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.

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. |

Stellantis reports surprising 2020 results, is 'off to a flying start'
Wed, Mar 3 2021MILAN — Low global car inventories and cost cuts should boost Stellantis's profit margins this year, though a shortage of semiconductors and investments in electric vehicles could weigh on results, the newly-formed automaker said on Wednesday. The forecast came as Stellantis, created by the January merger of Peugeot-maker PSA and Fiat Chrysler (FCA), reported better-than-expected results for 2020 that sent its shares up around 3% in morning trading. "Stellantis gets off to a flying start and is fully focused on achieving the full promised synergies (from the merger)," Chief Executive Carlos Tavares said in a statement. Stellantis is the world's fourth largest carmaker, with 14 brands including Fiat, Peugeot, Opel, Jeep, Ram and Maserati. It said 2021 results should be helped by three new high-margin Jeep vehicles in North America and a strong pricing environment there. The U.S. market has driven profits for years at FCA and starts off as the strongest part of Stellantis. The group's guidance assumes no more significant lockdowns caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic, which shuttered auto plants around the world last spring. Stellantis should also get a lift as its starts to implement a plan aimed at delivering over 5 billion euros a year in savings, without closing any plants. Tavares has also pledged not to cut jobs. But a pandemic-related global shortage of semiconductors, used for everything from maximizing engine fuel economy to driver-assistance features, could hurt business. Auto industry executives have said the shortage should ease by the second half of 2021. Stellantis said its "electrification offensive" could also weigh on results this year. Automakers are racing to develop electric vehicles to meet tighter CO2 emissions targets in Europe and this week Volvo joined a growing number of carmakers aiming for a fully-electric line-up by 2030. Stellantis plans to have fully-electric or hybrid versions of all of its vehicles available in Europe by 2025, broadly in line with plans at top rivals such as Volkswagen and Renault-Nissan, although Stellantis has further to go to meet that goal. The carmaker is targeting an adjusted operating profit margin of 5.5%-7.5% this year. That compares with a 5.3% aggregated margin last year: 4.3% at FCA and 7.1% at PSA excluding a controlling stake in parts maker Faurecia, which is set to be spun-off from Stellantis shortly.
EU finds Jeep Grand Cherokee and Suzuki Vitara break emissions rules
Thu, Jan 23 2020AMSTERDAM — Fiat Chrysler's Jeep Grand Cherokee and Suzuki's Vitara diesel models both break emissions rules and must be fixed or face a ban on sales across Europe, the Dutch road authority ruled on Thursday. The RDW authority, acting as the reference regulator for across the European Union, said Jeep had developed a software fix and that the authority had ordered the company to recall the model across Europe to roll it out. It added Suzuki had yet to find a credible solution for the Vitara. "Suzuki must come with adequate improvement measures or the RDW will begin the process of revoking its European type approval," the RDW said in a statement, adding it had also started the process of revoking approval for the Jeep Grand Cherokee as a "precautionary measure." Regulators across the world have been testing diesel models since Volkswagen admitted in 2015 that it used illegal software to cheat U.S. emissions tests. The RDW said it had found both the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Vitara had used "prohibited emissions strategies" that led them to emit higher levels of harmful nitrogen oxide (NOx) on the road than under testing conditions. Dutch State Secretary for Infrastructure, Stientje van Veldhoven, said in a letter to parliament she would inform prosecutors of the RDW's findings. Fiat Chrysler and Suzuki could not immediately be reached for comment. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
FCA CEO Mike Manley will run Americas for Stellantis after PSA merger
Sun, Dec 20 2020DETROIT — Fiat Chrysler CEO Mike Manley will run operations in the Americas when his company merges with FranceÂ’s PSA Peugeot early next year. FCA Chairman John Elkann announced ManleyÂ’s new post on Friday in a letter to employees. ManleyÂ’s role in the merged company had been a mystery. PSA CEO Carlos Tavares will run the overall company, to be named Stellantis. Shareholders of both companies will vote on the merger Jan. 4 to seal the deal creating the worldÂ’s fourth-largest automaker. The merger is expected to be completed by the end of March. PSA will get six seats on the new companyÂ’s 11-member board, which will be chaired by Elkann. The Americas, especially the U.S., are key to the new companyÂ’s success. Fiat ChryslerÂ’s Jeep and Ram brands are highly profitable, and Tavares has long wanted to sell PSA vehicles in the U.S. Manley has been the Italian-American automakerÂ’s CEO for 2 1/2 years, taking over when Sergio Marchionne died in 2018. Stellantis will have the capacity to produce 8.7 million cars a year, just behind Volkswagen, the Renault-Nissan alliance and Toyota.
