111,xxx miles, Shell Rotella synthetic run for the last 11k. Engine has received a stellar bill of health via oil analysis from Blackstone labs. Motor was recently tuned up (plugs, wires, cap, rotor) and I installed a new distributer at the same time. Jeep was lifted/axle swapped at 100k miles, I've owned the jeep since 86k, and have worked on it since ~60k miles. I bought it from a friend and I am the third owner. Maintenance was always done on time; it was dealer maintained by the first owner. The Jeep has been wheeled but never beaten on. There are only 3 actual wheeling trips on this rig.

99+ intake manifold
THOR cowl intake
APN header

AW4 filter screen replaced and fluid flushed last summer, temp gauge and external cooler fluid installed and it runs at 100F on the highway, never gets into the yellow around town.
New A/C compressor but the system has a slow leak somewhere, I charge it up in late May and it lasts the whole summer (works great when charged).

Front axle:
1978 ford HP44
5.13 Yukon gears, OX locker, Reid knuckles, Nitro alloy shafts and 760x joints
Parts Mike highsteer knuckle on passenger side for true crossover steering

Rear axle:
late 80s ford D60-ISU
5.13 Yukon gears, Lock-Right locker, disc brake kit (Ford 1/2 ton rotors, 1/2 ton chevy calipers, Impala SS pads), factory 35 spline shafts, Ballistic cover and axle bridge

Suspension:
Rock Krawler 4 link kit, Deaver 5.5 coils and Deaver G9 leaf springs... the best you can buy for a Cherokee XJ
HDOffroad shackle relocators and RE 1.5" shackles
Custom valved Bilstein 9100 shocks... 11" travel 2.5 weld top fronts with remote resi and 13" travel 2.0 rears with remote resi. rear shocks are threaded for coilover hardware.
Prothane bumpstops

I also added a Dodge 2500 master cylinder and Wilwood adjustable proportioning valve for extra power and adjustment of the bigger brakes.

Jeep is plated front to back with HDOffroad stiffeners, with extra stiffening on the inside, outside, and bottom of steering box area. Jeep is also caged (not finished) with a hybrid-style cage using 1.75x.120 DOM tube. Rockers were cut out and replaced with 2x5x.25 wall box tube.

Other extras include a TNT belly skid, DPG gas tank skid, JCR corner guards with LEDs, Dirtbound Offroad rear bumper, and custom front bumper/crossmember replacement. The factory front crossmember was cut out and was replaced with the 2x5x.25" box tube front end. It is also drilled and ready for a winch to be mounted behind the bumper. Headlights are Hella DOT H4 headlight upgrades with harness, and there are Hella micro DE fog lamps cut into the front bumper. I added LED rock lights and reverse lights as well as a LED lightbar (which may or may not be included with the jeep, depending on purchase price). There is a prime4x4 switch panel in the jeep as well as a marine fuse box in the engine bay for extra accessories. Also has heated mirrors, factory overhead console, LED interior lights, and a Viper remote start/keyless entry system. Sub/Headunit/Speakers may or may not be included depending on selling price. Sub is a 10" Rockford P3 driven by an Infinity amp, Kenwood Excelon deck w/iPod control, and (4) Polk db 6.5" speakers. C02 tank and tow rope show in trunk NOT INCLUDED. Has brand new hatch struts.

Tires are 35" MTZs on H2 wheels, tires were bought new when the lift was installed.

I have extra parts/spares/fab parts and DOM tube which can be added to the jeep as well when it sells. I have a spare 35" BFG AT with 30-40% tread left on another H2 wheel as a spare, and have a 35" MTZ with 10-20% tread unmounted.

I built this Jeep to be able to drive across the country, go offroad, and drive back home. It was built for 37" tires and will handle those comfortably. It can drive on the highway at 75 MPH without issue.... No vibes, no wobbles. It is very easy to drive and it 100% daily-driveable. It has it quirks like all built Cherokees do, but nothing major. The doors have been modded for easy removal so they are a bit out of alignment but shut just fine normally, there are a few dents/scratches but the Jeep is very clean outside and in. The windshield has a crack but it still passes inspection. The rear is a bit lower than the front right now, but all that needs to be done to fix this is move the shackles forward one hole on the brackets and shims added to the rear to set the pinion angle. This Jeep is a joy to drive onroad and off, but I don't use it anymore so it is time for it to go. I may be forgetting a few details here and there, feel free to ask. Price is negotiable, can include/remove pieces to change price.

Jeep follows up Super Bowl spot with call to help the USO

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Once again, Chrysler had one of the most talked about Super Bowl commercials with its two-minute Whole Again Jeep spot, which was used to highlight its Operation SAFE Return program for US military personnel returning home from active duty. As part of this campaign, Jeep announced today that it will be donating up to $300,000 to the United Services Organizations (USO), and you can help.
Simply tweet using the #joinOSR hashtag on Twitter, visit the Yahoo! homepage or go to the Jeep Operation SAFE Return website, and Jeep will donate $1 to a fund that provides returning troops things like employment assistance and incentives to buy new vehicles. Jeep is also donating to this charity to the tune of $250 for each Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited (including the Freedom Edition model) and Jeep Patriot Freedom Edition model sold.

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.

Jeep recalls 92k Grand Cherokee SUVs over electrical issue

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Chrysler is recalling 91,559 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs from the 2014 model year due to some serious electrical issues. All of the affected models were built between January 8 and August 20, 2013.
The NHTSA report states that, "Due to a disruption of computer communications and loose alternator ground wires, the affected vehicles may experience random illumination of multiple instrument cluster warning lights, loss of cluster illumination and loss of anti-lock brake system (ABS) and electronic stability control (ESC) function." The loss of ABS or ESC would greatly reduce a driver's ability to control the vehicle if things get squirrely, and since these failures would not be illuminated on the dashboard display, drivers would not be warned of the issue, increasing the risk of a crash.
The recall is expected to kick off sometime this month. Chrysler will notify affected Jeep owners and dealerships "will update the ABS and instrument cluster module software and tighten the alternator ground wire," according to NHTSA.
