Monster Sleeper: 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee Srt8 W/ Hhp 426ci (7.2l) Stroker Motor on 2040-cars
Forest Hills, New York, United States
Up for sale is my wife's Red 2008 Jeep SRT8, which is notably equipped with a $17k Tony Bischoff/BES 426 Stroker, purchased, installed and tuned by High Horsepower Performance in Smyrna, DE this past July 2013. The engine lays down 502 naturally aspirated horsepower to the wheels. It was tuned by Josh Schwartz, owner of HHP, which builds the country's fastest SRT8s. I live in NYC- shipped the Jeep there based on my research and was not disappointed. The chassis has 46.5k miles and the BES 426 has approximately 4500 miles on it. We are a family of auto enthusiasts and this has always been our reliable daily driver, grocery getter, kid hauler. We have maintained it religously and it needs nothing. It did not lose one bit of reliability or driveability with the 502hp 426 install. It is a sleeper, completely stock exterior that shows as new, the deeper rumble through high flow cats the only hint that this truck has been breathed on. The truck has every option EXCEPT the kicker subwoofer system, which can be retrofitted. Also has transferable extended warranty until 11/24/2015 which is useful-but I would not have a dealer touch the BES engine/tune. About the truck: Exterior - Completely stock. Paint: Beautiful, detailed yearly, has front end clearbra since new; very minor scuff on front bumper (mostly clearbra scuff) from New York City parking Wheels: 3/4 are as new - just had them beautifully refinished, but one now has a small scuff on one of the spokes. Tires: Brand new Proxes ST2 275/315 less than 500 miles on them and "whiskers" still intact; also purchased an 18inch aluminum spare from tirerack. Other notable: HID self leveling headlights; Jeep tow hitch; full clearbra front end including mirrors Brakes: Rotors and pads changed approximately 10k miles ago with OEM rotors and Hawk Pads. Plenty of mileage left. Interior: Excellent condition. Options: navi; Front/rear video- both headphones still in plastic; Front/Rear Heated Seats; Heavy duty rubber mats used all year round Maintained as per schedule - Royal Purple HPS on Stroker; Jeep/Chrysler fluids in transfer case and differentials. New wipers. Engine - BES 426; AFE Cold Air; Magnaflow High Flow Cat X-pipe; Custom HHP tune/Diablo unit. I have all records/receipts for interested parties- this engine cost nearly 17k so someone will be getting a bargain. I also have dyno sheets showing 502 whp, title is in hand, no liens.
This has never been to the track but it destroys everything from a stoplight, with all four tires screaming for mercy. The Diablo unit has recorded a 0-60 time of 3.4 seconds. Payment via wire transfer, live-in person account transfer (Citibank), or I will accompany you to your bank to source a certified check (all major banks located within steps of my garage in NYC). Any other forms of payment require 100% clearing before transfer of vehicle or title. |

2014 Jeep Cherokee: Fall colors tour [w/video]
Thu, Dec 11 2014The Trailhawk's rugged good looks were right at home against the backdrop of changing seasons. Regardless of where you choose to call home, you've probably seen, or at least heard, about the Pure Michigan ads, showing off all the splendor that the Mitten State has to offer. You can make fun of them all you want (several spoofs already exist), but as a native, I fully stand behind the idea that Michigan is a truly gorgeous place. The western coast along Lake Michigan and the northern half of the Lower Peninsula are seriously pretty, and vastly different from the southeastern area that houses big cities like Detroit, Ann Arbor, Flint, and so on. Beyond that, the Upper Peninsula is the closest you'll get to seeing vast spoils of untouched wilderness, and trust me – it's truly pretty. I've seen the world, but I still feel all warm and fuzzy every time I venture north to experience all the vistas that my own state has to offer. In the autumn months, the changing leaves in Michigan put on quite a display. Sure, this happens all over the world, but we truly embrace autumn in the Wolverine State, and practically every Detroit-based Autoblog staffer has gone on at least one fall colors tour to the northern Lower Peninsula to take it all in. That's exactly what associate multimedia producer Chris McGraw and I did just over a month ago, behind the wheel of our long-term 2014 Jeep Cherokee. The Trailhawk's rugged good looks were right at home against the backdrop of changing seasons, and we opted to capture the whole experience on video for this latest long-term update. The Tunnel of Trees is a picturesque stretch of Michigan's M-119 highway that starts just northeast of Petoskey. As you can see in the video above, the Tunnel of Trees is a picturesque stretch of Michigan's M-119 highway that starts just northeast of Petoskey and follows Lake Michigan's Little Traverse Bay. This winding road through the woods goes on for nearly 30 miles, largely unobstructed by neighborhoods, fueling stations, shops, or roadside fodder, and spits you out at the famous Legs Inn in Harbor Springs. (Top-notch Polish food, if you're hungry.) From there, you can either continue north toward Mackinac City and the Mackinac Bridge that connects Michigan's lower and upper peninsulas, or you can turn around and take in all the goodness again.
