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!

Car Club USA: Louisiana Mudfest

Tue, Jun 16 2015

There's nothing quite like mudding. Big tires, huge power, and crazy-wild gearheads that like to throw down on a mud pit almost as much as a thirty rack of Coors. In the latest, and some might argue greatest yet episode of Car Club USA, we head to Louisiana to throw some dirt at Mudfest. As Louisiana's one and only Mouth of the South puts it, "If you don't mud ride... go to Texas I guess." Joining The Mouth and friendly rivals The Most Hated Mud Sluts, we dive in. Beyond the obvious V8 blasting and tractor-tire spinning, those who know best describe Mudfest as, "Good cooking, good friends, good fun, and a lot of partying." It's a motorsport spectacle unlike any you're likely to find up North or out West, though no less impressive to behold. Follow along with the fun, the impromptu drag racing, the trash talking, and the mechanical madness. And find out why, at Mudfest, "if we don't tear it up, we ain't done it right." Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures. From Main Street cruises to off-road trails, catch all the latest car club activity on Autoblog. Chevrolet Ford Jeep RAM Truck Off-Road Vehicles Car Club USA Videos autoblog black

2022 New York Auto Show Roundup | All the reveals, reviews, pictures

Fri, Apr 15 2022

NEW YORK — In case you missed it, the New York Auto Show took place this year after being canceled in both 2020 and 2021 due to Covid. A lot of manufacturers showed up in force, but not everybody did. No matter, we were there, and we brought you news, photos and scoops from the floor throughout the show. All of our New York-related stories can be found at our central hub here, but if youÂ’d rather just get a small taste of everything in a quick and digestible format, keep scrolling. 2023 Kia Telluride and its new X-Pro trim Kia revealed the TellurideÂ’s first major refresh at New York, and it makes the three-row crossover a little bit more desirable without screwing up what we liked about it before. ThereÂ’s a new X-Line and X-Pro trim for someone who might want a little more off-road capability, and a number of tech improvements. Most notably, a newly-designed dash features new and bigger screens. 2023 Hyundai Palisade The TellurideÂ’s sister car from Hyundai was treated to a similar refresh. Like the Telluride, Hyundai gave the Palisade a slightly revised look, a new off-road trim (called XRT in the PalisadeÂ’s case), more tech inside and a new dash design with full-width air vents. If we had to choose, weÂ’re a little more impressed with the TellurideÂ’s refresh, as a number of us on staff actually prefer the pre-refresh Palisade styling over the new one. 2023 Jeep Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L This one was inevitable. Jeep revealed the longer, roomier versions of its Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer in New York, and theyÂ’re designated with an “L” at the end of their names. Total length grows by a foot, and the wheelbase goes up by 7 inches versus the standard Wagoneer models. Jeep has essentially allocated all this extra room to the cargo area, as it now offers a staggering 44.2 cubic-feet of space behind the third row. Besides the L, Jeep announced that its new Hurricane inline-six engine would find its first home in the Wagoneer. Efficiency gets a small boost, and power is more than sufficient at either 420 horsepower (standard output) or 510 horsepower (high-output version) from the twin-turbo I-6. Chrysler Airflow Graphite Concept The Stellantis party continues with Chrysler and its slightly revised Airflow. Re-styled for the New York market after initially debuting at CES in Las Vegas, the Airflow Concept gets new paint, changed accent colors, a slightly changed interior design and a new interpretation of the Chrysler logo.
