This Jeep is in very good condition and it is going to be hard to find a vehicle like this one for the money. The paint is Viper Red and is in pretty good condition, there are some imperfections in it. 

The motor is a Grooms High Performance 350 with 4000 miles and the motor is rated at around 300HP. The motor is running 9.5 to 1 flat top pistons, 280 comp cam, and built 963 heads. The transmission is a 350 turbo with a hurst ratchet shifter in the floor changing the gears. The transfer case is a NP205 with custom shifters to make it easier to go from 2L, 2H, 4L, and 4H... that's right -- four selections :-) 

The Dana 44 rear axle has been completely rebuilt and runs 4:10 gears with a Detroit TruTrac locker. The Dana 30 front axle also has been completely rebuilt and it also runs 4:10 gears. With this set-up the jeep is running custom driveshafts to the front and rear axles. This Jeep's steering is running a new rebuilt steering box and Flaming River Shaft. 

Suspension is made up with a 4" SkyJacker Soft Ride lift, custom 1 1/4" body lift, and a 1/2" shackle lift. The shackles are built out of 1/2"x 2 1/2" plate with a 2"x 2" center support. The tires are BRAND NEW 35 x 12.50 Mickey Thompson Baja MTZs running on 15x10 aluminum wheels. To help get your flex on even more in this jeep just undo the sway bar disconnects up front and you're good to go. 

The interior has Think Jeep front seats and a Bestop Fold and Tumble rear seat, the seat belts are also new and they are 3" racing belts up front and 2" in the rear. The inside of the tub is coated with Hercules roll in bed liner. The Windshield and the windshield gasket is also new. On the body parts there are lots of new parts and they are one-piece fiberglass front end, fender flares, all new Stainless Steel bumpers, windshield and tailgate hinges, mirrors, alum. rocker guards, corners, and half doors, and there are many more new parts that are stainless or alum.. 

For cover this jeep comes with Hard Top, Hard Doors, and bikini top. The only reason I am selling this jeep is because I have bought another project to build and I can't have that many toys. This jeep has over $20,000 invested in it not counting all of the labor. There are still many new parts on this Jeep that I have not mentioned and everything that I have for a jeep that is not on this one will go with this one. I have parts that I have never taken out of the box for this jeep.

** I would NOT consider this Jeep a daily driver in its current configuration. It is perfectly streetable going to the trails, camping, around town, etc. but it is set up for off-road primarily.

Chrysler defies NHTSA, says it won't recall 2.7M Jeep Grand Cherokee, Liberty models

Wed, 05 Jun 2013

Facing a possible recall totaling around 2.7 million of its most popular SUVs, Chrysler remains insistent that the 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty are safe vehicles. This comes on the heels of a recall request from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for these two models due to fuel tanks mounted behind the rear axle, which could possibly be ruptured during severe rear-end collisions, leading to an increased risk of fire. In response to the allegations, Chrysler says that it does not agree with NHTSA nor does it plan on recalling either vehicle.
Chrysler said both SUVs "met and exceeded" the requirements for fuel-system integrity, and cooperated fully with NHTSA since the investigation was opened in 2010. While 15 deaths and 46 injuries have been reported from fires caused by rear-end collisions on these models, Chrysler is claiming that the vast majority of incidents cited by NHTSA were "high-energy crashes," including one where a stopped Grand Cherokee was rear-ended by a tractor trailer going 65 miles per hour.
The automaker wraps up by saying "NHTSA seems to be holding Chrysler Group to a new standard for fuel tank integrity that does not exist now and did not exist when the Jeep vehicles were manufactured." Scroll down for Chrysler's official response to NHTSA, but we're pretty sure this isn't the last we've heard on this issue.

Jeep to stop using bad Takata airbag inflators next week

Tue, Jun 21 2016

FCA is gradually ceasing to produce vehicles equipped with Takata airbag inflaters found to be inherently faulty. These airbags, which lack a certain drying agent, have been linked with dangerous premature ruptures. According to FCA, the only vehicle still in production with the named airbag is the 2016 Jeep Wrangler, and in this case they are passenger-side airbags. Fiat Chrysler says it isn't aware of any incidents involving these air bag inflaters in Jeeps, but amidst concerns that vehicles with failure-prone airbags are still being marketed to customers, North American-market 2016 Wranglers will cease to be equipped with them starting next week. As per FCA's statement, global production is expected to end by mid-September. In addition to Toledo, Ohio, the Wrangler is produced in Egypt. FCA isn't going to sell the cars with the deemed-faulty airbags without disclosing the fact to the customers: anyone buying a 2016 Wrangler will be notified that the vehicle will most likely be subject to a recall in the future, even if there is not currently a recall announced for them. NHTSA has specified a "Coordinated Remedy Program" recall schedule for the coming years, and the airbag inflaters will degrade over a time frame of several years, when subjected to a humid environment.

Car Club USA: Louisiana Mudfest

Tue, Jun 16 2015

There's nothing quite like mudding. Big tires, huge power, and crazy-wild gearheads that like to throw down on a mud pit almost as much as a thirty rack of Coors. In the latest, and some might argue greatest yet episode of Car Club USA, we head to Louisiana to throw some dirt at Mudfest. As Louisiana's one and only Mouth of the South puts it, "If you don't mud ride... go to Texas I guess." Joining The Mouth and friendly rivals The Most Hated Mud Sluts, we dive in. Beyond the obvious V8 blasting and tractor-tire spinning, those who know best describe Mudfest as, "Good cooking, good friends, good fun, and a lot of partying." It's a motorsport spectacle unlike any you're likely to find up North or out West, though no less impressive to behold. Follow along with the fun, the impromptu drag racing, the trash talking, and the mechanical madness. And find out why, at Mudfest, "if we don't tear it up, we ain't done it right." Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures.
