Don't know where to start. This is a 1988 Jeep Wrangler totally restored with a Chevy 350 4 bolt main motor four and a half years ago. This Jeep has been rebuilt from the frame up and only has 493 miles on it in 4 and a half years. The only thing that was not taken off was the steering box. This Jeep has NEVER been off road since being rebuilt. The motor was built by myself at a local performance shop. Everything but the 350 4 bolt main block is new. The wire harness is a brand new Painless harness. Runs awesome. Little cold blooded at first but comes right out of it in a minute or two.

 Here we go, the majority of the parts and advice were provided by 4 Wheel Drive Hardware.The 5 speed transmission and transfer case came from a late model 6 cylinder Jeep from California with 23,000 miles on them and have all new linkages and levers as well as mounts. The motor again is a 350 Chevy 4 bolt main, aluminum intake, Demon 4 barrel carb, serpentine single belt system with new alternator, water pump and power steering pump with new motor mounts. Hedman coated headers and stainless valve covers with K&N air cleaner and breathers. Dual stainless steel exhaust front to back custom installed. New flywheel, clutch and pressure plate. Adjustable fuel regulator with gauge, braided fuel line and throttle cable. Oversized aluminum dual core radiator with an electric fan and billet aluminum coolant recovery tank. The front differential is stock with chrome moly axels. The rear differential is a Ford 8.8 with a Super 88 Axle Kit with a Detroit set of gears and c-clip eliminator system. The drive shafts are heavy duty professionally custom made shafts made from Spicer parts. Gel Cell Optima battery. All brand new brake components, stainless brake lines, calipers, rotors, pads, backing plates, e-brake cables, power booster and master cylinder. All new tie rod ends, tie rods and new pitman arm. YJ 4.5 Extreme-Duty Offroad Kit with heavy duty leaf springs, shackles, pearches, u-bolts  and Rubicon Monotube Shocks. Detachable sway bar and new body mounts. Dick Cepek tires, Radial F-C 2, LT305/170R16 with Dick Cepek Wheels. Warn Rockcrawler bumpers with winch mount and grill protector (not shown) and stainless D-Rings. Sure Step side bars. New steering shaft, bearings and GT steering wheel. All new door, tailgate and windshield hinges. New mirrors and mounts with Safari Doors. Tub underbody professionally undercoated in black and the tub interior is undercoated with the same tint as the jeep exterior color. New lights all around, LED rear lights, new markers and high intensity headlights. New Pioneer stereo with AM/FM and CD with new speakers using factory installation, looks stock. All gauges are Auto Meter Pro- Comp Ultra-Lite white gauges. The oil pressure gage just now is acting up, when turning on the key switch the gages all go through their automatic cycle but then the oil pressure gage pins itself without the motor running. This is new since taking it out of storage. I can assure you the oil pressure is good and suspect the sending unit or gage is defective. The Jeep has Mastercraft interior bucket front seats with 4 point seat belts and lap belts for rear bench seat. New seat risers as well. After market center console. Over $35,000.00 in Receipts not counting time. I also failed to mention the Jeep has a Rugged Ridge Mega Short Slip Yoke Eliminator Kit and a new Centerforce clutch. The following link has a brief video of it running a few days ago and a good view of the whole Jeep. If clicking on it does not work try copying it and pasting it to your tool bar. If you still have problems please feel free to contact me.

Jeep Wrangler Mojo and Cherokee Dakar teased ahead of Moab Easter Safari

Wed, 02 Apr 2014

Jeep has an annual tradition of debuting wild, new concepts during its Easter Jeep Safari, and this year looks to be no different. The automaker has already confirmed two of the six vehicles for 2014 - the Cherokee Dakar (pictured above) and Wrangler Mojo. This year's event runs in Moab, Utah, from April 12-20.
There are no official details about either of the concepts yet - Jeep will release more info on the new models next week. Judging by the pictures, though, the Cherokee Dakar appears to be lifted with some knobby off-road tires. The Wrangler Mojo looks to have a bulging hood that might hide a more powerful engine underneath.
Past vehicles at the Easter Jeep Safari have included a Hemi V8-powered Wrangler, a classically inspired pickup and modernized Jeep Forward Control. Since this is the brand's chance to express itself every year, hopefully it has some more sensational concepts up its sleeve. Scroll down to read the little information that has been revealed about this year's models so far.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky

Fri, 24 Aug 2012

It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.

Chrysler recalling hundreds of thousands of Jeep Grand Cherokee and Commander SUVs

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

The public might associated ignition switch recalls with General Motors - and with good cause - but that's not the only automaker calling its vehicles back in to fix that sort of issue.
Last month we reported that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was investigating an array of Chrysler Group vehicles for electrical-related safety issues. The administration and Chrysler subsequently issued a recall for 700,000 Dodge Journey crossovers, Dodge Grand Caravan minivans and Chrysler Town & Country minivans. But while the Jeeps that were also under investigation were not covered in that recall, they are being addressed in a separate one now.
Although Chrysler reports that it is only aware of a single accident stemming from this issue, it is "committing now to conduct a recall out of an abundance of caution." The recall affects the 2006-2007 Jeep Commander and 2005-2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee, of which it reports there are 792,300 on the road: 649,900 in the United States, 28,800 in Canada, 12,800 in Mexico and a further 100,800 outside of North America.
