5/6/2013 Let's try this one more time. I received multiple inquiries after my most recent listing with offers well over where the bidding got to. If you want to buy the Jeep, bid on it. My reserve is $25K but if I have some decent participation I will consider lowering that number. I will not do a "buy it now". I will be happy to answer any questions about equipment or condition. Condition is easy though, it's new throughout. For those dealers who have inquired, maybe this is a $40 k vehicle off of your lot. It's a show-stopper. Email your questions and if necessary we can go to the phone. In the event of a no-sale, I will negotiate with you after the sale only if you participated. Good luck, bid well, bid often, there is nothing else like this available here. 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.

Next Jeep Wrangler to get hybrid option?
Wed, Jan 21 2015This may the year a Jeep hybrid is officially announced. Really. The Chrysler division may finally be making plans for its first gas-electric powertrain to help boost the group's fuel economy, says UK's Auto Express, citing Mike Manley, CEO of FCA's Jeep division. The guinea pig of sorts may be the Wrangler, which moved almost a quarter-million units in the US last year. The Wrangler could get a hybrid drivetrain by the 2017 model year, as Jeep executives look to maintain the model's feel and torque while boosting its fuel economy. The Wrangler gets a pretty paltry 18 miles per gallon combined out of its six-cylinder mill, so the bar's set pretty low. Of course, we've heard this talk before. In late 2013, Chrysler Asia-Pacific product planning manager Steve Bartoli told Australia's Drive that a Jeep hybrid was pretty much inevitable, though not much has been mentioned since. FCA could use all the help it can get in the fuel economy department. The group brought up the rear among automakers when it came to fuel efficiency, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said in its EPA Trends report released last October. The FCA models combined for a 21.1 miles per gallon average for the 2014 model year, compared to the 24.2 mpg overall industry average. The group's only electric vehicle in the US is the low-volume Fiat 500e, though the company may start selling a plug-in hybrid version of its Chrysler Town & Country by the end of the year.

Stellantis will give its brands 10 years to prove they deserve to live
Thu, May 13 2021Formed by the merger of PSA Peugeot-Citroen and Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles, Stellantis has 14 brands under its roof, a number that makes it one of the largest groups in the industry. Rumors claimed not every brand would survive, with Chrysler often earmarked to get axed, but the firm said it will give them all a chance to shine. "We're giving each (brand) a chance, giving each a time window of 10 years and giving funding for 10 years to do a core model strategy. The CEOs need to be clear in brand promise, customers, targets, and brand communications," announced Stellantis boss Carlos Tavares during the Financial Times' Future of the Car event. His comments confirm Chrysler fans and dealers don't need to worry about the future — at least not yet. And, against all odds, Lancia enthusiasts can breathe a sigh of relief, too. Former FCA head Sergio Marchionne warned of the brand's demise on several occasions. Alfa Romeo is safe for now, too, as is Vauxhall, which are basically just Opels sold in the United Kingdom with a different badge. The engagement made by Tavares also means Stellantis won't divest any of its brands to raise capital until at least 2031. It's now up to each executive team to make a case for the brand they run, an unusual survival-of-the-fittest strategy in an era when cutting costs is more common than spending cash. Diving into the vast Stellantis parts bin should help even the most troubled brands turn their fortunes around on a relatively tight budget. It seems likely that survive Chrysler will need to look beyond the 300 and the Pacifica/Voyager, the only models in its range, and completely reinvent its image, which is currently nebulous at best. Lancia, once the champion of luxury, performance, and innovation, faces the same challenge. It's not starting quite from scratch, it's relatively popular in its home country of Italy, but it will need to think globally and expand outside of the city car segment to survive.

Fiat Chrysler to get $105M fine from NHTSA for recall woes
Sun, Jul 26 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is about to send a powerful message to automakers doing business in the United States, assuming reports of an upcoming $105 million fine against Fiat Chrysler Automobiles comes to fruition. In addition to the record-setting monetary fine, according to The Wall Street Journal, FCA will have to accept an independent auditor that will monitor the company's recall and safety processes and will be forced to buy back certain recalled vehicles. In other cases, such as with Jeep Grand Cherokee and Liberty models with gas tanks that could potentially catch fire in certain types of accidents, FCA will offer financial encouragement for owners to get their recall work done or to trade those older vehicles in on new cars, according to the report. FCA could reportedly reduce its fines if it meets certain conditions, though those remain unclear at this time. These actions against FCA are being taken after NHTSA began a probe into the automaker over almost two dozen separate instances where the government claims FCA failed to follow proper procedures for recalls and safety defects. Included in those safety lapses are more than 11 million vehicles currently in customer hands. These penalties and fines are separate from the investigation over security problems with Chrysler's Uconnect system that allowed hackers to obtain remote access into key vehicle systems in 1.4 million vehicles.
