Disregard the "Base sport utility" and 4.2liter mentioned in the above description. 

      Originally commissioned by a local entrepreneur for use at his beachfront property in Mexico.  Built by CW Performance in Longmont, Colo, Carl Wells (RIP) has built some very nice vehicles.  I have receipts for over $100K spent, no nut or bolt has been left untouched.  Only the highest quality pieces were selected for this build. 

      Engine started lifeas a 1999 Wrangler 4.0 liter.  It was rebuilt and uses fuel injection, a Crane Cam, a larger throttle body and a very gorgeous Hesco aluminum head.  A Borrani header takes care of the exhaust flow.  It runs great.  The clutch is a Centerforce, the trans a rebuilt Borg/Warner T5.  Dual Optima batteries are held in a Wrangler Products battery tray.  An aluminum radiator is cooled by twin electric fans, thermostatically controlled.  Front and rear diffs are 4.56 ratio, the rear an AMC 20 (I believe) with locker, the front equipped with an Ox locker controlled from inside.  Axles are either new or remanufactured as are the driveshafts.  Both diffs feature attractive alloy covers.  Brakes are new and equipped with stainless brake lines.  Suspension is by Fab Tek and Rubicon.  Rubicon express with 4.5" lift and Rubicon extreme duty shock kit.  The wheels are Sertes (the invoice was a little unclear) model 397 and are shod with Goodyear Dura/trac 33/12.50/15 tires, 5 of them.  A Skyjacker transfer case lowering kit is also fitted.  The bumpers are both Warn brand with a rear tire carrier and front winch mount options.  The Warn winch is a Powerplant Dual Force with air compressor built in.  Winch controls are both wired and keyless remote.  A very professional roll cage will keep you unruffled.  All lighting is special, featuring Delta H4 conversions, Hella lights and KC spots.  All running lights are LED and look very cool.  Warn Rock Sliders protect the rocker panels.  A high lift jack is securly mounted above the spare. 

      The frame has been powder coated, the body or tub has been Rhinolined on the underside as well as the interior.  The Gold color professionally done of course.  The hood, windshield, windshield frame are new.  The instruments are either new or reman and work perfectly.  A Kenwood radio/navigation/dvd is enhanced by an Alpine amp and Boss as well as DC Gold speakers.  The Trailmaster seats are matching, front and rear.  A pilot to co/pilot intercom system is included for when the going gets very exciting.  Headsets with mic's are included.  Tuffy brand center console protects the radio and a dash mounted Tuffy security glovebox protects other valuables. 

      The Besttop roof and windows as well as doors are only about 3 years old.  The Jeep was finished in 2008 and has about 2800 miles.  I use the term "new" a lot in describing items, in truth everything has been used for 2800 miles.  Other new or reman items I forgot to mention:  steering box, ball joints, tie rod ends, Q Snorkel, poly fuel tank, steering wheel, and much more. 

      I got the Jeep from the gentleman who commissioned the build.  I would like to move it on to finance my road racing habits.  If you ever wanted to put together an awesome Jeep, here it is.  My name is Jack and I am certainly available to answer your questions.  I have perfect feedback and want to keep it that way.  Good luck and please bid.

Say goodbye to the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200

Wed, Jan 27 2016

Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne outlined an update to the company's five-year business plan Wednesday, and among the changes, the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200 sedans will soon be phased out. The company's presentation to investors states that the "market shift from cars to trucks and UVs [utility vehicles is] now seen as permanent shift in demand," and FCA wants to respond as quickly as possible. Killing the 200 and Dart will allow FCA to build more Jeep and Ram models at the Sterling Heights, MI, and Belvidere, IL, plants where the sedans were produced. We already knew FCA was planning to shift 200 and Dart production to Mexico, to free up the Sterling Heights facility for Ram 1500 production, and the Belivdere site for Jeep Cherokee output. The Cherokee will move from its current home in Toledo, OH, to allow for increased Wrangler production. It's no shock that FCA wants to shift its focus to crossovers and trucks. In December 2015, for example, combined sales of the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200 were 15,310. The Jeep Cherokee, which uses the same platform as the Dart and 200, outsold both models combined, with 24,049 sales. Both the Dart and 200 had troubles from the beginning. Marchionne recently blamed designers for the 200 not receiving a Consumer Reports 'recommended' rating, and the Dart was one of the lowest-scoring cars in a CR reliability study.

FCA recalling 63k Jeeps, Vipers and Ram ProMaster City vans

Thu, Apr 23 2015

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has announced a pair of recalls cover nearly 63,000 vehicles. The bigger of the two actions covers manual-transmission-equipped vehicles from 2006, including the Jeep Liberty and Wrangler, as well as the Dodge Viper. FCA engineers uncovered that the clutch ignition interlock switches use a kind of wire that was part of a previous recall campaign. Because of this, the company said that affected vehicles may not start, although in rare cases, "if recommended starting procedures are not followed," the affected vehicles may lurch forward after turning the key. Those recommended starting procedures "include activating the parking brake, placing the shift lever in neutral and pressing the clutch pedal before turning the vehicle's ignition key." Recall number two affects the company's 2015 Ram ProMaster City cargo and passenger vans. Owners will need to report to dealers to have a piece of tape removed from the side-curtain airbags. The tape is added during assembly and in some cases, may not have been removed. That could prevent the airbags from deploying in the event of a crash. Just under 59,000 vehicles are included in the first recall, including 43,874 in the United States, 11,309 outside of North America, 2,944 in Canada and 706 in Mexico. The ProMaster City recall includes just over 3,900 vehicles. FCA claims it's unaware of any injuries, fatalities or accidents related to either recall and will perform repairs free of charge. Scroll down for the official press release on both campaigns. Related Video: Statement: Clutch Ignition Interlock Switch April 23, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is launching a voluntary recall of an estimated 43,874 older-model U.S.-market cars and SUVs equipped with manual transmissions. The Company will replace their clutch ignition interlock switches at no charge to customers. The action follows an investigation by FCA US engineers that discovered these vehicles are equipped with switches that contain a certain type of wire implicated in a previous campaign. The wire, which was temporarily substituted by a supplier for the specified material, may break. As a result, the vehicles may not start, and in rare cases – if recommended starting procedures are not followed – a vehicle may exhibit unintended movement when its ignition key is turned. FCA US is unaware of aware of any related injuries or accidents involving this population of vehicles.

Stellantis ready to kill brands and fix U.S. problems, CEO Tavares says

Thu, Jul 25 2024

  MILAN — Stellantis is taking steps to fix weak margins and high inventory at its U.S. operations and will not hesitate to axe underperforming brands in its sprawling portfolio, its chief executive Carlos Tavares said on Thursday. The warning for lossmaking brands is a turnaround for Tavares, who has maintained since Stellantis was created in 2021 from the merger of Italian-American automaker Fiat Chrysler and France's PSA that all of its 14 brands including Maserati, Fiat, Peugeot and Jeep have a future. "If they don't make money, we'll shut them down," Carlos Tavares told reporters after the world's No. 4 automaker delivered worse-than-expected first-half results, sending its shares down as much as 10%. "We cannot afford to have brands that do not make money." The automaker now also considers China's Leapmotor as its 15th brand, after it agreed to a broad cooperation with the group. Stellantis does not release figures for individual brands, except for Maserati which reported an 82 million euro adjusted operating loss in the first half. Some analysts say Maserati could possibly be a target for a sale by Stellantis, while other brands such as Lancia or DS might be at risk of being scrapped given their marginal contribution to the group's overall sales. Stellantis' Milan-listed shares were down as much as 12.5% on Thursday, hitting their lowest since August 2023. That brings the loss for the year so far to 22%, making them the worst performer among the major European automakers. Few automotive brands have been killed off since General Motors ditched the unprofitable Saturn and Pontiac during a U.S. government-led bankruptcy in the global financial crisis in 2008. Tavares is under pressure to revive flagging margins and sales and cut inventory in the United States as Stellantis bets on the launch of 20 new models this year which it hopes will boost profitability. Recent poor results from global carmakers have heightened worries about a weakening outlook for sales across major markets such as the U.S., whilst they also juggle an expensive transition to electric vehicles and growing competition from cheaper Chinese rivals. Japan's Nissan Motor saw first-quarter profit almost completely wiped out on Thursday and slashed its annual outlook, as deep discounting in the United States shredded its margins. Tavares said he would be working through the summer with his U.S. team on how to improve performance and cut inventory.
