Sadly it is time for me to sell this jeep. This jeep has under gone a complete transformation from a bone stock wrangler to a completely different vehicle. There has been so many upgrades to this machine I will try to remember most of them but sure I will miss some as I estimate to have about $30,000 worth of just parts and material into this.
The frame: The frame has been completely gone over, started with cutting off all the original factory mounts and stretching the wheel base both in the rear and front about 6" each. The front stretch was done the right way with removing the factory coil buckets and moving those forward on the frame instead of just the axle. This puts more weight to the rear of the vehicle where it is needed and also allows the front axle to clear the front of the engine under full axle compression. The steering has also been upgraded to use a new steering box for the newer wranglers which helps the vehicle track better. The rear axle was moved back and converted to fit the outboard shocks which helps with road manners. It rides on New, old man emu springs with 4" of lift. After all welding grinding and cutting was done the frame was re-sand blasted and then the entire frame was hot dipped galvanized in a bath of 850 degree molten zinc. This coated the entire frame inside AND out. It was dipped twice and then quenched in chromium. Basically this frame will never rust. Also the crappy stamped rear frame member was replaced with 1/4 box steel and Custom bumper with hitch and back up lights and D ring Clevis was added also 1/4 steel and hot dipped galvanized. Suspension: As mentioned all new high quality shocks on all 4 corners, and springs. It has a TNT customs long arm lift on it again with front and rear stretch. ($5,000 alone). All parts are extremely heavy duty rebuildable, greaseable, and powder coated. It has a bomb proof skid plate as well. This kit is top of the line and required extensive cutting and welding to upgrade to this new suspension which rides great for what it is. All welding was done by a certified nuclear reactor welder. Also has jks quick sway bar disconnects in front. The body: the original body was scrapped and a newer rust free 02 body was put in place. The body was stripped and the underside was professionally sand blasted and then coated upside down with por-15 so it will never rust. Then the entire tub was rhino lined inside and out with the DuPont Kevlar liner. The good stuff that about $100 a gallon. Then the underside of the tub was covered nearly everywhere with sound deadining mat. Because of this the jeep is relatively quiet even without carpet inside. Every bolt was cleaned and coated with never seize so stuck bolts won't be a issue down the road. The front hood was customized to open like a big rig. The whole front end flips forward and makes working under the hood a breeze. Interior: The jeep was driven without carpet for a while but recently put in some black carpet for the winter and looks good. The dash has been updated to the 03+ era with the rotary controls and AC. Also a set of iss-pro ev2 gauges monitor critical vehicle information. During transformation the entire hvac system was also updated to the newer more efficient 03+ system. It was also gone over and has a new ac evaporator core, fan, heater core etc. the seats, dash and everything is all 02+ Drivetrain: Oh yes the real deal, the jeep is moved by a 4 cylinder 4bt cummins diesel that was rebuilt by cummins approximately 20k miles ago. The engine fires right up every time and runs strong and true. It still has the stock turbo on it which makes about 25 psi of boost. About a month ago the fuel was finally turned up from the stock setting it has been at since new. These adjustments definitely woke it up but I'm sure there is a lot more power to unlock in this motor. Doesn't use any oil and coolant is always clean. Custom extremely heavy duty motor mounts made from 1/2 steel gusseted everywhere and mounted mid motor to distribute the weight evenly. They are also galvanized. The transmission is a completely rebuilt automatic 700r4 k case (truck version) the tranny was completely gone through and beefed up everywhere it could. It took some tuning but it now works great behind the diesel and is very strong. The shifter has been swapped out to a custom fitted b&m shifter and looks and works great. Transfer case was also rebuilt and a slip yoke eliminator kit was installed to accept the new tom woods drive shaft which connects to the stout ford 8.8 rear axle with disc brakes. The rear axle was recently regeared to a ford racing 4:10 and all new bearings and seals were installed. There is the TNT customs axle truss welded to it with all new spring mounts etc. basically a very strong axle and all new. Fuel economy: I currently daily drive this jeep down to Pittsburg daily and average about 25 yes 25 mpg and that's with a lot of stop and go driving. I would guess highway mpg is over 30mpg cause the motor is hardly working. The jeep goes 65 mph comfortably and will easily do 70+ With no death wobble and lots of power left. Wheels: The jeep is rolling on new Mickey Thompson mtz's 33's with new moto metal 17" rims. So why am I selling this awesome vehicle? Simply it's not a great kid hauler. Ive been doing it for about a year now but the kid keeps growing and there's probably more in the future. I know I will kick myself eventually for doing this but it's a necessary evil. Oh there is also dual batteries with a selector switch in the cab for battery 1 or 2 or both. This way you can run radios or lights or whatever without fear of running the battery to low to start. Or you can turn it to off for a good security system. The jeep is completely emp bomb (electro magnetic pulse) and taser proof. So basically no electronic failure will shut this jeep down. It's completely mechanical. I'm sure there is more but I'm tired of typing. Any questions just ask. Title is clean and will say a 97 with 180k miles or so, even tho nothing is left on this jeep with those miles on it. Approximately 12,000 miles since project completion. Vehicle is also listed locally so i reserve the right to end the auction early. |

Chrysler resolves recall issue with NHTSA, will inspect, upgrade affected Jeeps
Tue, 18 Jun 2013Chrysler made big news earlier in the month by refusing a recall request from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for the 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty. Last week, NHTSA boss David Strickland countered by defending his agency's request for the recall of 2.7 million Jeep SUVs. Today marked the deadline for Chrysler to formally respond to NHTSA, and it seems that both parties have met in the middle with Chrysler inspecting and upgrading some of the affected vehicles without using the word "recall," which would constitute the admission of a defect; instead, Chrysler said that it is conducting a "voluntary campaign."
At issue on these vehicles is the positioning of the fuel tank behind the rear axle that could get damaged during a rear-end collision. NHTSA has stated that at least 51 people have been killed in rear-end collisions involving these Jeeps after the vehicles caught fire, to which Chrysler countered by pointing out that both models "met and exceeded" the requirements for fuel-system integrity.
As a compromise on the situation, Chrysler says that it will inspect all pre-2004 Grand Cherokees and pre-2007 Liberty models and, "if necessary, provide an upgrade to the rear structure of the vehicle." According to Automotive News, this upgrade will consist of adding a trailer hitch that will presumably better protect the rear-mounted gas tank. Vehicles already equipped with a factory or Mopar hitch will not be modified. Chrysler's official statement on the matter is posted below, but no additional information has been released, such as when the campaign will begin and how many vehicles could be affected.
Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle
Sun, Aug 21 2022The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.
