5/6/2013  Let's try this one more time.  I received multiple inquiries after my most recent listing with offers well over where the bidding got to.  If you want to buy the Jeep, bid on it.  My reserve is $25K but if I have some decent participation I will consider lowering that number.  I will not do a "buy it now".  I will be happy to answer any questions about equipment or condition.  Condition is easy though, it's new throughout.  For those dealers who have inquired, maybe this is a $40 k vehicle off of your lot.  It's a show-stopper.  Email your questions and if necessary we can go to the phone.  In the event of a no-sale, I will negotiate with you after the sale only if you participated.  Good luck, bid well, bid often, there is nothing else like this available here.              Disregard the "Base sport utility" and 4.2liter mentioned in the above description. 

      Originally commissioned by a local entrepreneur for use at his beachfront property in Mexico.  Built by CW Performance in Longmont, Colo, Carl Wells (RIP) has built some very nice vehicles.  I have receipts for over $100K spent, no nut or bolt has been left untouched.  Only the highest quality pieces were selected for this build. 

      Engine started lifeas a 1999 Wrangler 4.0 liter.  It was rebuilt and uses fuel injection, a Crane Cam, a larger throttle body and a very gorgeous Hesco aluminum head.  A Borrani header takes care of the exhaust flow.  It runs great.  The clutch is a Centerforce, the trans a rebuilt Borg/Warner T5.  Dual Optima batteries are held in a Wrangler Products battery tray.  An aluminum radiator is cooled by twin electric fans, thermostatically controlled.  Front and rear diffs are 4.56 ratio, the rear an AMC 20 (I believe) with locker, the front equipped with an Ox locker controlled from inside.  Axles are either new or remanufactured as are the driveshafts.  Both diffs feature attractive alloy covers.  Brakes are new and equipped with stainless brake lines.  Suspension is by Fab Tek and Rubicon.  Rubicon express with 4.5" lift and Rubicon extreme duty shock kit.  The wheels are Sertes (the invoice was a little unclear) model 397 and are shod with Goodyear Dura/trac 33/12.50/15 tires, 5 of them.  A Skyjacker transfer case lowering kit is also fitted.  The bumpers are both Warn brand with a rear tire carrier and front winch mount options.  The Warn winch is a Powerplant Dual Force with air compressor built in.  Winch controls are both wired and keyless remote.  A very professional roll cage will keep you unruffled.  All lighting is special, featuring Delta H4 conversions, Hella lights and KC spots.  All running lights are LED and look very cool.  Warn Rock Sliders protect the rocker panels.  A high lift jack is securly mounted above the spare. 

      The frame has been powder coated, the body or tub has been Rhinolined on the underside as well as the interior.  The Gold color professionally done of course.  The hood, windshield, windshield frame are new.  The instruments are either new or reman and work perfectly.  A Kenwood radio/navigation/dvd is enhanced by an Alpine amp and Boss as well as DC Gold speakers.  The Trailmaster seats are matching, front and rear.  A pilot to co/pilot intercom system is included for when the going gets very exciting.  Headsets with mic's are included.  Tuffy brand center console protects the radio and a dash mounted Tuffy security glovebox protects other valuables. 

      The Besttop roof and windows as well as doors are only about 3 years old.  The Jeep was finished in 2008 and has about 2800 miles.  I use the term "new" a lot in describing items, in truth everything has been used for 2800 miles.  Other new or reman items I forgot to mention:  steering box, ball joints, tie rod ends, Q Snorkel, poly fuel tank, steering wheel, and much more. 

      I got the Jeep from the gentleman who commissioned the build.  I would like to move it on to finance my road racing habits.  If you ever wanted to put together an awesome Jeep, here it is.  My name is Jack and I am certainly available to answer your questions.  I have perfect feedback and want to keep it that way.  Good luck and please bid.

