This is a one of kind Jeep Cherokee.  This Jeep was custom built Marsfab Off road (marsfab.com) in Harrisburg Nc.  The jeep was built to compete in the E.C.O.R.S. (ecors.com) race series.  No expense was spared building this rig.  Its a top competitor.  

Drivetrain: engine is a jeep 4.0 with several mods done.  The intake manifold and throttle body were custom ported by Newcomer Racing (newcomerracing.com).  Its got 4 hole ford fuel injectors.  The air intake was ran through the firewall to the interior.  Its got a remote mounted oil filter that runs through a large oil cooler.  Engine has custom mount plates and motor mounts by Brown Dog  Industries (browndogindustries.com).  Engine has a stainless steel header that exits through custom built exhaust.  Transmission is an AW4 that is pretty much stock except having the line pressures raised slightly.  The transmission is cooled by a remote mounted cooler with its own electric fan.  All transmission lines have been rerouted to keep from being smashed by suspension components (common on cherokees used for off road racing).

Axles: Front axle is a dana 30.  The houseing has been heavily trussed with 3/8ths plate to keep from bending and breaking.  The inner c's have been gusseted also.  The steering is made up of 7/8ths heim joints and 1.5 inch .25 wall dom tubing.  All of the steering mounting points are mounted double sheer.  The rear axle is a ford 8.8 with disc brakes.  

Suspension: The front suspension is a custom marsfab offroad long arm set up with Barnes4wd Enduro joints.  The front also has Fox 2.0 remote reservoir shocks and fox 2.0 4" travel air bump stops.  To round out the front suspension there is also custom torsional sway bar.  In the rear the jeeps got leaf springs mounted with Liquid Iron Industries slider boxes in place of the factory shackles.  The rear also has Fox 2.0 remote reservoir shocks.  All the shocks have been custom valved and tuned by Carolina Truggies.

Chassis:  This jeep has a one off custom roll cage.  The cage ties into the unibody front to rear to really stiffen the body of the jeep.  The cage also passes through the firewall and attaches to shock and bump mount area to stiffen the front end up.  There are custom built chassis stiffeners on the bottom side of the jeep also.  The interior has been completely stripped from the jeep.  Now the inside contains Hunsaker Racing suspension seats mounted into the cage.  Its got Racequip 5 point harnesses.  There is a custom built aluminum gauge pod.  Its also got a Whelen siren inplace of the horn.  Really helps when your trying to pass other competitors.  Its got a quick release steering too.

Misc:  Jeeps got bladder style 32 gallon fuel cell.  To meet the rules for most race series all fluids have been run to custom built catch cans.  The jeeps got a 8000# winch mounted to custom prerunner style bumper.  Its got hid off road lights up front.  Tow points front and rear.  Custom mounted spare tire and high lift jack.  First aid kit and fire extinguishers.  33x12.50x15 general grabber red label tires.

The list goes on and on.  Im sure I am forgetting some things.  All in all this is a great race rig or weekend warrior.  You could not buy all the parts on it for the buy it now price let alone all the materials and labor in fab time.  My loss is your gain.

