Well Built Jeepcherokee Classic on 2040-cars
Windsor, Connecticut, United States
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 |

Jeep idles second shift it hired a month ago for 2014 Cherokee
Tue, 24 Sep 2013In an unusual move, Chrysler is idling its recently hired second shift of 2014 Jeep Cherokee builders because, Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson said in a statement, it already has built the "critical number of vehicles we need to stock dealerships once containment is released," Automotive News reports.
After the "critical" 9,430 Cherokees were built, the layoff was enacted so as not to strain the automaker's logistics partners before the Cherokee is actually released. Chrysler says the temporary layoff will last about two weeks, with 500 workers out of work and another 600 reassigned at the Toledo Assembly Complex where the sports utility vehicle was being built. The second-shift workers were hired on August 19.
Chrysler previously insisted that it would release the Cherokee to dealerships by the end of the third quarter, and it initially planned to start selling the SUVs in mid-August. Apparently the Cherokee needed a software fix before hitting showrooms, which is how Chrysler explains why the release schedule is out of whack. We're thinking that this software fix addresses the "powertrain calibration" issue that delayed the first media test drives of the model. According to the Toledo Blade, Chrysler has admitted it is doing "extended quality validation testing" but refused to provide more information.
Stellantis expects to hit emissions target without Tesla's help
Tue, May 4 2021Franco-Italian carmaker Stellantis expects to achieve its European carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions targets this year without environmental credits bought from Tesla, its CEO said in an interview published on Tuesday. Stellantis was formed through the merger of France's PSA and Italy's FCA, which spent about 2 billion euros ($2.40 billion) to buy European and U.S. CO2 credits from electric vehicle maker Tesla over the 2019-2021 period. "With the electrical technology that PSA brought to Stellantis, we will autonomously meet carbon dioxide emission regulations as early as this year," Stellantis boss Carlos Tavares said in the interview with French weekly Le Point. "Thus, we will not need to call on European CO2 credits and FCA will no longer have to pool with Tesla or anyone." California-based Tesla earns credits for exceeding emissions and fuel economy standards and sells them to other automakers that fall short. European regulations require all car manufacturers to reduce CO2 emissions for private vehicles to an average of 95 grams per kilometer this year. A Stellantis spokesman said the company is in discussions with Tesla about the financial implications of the decision to stop the pooling agreement. "As a result of the combination of Groupe PSA and FCA, Stellantis will be in a position to achieve CO2 targets in Europe for 2021 without open passenger car pooling arrangements with other automakers," he added. Tesla's sales of environmental credits to rival automakers helped it to announce slightly better than expected first-quarter revenue this week. The next tightening of European regulations will soon be the subject of proposals from the European Commission. The 2030 target could be lowered to less than 43 grams/km.
