If you know why a TJ is lengthened then you know why a 2 door XJ has got the perfect wheel base.  You also know that 2 door XJs with a 5 speed manual transmissions are very rare.   You also know that finding a good one is very hard to find if at all.  If you find one that can be both driven on the highway at 75 MPH and take on the hard trails, well you found it.

Body:

No rust anywhere.  Floors are like new.  Good paint with good looking dents.  It's a trail rig, has lots of dents.  All glass is there and the body has no cracks.  The body is structurally sound.

Interior:

Comfortable.  Heater system works with cold AC.  

Engine:

4.0 with 113,000 on it.  Very strong engine and returns good fuel mileage for a jeep. Does not use oil. Maintains slightly under 210 degree temperature.  Has power steering pump cooler.

Off Road:

Tomken 6.5 inch lift, adjustable control arms (very stout arms), adjustable track bar and JKS sway bar disconnects.  Tom Woods driveshaft and slip yoke eliminator.  Detroit locker in rear and Track Lock Diff in front.  4.56 superior gears.  Rusty's heavy duty steering bar, Old Man Emu front shocks, Warn winch and bumper.  Hanson Offroad rear bumper.  35 Inch Goodrich KM2 tires with lots of thread left.  Tires have been perfectly balanced and there is NO shake driving this XJ.  Wheels are only a year old.

Maintenance:

Starting with newest maintenance.  Maintenance was done as needed or to keep jeep in perfect condition.

At 112,087 replaced drivers side wheel hub assembly.  

At 111,291 did complete brake job.  Replaced rotors and pads with calipers in front and drums and brake pad in rear.  

At 111,000 replaced spark plugs in engine.  Coolant was flushed and changed.

At 109,000 replaced upper and lower ball joints and tie rod ends.  Alignment done.

At 104,000 front and rear axels were overhauled.  All u-joints were replaced.  Clutch was replaced.  Radiator, water pump and all hoses were replaced.

Oil changes are done as needed and diffs and transfer case have Mopar synthetic lube in them.

Jeep can be parked on the driveway because it does not leak.  It needs nothing to take it away, all maintenance is done.  

The BAD:

Signal light lever does not return to center.  When going up a long steep hill the blend doors in the heater will go to heat because the vacuum box is gone.  But it returns to vent after the hill.  These never bothered me.  

I will be glad to answer all questions.  Yes, it is worth the asking price.  It's rare!

Top horsepower-per-dollar cars in 2017

Tue, Feb 17 2015

Bang for the buck. That quasi-scientific statistic is bandied about by motor heads everywhere from classrooms to barrooms, though the truth of the matter is that it's exceedingly complex to measure. A fair performance-per-dollar index would include something like cross-referencing MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price) with point-to-point times on a track or driving route, which is obviously hard to do comprehensively. But, for the sheer joy of talking about cars and playing with a big spreadsheet, there's always the horsepower-per-dollar index, which is more straightforward, albeit hilariously flawed. There are vagaries even with this simple formula, of course: MSRP for vehicles can change at a moment's notice, to say nothing of the bottom-line shifting that happens with local deals or showroom negotiation. For this list we're running with the straight MSRP wherever possible, and as recently reported as we can get it. All the vehicles on this list are 2017 models, and all trims are reported where the lowest price and differing power levels intersect. Some choices were made for personal preference and some for sanity, avoiding things like all 48 trim levels of the Ford Transit, all with the same horsepower). If this list were a simple top ten, or even a top fifty, you'd be bored to tears with all the red, white and blue that is represented. Following perfectly with conventional wisdom, American cars really do lead the world where hp/$ is concerned. So, for the sake of variety (and the sheer joy of seeing a minivan 'win' one round of this thing) I've sorted out some top five and bottom five lists for broad power categories. Let's dive in. Less Than 100 Horsepower Okay, okay, this is hardly a category we'll grant you. But we've often tried to click off all the sub-100-hp cars on sale in the US, and making this list gave us an excuse. It also illustrates that none of these smallish vehicles bring cheap horsepower to the table - for that you'll need a motorcycle. The segment-leading Chevy Spark (above) asks just over $139 for each hp, and that Smart Fortwo Electric Drive has hp on sale for about the same price as its very distant family cousin, the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG (insert your favorite Smart joke here... we know you want to).

Chinese Jeep production confirmed with Fiat, Guangzhou agreement

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

Fiat has just finalized a deal originally set up in January between it and China's Guangzhou Automotive Group to bring Jeep production to China. It remains unclear which models will be built, although we're wagering that it'll be the 2014 Cherokee. What we do know, now, is where production will take place.
According to Automotive News, Guangzhou originally wanted production to take place in its home assembly plant in its namesake city. Fiat has battled to send production to a joint venture facility established between Guangzhou and Fiat in the town of Changsha. The joint facility won out, and now the factory, originally built in 2010 with a 140,000-unit capacity, will see Jeeps rolling out of it.
Currently, the GAC-Fiat factory produces the Fiat Viaggio, a jointly developed product that is closely related to America's Dodge Dart. And while it remains unclear as to which model will join the Viaggio on the assembly line, that model is understood to ride on Fiat's Compact platform. The only Jeep to share those underpinnings is the new Cherokee, so there's not much connecting of dots needed to see why this scenario would make sense.

Next-gen Jeep Wrangler to get 8-speed automatic and 3.0-liter EcoDiesel

Thu, Mar 5 2015

Following up on previous reports, an anonymous source within FCA has confirmed to Autoblog that the next-generation Jeep Wrangler will come to market with both a 3.0-liter, EcoDiesel V6 and ZF's critically acclaimed eight-speed automatic transmission. While this pairing makes a lot of sense (we'll explain why in a minute), until now, we only had limited reports that either item would arrive in the next-generation Wrangler. This is the first time we've heard that the eight-speed automatic and the diesel would be paired together. That said, we shouldn't be surprised by this news. FCA currently sells the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Ram 1500 with the diesel/eight-speed gearbox combo, making its inclusion in the next-gen Wrangler far from an Apollo 11-caliber feat of engineering. Naturally, we reached out to Jeep for an official comment. Spokesperson Gabrielle Schulte gave us the expected response to this kind of inquiry, telling Autoblog that FCA does not comment on future product. Jeep has flirted with the idea of a diesel Wrangler for some time, with CEO Mike Manley telling Ward's Auto just over two years ago that a Wrangler diesel was "on the radar," although at that time, we weren't certain whether it'd be the 3.0-liter EcoDiesel showing up in the rough-and-tumble off-roader. As for the eight-speed, SEC filings back in November revealed that it'd be coming to the Wrangler in 2018. Our source could not confirm which model year the 8AT/diesel would arrive in. Related Video:
