1997 Jeep Wrangler TJ built crawler.

 

Has had a new frame installed, gen right 3 link front frame brackets and rear 4 link brackets.  All upper links are 2” 1/4 wall DOM and lowers are 2” square 1/4 .  Just installed 14 new 2.63” Johnny joints with 1.25” shank.

 

Rear axle was stretched approx. 5-6”, and front roughly 3”.  Genright stretch gas tank.  Relocated steering box and used Genright flat fabricated pitman arm.  Genright track bar kit and brackets.

 

Has a ’98 Cherokee 4.0 and aw4 installed, that have approx. 95,000 miles.  NP231 with a slip yoke eliminator.  Tub is nice and rust free drivers floor pan was replaced.  Genright front highline tube fenders and TNT rear corner armor with handmade rear fender flares welded and molded into the corners.  TNT rocker armor.  Swag off-road relocated reinforced frame mounts.  Custom made skid plate and engine skid.  Custom made rear frame cap/hitch/step and body mounted spare tire carrier (no rattles at all w/ 39.5 tire!).  Also has a louvered hood panel to get the heat out.

 

Front axle is a 78-79 ford high pinion Dana 60 front, 5.38 gears, Detroit locker, stock neck down inner shafts and Yukon alloy 35 spline outer shafts with drive flanges.  3/8” fabricated diff cover and huge 3/8” wall DOM tie rod (you’ll have to try hard to bend it).  Sky off-road crossover steering arm.  All steering joints use heim joints. 

 

PSC steering pump and reservoir and 1.5” ram for hydraulic assist, which can move the jeep sideways with the front wheel up against a rock.

 

Rear is a GM 14bolt (70” factory width).  Yukon 5.38 gears, Detroit locker, 3/8” fabricated diff cover, disk brake conversion, pinion guard, and truss.

 

High angle driveline 1350CV rear driveshaft.  Jeep XJ shortened front driveshaft.

 

Tires are 39.5” bias Irock’s on stock hummer H1 double beadlocks.  PVC beadlock inserts, and Trailworthy fab rock rings.  Spare is a 39.5” Irock for a 17” wheel, with no beadlock.  Have a spare Hummer wheel that is included.  Wheel spacers were used to get the front and rear track width’s identical.

 

Other bits:  Cobra CB, JeepAIR A/C kit that blows cold, herculined floors, front quadratec floor mats, 2003 wrangler front seats, all seats have rugged ridge black neoprene covers.  Warn Winch.

 

All in all there is probably a bunch more I didn’t mention.  It is a rock solid performer and has never broken down on the trail.  Did Pritchett canyon in Moab without winching or any tugs, while everyone else in the group ended up needing help. 

 

The flaws:  Oil press. Gauge doesn’t work.  Speedometer fluctuates.  I have a gauge panel to replace the factory gauges with autometers.  Drivers rear window (plastic portion) was cut and has been taped up.  Windshield is cracked. It could use a sway bar if your going to do a lot of road driving.  It’s very stable, but does have a good bit of body roll.

 

I noticed the title check shows some issues...vehicle has a clean clear Michigan title in my name.  Shows some past issues with mileage reports, which are a mute point with this Jeep, as the only original items are the tub, dash, and some of the wiring. Prior owner stated he had hit a deer with the Jeep, no serious damage, which was repaired accordingly.

Selling as I don’t use it as much as I used to, and don’t have the opportunity to do the difficult trails this was built for.

Jeep Cherokee won't get diesel until sales of oil-burning Grand Cherokee improve

Tue, 01 Jul 2014

Okay Jeep fans, you want more diesel options? Time to step up and prove it. The only way Jeep will offer a diesel powerplant in the Cherokee, according to brand head Mike Manley, is if sales of the Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel nearly double.
Currently, about eight percent of the Grand Cherokees sold feature the 3.0-liter, EcoDiesel V6. That's simply not enough to warrant the bringing an oil-burning Cherokee to the US market, despite the vehicle's presence in Europe, where it's sold with a 2.8-liter diesel V6.
"Cherokee is slightly different because of its weight and size. When I think about bringing Cherokee diesel here, I would like to see Grand Cherokee diesel get much higher than eight percent," Manley told Automotive News. "It would have to be in mid-double digits."

These are the cars being discontinued for 2024 and beyond

Fri, Jun 21 2024

While we get new and updated car models every year, its inevitable that we'll need to say goodbye to some nameplates as well. This time around, it feels like we have confirmation or reports of an unusually large number of vehicles being discontinued in 2024 and the coming years.  We shouldn't be surprised. A large number of automakers are approaching their various target dates for electrification of their fleets. As such, some beloved internal combustion cars are going away, sometimes with appropriate fanfare like special editions. Others are slinking away quietly, killed by slowing sales and changing consumer trends. Of course, the end of production doesn't necessarily mean permanent death. Some of these models could be resurrected in later years ... and probably as an EV. With that in mind, here are the vehicles that are being discontinued in 2024 and beyond.   Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio and Stelvio Quadrifoglio Alfa Romeo ended the production of its combustion-only Quadrifoglio models in April 2024 as the Italian automaker moves toward an electrified future. This isn't the end of the Quadrifoglio entirely, though, with Larry Dominique, Alfa Romeo senior vice president and head of North America, writing, "I look forward to presenting the next chapter in the four-leaf clover’s journey."   Chevrolet Camaro GM is ending production of the Chevy Camaro after 2024, but is sending it off in style with a CollectorÂ’s Edition. WouldnÂ’t it be cool, though, if Chevy brought it back as an EV?   Chevrolet Malibu Rumors of its demise have been around for a while, but now itÂ’s official. GM will end production of the Chevy Malibu in November of 2024. The assembly line in Kansas will be retooled to build the replacement for the Chevy Bolt.   Dodge Durango The three-row Durango is slated to be replaced by the Stealth nameplate after 2024. The Durango name could make a comeback later, according to rumors, on a body-on frame SUV based on the Jeep WagoneerÂ’s platform.   Ford Edge This is the last year for the Edge in the U.S., with the final unit rolling off the assembly line in April. On sale since 2007, the Edge topped 100,000 sales in all but three full years of production.   Ford Escape Newly refreshed for the 2023 model year, FordÂ’s popular Escape compact SUV is reportedly taking its leave in 2025 in order to usher in — you guessed it — an EV in its place.
