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.

Jeep Grand Cherokee, BMW i8, Ford F-150 win 2015 Green Car Awards in DC [w/video]

Tue, Jan 27 2015

There were three shiny trophies handed out at the Washington Auto Show last week by Green Car Journal, and they went to three different examples of what "green" means in the automotive industry today. The Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel won the award for the 2015 Green SUV of the Year, the BMW i8 was named the 2015 Luxury Green Car of the Year and the Ford F-150 took the 2015 Green Car Technology Award honor. There is a case to be made that the aluminum body of the new Ford truck will make a bigger impact in the overall fuel usage in the US than almost any other vehicle, given the numbers of F-150s that Ford sells each year. The B20 biodiesel-capable Jeep gets up to 30 miles per gallon on the highway. And the i8 puts all sorts of new, fuel-saving technologies into an attractive package. Looking over the winners, and the list of finalists you can see in our photo gallery, and you can see that the definition of green is expanding every year. You can watch Green Car Journal editor Ron Cogan hand out the 2015 awards in the video below and we'll for sure be paying attention to what wins next year. 2015 Luxury Green Car of the Year, Green SUV of the Year and Green Car Technology Winners Announced WASHINGTON, Jan. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal has named the Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel its 2015 Green SUV of the Year™ and the BMW i8 its 2015 Luxury Green Car of the Year™, with the aluminum-bodied Ford F-150 earning the magazine's 2015 Green Car Technology Award™. Winners were determined by a jury of Green Car Journal editors and automotive experts. The prestigious awards were announced in Washington, D.C. today at a Green Car Awards™ press conference held during the Washington Auto Show's Public Policy Day at the Washington Convention Center. "These are truly commendable vehicles representing the 'best-of-the-best' in so many ways," said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of the Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com. "The auto industry's very early focus on small cars and efficiency-for-environment tradeoffs has evolved to now include a more dynamic field of 'greener' models in all vehicle classes. Those wanting greater efficiency or better environmental performance are no longer constrained by limited choices or vehicle types that fall outside their top purchase preferences.

Jeep still working to improve Cherokee's 9-speed auto

Tue, Feb 3 2015

Fiat Chrysler is hoping an upcoming software update will stem the tide of consumer complaints surrounding its nine-speed automatic transmission. Owners of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee have reported a number of problems on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's SaferCar.gov website, since the new model and its troubled gearbox arrived way back in October 2013. The software update is "intended to keep the vehicle performing as intended, and to prevent durability issues from occurring in the future," an FCA spokesperson told Automotive News, and will be available to owners of both the 2014 to 2015 Jeep Cherokee and the 2015 Chrysler 200, which also uses the 9AT. While FCA will be notifying consumers of the update, owners can also request the software reflash if they happen into their dealer before then. Despite the widely documented problems with the transmission, the only complaints on NHTSA's website relate to the 2014 Cherokee – neither the 2015 Jeep nor the 200 have received any complaints. That bodes well as FCA prepares to begin deliveries of the 2015 Jeep Renegade and launch the Fiat 500X, both of which pair the 9AT with the 2.4-liter Tigershark four-cylinder. "We have had to do an inordinate amount of intervention on that transmission, surely beyond what any of us had forecast," FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne told Automotive News. "There are things that we have done – that we continue to do. Our proactive customer care intervention has actually increased in intensity on these vehicles in 2014, especially in the second half." What's fascinating about the 9AT's problems are that they haven't been the fault of manufacturer ZF, but have related to software that wasn't "mature" and had "teething problems," Marchionne has said previously, AN reports. With the lack of criticism for the 9AT in 2015 models and this pending software update, though, here's hoping that FCA has finally figured out its fuel-sipping gearbox. Related Video:
