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

Total auto recalls already on record pace in 2014

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

If you've noticed that there have been more recalls than usual this year, you may be on to something. According to a report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the US market is on pace to break a record for recalls. In 2013, 22 million cars were recalled. We're only a third of the way through 2014, though, and we've already halved that figure, with 11 million units recalled. That's wild.
Considering the past few months, it shouldn't be a surprise that General Motors is leading the charge, with six million of the 11 million units recalled coming from one of the General's four brands. Between truck recalls, CUV recalls and the ignition switch recall, 2014 hasn't been a great year for GM.
Other recall leaders include Nissan (one million Sentra and Altima sedans), Honda (900,000 Odyssey minivans), Toyota (over one million units in a few recalls), Volkswagen (150,000 Passat sedans), Chrysler (644,000 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs) and most recently, Ford (434,000 units, the bulk of which were early Ford Escape CUVs). So while it's been a bad year for GM so far, its competitors aren't doing too well, either.

2014 Jeep Patriot and Compass ditch CVT for six-speed auto

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

It was reported in Automotive News a few months ago, but a new report on Allpar.com adds some details to news that the 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot will get a six-speed automatic to replace the CVTs they currently use. According to a tip provided to Allpar, the 2014 models will begin production in March and be on sale sometime in the summer. The Jatco-sourced CVT in use until now - Jatco is owned by Nissan and Mitsubishi - has been often criticized, and many won't be sad to see it go.
The incoming six-speed automatic is said to be an all-wheel-drive cog-swapper that's the work of Hyundai and Magna and has been paired with the DynaMax AWD system used in the Hyundai ix35 and Kia Sportage. It won't be the only Chrysler product using a transmission with ties to Hyundai: the six-speed automatic in the Dodge Dart comes from Powertech, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hyundai. With the Patriot and Compass said to be driving down the trail for the last time this year, it will be a short run for the new tranny and the rumored addition of a backup camera and power rear liftgate on the Compass.

Stellantis announces ‘Circular Economy’ business to drive revenue, decarbonization

Tue, Oct 11 2022

Stellantis has already announced its plans to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2038. Today, the automaker has announced a new business unit to help it reach that goal while generating 2 billion euros per year in revenue by 2030. The “Circular Economy” business will help make revenue less dependent on finite, rare and ecologically problematic materials. The Circular Economy model features what Stellantis calls a “4R” strategy, comprising remanufacturing, repair, reuse and recycling. The goal is to make materials last as long as they can, reducing reliance on the acquisition of those precious new materials in the future by returning them to the business loop when theyÂ’ve reached the end of their first life. Through these processes, Stellantis says it can save up to 80% raw material and 50% energy compared to manufacturing a new part. Remanufacturing, or “reman” in Stellantis shorthand, means dismantling, cleaning and rebuilding parts to OEM spec. Nearly 12,000 remanufactured parts are available for customers to purchase. Some remanufacturing is done in-house, and some with partners and through joint ventures. Repair is pretty obvious — fixing parts to put back into vehicles. This also consists of reconditioning, to make a vehicle feel like new. Stellantis boasts 21 “e-repair” centers for repairing electric vehicle batteries.  Reuse refers to parts still in good condition from end-of-life vehicles sold as-is. Stellantis says it has 4.5 million multi-brand parts in inventory. These are sold in 155 countries through the B-Parts e-commerce platform. Reuse also refers second-life options, such as using batteries outside of automotive purposes. Recycling involves dismantling parts and scraps back into raw material form that is then looped back into the manufacturing process. Stellantis says it has collected 1 million parts for recycling in the past six months. Recycling doesnÂ’t get counted in that aforementioned 2 billion euros of revenue, but it does save the company money on acquisition of raw materials. As for batteries, specifically, Stellantis expects this recycling business to ramp up after 2030, when the packs currently in service begin to reach the end of their lifecycle. Stellantis will use its new “SUSTAINera” label to denote parts that are offered as part of its Circular Economy business.
