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.

Why Mopar won't release a factory lift kit for the new Jeep Cherokee

Thu, 24 Apr 2014

The Jeep Cherokee Dakar concept showed off at the 2014 Easter Jeep Safari made a lot of online friends, even the Cherokee naysayers assenting that there's a monster Jeep underneath the Cherokee's skin if you're willing to go in and get it. But after reading Road & Track's write-up of what went into creating the Dakar, particularly its lift, you'll understand why you'll probably never see the components for it in the Jeep Performance Parts catalog.
The concept's press release mentions a "prototype Jeep Performance Parts lift kit, and additional suspension modifications." The short-story explanation is that the front struts on the standard Cherokee weren't engineered to accept any amount of lift, so the long story begins with the phrase, "an entirely new suspension." Head over to RT to read the details, and don't be afraid to ogle the Cherokee Dakar gallery and another awesome Jeep fancy that won't likely crawl over the hurdles imposed by production reality.

Chrysler recalling over 200k vehicles across its brands

Wed, 10 Apr 2013

With more than 200,000 units across six separate recalls and almost all of its brands, it appears that Chrysler has officially jumped headfirst into the recall pool this month. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued three official recalls for the automaker, and The Detroit News is reporting that the automaker itself has announced three more.
The biggest of the recalls applies to about 120,000 Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger and Chrysler 300 models for 2011 and 2012 due to faulty wiring harnesses for the seat-mounted side airbags, which could lead to these airbags not deploying in the event of a crash. A little more than 60,000 two-wheel-drive versions of the 2007-2008 Dodge Nitro and 2008 Jeep Liberty SUVs are being recalled due to a heat shield that could cause the driveshaft to break, which if that isn't bad on its own, could then hit underneath where the airbag sensor is mounted, causing the airbags to deploy. Wrapping up NHTSA's recall notices, about 20,000 Jeep Patriot and Jeep Compass models for 2012 are also being recalled due to a problem with the fuel tank transfer tube that could lead to the vehicle stalling. The LX car recall campaign is going into effect this month, while the other two will start next month - all three notices are posted below.
In addition to the official NHTSA recalls, The Detroit News is also reporting that Chrysler is recalling more than 16,000 Ram trucks and a small number of Dodge Dart sedans. Around 6,500 2013 Ram 1500 trucks will be recalled due to an improper adjustment of the parking brake cable from the factory, while 7,000 Cummins-powered 2013 Ram Heavy Duty trucks are being recalled due to an engine cover that does not have as much heat resistance as it is supposed to. Finally, a total of 46 Dodge Dart sedans are being recalled due to a problem with the brake calipers and/or parking brake.

2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4X4

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Ice skates are spectacular on frozen water, yet they are dreadful everyday footwear. I consider the Jeep Wrangler equally as specialized.
I recently spent a week with a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4X4. Introduced for the 2007 model year, the Wrangler Unlimited is a standard JK two-door with 20.6 inches added to its wheelbase and two additional doors bolted to its passenger compartment. While Jeep offers the Unlimited in seven different trim levels, the desirable Rubicon is the most capable when the pavement ends, as it boasts a slew of hardcore off-road tools including front and rear electronic locking differentials and a front sway bar that can be disengaged at the touch of a button for improved articulation. My I-Look-Like-A-Traffic-Cone test model started with a base price of $34,095 (plus $995 destination). Options including a five-speed automatic transmission, Uconnect, tow package and a premium soft top, drove the bottom line up to $38,630.
