2007 Srt-8 Jeep Grand Cherokee- Powerful, Fast, Many Upgrades!!!!! on 2040-cars
Elmsford, New York, United States
I am the original owner of this vehicle. It was my daily driver and toy for 5 years until last year. There are many performance upgrades including Corsa exhaust (deep rumble without drone- THE best exhaust for these vehicles), B. Woody Cold Air Intake, B. Woody Lowering Springs, B.Woody Sway Bar End Links and a custom tune which is included with the Diablosport Preditor. (You are free to select any tune you wish (including the stock factory tune) at any time.) The tires have been upgraded to the massive Vredstiens which are the best tire I have ever had on this vehicle. The rears are 305 and the fronts are 275. I would estimate that the tires have about 65-70% life left on them.
The vehicle has 73K miles but I have just installed a new engine from a totaled 2007 SRT-8 Charger with 26k miles. I blew the engine while instructing students at Pocono Raceway late in 2012. The car is mechanically sound and blistering fast. In addition to the approximately 450HP the engine produces the huge Brembo Brakes with custom Carbotech Pads can pull this 5000lbs vehicle to a stop startingly fast. With the upgraded suspension it handles well enough for a race track. (The car has seen approximately 7-8 track days). In 2010 this vehicle was featured in the Robin Hood Rally, a reality show which featured high performance street and race cars competing on closed public roads to raise money for charity. While production isn't complete and I am bound by confidentiality agreements, I can tell you that were more 40 drivers of cars such as Porsches, Corvettes and Ferarris who were shocked at being beat by a Jeep! (But then again this ISN'T your average Jeep). In keeping with the theme of the Robin Hood Rally I will be donating a portion of the sales of this vehicle to CancerCare through eBay's Giving Works. This vehicle represents the perfect balance of daily driver and toy. Given the fact that it has been used and enjoyed as a vehicle like this should, the exterior paint shows the typical signs of tiny rock chips, dings and imperfection (mostly on the front end and rocker panels). The paint is still shiny and deep (just buffed and waxed) and the car looks perfect from 10 feet away. The wheels as well have some minor curb rash and discoloration from brake dust as the custom brake pads made by Carbotech for the Robin Hood Rally are very harsh. I will include both the Carbotech track pads plus a brand new set of Hawk HPS Plus street pads (which are more than adequate for daily driving). I believe I have some additional EBC Yellow pads which I will include as well. The interior is in excellent condition and was just shampooed. I will include a fresh set of front mats. The rear mats are perfect as the back seat was hardly used. I am selling the vehicle with no reserve and my opening bid is VERY reasonable (just check out others here). In general, this is an extremely FUN, extremely fast and mechanically sound vehicle that should give you many years of fun and turn many heads as its powerful, deep rumble commands attention. I reserve the right to end the auction early as the vehicle will be listed locally and on several of the forums. You can inspect the vehicle at my home in North White Plains, NY. Please contact me via eBay's "Ask the Seller a Question" feature. |

Europe gets Jeep Wrangler Polar limited edition
Wed, 04 Sep 2013Jeep will be bringing an all-new, limited-edition model to the European market called the Wrangler Polar. Based on the Wrangler Sahara and set to make its debut at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Wrangler Polar sports new Hyrdro Blue paint, gloss black 18-inch wheels, a body-color hardtop, and the regular mix of Mopar styling accessories. Billet Silver Metallic and Bright White are available for those that don't dig the glossy blue, while a two-door variant will be available in addition to the four-door pictured above.
The Polar's interior features similar tweaks; Pearl White contrast stitching can be found on both the seats and steering wheel, while ceramic White bezels and other accents give a nice contrasting look to the cabin.
Underhood sits an engine that should make American Wrangler enthusiasts weep - a 2.8-liter, four-cylinder turbodiesel. With 200 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque channeled through a five-speed automatic transmission, the Wrangler Polar should handle itself just fine on normal roads. British buyers will also be able to select the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6. For rougher stuff, Dana axles can be found front and rear (Dana 30 up front and Dana 44 in back), while the Command-Trac four-wheel-drive system and its two-speed transfer case should be enough for when the roads disappear.
Autoblog Minute: FCA issues Uconnect software update amid hacking fears
Wed, Jul 29 2015Carjacking has gone wireless, as automakers and Congress scramble for a solution after a disturbing video on Wired showed a pair of researchers controlling a Jeep Cherokee remotely. Autoblog's Adam Morath and David Gluckman report on this edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Carjacking has gone wireless, as automakers and Congress scramble for a solution. I'm Adam Morath and this is your Autoblog Minute. Cars with wireless connections are susceptible to remote hacking, as demonstrated in a disturbing video on Wired.com. The segment showed two researchers remotely controlling a Jeep Cherokee, including running vehicle's the wipers, turning up the music, and ultimately shutting down [00:00:30] the Jeep while it was being driven on the highway by Wired senior writer Andy Greenberg. Washington took note. A press release issued from the desks of senators Ed Markey and Richard Blumenthal introduces legislation protecting drivers from auto security privacy risks. Fiat Chrysler, parent company of Jeep, has a solution for its customers. For more we go to Autoblog's David Gluckman. [GLUCKMAN INTERVIEW] Chrysler has worked with the Uconnect cellular provider Sprint to plug security holes on the carrier side. The vehicles themselves can't be updated wirelessly, so [00:01:00] the remaining changes require physical access. For that, customers have three options: One, download the Uconnect software update to a USB stick and install. Two, wait for FCA to send a USB stick with the latest software that they can install, or third, visit a dealer. Owners should do what they're most comfortable with. I made a video that walks through the whole process from download to install and it took about a half hour. [MORATH] David's full video tutorial of how to install the Uconnect fix can be seen on Autoblog. [00:01:30] It remains to be seen how the rest of the auto industry will respond to these security risks. For Autoblog, I'm Adam Morath.

Each segment offers a quick and clear picture of what's happening in the automotive industry from the perspective of Autoblog's expert editorial staff, auto executives, and industry professionals.
Millionth Jeep Wrangler JK to roll off line this morning
Fri, 17 May 2013According to a report on the Chrysler Communications Facebook page and one fairly grainy image of the production line, at around 11:00AM Eastern this morning, the one-millionth Jeep Wrangler JK will roll out of the company's Toledo assembly plant.
The third-generation or "JK" Jeep Wrangler has been around since the 2007 model year, and has obviously been more popular than ever. With a greater than ever number of trim levels, two-door and four-door Unlimited models and hardy off-roading Rubicon packages, the JK offers more to choose from than ever for those looking for something in a traditional Jeep. In fact, with the modern 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 powering it, the 2012 model year saw more than 140k Wrangers sold here in the US; the best-ever figure for the model.
With a model refresh due out for the Wrangler in 2015 (along with the likely addition of a diesel engine option), we expect that sales will continue to roll right along, too.
