Only 12,000 miles or so since the new Hemi engine was installed. 35,000 total miles. The Hemi is a Dodge Truck Hemi with VVT (variable valve timing), delivering 40 horsepower more than the standard HEMIs in regular conversions. With the aftermarket highflow exhaust, this HEMI generates around 400 horsepower! It is also a VVT HEMI, which means that four cylinders shut off on the freeway to conserve fuel. It was a top ten engine in 2009! Had zero miles on the HEMI when it was installed. The transmission is automatic and had 15,000 miles on it when I installed it. The swap was done by certified mechanics at TUNEX in Bountiful, Utah, and they are all Jeep enthusiasts and enjoyed doing the swap and would be happy to answer any questions about the swap. (Tunex Bountiful: Rob Ingram: ph. (801) 295-5551. This Jeep has MANY extras, including 4" lift with long-arms, 4.88 gears, custom rear bumper and tire mount and jack, custom front bumper and Smittybuilt Winch (8 ton) with remote, in addition to Black, 20" rims and 12.5" wide, 35" high all terrain mud tires in nearly new condition. No stains or tears in the seats. AC super cold. CD player works great. Premier sound system with seven speakers, including a large sub-woofer in the rear area. Extra fan installed in the engine to keep it all cool enough for idling and slow climbing.
The sound of this engine is AWESOME...it makes a throaty growl and gets a lot of compliments. Hard top just installed and is brand new. I will throw in the soft top as well.
The title is restored...I purchased this from Ed Smart, yes, Elizabeth Smart's father, two years ago. He said he was taking it off road and said his differential hit a bolder and it deployed the passenger airbag...his friend worked at a local dealership and replaced the airbag completely, but the title had to reflect "RESTORED" since the airbag deployed. Runs perfect and has been checked out by mechanics and is tip-top shape!
I am selling this because my daughter is going to be driving soon and we don't have room for the car we are going to get her. I already have a car and my wife has one and we are running out of room to park cars!!! And we won't let her drive this Jeep for obvious reasons!!! :)

2014 Jeep Compass/Patriot sing their swan songs with a six-speed automatic
Tue, 15 Jan 2013Unless the governor, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne, gives them a reprieve, the 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot are expected to meet their makers sometime next year. Should they perish, it's a shame that it would happen just as they've shed the continuously variable transmission that was their major bugbear, and just as the Compass has gotten its best looks yet.
Both will roll with a proper six-speed automatic transmission, courtesy of PowerTech. Noise-resistant gears and tuning by Chrysler boffins should alleviate the unappealing sounds that were given off by the older CVT. Unless, that is, you choose to have either model equipped with Freedom Drive II; the serious off-road package, available on both baby Jeeps, will still come with the CVT. The base transmission on the entry-level Sport trim remains the five-speed manual.
Otherwise, it's minor changes for the Compass, set off by the new 18-inch wheel option, trim pieces around the car and a back-up camera. The Patriot gets seat-mounted airbags, but is carryover otherwise. With their expected demises perhaps a year away, not much has changed otherwise. Engine choices comprise the 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 158 horsepower and 141 pound-feet of torque or the 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 172 hp and 165 lb-ft.

Jeep Wrangler by Vilner takes extreme luxury off-road
Mon, 20 Jan 2014Vilner turned its customary and intensely luxurious attentions to a two-door Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited back in 2012, following that up this year with its take on the four-door version. A coat of lustrous black paint outside is brightened up LED headlights, foglights and taillights and layers of chrome laid on the grille, mirrors, door handles and fuel filler cap.
Stance gets an injection of brawn from the 20-inch wheels, and they'll roll faster thanks to the power upgrade from 197 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque in the 2.8-liter diesel to 257 hp and 412 lb-ft.
Inside is furious red, with cross-stitched crimson leather and Alcantara demanding your focus. When you can look away from that, you'll find the raw metal parts painted black and again ornamented in minor applications of chrome. Feel free to feast on it in the high-res gallery above.
