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!

Next Jeep Wrangler to get hybrid option?

Wed, Jan 21 2015

This may the year a Jeep hybrid is officially announced. Really. The Chrysler division may finally be making plans for its first gas-electric powertrain to help boost the group's fuel economy, says UK's Auto Express, citing Mike Manley, CEO of FCA's Jeep division. The guinea pig of sorts may be the Wrangler, which moved almost a quarter-million units in the US last year. The Wrangler could get a hybrid drivetrain by the 2017 model year, as Jeep executives look to maintain the model's feel and torque while boosting its fuel economy. The Wrangler gets a pretty paltry 18 miles per gallon combined out of its six-cylinder mill, so the bar's set pretty low. Of course, we've heard this talk before. In late 2013, Chrysler Asia-Pacific product planning manager Steve Bartoli told Australia's Drive that a Jeep hybrid was pretty much inevitable, though not much has been mentioned since. FCA could use all the help it can get in the fuel economy department. The group brought up the rear among automakers when it came to fuel efficiency, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said in its EPA Trends report released last October. The FCA models combined for a 21.1 miles per gallon average for the 2014 model year, compared to the 24.2 mpg overall industry average. The group's only electric vehicle in the US is the low-volume Fiat 500e, though the company may start selling a plug-in hybrid version of its Chrysler Town & Country by the end of the year.

Chrysler registers Trackhawk trademark

Wed, 01 Oct 2014

There may not be many ways to forecast what an automaker is planning for the future, but there are some. Trademark applications are one of them, and Chrysler has just applied with the US Patent and Trademark Office to protect the name "Trackhawk." The question is, what's it planning on using it for? We don't know for sure, but we can put together an educated guess or two. And one guess is that Jeep will use the name to replace the letters SRT on the performance version of the Grand Cherokee.
How do we figure, you ask? From a number of developments. For starters, the SRT division has been reintegrated into the Dodge brand. Those letters currently appear on only two vehicles from outside the Dodge lineup: one is the Grand Cherokee SRT, and the other is the Chrysler 300 SRT. We've heard ruminations (however unconfirmed) that the latter could be either discontinued or possibly relabeled, and if the same proves true of the GC, the Trackhawk name could serve as a on-road performance counterpart to the Trailhawk label applied to off-road versions of models like the Cherokee and Renegade.
Logical it may be, but it's hardly a foregone conclusion. The Trackhawk name could just as easily be used for a new concept (like the Trailhawk name was in 2007), for another kind of trim level or for something else entirely. In fact we don't even know for sure it'll be used by the Jeep brand specifically, or used at all for that matter. Automakers have been known, after all, to register names they don't end up using.

Watch a Cayenne Turbo S, Range Rover SVR, and Cherokee SRT drag race

Thu, Mar 17 2016

We live in a weird world where high-performance SUVs could win a 60-mile-per-hour sprint against sports cars from just a few years ago. Here, Top Gear sets up a three-way drag race against the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR, and Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, and the results show just how quickly these high-riding models can cross the quarter mile. The Cherokee SRT is the patriotic choice among the three, but it's down on power in this fight. Meanwhile, the Range Rover's menacing growl sounds the best, and the Cayenne Turbo S has the most horsepower. You'll have to watch the video to see which SUV will win this battle. Related Video:
