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.

Weekly Recap: Lamborghini fires on all cylinders

Sat, Jan 31 2015

Lamborghini added 192 technicians and specialists in 2014 as the Italian automaker expands under the ambitious growth strategy of parent company Volkswagen AG. The additional workers helped Lamborghini increase its sales 19 percent last year to 2,530 supercars, and further expansion is planned for this year. Lambo has added more than 500 people in the last four years, bringing its headcount to 1,175. "Lamborghini is undergoing a strong phase of growth in both sales and in terms of recruitment," CEO Stephan Winkelmann said in a statement. "We invest significantly in our people ... in 2015 we plan to hire further." The supercar maker's solid performance last year came during a time of transition. Lambo sold off the final 265 Gallardos, which were the brand's best-selling models ever. Its 10-cylinder successor, the Huracan, immediately filled the void. It garnered 3,300 orders, and 1,137 of them were delivered in 2014. The other Lamborghini, the 12-cylinder Aventador, saw its sales increase 13 percent to 1,128 copies. The sales leap comes as Volkswagen drives sales expansion across its portfolio of brands. The German carmaker sold 10 million vehicles around the world for the first time last year. Though Lambo will never make supercars in great numbers, it is expected to contribute to VW's bottom line through its image and profitable sales. Look for further growth this year, and a Super Veloce version (shown above) of the Aventador has already been spotted during testing. Lamborghini has been working on a sport utility vehicle for years, though the company has never publicly approved the project. It also showed a hybrid, the Asterion, at last year's Paris Motor show, suggesting the automaker is considering an electric future. Other News and Notes GMC ponders Jeep Wrangler fighter GMC is considering adding a competitor to the Jeep Wrangler and has discussed the idea with its dealers, according to the Wall Street Journal. Details of the vehicle are unclear, but the report suggested the vehicle could have cues from General Motors' old Hummer brand. The move would broaden GMC's lineup of trucks and SUVs and attract new customers. GMC sold 501,853 vehicles in 2014, making it GM's second-best selling brand. GMC had more volume than Cadillac and Buick combined, though it's still well behind Chevrolet's tally of more than two million vehicles. The notion of a "Wrangler fighter" could be a moving target.

Weekly Recap: Matthew McConaughey's star shines brightly for Lincoln

Sat, Jan 3 2015

The commercials were a little strange at first, but the ensuing spoofs were hilarious. And all jokes aside, Matthew McConaughey has made a difference for Lincoln. Advertisements starring the Oscar winner launched in September, and the results have been impressive. The number of customers clicking on Lincoln.com to check out the MKC – the crossover McConaughey pitched – has tripled since the ads began airing, a spokesman told Autoblog. They also generated 4.4 million views on YouTube and spawned parodies by Ellen DeGeneres, Conan O'Brien, South Park and Jim Carrey on Saturday Night Live, which racked up another 15 million views. Most importantly, Lincoln's sales have increased 15 percent through November, helped significantly by the strong launch of the MKC. Without the addition of the MKC, Lincoln's sales would have been essentially flat last year. The MKC has received solid reviews from consumers and the press, though it has had several recalls. "The overwhelming response to the MKC campaign sparked truly great awareness for Lincoln," Andrew Frick, Lincoln group marketing manager, said in a statement. Now Lincoln has launched another round of spots, which kicked off New Year's Day during college football bowl games. This time, McConaughey is hawking the MKZ sedan and its hybrid sibling. The spots, called Diner and Balance, use the same artistic formula as the earlier ads, with McConaughey intoning seriously about the cars in dramatic settings. They were shot over two days in Los Angeles and were directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, a Danish filmmaker who directed the 2011 move, Drive. The ads continue Lincoln's multiyear deal with McConaughey, who has said he's been long been interested in the brand. He starred in the 2011 thriller, The Lincoln Lawyer, as a defense attorney who worked out of a Town Car, though that was before his deal with Lincoln. In one of the earlier ads, McConaughey claims: "I've been driving a Lincoln since long before anybody paid me to drive one. I didn't do it to be cool. I didn't to it to make a statement. I just liked it." That sentiment appears to have worked for the MKC's launch, and with this new advertising blitz, Lincoln hopes it carries over to the MKZ.
