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.

2016 Jeep Wrangler to ditch solid axles to save weight?

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

Hey, Jeep fans. If you think the idea of a funky-looking, car-based Cherokee revival is offensive, have a listen to what might be in store for the next-gen Jeep Wrangler. Automotive News is reporting that as Jeep develops the 2016 Wrangler, weight reduction is a crucial target, and the Wrangler's rugged solid axles could be sacrificed in the name of better fuel economy.
We've already heard the next Wrangler will go on a serious diet using aluminum body panels and an air suspension system, so the idea of a four-wheel independent suspension setup for this OG SUV isn't all that surprising. Besides, it's not like an independent suspension would limit the Wrangler's off-road abilities - just check out the Hummer H1. In fact, it might be the aftermarket parts companies - not Wrangler enthusiasts - who would be most disappointed by such a drastic suspension change, as the article states that the Wrangler's solid axles and coil-link suspension make it the most popular SUV for customization.
There are probably still a couple years before we'll start hearing any concrete details about the 2016 Wrangler, at which time it will be interesting to see how stricter fuel economy and crash safety regulations have been balanced with traditional Wrangler cues like its removable doors and roof and folding windshield. Let us know in the comments below if a Wrangler sans solid axles is any less of a Wrangler.

LA-bound 2014 Jeep Wrangler special edition gives us the Willys for $25,795

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The Jeep Wrangler might be the reigning king of special editions, but with sales records being broken almost all year, this plan is obviously resonating with buyers. Joining new models like the Dragon Edition and Polar Edition, the 2014 Jeep Wrangler is adding a new Willys Wheeler Edition to pay homage to Jeep's military heritage.
Getting ready for its big debut at the LA Auto Show, the 2014 Jeep Wrangler Willys Wheeler Edition is inspired by early Willys CJ (Civilian Jeep) models with exclusive styling and upgraded off-road goodies. Starting with a Wrangler Sport, these upgrades include a Dana 44 rear axle with limited-slip differential and 3.73 gears, along with meaty BF Goodrich KM Mud Terrain tires mounted to the Willys Wheeler's black 17-inch wheels. For more of a classic Jeep look, this model adds a gloss black grille, "Willys" hood stickers and rock rails to protect the side sills. Jeep is also tossing in a D-ring, tow strap and gloves that are all kept in a special carrying bag.
When it goes on sale early next year, the Wrangler Willys Wheeler Edition will start at $25,795 for the two-door model, while the four-door will start at $29,595. There's an official press release posted below, and we'll be sure to have live images of the special-edition Wrangler live from the LA Auto Show floor later this week, so stay close.

Jeep teases Trailcat and other Easter Safari concepts

Thu, Mar 3 2016

Update: It's confirmed. The Trailcat is a Hellcat-powered Wrangler concept. Stay tuned for more details. Ahead of the 50th annual Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah, the company is teasing two of the seven concepts it'll be taking along. There are virtually no solid details about these two Jeeps, save that they exist. But just reading the word scrawled across the Jeep Wrangler Trailcat concept's hood gets the blood pumping. We've been hearing about Hellcat-powered Jeeps for a while now. The Grand Cherokee Trackhawk has been the subject of a steady drum-roll of rumors and reputed confirmations, and even a spy video. But that's the Grand Cherokee. But a Wrangler? The aftermarket has been fooling with it. A company called Hauk will stuff one in a Wrangler for you, and surely other companies will follow. For Jeep itself to stuff one into a concept vehicle seems like a great way to fire up the diehard Wrangler folks. The other concept is called the Jeep Crew Chief, and it looks like an update of the Jeep Chief concept from last year. That incredible, retro design recalled the SJ-generation Jeep Cherokee of the 1970s and '80s. Last year's Chief was based on a Wrangler Unlimited, with the rear doors slightly disguised to emulate its two-doored forbearer. Based on the "Crew" part of the name, we can surmise it might be a crew-cab pickup conversion with the wonderful Chief front end. Expect it to be a hit, as well.
