I remember correctly, just enough to keep it from tugging hard at idle at the stop lights.

(Have all receipts)

 

Drive train etc:

Dana model 20 transfer case. New seals

Scout II Dana 44 front and rear

Disc brake front

New lift springs/ bushings

New Front brakes, calipers, etc.

New Ball joints

Crossover Power steering with all new larger than stock tie rods/ ends.

Drop pitman arm

We gave this 4 degrees of positive caster when setting up the front end, so it drives amazingly well. Better than a lot of stock- height jeeps I have owned.

Steering gear box is a Gm Saginaw box, Frame fish-plated for strength.

All driveshaft u-joints are  new

Rear driveshaft is a double- carden style that is setup correctly(no vibrations)

Dropped engine/ trans down approx. 4” and tilted tailshaft down to correct driveshaft angle. Gives jeep a really nice low center of gravity.

This is not a jeep that will “eat” u-joints once a year. It is setup right.

The rear end has been moved back approx. 2”

Dual gas tanks..10 gal under front seat, 14 gal under rear seat.

Switchable fuel guage .

Full roll cage w/ padding near head area.

Bed-lined inside of tub

New seats./ full seat belts front and rear

Heater works great, and yes it has defrost (no need to carry a towel)

8000lb Warn Winch. Looks and works like new.

Bestop top/ doors in great shape. Windows clear, very few scratches.

New Cragar Black wheels.

New 38x15.50-15 Nitto Mud Grappler tires with less than 500 miles. Still have “nipples” on tread.

Exhaust all new with flowmaster style stainless mufflers.

B&M floor shift

New motor mounts, fuel lines, etc.

Tilt Column

Tachometer

Speedometer, signals/indicators, wipers, heater blower, lights, KC lights, horn, etc all work great.

All white face manual gauges are new.

 

Body is not perfect, but not bad by any means. Floor pans look like they have been replaced and are in perfect shape. Paint is not perfect, but looks good.  Front fenders are fiberglass, everything else is steel. I have included pics of all blemishes on body. The only dent in the body is on hood where it appears someone threw the hood open hard at some point and creased it against windshield frame. 

This jeep is huge and puts all others to shame in this area. Everybody looks when this monster comes rumbling down the road.  Approx 12” of lift, but drives good. Even at 75mph on the freeway.

I can deliver this to an auto shipper in any town within 2 hours from here if you buy this. I know there is one in Medford and probably one in Eugene. Call me with other questions, 541-580-1975. Thanks and happy bidding.

Jeep gunning to build 250,000 Cherokees a year

Thu, 21 Mar 2013

Contrary to what a certain politician may have said last year about Jeep moving to China, the automaker is in fact doing the opposite, with plans to greatly increase the production capacity at its Toledo North Assembly plant in Ohio. The Detroit Free Press is reporting that there are big plans for the 2014 Jeep Cherokee and Toledo North, as a local union president has informed the newspaper that Chrysler is planning to produce around 250,000 examples of the new midsize utility per year.
To put this number into context, 250,000 units is more than what Jeep Liberty sales totaled here over the last three years combined. Even taking into consideration that the 250,000 units will be distributed beyond US borders, that's an ambitious volume figure full-stop - and that's without taking into consideration the new Cherokee's love/hate design. In its favor, though, Jeep is making remarkable inroads globally as of late, and the Cherokee's size could work well in emerging markets. To get that kind of output from Toledo's Cherokee assembly line, Chrysler will reportedly hire 1,105 new workers - that's in addition to the 200 workers already being hired to build the popular Jeep Wrangler, which is itself expected to top 220,000 units this year.

Jeep gunning for 1M sales this year

Thu, 16 Jan 2014

Jeep CEO Mike Manley would rather soft-pedal the seven-figure prognostication for now, but Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne won't have it, proclaiming in an interview that Jeep will sell one million units worldwide this year. Manley has called that come-hither number "a stretch," the history of recent gains perhaps reason for his caution: in 2011 the brand sold 568,317 units, followed by the record-breaking tally of 701,626, then another record in 2013 with 731,565 units moved.
That kind of gap means everything will need to go magically for Jeep to record a 37-percent increase this year - amazing Cherokee sales, a brilliant launch for the little Jeep arriving in Europe later this year and a heavy wave to raise sales in US, European and Chinese markets. Manley is confident about the prospects in 2015, though, with the Cherokee in full stride, the Fiat-based Jeep on its way to the US and expanded global production. It's not as though Marchionne's prediction for Jeep's 2014 sales is unexpected, since he first made it last year. But even if the number ends up a little short for 2014, there's no doubt it will be impressive.

Chrysler's Woodward Dream Cruise festivities include Ram concept truck debut

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

The streets will be crowded next weekend along Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak, Michigan for the 19th Annual Woodward Dream Cruise. As part of the run-up to the festivities, Chrysler has announced that all of its brands - Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Fiat, SRT and Mopar - will bring along their latest vehicles. Also included will be a collection of classic American cars and various activities for attendees at the official Chrysler location on the corner of Woodward and 13 Mile Road.
Special to this year, Ram brand director Bob Hegbloom and head of design John Dehner will unveil a Ram concept truck on Saturday. Chrysler will also bring Ryan Friedlinghaus of West Coast Customs fame along to show off a few custom Chrysler-made vehicles of his own. Fans of the brand on Facebook will get the chance to virtually customize a vehicle from the automaker's portfolio, with the winner getting their dream car built for them by Chrysler. Pretty cool stuff, no?
As in past years, Ford and General Motors will have an official presence at the event as well, and you can expect to see plenty of cars of all makes and models from all parts of the globe. The madness starts this Friday, August 16, from 4:30 PM to 10 PM, with the main event taking place on Saturday, from 9 AM to 9 PM. For more details on the show, including events and their times, check out the press release below.
