This jeep turns heads as much as a supermodel. WARNING: Once you drive a V8 powered Wrangler, you will never settle for stock engines again!!!
1998 Jeep Wrangler, 5.3L Chevy Vortec engine with 4L60E transmission. Powertrain is from a 2003 Tahoe with 81k miles. Conversion parts from Novak, the kings of Jeep conversions. Too many mods to list, but here are some:
DANA 44 rear end from '03 Wrangler X (rear disc brakes), POWERTRAX rear locker, CORBEAU seats and harnesses, DAKOTA DIGITAL instruments, SKYJACKER 4" suspension lift, 1' body lift, TERA-FLEX control arms, sway bar system, transfer case linkage, HD radiator (NOVAK) with 3000cfm electric fan, BESTOP top, trunk and rear cargo rack, CEPEK wheels, many more. The entire tub has been coated with truck liner and sound deadening.No A/C, but wiring harness is set up for it. Novak makes an A/C kit for about $1,000.00. This is a unique, fast and powerful Jeep. I constantly get comments about how good it looks or how quick it is. I have had many Jeeps and this one is the best by far. Rides extremely well for a lifted Jeep and was my daily driver for the last 3 years (I travel more than 200 days a year; hence the low mileage). 
I bought this Jeep on EBAY Mar, 2009. The seller told me that it had been totaled, but the frame was not bent. I was only home for 15 hours, so didn't have the time to get it checked. I didn't like being lied to about it, so I'm putting it here. The frame was bent, but it has been professionally straightened as part of the conversion. Conversion was completed in May, 2010. This is a RESTORED SALVAGE TITLE Jeep, but you can't tell by looking or driving. All body parts are new except the tub, driver's side door and roll bar. NOTE: Vehicle is OBDII compliant and passes AZ emissions. Aftermarket GM chips work and GM error codes apply.   


On Jan-30-13 at 21:39:12 PST, seller added the following information:

I have over $30k invested in this Jeep but need to sell it to finish my next conversion; '79 MGB Ford 302.

Dirt Every Day tries to find the best 4x4 for under $4k

Mon, 25 Aug 2014

If you want to build a cheap truck that can still do dirty deeds off the beaten path, it's best to start with solid axles and a solid V8 engine. That sums up the lessons learned after watching the 2014 Cheap Truck Challenge from the Dirt Every Day video crew, who took to the deserts and surrounding areas near Reno, NV, in an attempt to find the best 4x4 for under $4,000. Fortunately for us, the whole sordid journey was captured on video.
This isn't the first time the boys from DED filmed a Cheap Truck Challenge, and this year's festivities pitted together a 1993 Chevy S10 pickup, a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee and a 1975 International truck in a series of challenges ranging from donuts to drag races, with plenty of hill-climbing and rock-crawling action in between. We don't want to spoil all the fun, but suffice it to say one competitor was found to be lacking while the other two performed (mostly) well. See for yourself in the video above.

2014 Jeep Cherokee starting price set at $22,995*

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

Love 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.

Off-roader plows through a deep bog like it was nothing

Wed, May 18 2016

The Facebook page Jeeps With Attitude runs a weekly series called Too Deep Tuesday wherein they post videos of off-roaders running their rigs through bogs and mud holes of surprising depth and coming out the other side soggy but relatively unscathed. This week's video, in which a driver extracts a buried vehicle from the muddiest bog in the land, is the perfect mix of nutso bravery and off-road know-how. The video starts with the vehicle already sunk to its hood and listing to starboard in a deep, sticky bog. Slowly but surely, the vehicle creeps forward through the mud, pushing a heavy bow wave of muck and debris in front of it. Unlike other recent videos where jeep drivers lost their rides in the water and destroyed their expensive toys, this driver keeps his cool and with a steady foot on the accelerator and the help of a winch and a convenient tree, eventually emerges triumphant. What did he do right? Well, using the vehicle's winch to help pull the rig out of the mud was the big thing. Also, he kept his cool and, once committed, never hesitated or deviated from his chosen path. Gunning it blindly or backing up in that mess would have meant almost certain death for that vehicle, a lesson that the aforementioned Jeep drivers learned the hard way.
