1997 Jeep Wrangler on 2040-cars
Daytona Beach, Florida, United States
For Sale is a 1997 Jeep Wrangler 4cyl. 5-speed. It does NOT have ac. It has new Goodyear Wrangler mud tires. 33x12.5x15 on aftermarket steel wheels. It has a 4" lift kit and also has a SYE installed. The rear seal on the SYE is leaking but is a easy fix. The Jeep will also need new shocks including the steering stabilizer. It is a 97 and does have some of the typical rust. Top of drivers fender, and the bottom of the rollbar along with the floor at the base of the rollbar. I bought the Jeep about a month ago and gave myself a MAX budget as this was going to be a 3rd vehicle we really didnt need but I wanted. I looked for several months to find a good jeep in my budget but as anyone who has looked for Jeeps in Florida knows, they are pricey down here. This one was listed as needing a fuel pump, not a big deal in a jeep so I took the drive to go look at it. When I got there the guy started it up and it idle. Kind of through me off because if the pump was bad it shouldnt run, right??? So I figured this guy just wasnt mechanically inclined and I bought it. More then I wanted to spend, but I bought it anyway. Towed it home and went shopping. I knew it needed a top so I bought a Rampage soft top, sliders, and the parts for a tune-up. The next day I started working on the jeep and found several other problems. Leaking afterkmarket oil gauge, rusted rollbar, bad radiator, among other things. So I started replacing parts. After the tune-up it still would not run smooth so i checked the pump...bad. Ordered the complete pump assembly ( pump. both filters, sending unit, and pressure unit) and after installing it ran much better but not smooth still. Did some more digging and found the pressure sending unit on the power steering was bad so I bought a new one and installed. Now it runs good. The rust on the rollbar and the floor has been treated with TOTAL SOLUTIONS RUST CONVERTER several times and then sealed with body filler. Then the interior was coated with bedliner. If I was going to keep it i would replace the rollbar just for safety. At this point I have COMPLETELY blown my budget and need to sell the Jeep to keep from getting a divorce. Like I said it does need a few things but it is a good Jeep. Here is what i have done....
Tune-up ( plugs, wires, cap, rotor ) New radiator New water pump New complete fuel pump assembly New oil pressure sending unit New power steering pressure switch New serpentine belt Newer Rampage frameless soft top Newer Goodyear Wrangler tires 33x12.5x15 2005 Jeep Unlimited front seats Interior has been bedlined Also has a 4" lift...not sure what brand SYE.... again rear seal leaks. $12 fix Things I know it needs.... door uppers...the ones there are pretty worn all shocks SYE seal And the rollbar should be replaced. Not a big job. rollbars are on craigslist for $150-250. No seam sealer on 97 ( probably why it rusted) I have not driven the other then around the neighborhood. Like i said I blew my budget trying to get the thing running. I do have a title for it but I have not had it transferred into my name yet. It is going to cost me another $450 to do so, so I would like to sell it to someone that doesnt need it. Some states do not require a title after "X" number of years. If you buy the Jeep and need it I will get it for you but would prefer not to. |

Jeep Cherokee faces on-sale delay
Sat, 23 Mar 2013A report in The Wall Street Journal looks at some of the obstacles to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee that go beyond its mootable yet "very contemporary" looks, almost all of them based on Fiat's financial position. Starting with that sheetmetal, in defense of it SRT president Ralph Gilles and Jeep design head Mark Allen said they wanted to "make sure the design still looks modern five years from now."
The WSJ piece doesn't cite longevity as a factor, instead saying that its features originated in a design for an Alfa Romeo, the transformation into a Jeep design meant allowing Chrysler get it to market more quickly and save "hundreds of millions of dollars" in engineering.
The need for Fiat to save money while it weathers the European situation has cut budgets for development, engineering and the pace of retooling the Toledo, Ohio plant to build the Cherokee. In a familiar case of snowballing at work, among the effects will be pushing back the Cherokee's volume sales date and delaying updates to some of Chrysler's other products.
We drive the cars of Furious 7... in Forza Horizon 2 [w/video]
Thu, Apr 9 2015On March 27, Turn 10 Studios, the folks behind the Forza Motorsport series, and Universal Pictures, the studio responsible for the Fast and Furious franchise, gave us a match made in heaven, announcing a "standalone expansion" featuring the two franchises. Called Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast and Furious, it features the cars from the latest film installment, unique missions and the voice-acting of Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, who plays tech guru Tej Parker on camera. A Fast and Furious video game? Seems like a no brainer. It gets better. Rather than limiting the Fast and Furious Edition cars to the expansion game, Turn 10 made them available through one of their (some may say notorious) downloadable content packages. Eight of the expansion's 11 cars were made available for just $4.99 (the only cars that weren't included were the Fast and Furious Edition Nissan GT-R, while the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport and McLaren P1 are already available in-game). What's cool ais that the cars featured in both games are visually identical to the vehicles driven by the stars of Furious 7. Each in-game car has an on-screen parallel that plays a role in advancing the film's story. Considering that we're unlikely to score seat time in Dominic Toretto's real Dodge Charger, then, we figured we'd take to the game and test the car in the digital realm. We've got nine little cluster reviews, covering the cars both in the game and how they appear in the movies. And don't worry, there are no major spoilers here. Click on for the cars of Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast and Furious. 1970 Dodge Charger R/T Fast and Furious Edition Supercharged 7.2L V8 / 900 HP / 663 LB-FT The one vehicle that is mandatory in a Fast and Furious video game, Dom's hot-rodded 1970 Dodge Charger, is as much a character in the films as its driver. Furious 7 marks the fourth appearance of this Mopar beast in the series. Not surprisingly it's a handful to drive, wildly quick and with a four-speed transmission packed full of very tall gears. But beyond that, it's arguably the coolest of the FF Edition cars. This black beauty is exactly as it appears in the latest installment of the film, with the video game version featuring intricate little details, like the moving parts on the BDS supercharger. It's an iconic car, and it's treated as such in the game.
