1998 Xj Jeep Rock Crawler Trail Rig Daily Driver Cherokee 2 Door $13k Invested on 2040-cars
Clarksville, Iowa, United States
|
This is a HIGHLY modified professionally built 2 door XJ Cherokee. This jeep has been on trails in Colorado, Minnesota, and many other advanced trail systems and will run right with the $25,000 buggys. It only has 154,000 original miles and runs like new. It has the bullet proof 4.0 inline six and the auto transmission and the best transfer case Jeep has, the NP231 with a SYE (slip yoke eliminator) kit.
This also comes with a brand new ON Board air system from Viair!!
This jeep was built by a professional 4x4 shop. It has everything you need to do whatever you want. When someone asks, "where do you drive this thing", you simply answer, "anywhere I want".This unit is being offered for much, much less than you can even BEGIN to build one. I have a list of original receipts from the professional 4x4 shop that did all the work, and it totals around $10,000!! (that's not even buying a good solid 2 door XJ which is a tough find in itself. I am selling this Jeep to purchase a small cabin that my whole family can enjoy. I just replaced the complete ARB pump and wiring yesterday. The old pump quit and the new one came with new wiring. I have pix of me testing it out going up some very steep ditches. I also just replaced the tie rod and drag link including all tie rod ends, with heavy duty replacements from the ZJ. Here's a list of some of the mods: Exterior 35"x12.50 17 BFGoodrich KM2 MT Mud Terrain tires x 5 (In great shape as you can see in the pix) (one wheel has a small dent that doesn't affect performance) Bushwacker Pocket flares ARB Snorkel kit JCR Offroad Winch Bumper JCR Offroad Tire Carrier Rock Krawler rear bumper JCR Offroad Gas Tank Skid Plate Rough Country 9500 winch with wireless remote control!! JCR Offtroad Rock Sliders Paint has trail wounds and scratches and a few dings and small dents. (see pix) It is not a show truck. This Jeep is for the trail... and let me tell you, IT TURNS HEADS GOING DOWN THE ROAD!!! Be ready to talk when you stop...anywhere there are people. :) Door pins are warn (common Jeep thing) Mechanical D30 front axle with a D44 rear (Both have Ruffstuff Differential covers) Disc brakes all the way around! 4.56 gears ARB Air Lockers front and rear Front and Rear CV driveshafts. (Unit comes with replacement driveshafts for trail emergencies) NP 231 Transfer Case with the SYE Kit (slip yoke eliminator) It does have an exhaust leak. Otherwise the exhaust is nice. Flowmaster Suspension A FREAK!!!! This unit has the Rough Country 6.5" Long Arm Suspension Kit with the adjustable control arms. It also has a HD skid plate. 1.75 coil spacers and blocks in the rear bring the total lift to over 8"! 3 link front with an upgraded steering stabilizer, track bar, etc... You won't find a more flexible XJ! It also has quick release front stabilizer pins with storage mounts to hand them out of the way. This makes it easy to switch from the trail to the road. In Colorado you have to drive several miles on the road to get to the next trail system at times. Interior Seats are in great shape with no flaws or stains. No smoking in it. Cruise even works! Air doesn't (who needs air...windows down in a Jeep) Rear carpet has some staining from trail usage (carrying spare driveshafts and jack etc. Has a fully charged fire extinguisher Headliner is like it should be (still up and clean) The carpet has been removed and sprayed with bedliner. The door handle on the drivers side inside needs replaced. ( you can still get in and out) No foul smells. actually smells good! overall this Jeep is a super option for the hardcore Jeep guy or the new to Jeep guy. It is ready to be a daily driver (20MPG on the hwy!), or it would be perfectly happy being a fully dedicated trail rig. Whatever your plan is for it, it will be ready! I have copies of all the receipts that were spent at the 4x4 shop. Over $10,000 worth in parts. You would be crazy to build one. It would cost you double what you can buy this one for. Once again, this is not going to win the local show and shine award, but I will promise you that you won't find a better head turner, and even more importantly, a rig that will go where this one will! I have the auction ending before the 4th of July! Buy it now and have it ready for the weekend!! Call 319-231-8974 or text with questions. The Jeep is located in Waverly, Ia. I will work with shippers, but won't set up the shipping. I collect a $750 deposit within 48 hours of the end of the auction. The Jeep must be paid within 7 days of the auction close or it will be re listed. No games. I'm sure if you have read this far, you can picture yourself riding through the trails in this beauty!!! Or the Hwy!! |

Car Club USA: Louisiana Mudfest
Tue, Jun 16 2015There'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
Toledo gets proactive in fight to keep Jeep Wrangler
Wed, 08 Oct 2014Let's make this very plain - the city of Toledo, OH loves its Jeeps. It loves them so fervently that the very rumor of the Jeep Wrangler moving out of its traditional home prompted the city's mayor, D. Michael Collins, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich to hold a weekend conference call with Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne.
"The purpose of this call was for the mayor and governor to gain clarity on Mr. Marchionne's comments last week regarding the possibility of the next generation of Jeep Wrangler being built at a location other than the Toledo North Assembly Plant," a spokesman for the mayor's office told The Toledo Blade.
While no further commitments were made by any party, Collins and Kasich's statement was quite unequivocal about keeping Toledo's unwillingness to let the Wrangler go, saying "the city and its partners will again rise to the occasion to ensure that the new Wrangler is made in Toledo." According to the newspaper, the next step is for face-to-face meetings between officials from Ohio and FCA.
NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022
Thu, Mar 17 2016The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.
