This is among the most incredible jeeps you will find. There is absoultey nothing that needs to be done with this. It has the custom paint, frame, fabrication and the motor and drivetrain to back up its bada$$ looks. This jeep has a 327 built chromed out motor that is equipped with a racing cam, Edlebrock 650 or 750 carb, and heddman headers. This motor when changing fluids is only fueled with the best with 93 octane fuel, additives, and the best parts our store can get(Spark plugs, ect.). We recently payed a professional to polish the jeep from the bottom up as to show the buyer the true potential in its physical(not photographic) state. My father is the owner of this jeep and is one of those people that when he builds something and is done he gets in a mood to start on something else. This jeep has to be seen to be believed how insanely clean and pristine it truly is. The picture commits no justice to what happens when it truly meets the eye. 

It has a three inch rancho lift and runs on 33/12.50/15 thorn birds. The tires ride on what i believe is an older type of american racing wheel but like the rest of the jeep both are in near perfect condition. This is among the best sounding gas vehicles i have ever heard. The exhaust is loud when you want to hit the big Rpms but still quiet enough to hear when you are cruising down the road as fast as you feel comfortable. No speed is unobtainable with this monster. This is so clean you could comfortably eat off any part of this thing. 

The interior consists of new black matching leather with new carpet and weather tech floor mats. IT has a b&m shifter to handle handle the custom tranny below it to what i believe to be around 400 horse to the rear wheels, but for you power power guys it is prob around 500 motor. 

One another note. This has not been out in the rain. It is either in the garage, out on a sunny day, or in our storage unit underneath the cover. This jeep has got more followers and stares than any other jeep we have owned. We do not do shows, we build things the way we want and then start on something new. I would like to see someone take as clean of care of this as we did while easily winning whatever show they choose to partake in. Please let me know if there is anything you need. I have paperwork on all parts. And there are receipts for over 35k in this jeep. Call/ text 2178219929 or 2178214380. Our names are Kolby and/or Brad and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have. P.S. We still have some very minor "bolt together" things we have to do yet but the jeep will be in perfect* condition when buyer makes purchase. Which is also for sale locally. We are in Central Illinois so if you would like to come take a look or a test drive please let us know by calling the previous numbers given. 

Thanks
Kolby and Brad

100,000 Jeep Cherokee models subject to further 9-speed recalibration

Thu, 29 May 2014

It seems that the software problems with the nine-speed automatic gearbox in the Jeep Cherokee continue to mount. The programming already caused multiple development delays and even postponed the Cherokee's market launch by roughly two months. Now, Jeep has issued another recalibration to hopefully assuage unhappy drivers.
According to Automotive News, this reflash for the allegedly jerky transmission covers over 100,000 Cherokees built before May 5, but it's not technically a recall. If owners are having problems and complain to the dealer, they get the new software. Otherwise, they continue with the current version. New vehicles on dealer lots also receive the latest revision to the programming. It takes only around five minutes to install, but technicians need to take the Cherokee on a test drive to adapt the gearbox to the changes.
The Cherokee's transmission software has been problematic practically since the beginning. The Jeep plant in Toledo, OH, briefly idled its second-shift workers last year to take care of the issue. Since the launch issues for the crossover, demand has been strong. Jeep added another 1,000 temporary workers to the Toledo factory to keep up, and sales were on par with the Wrangler in just its first two months.

2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT Night puts on a dark face

Thu, Nov 19 2015

We'd love to tell you that the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT you see above is powered by a hellish 707-horsepower supercharged V8 engine, but we can't. We hope that's coming soon, but in the meantime, we'll all just have to live in a world where an SUV with a 6.4-liter engine sends a mere 475 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque to all four wheels. So it goes, right? It's not a Trackhawk, and it's not a Hellcat. This is the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT Night. That basically means it's just like all other 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT models, except that any and all brightwork has been replaced with gloss black bits. To complete the dark and mysterious look, all of the car's badging, its front fascia and its unique set of 20-inch wheels are done up in a satin-black finish. The body can be ordered in Velvet Red, Billet Silver and Granite Crystal (dark grey). Inside, as you'd expect, all the chrome has been painted black, and the black leather seats have silver stitching. Sure, we want to see the Hellcat engine dropped inside the Grand Cherokee SRT just as much as you do, but it's hard to complain about a 4.8-second 0-60 time or a top speed of 160 miles per hour. Feel free to read more in the press release below. 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT Night The new Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT Night features a stealth-like appearance with the roof, rear spoiler, front grille bezels, B and C pillars and side window surrounds all adorned in Gloss Black. The front applique is Satin Black, as is badging on the hood and rear liftgate. New lightweight, split five-spoke "5Ten" 20-inch wheels are also finished in Satin Black and are designed to showcase the Grand Cherokee SRT8's standard Brembo brakes. Interior appointments include Black Laguna leather with Silver accent stitching and Light Black Chrome bezels. Available colors for the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT Night include Velvet Red, Billet Silver and Granite Crystal. Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT Night features a standard 6.4-liter V-8 engine with Fuel Saver Technology that delivers 475 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. of torque, an adaptive damping suspension and a Selec-Track Traction Control system. Available features include a dual-pane sunroof, a 19-speaker 825-watt Harman Kardon stereo system, trailer tow package, three-season tires, a full-size spare tire and a dual-screen rear entertainment system.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee probed by NHTSA for brake problems

Sun, Jun 7 2015

Remember how Toyota got in all kinds of trouble over unintended acceleration? Well, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating Jeep over unintended braking. NHTSA has announced a probe of 20,000 Grand Cherokee SUVs from model year 2014. Nine complaints have been received, with owners alleging that their Jeeps have issued brake warnings or gone ahead and applied the brakes when no threat was presented. Each complaint alleges that the vehicles have exhibited this behavior repeatedly, leading to a "sudden reduction in vehicle speed in traffic." So basically, a system designed to prevent accidents could actually increase the odds of a collision happening. Speaking to the Associated Press, Jeep spokesperson Eric Mayne said owners whose vehicles are exhibiting this behavior should report to dealers, while adding that the automatic braking/adaptive cruise control systems can be deactivated. Related Video: Scroll down for the official bulletin on the investigation from NHTSA. Date Investigation Opened: JUN 01, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: PE15021 Component(s): FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE Manufacturer: Chrysler (FCA US LLC) SUMMARY: The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received nine complaints alleging inappropriate activations of the autonomous braking system in model year (MY) 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles. All nine reports alleged unexpected braking incidents preceded by collision imminent brake warnings and resulting in sudden reduction in vehicle speed in traffic. Two complaints reported autonomous braking incidents with no objects on the road resulting in rapid increase in brake force and anti-lock braking system (ABS) activations. The complaints alleged experiencing multiple events at different locations and road conditions. A Preliminary Evaluation has been opened to assess the frequency, scope and consequences of the alleged defect. The following VOQ numbers are associated with the issues discussed in this resume: 10543837, 10713629, 10690650, 10663320, 10630362, 10596913, 10533622, 10533524, 10651269.
