I am selling my 2001 Jeep Wrangler Sahara
This jeep has 118,000 miles and is a clean CA example with absolutely no rust of any kind with a motor from a 2005 Rubicon with 19k on the clock. Some details on the car: - When I purchased the vehicle (unknowing to me) it had a bad (or leaky) cam bearing and when it heated to operating temperature it would lose oil pressure and the light and buzzer would come on. If it didn't have a oil pressure gage or the buzzer was broke you would have never known. I didn't mind but I knew it had to be fixed. These engines are getting harder to come by since this was a common (other people had this happen so not an anomaly) problem around my year motor. I was able to source a 4.0 out of a 2005 crashed Rubicon that had less than 20,000 on the clock and had a professional Jeep business in town remove and install the new motor. This was an entire long block from oil pan to valve cover. We used my peripherals as they were in good condition and may have been replaced already considering how they look and function. As you can see by the pics below this jeep has been very well cared for and will have many more years of trusted service now that it has a new motor. It is dry as a bone underneath and is in good shape. This was not a cheap process and someone will benefit from my effort. I am looking at another vehicle to purchase and this was my "summer fun toy" and it has to go. As you can see it doesn't get off road much and hasn't spent anytime on salted wintery roads. - As you will see by the paperwork I have all the documentation from the previous vehicle where the motor came from and the motor has the same VIN to verify it's history and mileage. Some things that come with the jeep: - brand new jeep cab cover (in tan from BestTop) still in original carrying case for when the top if off and it rains. This will work with the doors on or off - Bikini top (in tan) from BestTop used for one summer with cross bar to mount it up front. Still looks brand new and is stored in the house - HID-LED off road lights. These are about 3.5"x3.5" and sit on the window sill mounts that I had powder coated white to match the Jeep. They are brand new and come with the vehicle. They are tiny compared to the older round KC lights but brighter and use only 20 watts. I figured they would come in handy on back roads late at night or in storms when no traffic exists in the area or the occasional camping two-track type outing. They haven't been mounted (bolted on) but all wiring is complete and is a quick job since everything else is complete. - Full stereo integration with custom sub box with 10" sub carpeted to match the interior color. A new amp, deck unit and all new 5 1/4 speakers both in the sound bar and dash (by your knees). I was able to remove the 4x6" speakers from factory with an easy aftermarket plate to accommodate the larger circular speaker. This runs like a dream and will make someone very happy. Please bid to win as this will sell before the end of the week. I will not deal with any dealers or car brokers so please don't contact me as I will not respond. You will be required to paypal $1,000 within the first 2 days after you have won the auction and pay in full and arrange for travel within 7 days. Buyer to pay for all shipping and associated costs of purchasing including but not limited to axes, fees, title transfer, etc. NOTE: I have many pictures and would be happy to email them to anyone who wants to see something that I didn't post. I tried to pick a good assortment of them to get a general sense of the vehicles condition. Nothing has been left out intentionally and I would be happy to share. If you have any questions please let me know and I will be happy to respond. Good luck on bidding!!! On Feb-17-14 at 17:55:38 PST, seller added the following information: Note: Added 2/17/2014 I have pictures of the new motor before it went in and also the jeep with the motor out of it as well for reference. I can't emphasize enough how clean this new motor is and looks like a brand new crate motor. If anyone would like additional photo's please ask me a question and provide your email and I will send them directly to you. Thanks for the interest. |

2016 Jeep Wrangler to ditch solid axles to save weight?
Tue, 29 Oct 2013Hey, Jeep fans. If you think the idea of a funky-looking, car-based Cherokee revival is offensive, have a listen to what might be in store for the next-gen Jeep Wrangler. Automotive News is reporting that as Jeep develops the 2016 Wrangler, weight reduction is a crucial target, and the Wrangler's rugged solid axles could be sacrificed in the name of better fuel economy.
We've already heard the next Wrangler will go on a serious diet using aluminum body panels and an air suspension system, so the idea of a four-wheel independent suspension setup for this OG SUV isn't all that surprising. Besides, it's not like an independent suspension would limit the Wrangler's off-road abilities - just check out the Hummer H1. In fact, it might be the aftermarket parts companies - not Wrangler enthusiasts - who would be most disappointed by such a drastic suspension change, as the article states that the Wrangler's solid axles and coil-link suspension make it the most popular SUV for customization.
There are probably still a couple years before we'll start hearing any concrete details about the 2016 Wrangler, at which time it will be interesting to see how stricter fuel economy and crash safety regulations have been balanced with traditional Wrangler cues like its removable doors and roof and folding windshield. Let us know in the comments below if a Wrangler sans solid axles is any less of a Wrangler.
Fiat 500X poised for Paris catwalk
Wed, 05 Feb 2014We've known for some time that the new, Fiat-based baby Jeep (which may or may not be called the Jeepster) is set to arrive at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. What we weren't sure of was whether its platform mate, the so-called Fiat 500X, would be doing so alongside or at a later date. Well, according to Reuters, we'll get to see the first all-wheel-drive 500 later this year in the City of Lights.
Yes, we can expect the 500X to arrive at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, according to an official with an Italian trade union. The unnamed source cited retooling at Fiat's Melfi factory, in southern Italy, which currently produces the Grande Punto. It's expected that the newest member of the growing 500 family will replace the Suzuki SX4-based Fiat Sedici, although when the X will go on sale remains an open question.
According to Reuters, both the Jeepster and 500X will be built alongside each other in Italy. Whether the 500X will cross the pond with it's slat-grilled cousin, though, remains to be seen (we're leaning towards yes).
YouTube tallies votes for this year's top five Super Bowl spots [w/video]
Tue, 19 Feb 2013When we asked you to tell us which of this year's 16 car-themed Super Bowl commercials you liked best, you chose the Farmer commercial from Chrysler Group, advertising the Ram trucks, over Audi's Prom commercial in second place. Turns out the voters in YouTube's Ad Blitz poll agreed, voting the same commercial to the number one spot from among the field commercials in every category.
From there, however, they went in a totally different direction. Budweiser's The Clydesdales spot came second, Samsung's The Next Big Thing took third. The Jeep Whole Again ad scored fourth in the YouTube poll, fifth in our poll of auto commercials, and the Hyundai Team spot got fifth from the YouTubers, but ninth in our poll.
The voting results don't match up with the viewing numbers, though - while Farmer has more than 13 million views, The Next Big Thing is well beyond 21 million. You can read the press release below and see all five spots, lined up for you, one more time.