Chrysler recalling nearly half a million Durangos and Grand Cherokees

Fri, Feb 27 2015

Rule number one of public relations – save the bad news for Friday. Fiat Chrysler has adhered to that, announcing today that it'd be voluntarily recalling 467,480 SUVs. This latest recall could actually be thought of as a continuation of a September 2014 recall, relating to the fuel-cell relay. In that case, some 188,723 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee CUVs from model year 2011 were recalled. And this time, it's the Durango and GC in trouble again. FCA is adding crossovers from model years 2012 and 2013 to the fuel-pump recall, although only diesel-powered Jeeps with the 3.0-liter V6 that were sold outside of North America are affected this time around. As with the previous recall, deformities in the fuel-pump relay, which could affect its functioning. In most cases, FCA reports that the affected vehicles simply won't start, although they also could be prone to stalling. A new relay circuit will be installed that promises increase durability. Of the 467,480 vehicles being recalled, 338,216 were sold in the US market, 18,991 went to Canada and 10,829 were shipped south of the border, to Mexico. Outside of the NAFTA region, FCA is recalling 99,444 vehicles. No injuries or accidents have been associated with this recall. Statement: Fuel-Pump Relay February 27, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 467,480 SUVs worldwide to install new a relay circuit that improves fuel-pump relay durability. FCA US engineers have determined a condition identified in a previous investigation may extend to additional vehicles. The previous investigation, which led to a recall, traced a pattern of repairs to fuel-pump relays that are susceptible to deformation. This may affect fuel-pump function, preventing a vehicle from starting, or leading to engine stall. Of the two scenarios, the no-start condition is the more common. FCA US is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. The fuel-pump relay is located inside the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM), which also helps manage other vehicle functions. None of these other functions, including air-bag deployment, is affected by the fuel-pump relay. The new campaign affects an estimated 338,216 vehicles in the U.S.; 18,991 in Canada; 10,829 in Mexico and 99,444 outside the NAFTA region. Covered are model-year 2012 and 2013 Dodge Durango full-size SUVs and non-NAFTA 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee mid-size SUVs equipped with 3.0-liter diesel engines.

2014 Jeep Cherokee gets official in a hurry

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

Automakers work very, very hard to keep their new vehicles under wraps until they can present them in exactly the way they want it - typically choreographed under the bright lights of an auto show, or perhaps with photos or video in an idyllic location. Spy shooters and leaks, in other words, keep executives and public-relations types up at night.
This is likely to be one of the most polarizing designs to come out in 2014.
Take today, for instance, when the team over at Jalopnik got a big scoop - the first undisguised shots of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, a model whose name wasn't even officially confirmed yet. The clandestine images taken inside of a factory were blurry and didn't exactly show off the crossover's radical new contours in the same sort of flattering light that Jeep probably would've wished for its product reveal. So the Auburn Hills automaker has wisely reacted by spilling at least some of the beans on the new model, giving us these four photos and confirming the Liberty replacement's name, Cherokee.

Macron and Le Pen decry 'shocking' Stellantis CEO pay

Mon, Apr 18 2022

PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron and his far-right challenger in the French presidential vote, Marine Le Pen, on Friday both decried as “shocking” the multimillion euro payout to the CEO of carmaker Stellantis. Stellantis CEO Carlos TavaresÂ’ remuneration package of 19.15 million euros just a year after the company was formed became an issue as Macron and Le Pen campaigned ahead of the April 24 runoff vote. Polls show purchasing power and inflation are a top voter concern. Stellantis was formed last year through the merger of PSA Peugeot and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Centrist President Emmanuel Macron, perceived by many voters as being too pro-business, called the pay package “astronomical” and pushed for a Europe-wide effort to set ceilings on “abusive” executive pay. “ItÂ’s shocking, itÂ’s excessive,” he said Friday on broadcaster France-Info. “People canÂ’t have problems with purchasing power, difficulties, the anguish theyÂ’re living with, and see these sums. Otherwise, society will explode.” Far-right leader Marine Le Pen, who enjoys support from many working-class voters, called for bringing in more workers as shareholders. “Of course itÂ’s shocking, and itÂ’s even more shocking when it is the CEOs who have pushed their society into difficulty,” she said Friday on BFM television. “One of the ways to diminish this pay, which is often out of proportion with economic life, is perhaps to allow workers in as shareholders.” Stellantis continued to back the package despite a 52.1% to 47.9% vote rejecting it at an annual shareholders' meeting chaired from the Netherlands, where the company is legally based, on Wednesday. The company, citing Dutch civil code, noted that the vote is advisory and not binding. The company later said in a statement that it took note of the vote, and will explain in an upcoming 2022 remuneration report “how this vote has been taken into account.” In the 2021 report, the company identified peer group companies that it used as a salary benchmark, including U.S. companies like Boeing, Exxon Mobile, General Electric as well as carmakers Ford and General Motors. Stellantis, whose brands include Peugeot, Fiat, Jeep, Opel and Maserati, reported net profits last year had tripled to 13.4 billion euros ($15.2 billion). The French government is the third-largest shareholder in Stellantis, with a 6.15% stake through the Bpifrance Participations S.A. French public investment bank.
