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.

Wards names its 2015 10 Best Interiors list

Fri, Apr 17 2015

Wards Automotive has named the winners of its 10 Best Interior awards, covering a wide but affordable array of vehicles. Where last year's list contained two six-figure vehicles, including the $372,800 Rolls-Royce Wraith, this year's is, well, a whole lot more reasonable. The publication lists the Mercedes-Benz C400 at $65,000 (which seems off), making it the most expensive vehicle here. That said, we'd argue that the entire C-Class line deserves to make this year's list, owing to its varied and high-quality selection of materials. The other vehicle to break the $60,000 mark, meanwhile, is the $60,675 Ford F-150 King Ranch, which has 327,000 pounds of leather lining its interior. Only one other German car, the BMW i3, and one other pickup truck, the GMC Canyon, managed to make this year's list. Here's the full list of this year's winners: 2014 BMW i3 ($52,550) 2015 Chrysler 300C Platinum ($51,175) 2015 Ford F-150 King Ranch ($60,675) 2015 GMC Canyon SLT ($40,465) 2015 Honda Fit EX-L ($21,590) 2015 Jeep Renegade Limited ($33,205) 2015 Kia Sedona SXL ($43,295) 2016 Mazda6 Grand Touring ($33,395) 2015 Mercedes C400 ($65,000) 2015 Nissan Murano SL ($41,905) See what we mean about the mainstream vehicles? Not only is there a distinct lack of luxury brands, it's the price of some of the vehicles that surprise. The Honda Fit, Jeep Renegade and Mazda6 are very reasonably priced, especially when you compare Wards price with the starting price. The Renegade Limited starts at less than $25,000, the Mazda at less than $22K and the Fit at under $16,000. Head over to Wards for a more detailed explanation of why each vehicle won.

Chrysler recalling 644k more Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs over brakes

Wed, 02 Apr 2014

Early last month, we reported on Chrysler issuing a preemptive, proactive recall for about 25,000 units of the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango. The issue revolved around a brake system that wasn't causing any actual problems, but delivered an unsatisfactory brake feel, so Auburn Hills called in a good 25,000 of SUVs around the world, including 18,700 in the United States.
Now Chrysler, having apparently determined that the brake problem on its sport utes is actually much bigger than it initially realized, has drastically broadened the scope of the recall. As a result, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for precisely 655,354 examples of the Grand Cherokee and Durango, covering the 2011 through 2014 model years. In addition, Chrysler is recalling 42,380 units in Canada, 21,376 in Mexico and 159,685 overseas.
The problem which Chrysler found revolves around the brake booster, whose center shell has been found to be subject to corrosion, allowing water to get into the brake system. That water in turn could freeze, preventing the brakes from working as well as expected.

Zombie cars roundup: Dodge has sold 3 new Vipers this year

Thu, Jan 6 2022

Car models come and go, but as revealed by monthly sales data, once a car is discontinued, it doesn't just disappear instantly. And in the case of some models, vanishing into obscurity can be a slow, tedious process. That's the case with the 12 cars we have here. All of them have been discontinued, but car companies keep racking up "new" sales with them. There are actually more discontinued cars that are still registering new sales than what we decided to include here. We kept this list to the oldest or otherwise most interesting vehicles still being sold as new, including a supercar. We'll run the list in alphabetical order, starting with *drumroll* ... BMW 6 Series: 55 total sales BMW quietly removed the 6 Series from the U.S. market during the 2019 model year. It had been available in three configurations, a hardtop coupe, a convertible and a sleek four-door coupe-like shape.   BMW i8: 18 total sales We've always had a soft spot for the BMW i8, despite the fact that it never quite fit into a particular category. It was sporty, but nowhere near as fast as similarly-priced competitors. It looked very high-tech and boasted a unique carbon fiber chassis design and a plug-in hybrid powertrain, but wasn't really designed for maximum efficiency or maximum performance. Still, the in-betweener was very cool to look at and drive, and 18 buyers took one home over the course of 2021.   Chevy Impala: 750 total sales The Impala represented classic American tastes at a time when American tastes were shifting away from soft-riding sedans with big interior room and trunk space and into higher-riding crossovers. A total of 750 sales were inked last year.   Chrysler 200: 15 total sales The Chrysler 200 was actually a pretty nice sedan, with good looks and decent driving dynamics let down by a lack of roominess, particularly in the back seat. Of course, as we said regarding the Chevy Impala, the number of Americans in the market for sedans is rapidly winding down, and other automakers are following Chrysler's footsteps in canceling their slow-selling four-doors. Even if Chrysler never really found its footing in the ultra-competitive midsize sedan segment, apparently dealerships have a few leftover 2017 200s floating around. And for some reason, 15 buyers decided to sign the dotted line to take one of these aging sedans home last year.
