built jeep cherokee $8,000 obo


 i've owned it for the last 7 years and its been great to me  as both a daily driver and weekend warrior. oil was changed every 3000 miles since around 50k when i bought it, 142xxx now, i'm only the 2nd owner. i hate to get rid of it but i'm way to tight on cash for the way life's hitting me and i can no longer afford to own two jeeps. mechanically she runs great, low miles for a 4.0l, practically every sensor has been replaced over the years. about a year ago the fuel pump/sending unit was replaced.  also about 6-9 months ago the cylinder head was replaced. 2000-2001 were notorious for cracking cylinder heads, it was replaced with a new "tully" casting head for a 2003 wrangler which is much heavier duty/desirable. work was done by a licensed mechanic. the jeep was recently tuned up with OEM spark plugs and a replaced ignition rail.


this jeep is very well built, its almost finished with the second stage of the build. it had a small lift and 33" back when i started planing for the build its at right now.

the stock axles have been replaced, the front: with a high pinion dana 30, its got a TnT fab. truss,TEN Factory chromoly shafts, eaton ECTED limited slip/ full time selectable locker, rock crusher differential cover,4:88 gear ratio and heavy duty over the knuckle steering. the rear: is an original xj dana 44, its been converted to disc brakes, has .5" u-bolt eliminators for spring perches, a detroit tru-track limited slip (very aggressive limited slip but much more "street-able" than a full case locker) it also has a rock crusher differential cover, and 4:88 gears. both axles were built with no brackets hanging below the axle tubes for ultra-high clearance. buying and building these axles (after paying for welding and gear/locker installation) cost me well over 6 grand alone, and they've only seen about 3,000 miles of daily driving and 1 off road trip where they performed awesome.

 

the suspension is a hybrid 5"-5.5" lift, the front has about an inch of lift built into the truss and 4.5" rubicon express coils, there are blown rubicon express mono tube shocks installed right now but i have brand new bilstein 5100 shocks that will be included in the purchase, it also has a Clayton's off road heavy duty 3 link long arm with rebuildable Johnny-joints, the rear is 4.5" rubicon express leaf springs and 1" JKS lift shackles, bilstein B6 shocks, there are also crown 6"+ extended break lines


the rear quarters/tail lights have JCR quarter armor and LED tail lights, the rear bumper/tire carrier is RigidCo and the front bumper is an ORFab that was cut down into a "stubby" bumper to allow clearence for the 35" tires


the tires/ wheels are 35x12.50 BFGoodrich Km2's mounted on 15"x8" black steel wheels they have had one off road trip on my other jeep (some small rock rash on the wheels from this one trip)and only driven on the road to get to the trail that once, these are practically still brand new, still have some of the little nub's from production left on them, these tires and wheels were over 2 grand when i bought them a little over a year ago


this jeep isn't perfect, it was used off road, carpets have been removed and replaced with bed liner, there are dents and scratches and some minor things that could use fixing, front end pulls right a little but it is in need of a front end alignment


right now the jeep is unregistered so test driving on  the road isn't much of an option except up and down my street


i have well over $25,000 "invested" in this jeep, obviously i never expect to get this back, i never planed on selling it, but i think for all the work done and parts put into it it is well worth the price im asking

2023 Detroit Auto Show Mega Photo Gallery: All the new reveals and first looks

Wed, Sep 13 2023

The 2023 Detroit Auto Show didn’t play host to a lot of reveals, but on top of the new cars that were revealed there, automakers brought a whole bunch of cars we havenÂ’t seen in person yet. In a show of home strength, all the big reveals came from the hometown Big Three, with Ford, GM and Stellantis playing host to the most important unveilings. We took Huntington Place by storm to capture all of the new cars and sights to see in Detroit, and you can see everything we did in the series of galleries below. Interesting special editions like the 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning Platinum Black Edition and the 2024 Chevrolet Camaro CollectorÂ’s Edition found some floor space alongside bigger debuts like the refreshed gasoline-powered F-150 and 2024 Jeep Gladiator with its new interior. If you wanted to see it all yourself, make sure you check out our guide on how to attend the public show days.

Marchionne uses racial epithet to describe what must power future Alfa Romeo models

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

Sergio Marchionne and his Fiat empire have a lot riding on the US return of the Alfa Romeo brand. The endeavor has been in progress for what feels like a lifetime - certainly for as long as Fiat has had the Chrysler brand under its Italian wing.
It's not surprising that Fiat CEO Marchionne needs a perfect first Alfa to mark a return to America. And here's where things get dicey. Nobody would argue with Marchionne's insistence that Alfa Romeo's be powered by Italian engines - as Marchionne himself is quoted to have said at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, "There are some things that are well done in Italy."
If not what he said, then, it's how he said it that has eyebrows raised. "I cannot come up with a schlock product, I just won't. I won't put an American engine into that car. With all due respect to my American friends, it needs to be a wop engine." Wait, what's that?

Jeep first American carmaker to return to Tokyo show

Sat, May 23 2015

Despite foreign-brand car sales in Japan declining six percent in the first four months of this year, Jeep sales are up 21 percent in the same period. That could explain why Jeep will be the first the US manufacturer to return to the Tokyo Motor Show after eight years away. Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler walked away during the global crisis that struck after the 2007 show. Jeep will be part of an eight-vehicle, four-brand showcase overseen by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Japan, the local subsidiary. For the moment, it is the only US brand to sign up - neither Ford, GM, or even Chrysler are committed to attend. Stablemates Fiat, Alfa Romeo, and Abarth will be there, along with 13 other foreign makes, answering the "Technology & Fantasy" theme for this year's event. In total, organizers announced 15 brands from 14 Japanese manufacturers, and 27 brands from 17 foreign carmakers. The show opens to the public from Oct. 30 to Nov. 8. Related Video:
