2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara Aev 6.1l V8 Hemi Swap - Low Reserve on 2040-cars
Sterling Heights, Michigan, United States
I am looking to sell my 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara. I am the owner of a used car dealership here in Michigan and I have been daily driving this Wrangler for about a year now. A little bit of back story; I bought this Jeep at auction with an engine fire last year (Carfax reports there was fire damage on 01/27/2013, which is why the truck has a rebuilt title) with the intention of doing the motor swap in the spring of 2014. The truck was COMPLETELY stock when I purchased it last year. There are 4 pictures of the truck from when I bought it that shows how it looked when I bought it and the fire damage. Originally I had the gas tank replaced, along with the engine wiring harness, and some top end parts of the motor that were damaged in the fire and I drove it for about 6 months with the original 3.8L V6. Also as soon as we had it running, instead of painting the stock hood, I ordered a 10th Anniversary hood from my local Chrysler dealership and had it painted. At the time of purchase the truck had approximately 50,000 miles on it.
After the truck was running and driving and I had the replacement hood on, I did following modifications (not necessarily in this order): - AEV Premium Front Bumper - AEV JK Rear Bumper - AEV JK Tire Carrier - 2.5" TeraFlex Lift (shocks, springs, and brake relocation, not just a budget boost) - IPF 901XSD Driving Lights (on from bumper) - IPF 968 Series Driving Lights (with Rugged Ridge windshield brackets) - IPF 8161 Backup Light - (5) 18" Fuel Octane Wheels - 35x12.5R18 Federal Mud Tires (less than 50% tread remaining, the spare is brand new) - Replaced the Steering Wheel and Airbag for the 2011+ Style Wheel - License Plate Relocation Bracket (to the middle of the 5th wheel) - OEM Black Grill with Black "Jeep" Badge - Rugged Ridge Gas Cap Cover - Rugged Ridge Grab Handles - Removed the Chrome Mirror Caps and Tail Light Guards Following these modifications, in April of this year, I ordered the 6.1L Hemi Kit from AEV. By May of this year it was completed and ready to go! If you are not familiar with it, the AEV Kit includes but is not limited to, custom motor mounts, custom transmission mounts, a custom radiator, a full custom Flowmaster exhaust system, a new custom PCM and a complete wiring harness that comes from the same supplier that Chrysler uses. With this kit the truck runs and drives like it would if Chrysler would have put a Hemi in the Wrangler. All of the warning lights work as they should including the tire pressure light and none are illuminated at this time. I purchased a 6.1L Hemi that came out of a 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 with 48k miles on it. The 545RFE transmission that was required for the swap came out of a 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee also but with a 5.7L with 38k miles on it and I had it completely rebuilt but a local well known transmission shop with a bigger torque convertor and better internal parts than stock. A lot of the other parts that were required for the kit were also ordered from my local Chrysler dealership. After the swap was completed everything was programmed with AEV's Procal module including the correct tire size. Since then I have put roughly 7,000 miles on the truck and I have loved every minute of it! Everywhere I go it turns heads and I'm always getting compliments on it. I am not sure about the previous owner but in the time I have had it, it has only served as my daily driver and I have NEVER taken it off-road or to the sand dunes before or after the swap. The only reason I am even selling it at this time is because my interest has shifted to another ongoing project and the money from this truck will help me complete that project. I am currently still daily driving it so the mileage will go up from the time of this listing. I regret that I didn't get to finish modding the truck the way I wanted to because the exterior and the powertrain are AMAZING but the interior I hadn't quite gotten around to completing. The things I was planning on doing before I decided it was time to sell it are as follows. I purchased the winch mount from AEV for the front bumper but never got around to actually purchasing a winch and installing it. Also I wanted to replace the factory radio with a factory Navigation system. Last but not least I was going to order some custom Cardinal Red seats from Katzkin. Other than the things I listed everything I wanted to do to the truck I have already done. The reserve price barely covers the parts and labor that went into this build. I do have the truck advertised locally and I reserve the right to end this auction early if I do sell it locally before this auction ends. As I stated in the beginning the truck was COMPLETELY stock when I purchased it and I have pictures and receipts for everything along the way. Feel free to shoot me a message on eBay if you'd like any additional information or you can call/text me at (586) 850-9224 and I will do my best to answer any and all questions you may have. |

2014 Jeep Cherokee starting price set at $22,995*
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Love it or hate it, the 2014 Cherokee is on its way to a Jeep showroom near you this fall. Today, Chrysler announced the different trim levels, features and pricing for its new compact utility with a starting price of $22,995 (*not including $995 for destination), which is $400 less than the 2012 Liberty it ostensibly replaces.
Available in four trim levels - Sport, Latitude, Limited and Trailhawk - the new Cherokee will come standard with Chrysler's 2.4-liter Tigershark inline four-cylinder engine with the upper three levels offering the option of the company's 3.2-liter Pentastar V6. The base Sport is your typical entry-level model, featuring equipment including manual cloth seats and black exterior mirrors and door handles, but it also has a five-inch Uconnect media center, LED taillights and 10 standard airbags. Stepping up from the Sport model, Latitude and Limited trims bring increasing levels of luxury starting at $24,495 and $27,995, respectively. All three of these trims are front-wheel drive in standard configuration and offer varying versions of Jeep's Active Drive four-wheel-drive system.
The range-topping $29,495 Cherokee Trailhawk (shown above) comes standard with four-wheel drive and numerous upgrades to earn Jeep's Trail Rated fender badge. These changes include a unique design that adds an off-road suspension with taller ride height giving more aggressive approach and departure angles, underbody skid plates, distinguishing exterior design elements and a seven-inch, reconfigurable instrument gauge cluster similar to what it found in high-trim Dodge Dart models. Scroll down for a full breakdown of the 2014 Cherokee pricing and trim levels, and let us know what you think of the model's pricing and equipment in Comments.
Stellantis reports $15B profit in first year of merger
Wed, Feb 23 2022FRANKFURT, Germany — Automaker Stellantis said Wednesday that it made 13.4 billion euros ($15.2 billion) in its first year after it was formed from the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and PSA Group. The earnings nearly tripled profits compared with its pre-merger existence as two separate companies, as the maker of Jeep, Opel and Peugeot vehicles exploited cost efficiencies from combining the businesses. The result compared to a combined 4.79 billion euros for the separate companies in 2020 before the merger, which took effect on Jan. 17, 2021. Revenue for the combined business rose 14%, to 152 billion euros. CEO Carlos Tavares said the results “prove that Stellantis is well positioned to deliver strong performance" and had overcome “intense headwinds” during the year. Automakers have struggled with shortages of key parts such as semiconductor electronic components and rising costs for raw materials as the global rebound from the worst of the coronavirus pandemic brings more demand. The company said the benefits of the merger were worth some 3.2 billion euros during the year. Mergers can lead to streamlined costs as companies combine functions and spread fixed costs over a larger revenue base. The company accelerated its rollout of battery-powered vehicles, with sales of low-emission vehicles reaching 388,000 — an increase of 160%. Stricter environmental regulations in Europe and China are pushing automakers to roll out more electric vehicles with longer range. Stellantis started production of a hydrogen fuel cell commercial van under its Opel brand in December. Stellantis' other brands include Chrysler, Citroen, DS, Fiat, Maserati, Ram and Vauxhall.

Chrysler Recalls Jeep SUVs For Ignition Switches
Wed, Jul 23 2014The ignition switch defects that engulfed General Motors are now a rapidly growing problem at Chrysler. Chrysler said Tuesday it is recalling up to 792,300 older Jeep SUVs worldwide because the ignition switches could fall out of the "run" position, shutting off the engine and disabling air bags as well as power-assisted steering and braking. That's the same problem that has forced GM to recall more than 15 million cars over the last six months. Chrysler's recall covers 2005-2007 Grand Cherokees and 2006-2007 Commanders. The company said it is not sure exactly how many will be recalled, but said it will notify customers by mid-September. Chrysler said an outside force such as a driver's knee can knock switches out of the "run" position. Engineers are working on a fix. The Auburn Hills, Michigan-based automaker, now part of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV, said it knows of no related injuries and only one accident. But it said owners should keep clearance between their knees and keys until repairs are made. Chrysler has now recalled more than 1.7 million vehicles for ignition-switch problems. In June, the company added 696,000 minivans and SUVs to a 2011 recall to fix faulty ignition switches. Those recalls covered Dodge Journey SUVs and Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Caravan and Volkswagen Routan minivans - which Chrysler made for the German automaker - from the 2007 to 2010 model years. Tuesday's recall is the outgrowth of two investigations opened by U.S. safety regulators last month as part of a broader probe into ignition-switch and air-bag problems across the auto industry. The agency wouldn't say Tuesday whether its investigation could lead to recalls at other automakers. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in June that it was investigating Jeep Commanders and Grand Cherokees after getting 32 complaints that a driver's knee can hit the key fob or key chain, causing the ignition switch to move out of position. The federal investigation is still open. The agency said Tuesday that it is requesting additional information from Chrysler to ensure that its repairs will be effective. The investigations and recalls come after GM bungled an ignition-switch recall of older small cars. GM acknowledged that it knew of the ignition problem for more than a decade but failed to recall the cars until earlier this year, when it recalled 2.6 million small cars such as the Chevrolet Cobalt.