Best car infotainment systems: From UConnect to MBUX, these are our favorites

Sun, Jan 7 2024

Declaring one infotainment system the best over any other is an inherently subjective matter. You can look at quantitative testing for things like input response time and various screen load times, but ask a room full of people that have tried all car infotainment systems what their favorite is, and you’re likely to get a lot of different responses. For the most part, the various infotainment systems available all share a similar purpose. They aim to help the driver get where they're going with navigation, play their favorite tunes via all sorts of media playback options and allow folks to stay connected with others via phone connectivity. Of course, most go way beyond the basics these days and offer features like streaming services, in-car performance data and much more. Unique features are aplenty when you start diving through menus, but how they go about their most important tasks vary widely. Some of our editors prefer systems that are exclusively touch-based and chock full of boundary-pushing features. Others may prefer a back-to-basics non-touch system that is navigable via a scroll wheel. You can compare it to the phone operating system wars. Just like some prefer Android phones over iPhones, we all have our own opinions for what makes up the best infotainment interface. All that said, our combined experience tells us that a number of infotainment systems are at least better than the rest. WeÂ’ve narrowed it down to five total systems in their own subcategories that stand out to us. Read on below to see our picks, and feel free to make your own arguments in the comments. Best infotainment overall: UConnect 5, various Stellantis products Ram 1500 Uconnect Infotainment System Review If thereÂ’s one infotainment system that all of us agree is excellent, itÂ’s UConnect. It has numerous qualities that make it great, but above all else, UConnect is simple and straightforward to use. Ease of operation is one of the most (if not the single most) vital parts of any infotainment system interface. If youÂ’re expected to be able to tap away on a touchscreen while driving and still pay attention to the road, a complex infotainment system is going to remove your attention from the number one task at hand: driving. UConnect uses a simple interface that puts all of your key functions in a clearly-represented row on the bottom of the screen. Tap any of them, and it instantly pulls up that menu.

Baby Jeep to join Renegade in FCA's plan for new Italian-built models

Tue, Nov 27 2018

FCA is boosting its European production, introducing new models that will be built in currently under-utilized manufacturing facilities. Among the new models is a new small Jeep, smaller than the current Renegade, as Automotive News reports. FCA's Mike Manley mentioned the entry-level Jeep model earlier this year, also saying that the vehicle is targeted to European and possibly Latin American customers; in the summer, Autocar placed the launch date in 2022. The new "baby" Jeep would be made in the same factory in Pomigliano, Italy, as the small Fiat Panda, which is a top seller in Italy. The current generation Panda was introduced in 2011; if it gets a replacement in 2022, it could possibly share a platform with the Jeep model — or, the Jeep could be an eventual outright replacement for the Panda. One of Fiat's earlier core products, the Punto hatchback, was canned in August, and that production capacity will be used to make the Jeep Compass instead, at the Renegade-producing Melfi factory in southern Italy. The Compass has not previously been built in Europe. The Fiat model portfolio would be shrunk to just the 500 model family and the Panda — the 500 would also be FCA's key electric vehicle offered in Europe. It is not yet clear whether the electric 500 would be made in Turin, Italy, or in Poland; Turin might also get a Giardiniera-badged wagon version of the refreshed 500. As for the Alfa Romeo brand, it is set to gain an even bigger SUV model than the Stelvio, based on the Maserati Levante's platform. The Levante's sales have suffered recently in China, but Maserati does have light in the horizon: The Alfieri 2+2 grand tourer is still in the cards, with a launch expected for 2020 and both a convertible and an electrified version planned to follow. The Alfieri would be made in Modena, Italy, according to Automotive News' sources. None of these plans namedrop the storied Lancia brand, which has been shrunk to just the Ypsilon hatchback, based on the same platform as the current 500 and Panda. Despite that, the Ypsilon was again the second-bestselling car in Italy after the Panda in October. It is unlikely that FCA will be able to ignore this, but it is just as unlikely that any development money will be afforded to come up with a replacement for the Ypsilon, which is as similarly old as the Panda. Perhaps official announcements expected on Thursday will also clarify what will happen to Lancia.

Jeep teases pair of Moab concepts early

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

With the 47th annual Moab Easter Jeep Safari coming up at the end of this month, Jeep is preparing to roll out six new off-road-ready concept vehicles. The first two being teased are the Jeep Grand Cherokee "Trailhawk II" concept and the Jeep Wrangler "Slim," and while we have no information on either, we at least get an idea of what they'll look like.
We can't tell why this Wrangler is called Slim, but it has a nice black-and-red paint scheme with a serious off-roading front bumper and five-spoke beadlock wheels. There's even less we can figure out about the Grand Cherokee's Trailhawk II concept except that it appears to be painted up in the same Crusher Orange paint job as the recently introduced SRT Viper TA. We'll likely more of these as well as peeks at the other Moab concepts as we get closet to this year's Moab Easter Jeep Safari, which will be held March 23 through 31.
