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.

These three automotive Lego kits deserve your suppoort

Sat, Mar 25 2017

Lego has been quite good to car enthusiasts over the past few years. We've seen traditional kits for the classic VW Microbus, Mini Cooper, and the Caterham 620R, as well as an elaborate Technic kit for the 911 GT3 RS. But why stop there? The Lego Ideas page, which allows users to submit ideas with the chance to see their kits reach production, has many more cool car kits we'd love to see. Check them out below, and be sure to log on to vote for them. If a submission hits 10,000 votes, it is considered for production. That's how we got that Caterham kit, so it's worth your time to show your support. Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 This is a submission aimed at becoming one of Lego's Speed Champions kits. These are very small mini-figure scale car models, and the series has included the Ford GT, Audi R18 Le Mans racer, and more. This kit features a tiny version of the Peugeot 205 Turbo 16, a Group B rally racer that gave Peugeot World Rally Championship titles two years in a row. The kit has a well-executed version of the car and its massive rear spoiler on the hatch. It also comes with a big dirt crest for it to fly over, along with amazed spectators on the sidelines. Porsche 911 Turbo 930 We love the GT3 RS Lego kit, but we think it's a little lonely as the only Porsche kit available. Such an impressive Porsche deserves an impressive companion, like this 911 Turbo. It's the 930 version, which is arguably the most famous classic 911 with its turbocharged power, whale-tail wing, and scary driving dynamics thanks to considerable turbo lag and rear-engine handling characteristics. This model is quite large at 1:10 scale, and comes with a detailed interior and exterior. The best part is the remote-control components underneath that allow the car to be driven. Jeep Wrangler JK Moving off the beaten path again, we have this highly detailed Wrangler kit. Actually, we have two kits, as the creator designed both two-door and four-door versions. They both feature removable hard tops, detailed interiors, and big tires. They also come with an assortment of off-road accessories such as auxiliary lights, an off-road jack, winch, gas can, roof rack, and off-road bumper. You can also find various fluid reservoirs and engine details under the opening hood.

Chrysler recalling over 200k vehicles across its brands

Wed, 10 Apr 2013

With more than 200,000 units across six separate recalls and almost all of its brands, it appears that Chrysler has officially jumped headfirst into the recall pool this month. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued three official recalls for the automaker, and The Detroit News is reporting that the automaker itself has announced three more.
The biggest of the recalls applies to about 120,000 Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger and Chrysler 300 models for 2011 and 2012 due to faulty wiring harnesses for the seat-mounted side airbags, which could lead to these airbags not deploying in the event of a crash. A little more than 60,000 two-wheel-drive versions of the 2007-2008 Dodge Nitro and 2008 Jeep Liberty SUVs are being recalled due to a heat shield that could cause the driveshaft to break, which if that isn't bad on its own, could then hit underneath where the airbag sensor is mounted, causing the airbags to deploy. Wrapping up NHTSA's recall notices, about 20,000 Jeep Patriot and Jeep Compass models for 2012 are also being recalled due to a problem with the fuel tank transfer tube that could lead to the vehicle stalling. The LX car recall campaign is going into effect this month, while the other two will start next month - all three notices are posted below.
In addition to the official NHTSA recalls, The Detroit News is also reporting that Chrysler is recalling more than 16,000 Ram trucks and a small number of Dodge Dart sedans. Around 6,500 2013 Ram 1500 trucks will be recalled due to an improper adjustment of the parking brake cable from the factory, while 7,000 Cummins-powered 2013 Ram Heavy Duty trucks are being recalled due to an engine cover that does not have as much heat resistance as it is supposed to. Finally, a total of 46 Dodge Dart sedans are being recalled due to a problem with the brake calipers and/or parking brake.

Mopar teases four of 'nearly 20' SEMA Show concepts

Fri, Oct 23 2015

Yesterday it was Chevrolet. Today, Mopar has dropped some SEMA knowledge, releasing a quartet of teaser images that give us some indication of what kind of cars, trucks, and crossovers Fiat, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram will be showing in Las Vegas. Like Chevy, Mopar's concepts utilize both production and concept accessories, although Fiat Chrysler has gone a bit more indepth on at least one of its concepts. Immediately, the most tantalizing teaser is the one shown above. Yes, that's the back of a Challenger, and aside from the bright orange accents on the gray body, you should take notice of the badge mounted on the spoiler – yes, that says "GT AWD." To be honest, such a vehicle wouldn't be a huge shock, as both the Challenger's LX platform-mates, the Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300, are offered with all-wheel-drive options. Still, adding such a vehicle to the production cycle would give Dodge a leg up on the rear-drive only Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro. Aside from that concept, FCA has also released teasers of a Ram-based concept, a 300-based concept, and what we're guessing is a Fiat 500X. We can't wait to see what the actual Fiat concept has to do with kiteboarding. As for the 300 and Ram, there's not a lot of hints on what sort of styling details they'll contain. The Chrysler has additional LED accents and what we're guessing is matte blue paint, while the Ram is based on a Hemi-powered 1500 with Rebel styling cues. This is just a very tiny sample of Mopar's final SEMA roster, which include "hundreds" of parts. There should also be a total of 20 vehicles covering all four former Chrysler Group brands, as well as Fiat. Naturally, we'll have plenty to report on each vehicle once the SEMA show kicks off in the next couple weeks.
