This Jeep Wagoneer Limited has just undergone a full restoration by Zephyr's Speed Shop of Enoch Utah. It started with a motor and transmission swap. The drivetrain is a 5.3L Vortec motor and a 4L60E transmission that came out of a 2003 Chevy Tahoe with about 90,000 miles. The engine and transmission were then rebuilt by Anderson Machine Shop and St George Transmission of Cedar City Utah. The transmission was built for towing and heavy duty applications. By use of an adapter/clocking ring, this Jeep has retained its NP208 transfer case (that was rebuilt and resealed) for full selectable 2hi, 4hi, N, 4lo 4-wheel drive capabilities. New custom heavy duty drive-shafts were also installed. The front Dana 44 and rear AMC 20 axles were inspected and resealed. New fluids throughout the vehicle. New brakes, rotors and drums all around. Stops great. The front axle was rebuilt with high performance brass Warn hubs. Suspension was all rebuilt with Procomp shocks on all corners and a small 2” lift. This Jeep now has the ride height of a stock Tahoe or Yukon. All of the parts required to perform this drive train swap properly came from Novak Adapters out of Logan Utah. The engine mounts, wiring harness, computer tune, air intake, headers, adapters, aluminum radiator/electric fan assembly and everything else needed for this swap all came from Novak. Their parts are great quality and designed and engineered for this exact application. Custom 3" Magnaflow exhaust is a nice and quiet system that sounds great. With these performance parts, this motor is putting out about 350 horsepower. Tons of power and torque to tow and off-road to your hearts content. This Wagoneer also gets great gas mileage at about 23 miles per gallon on the freeway at 80 mph (2000 RPM's). 
The paint color is Heritage Brown and looks great. This Jeep is rust free. The undercarriage has been lined with truck bed liner. The interior is Pecan and Briarwood two-tone leather. Custom leather wrapped dash, seats, door panels (the steering wheel still needs new leather wrap). New carpet, custom floormats, and headliner. The entire interior has been covered in Dynamat prior to interior installation, is sealed and is very quiet. All new 31X10.5R15 BFGoodrich All Terrain tires. This is a beautiful Jeep that runs nice and smooth down the road. I have entered several car shows with it since it was finished 4 months ago and have won two trophies. A second and a third place in the “Custom Truck” class at two separate shows.

I have been in love with the Jeep Wagoneer body style for a long time. I wanted to have one built as if it was a modern day car. This Jeep has all the options one would want. Power seats, power windows and locks (a few windows run slow from the new weatherstripping). Fuel injection and modern drive train. New proper ride height. I believe this is a great representation of what Jeep would be doing if they were still making this same body style.

There are a few things that I ran out of money before they were finished. The cruise control has not been set up. The switch and wiring is there, but the “box” will need to be installed and hooked up under the hood (about $200). The AC system is also all there. The compressor, dryer, condenser, everything is there. It needs custom hoses made and to be charged ($500). There are no speakers in the Jeep. The CD player is installed and speaker wire is run to each speaker location, but there are no speakers installed ($200). Emergency events kept me from having this car finished and are forcing this sale.

Let me know if you have any questions or if you want more pictures.

Weekly Recap: Lamborghini fires on all cylinders

Sat, Jan 31 2015

Lamborghini added 192 technicians and specialists in 2014 as the Italian automaker expands under the ambitious growth strategy of parent company Volkswagen AG. The additional workers helped Lamborghini increase its sales 19 percent last year to 2,530 supercars, and further expansion is planned for this year. Lambo has added more than 500 people in the last four years, bringing its headcount to 1,175. "Lamborghini is undergoing a strong phase of growth in both sales and in terms of recruitment," CEO Stephan Winkelmann said in a statement. "We invest significantly in our people ... in 2015 we plan to hire further." The supercar maker's solid performance last year came during a time of transition. Lambo sold off the final 265 Gallardos, which were the brand's best-selling models ever. Its 10-cylinder successor, the Huracan, immediately filled the void. It garnered 3,300 orders, and 1,137 of them were delivered in 2014. The other Lamborghini, the 12-cylinder Aventador, saw its sales increase 13 percent to 1,128 copies. The sales leap comes as Volkswagen drives sales expansion across its portfolio of brands. The German carmaker sold 10 million vehicles around the world for the first time last year. Though Lambo will never make supercars in great numbers, it is expected to contribute to VW's bottom line through its image and profitable sales. Look for further growth this year, and a Super Veloce version (shown above) of the Aventador has already been spotted during testing. Lamborghini has been working on a sport utility vehicle for years, though the company has never publicly approved the project. It also showed a hybrid, the Asterion, at last year's Paris Motor show, suggesting the automaker is considering an electric future. Other News and Notes GMC ponders Jeep Wrangler fighter GMC is considering adding a competitor to the Jeep Wrangler and has discussed the idea with its dealers, according to the Wall Street Journal. Details of the vehicle are unclear, but the report suggested the vehicle could have cues from General Motors' old Hummer brand. The move would broaden GMC's lineup of trucks and SUVs and attract new customers. GMC sold 501,853 vehicles in 2014, making it GM's second-best selling brand. GMC had more volume than Cadillac and Buick combined, though it's still well behind Chevrolet's tally of more than two million vehicles. The notion of a "Wrangler fighter" could be a moving target.

Marchionne may stay with FCA until 2020

Mon, Aug 31 2015

We might get to see Sergio Marchionne and his vast array of sweaters in the auto industry for even longer than expected. The FCA CEO suggested last year that he would retire from the automaker when its current five-year plan was complete in 2018. Now, he has tentatively extended that point out to at least 2020. "I can do this for another five years if you push me, right? Beyond that, I ain't gonna do it, and I don't want to," he said to Automotive News. That would give Marchionne a 16-year career at the top from joining Fiat in 2004 to possibly leaving FCA in 2020. Although, take the CEO's statement with a grain of salt because he has made multiple statements about the timing for his retirement. In 2012, Marchionne said he would only remain in charge until 2015, which is, well, now. Those five years might also go quite quickly because Marchionne is a busy guy with the Ferrari IPO, the attempted merger with General Motors, implementing FCA's five-year plan, and many other projects. He's already considering the next CEO, though. "My purpose in life is to find the Kuniskises of the world, the Manleys, the Biglands, the Palmers," Marchionne said to Automotive News, referencing the heads at Dodge, Jeep, FCA North America, and the company's chief financial officer, respectively. "I told them, 'One of you is going to do what I do one day. I don't know who that is, but one of you is going to do it.'"

Autoblog Minute: FCA issues Uconnect software update amid hacking fears

Wed, Jul 29 2015

Carjacking 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.