Feds fretting over remote hack of Jeep Cherokee
Fri, Jul 24 2015A cyber-security gap that allowed for the remote hacking of a Jeep Cherokee has federal officials concerned. An associate administrator with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Thursday that news of the breach conducted by researchers Chris Valasek and Charlie Miller had "floated around the entire federal government." "The Homeland Security folks sent out broadcasts that, 'Here's an issue that needs to be addressed,'" said Nathaniel Beuse, an associate administrator with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Valasek and Miller commandeered remote control of the Cherokee through a security flaw in the cellular connection to the car's Uconnect infotainment system. From his Pittsburgh home, Valasek manipulated critical safety inputs, such as transmission function, on Miller's Jeep as he drove along a highway near St. Louis, MO. The scope of the remote breach is believed to be the first of its kind. The prominent cyber-security researchers needed no prior access to the vehicle to perform the hack, and the scope of the remote breach is believed to be the first of its kind. A NHTSA spokesperson said the agency's cyber-security staff members are "putting their expertise to work assessing this threat and the response, and we will take action if we determine it's necessary to protect safety." A Homeland Security spokesperson referred questions about the hack to Chrysler. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has already been the subject of a federal hearing this month, in which officials scrutinized whether the company had adequately fixed recalled vehicles and repeatedly failed to notify the government about defects. But cyber-security concerns are a new and different species for the regulatory agency. Only hours before the Jeep hack was announced by Wired magazine earlier this week, NHTSA administrator Dr. Mark Rosekind said hacking vulnerabilities were a threat to privacy, safety, and the public's trust with new connected and autonomous technologies that allow vehicles to communicate. NHTSA outlined its response to the cyber-security challenges facing the industry in a report issued Tuesday. In it, the agency summarized its best practices for thwarting attacks and said it will analyze possible real-time infiltration responses. But the agency's ability to handle hackers may only go so far.
New Barracuda, Grand Cherokee Trackhawk coming soon
Wed, Aug 26 2015As we write this, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is conducting a major dealership event in sunny Las Vegas. New vehicles are being announced, redesigned offerings are being teased, and promises are being made to the sprawling company's dealer body. And, as all these announcements are meant to be tip-top secret, they're leaking out left, right, and center. Naturally. FCA is telling its dealers all of the vehicles shown at the Vegas gala will be in showrooms within 12 to 24 months, and that the product offensive will include at least 30 new or significantly refreshed models. Some of those we've known about since FCA boss Sergio Marchionne unveiled his highly ambitious five-year plan in May 2014, while we're hearing about others for the very first time. We've reached out to our sources within FCA, and will update this post as we learn more. It should be noted that while we've tried to rely on concrete sources or corroborations from multiple sources, some of the news here comes from people claiming to have been in attendance and posting in forums like Allpar and Jalopnik's Opposite Lock. Unless corroborated by a mainstream source or confirmed by our own sources within FCA, we're listing each item that comes from a forum. Have those grains of salt at the ready. Chrysler Dodge Durango-sized SUV with stow-and-go was shown. A poster on Allpar Forums claims it had a Durango's interior. New Aspen? Town and Country PHEV confirmed (again). A plug-in minivan was originally announced as part of five-year plan. No news on 200 or 300. Dodge The redesigned Charger will use the Alfa Romeo Giulia's rear-drive platform and, according Automotive News, draw inspiration from 1999's Charger concept car. We're wagering the 24-month time frame specified to dealers will move the new sedan's arrival up from 2018 to mid-2017. Jalopnik's Opposite Lock claims two new Challenger models are coming. Challenger ADR (American Drag Racer) and T/A. ADR should appeal to bracket racers and is more powerful than the SRT Hellcat, while T/A is for track rats, just like Viper T/A. Automotive News claims the legendary Barracuda nameplate will be revived as a Dodge. The Barracuda will be smaller than Challenger, offered as both a coupe and a convertible. Allpar claims it will feature modern styling. A Dodge Durango SRT was announced with 6.4-liter Hemi V8 and rear-drive. Sources within FCA confirmed its arrival with Autoblog. Apparently, dealers were shown an example in B5 Blue.
