2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport, 5spd, 120,xxx miles. Roof has been cut off and full 2" tubed roll cage has been custom built ($3,000). Rusty's 6.5" lift with drop pitman arm on 35x12.50 BFG Mud Terrains and AR 15" steel rims (less than 3,000 miles). Custom front and rear bumpers, Bushwacker fender flares have also been installed. It currently has a K&N cold air intake and throttle body spacer, I also have a brand new snorkel that can be added. The Jeep also has all brand new smoked lights other than the headlights and two Hella 6" lights mounted on front bumper that need to be re-wired since painted.

The Jeep was hit by a falling tree which caved the roof a bit. The jeep still ran straight and well, so I decided to cut the roof off and add the roll cage. The windshield pillars drop about 1" from one side to the other, but is currently welded to the roll cage, so they will not move anymore. Windshield will need to be replaced as there is a long crack in it. I replaced the front quarter panels, hood and grill as well. The entire vehicle was then sanded down and sprayed with a bluish gray epoxy primer which won't rust out. The color has grown on me, but you could paint it if you wanted to. The rear has been modified since the epoxy primer was sprayed on, therefore you will see a little bit of rust in the pics where we cut the tailgate in order to mount the spare tire Baja style.

The interior is in good shape. There are a few burn holes in the rear seat form when we welded in the 4-point harnesses for the front seats. The entire inside of the jeep has been rhino lined and I have also drilled a few holes in the floor for the water to exit. The windows and door locks DO NOT work. it seems like a waste since there is no top for this rig. Doors are now half doors. All lights and blinkers work.

I bought this Jeep in Virginia back in 2008. I am the 3rd owner and it has never seen a winter. The frame is in great shape, as well as the body. There is no rot on this Jeep.

This Jeep is a head turner. There isn't another one like it where I live and there are Jeeps everywhere. People are constantly wondering what exactly it is and some don't believe me when I tell them it is an XJ.

Please bid with confidence. This jeep is in great running condition and has a ton of life left in her. You will enjoy this rig in the woods, on the beach or even just driving around town. Keep in mind this is a lifted vehicle. It shakes around 35-40mph, but not bad. I also have driven this vehicle on the interstate and it does fine.

Please feel free to message me with any questions. Winner will assume all responsibility for shipping costs (located in Hartford, VT 05001), but I don't mind helping logistically if I can. I know I am leaving things out, so again, please ask.

Chrysler investing $20M in Toledo plant to support 9-speed auto production

Sun, 28 Apr 2013

In 2011, Chrysler announced a $72-million investment in its Toledo Machining Plant to modernize production of the eight- and nine-speed torque-converters for automatic transmissions made there. That upgrade work won't be finished until Q3 of this year, but Chrysler has already announced a further $19.6-million investment to increase production capacity for the nine-speeders.
The extra units will be necessary because the nine-speed transmission they'll be mated to is going into three popular models: it will debut on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, then go into the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart. The company predicted that this year alone it would sell 200,000 units equipped with the nine-speed tranny, and it is spending some $374 million in addition to the investment in Toledo to upgrade production capacity for it.
The work attached to this new investment won't begin until Q3 of 2014, and it will be finished by the end of that year. There's a press release below with all the details.

Daily Driver: 2015 Jeep Renegade Sport 4x4

Fri, Jul 10 2015

Daily Driver videos are micro-reviews of vehicles in the Autoblog test fleet, reviewed by the staffers who drive them every day. Today's Daily Driver features the 2015 Jeep Renegade Sport 4x4, reviewed by Adam Morath. Something to note: The vehicle tested here is a pre-production unit, and we had some issues with the MySky removable roof system. (Associate editor Brandon Turkus mentioned these problems in his Quick Spin.) FCA confirms that improvements were made for production-spec cars. You can watch the video above or read a transcript below. Watch more Autoblog videos at /videos. [00:00:00] Hey, this is Adam Morath with another Daily Driver. Today, we're in the 2015 Jeep Renegade and I'm excited to be driving this in a Sport trim level. That's the lowest trim that they offer it in. I say I'm excited, because often we get the cars to totally spec-ed out to the max, the automaker trying to show off what they can do with the car but it doesn't always give you a realistic view of how most customers are going to spec the car, and I think with the Renegade being the entry-level model for Jeep now [00:00:30] replacing the outgoing Patriot and Compass, it makes sense to drive this in the Sport trim. We do have it in 4x4, comes in at just around $23,000. It's powered by a turbocharged 1.4 liter inline 4 and we've got it, made it to the 6-speed manual transmission, which is pretty cool. Again you can see FCA's fingerprints on this car. If they wanted to do well in Europe, of course you've got to offer it with a manual and that's nice for consumers here to have that choice of having a stick shift in the Jeep again. [00:01:00] That's kind of fun. It produces 160-horsepower, 184 pound-feet of torque. It's got a little pack to it. I wouldn't call it sporty but it's enough for a vehicle of this size. This is a pretty basic version of the renegade. The only options we have on it are the AC, the roof rails, 4-wheel drive, which is a must here in Michigan and then these MySky roof panels, which I'll get to in a minute, but that takes us from a base price of $18,000, the cheapest you'll be able to get into a Renegade for [00:01:30] up to about $23,700, which is where we're at. Yes, these are MySky roof panels. It's a totally new feature on the Renegade that Jeep is trying out and I think it's pretty cool. It's like a tee top system, except the panels aren't side by side. You have one in the front and one in the back.

Jeep will show new Grand Wagoneer to dealers this summer

Mon, Jun 8 2015

It's generally accepted that the Jeep Cherokee was the first real midsize sport utility vehicle to make headway into the hearts, minds and driveways of American consumers in 1984. While that SUV was aimed at the mainstream, it could be argued that the vehicle that made the idea of a luxury SUV possible was the seminal Jeep Grand Wagoneer. We've been hearing rumblings of a revived Grand Wagoneer for years, but if a report from Automotive News is accurate (despite the fact that it seemingly contradicts an earlier report from the same outlet), the wait may nearly be over. Jeep plans to show off its new Grand Wagoneer at the upcoming dealer show in Las Vegas in August, and while that doesn't give any real indication of when such a vehicle may make it into the hands of consumers, such news probably at least means the automaker has a finalized design. While we're mostly over retro-inspired cars, we'll happily cast a vote toward a three-row Grand Wagoneer with faux woodie body sides, if anyone cares to tally it...
