This Jeep is in very good condition and it is going to be hard to find a vehicle like this one for the money. The paint is Viper Red and is in pretty good condition, there are some imperfections in it. 

The motor is a Grooms High Performance 350 with 4000 miles and the motor is rated at around 300HP. The motor is running 9.5 to 1 flat top pistons, 280 comp cam, and built 963 heads. The transmission is a 350 turbo with a hurst ratchet shifter in the floor changing the gears. The transfer case is a NP205 with custom shifters to make it easier to go from 2L, 2H, 4L, and 4H... that's right -- four selections :-) 

The Dana 44 rear axle has been completely rebuilt and runs 4:10 gears with a Detroit TruTrac locker. The Dana 30 front axle also has been completely rebuilt and it also runs 4:10 gears. With this set-up the jeep is running custom driveshafts to the front and rear axles. This Jeep's steering is running a new rebuilt steering box and Flaming River Shaft. 

Suspension is made up with a 4" SkyJacker Soft Ride lift, custom 1 1/4" body lift, and a 1/2" shackle lift. The shackles are built out of 1/2"x 2 1/2" plate with a 2"x 2" center support. The tires are BRAND NEW 35 x 12.50 Mickey Thompson Baja MTZs running on 15x10 aluminum wheels. To help get your flex on even more in this jeep just undo the sway bar disconnects up front and you're good to go. 

The interior has Think Jeep front seats and a Bestop Fold and Tumble rear seat, the seat belts are also new and they are 3" racing belts up front and 2" in the rear. The inside of the tub is coated with Hercules roll in bed liner. The Windshield and the windshield gasket is also new. On the body parts there are lots of new parts and they are one-piece fiberglass front end, fender flares, all new Stainless Steel bumpers, windshield and tailgate hinges, mirrors, alum. rocker guards, corners, and half doors, and there are many more new parts that are stainless or alum.. 

For cover this jeep comes with Hard Top, Hard Doors, and bikini top. The only reason I am selling this jeep is because I have bought another project to build and I can't have that many toys. This jeep has over $20,000 invested in it not counting all of the labor. There are still many new parts on this Jeep that I have not mentioned and everything that I have for a jeep that is not on this one will go with this one. I have parts that I have never taken out of the box for this jeep.

** I would NOT consider this Jeep a daily driver in its current configuration. It is perfectly streetable going to the trails, camping, around town, etc. but it is set up for off-road primarily.

2018 Jeep Wrangler to get 8-speed auto

Mon, Nov 24 2014

Remember when the Jeep Wrangler had a three-speed automatic? That wasn't that long ago – as recent as the 2007 redesign – but Chrysler is keen to leave those days behind on the dusty trail. The current model ushered in a four-speed, then a five-speed, but the latest intel indicates that an eight-speed automatic is in the cards. According to a report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and cited by Automotive News, Jeep plans on fitting its eight-speed automatic transmission to the next-generation Wrangler. Chrysler already uses the ZF-sourced slushbox on the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ram 1500, Chrysler 300, and versions of the Dodge Challenger, Charger and Durango. But according to the SEC filing, the Auburn Hills automaker intends "to use this transmission in all of our rear-wheel-drive vehicles, except for heavy-duty versions of the Ram pick-up truck and the SRT Viper." AN says that Chrysler wanted to slot the transmission straight into the current Wrangler, but it wouldn't fit. Between the transmission and shift to aluminum construction, the next-generation Wrangler promises to deliver a significant reduction in fuel consumption. In correspondence with Autoblog, however, company spokesmen declined to comment on the eight-speed's suitability towards either the current Wrangler or the upcoming one.

FCA goes all-in on Jeep and Ram brands on cheap gas bet

Wed, Jan 27 2016

It's no surprise that as SUV and truck sales remain strong in the wake of unusually cheap gas, Jeep and Ram sales are taking off. What is a surprise is that FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne thinks that cheap gas will be a "permanent condition," and feels strongly enough about it to change up North American manufacturing plans. Jeep appears to be the biggest beneficiary of the product realignment. In addition to increasing the sales estimates for the brand worldwide upwards to 2 million units a year by 2018, the brand will get a flood of investment for new product and powertrains. Consider the Wrangler Pickup to be part of the salvo, as well as the Grand Wagoneer three-row announced in 2014 as part of the original five-year plan. The Wrangler four-door will get at least two new powertrains, a diesel and mild hybrid version, in its next generation. That mild hybrid powertrain may utilize a 48-volt electrical system like the one that's being developed by Delphi and Bosch – which the suppliers think will be worth a 10 to 15 percent fuel economy gain at a minimum. Down the road, in the 2020s, the Wrangler could adopt a full hybrid system. The diesel powertrain is planned for 2019 or 2020. The Ram 1500 is also pegged to receive a mild hybrid system, again potentially based on 48-volt architecture, sometime after 2020. Lastly, Jeep and Ram will take over some of the production capacity of existing plants. The Sterling Heights, MI, plant that builds the Chrysler 200 will now build the Ram 1500; the Belvidere, IL, facility that produces the Dodge Dart will take over Cherokee output; the big Jeep facility in Toledo, OH, will be used for increased Wrangler demand. In 2015, according to FCA's numbers, car and van demand went down by 10 percent, but SUV demand went up 8 percent and truck demand 2 percent. Considering that these are high-margin vehicles, FCA can't ignore the math. FCA also won't build any new factories to supplement production to meet demand, but instead are reshuffling production priorities. Think of it this way: FCA is gambling on cheap gas being a permanent part of our lives, at least into the 2020s. By doubling down on SUVs and trucks, the company stands to win big, unless a spike in gas prices changes the landscape. FCA isn't talking about a Plan B, so they're all in. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

Wards names its 2015 10 Best Interiors list

Fri, Apr 17 2015

Wards Automotive has named the winners of its 10 Best Interior awards, covering a wide but affordable array of vehicles. Where last year's list contained two six-figure vehicles, including the $372,800 Rolls-Royce Wraith, this year's is, well, a whole lot more reasonable. The publication lists the Mercedes-Benz C400 at $65,000 (which seems off), making it the most expensive vehicle here. That said, we'd argue that the entire C-Class line deserves to make this year's list, owing to its varied and high-quality selection of materials. The other vehicle to break the $60,000 mark, meanwhile, is the $60,675 Ford F-150 King Ranch, which has 327,000 pounds of leather lining its interior. Only one other German car, the BMW i3, and one other pickup truck, the GMC Canyon, managed to make this year's list. Here's the full list of this year's winners: 2014 BMW i3 ($52,550) 2015 Chrysler 300C Platinum ($51,175) 2015 Ford F-150 King Ranch ($60,675) 2015 GMC Canyon SLT ($40,465) 2015 Honda Fit EX-L ($21,590) 2015 Jeep Renegade Limited ($33,205) 2015 Kia Sedona SXL ($43,295) 2016 Mazda6 Grand Touring ($33,395) 2015 Mercedes C400 ($65,000) 2015 Nissan Murano SL ($41,905) See what we mean about the mainstream vehicles? Not only is there a distinct lack of luxury brands, it's the price of some of the vehicles that surprise. The Honda Fit, Jeep Renegade and Mazda6 are very reasonably priced, especially when you compare Wards price with the starting price. The Renegade Limited starts at less than $25,000, the Mazda at less than $22K and the Fit at under $16,000. Head over to Wards for a more detailed explanation of why each vehicle won.
