For sale is my 96 Cherokee Country. Bought this in February of 2011 as my first vehicle as a complete rust bucket. Floor was rotted, rockers, you name it. Slowly throughout the years, I've built it to what it has become and it is finally time to part ways. Some of you may have seen it in 4 Wheeler MAgazine. Body + axles have 245,000 miles.

350 Small block Chevy: Advance Adapters engine mounts and headers, Summit intake, cam, and lifters, MSD HEI distributor, Holley 600 w/ vacuum secondaries. New water pump, power steering pump and alternator

700R4 trnasmission that was rebuilt 10,000 miles ago: Shifts firm with a shift kit.

NP231 transfer case with 241 input planetary and new range selector fork

Iron Rock Offroad Hack N' Tap with rebuilt Cherokee front driveshaft in the rear

8.25 rear end, open diff with 3:55's. New brakes, trussed with all the brackets for the 4 link welded to it.

4 linked rear using OEM JK front lower control arms, brackets from Ballistic Fabrication, TJ Rubicon rear coils, Rough Stuff Specialties 7/8" heim joints and OEM F-250 rear shocks. Wheel base was stretched 2 inches at the time.

Stock HP Dana 30 up front with 3:55's. Again, open diff newer u joints, may need ball joints. Rough Country 3" springs with 2" spacers and Rough Country shocks, Rubicon Express track bar, Rough Country steering stabilizer, aftermarket lower control arms.

Chopped summer of 2012. OEM rear seat can still be used, sound bar relocated and works, rear window from an old Datsun truck that needs resealing. Bed and rear wall are all 16 gauge sheet metal.

Rear frame section was replaced from sheet metal (which again, was rusted) to 1/8" wall 2X4 with the rear 2x5 3/16's wall rear bumper welded to it for extra strength. 2" receiver hitch in the bumper.

2X4 1/8" wall rockers with 3/16"s tree bars welded down the body seam and bolted to the floor..... which has all been replaced except the front half of the transmission tunnel, with 16 gauge and a rubber floor to top it off.

33x12.50x15 BFG All Terrains with 3/4-1/2 tread although they are cracked some but none have ever leaked air.

Now for the bad:

Needs a speedometer, I just never got around to buying one when I did the engine swap since the computer was removed and the gauges no longer work.

Power drivers seat stopped working after the engine swap as well

Needs a new flex plate. It rattles sometimes in overdrive and reverse. I have a different one, just need to install it.

Finish wiring the turn signals in the rear. Again, just never got around to doing it.

^^^ Both the light wiring and flex plate WILL be done before somebody buys it.

E brake is not hooked up.



I can't really think of anything else wrong with it. I've built the entire Jeep myself since I never had much of a budget throughout high school. I have a few hundred pictures of it since I've bought it until a few months ago when I parked it. I've been starting it every two weeks and moving it to make sure its still running fine. It starts faster than my RX-8 even after its been sitting. Please contact me through here or call/ text me at 315-921-1-Four-0 One with any questions. Asking $4,300 OBO and I'm in no huge rush to sell it although I would like to start my turbo RX-8 build and could use the cash for that.

Jeep reportedly releasing Peugeot-based, Fiat-built baby 'ute in 2022

Mon, Mar 1 2021

Jeep is now under the same Stellantis-branded roof as Peugeot, among other European carmakers. It will take full advantage of its new ownership to quickly develop and launch an entry-level car, according to a new report. Anonymous sources told industry trade journal Automotive News that the yet-unnamed model will be positioned directly below the Renegade. Rumors of a baby Jeep have popped up time and again in the past few years, and most claimed it would share its underpinnings with the Fiat Panda 4x4, an immensely capable city car that's a regular sight in the Alps. Those plans have allegedly changed; the soft-roader is now being designed around the Common Modular Platform (CMP) that underpins the Peugeot 208 and the Citroen C4, among other models. Using the CMP platform unlocks several benefits. It's much newer than the architecture found under the Panda, it's highly modular, and it was developed with gasoline, diesel, hybrid, and electric powertrains in mind. It sounds like the first Peugeot-based Jeep will come standard with front-wheel-drive, and it will offer an optional four-wheel-drive powertrain consisting of a longitudinally-mounted engine that will spin the front wheels and an electric motor that will put the rear wheels into motion. Odds are the motor will be capable of powering the crossover on its own, too. Most of the powertrain components will come from Peugeot. CMP wasn't designed for hardcore off-roading, so we're expecting more of a shrunken Renegade for the boulevard than a downsized Wrangler for the trail. Fiat will build Jeep's smallest model in Tychy, Poland, in a factory that currently churns out the Fiat 500 and the Lancia Ypsilon. Production is tentatively scheduled to start in 2022, and it's too early to tell if we'll see the crossover in America. Its pocket-sized dimensions might keep it away from our shores. It will certainly increase Jeep sales on the European market, where models that sell relatively well in the United States regularly post dismal sales figures. For example, the Grand Cherokee is a seen as a leviathan of a family hauler and the Wrangler is heavily taxed. Peugeot's CMP platform will allegedly underpin the production version of the Alfa Romeo Tonale concept, too. Pegged below the Stelvio, the crossover was originally developed on the Renegade's bones — some sources claim that's still the case, and Alfa Romeo hasn't shed light on the matter. Reportedly, Fiat will later get a CMP-based car.

2014 Jeep Compass/Patriot sing their swan songs with a six-speed automatic

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

Unless the governor, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne, gives them a reprieve, the 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot are expected to meet their makers sometime next year. Should they perish, it's a shame that it would happen just as they've shed the continuously variable transmission that was their major bugbear, and just as the Compass has gotten its best looks yet.
Both will roll with a proper six-speed automatic transmission, courtesy of PowerTech. Noise-resistant gears and tuning by Chrysler boffins should alleviate the unappealing sounds that were given off by the older CVT. Unless, that is, you choose to have either model equipped with Freedom Drive II; the serious off-road package, available on both baby Jeeps, will still come with the CVT. The base transmission on the entry-level Sport trim remains the five-speed manual.
Otherwise, it's minor changes for the Compass, set off by the new 18-inch wheel option, trim pieces around the car and a back-up camera. The Patriot gets seat-mounted airbags, but is carryover otherwise. With their expected demises perhaps a year away, not much has changed otherwise. Engine choices comprise the 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 158 horsepower and 141 pound-feet of torque or the 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 172 hp and 165 lb-ft.

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.
