Jeep Cherokee Xj Race Rig Rock Crawler Off Road Vehicle on 2040-cars
Charlotte, North Carolina, United States
|
This is a one of kind Jeep Cherokee. This Jeep was custom built Marsfab Off road (marsfab.com) in Harrisburg Nc. The jeep was built to compete in the E.C.O.R.S. (ecors.com) race series. No expense was spared building this rig. Its a top competitor.
Drivetrain: engine is a jeep 4.0 with several mods done. The intake manifold and throttle body were custom ported by Newcomer Racing (newcomerracing.com). Its got 4 hole ford fuel injectors. The air intake was ran through the firewall to the interior. Its got a remote mounted oil filter that runs through a large oil cooler. Engine has custom mount plates and motor mounts by Brown Dog Industries (browndogindustries.com). Engine has a stainless steel header that exits through custom built exhaust. Transmission is an AW4 that is pretty much stock except having the line pressures raised slightly. The transmission is cooled by a remote mounted cooler with its own electric fan. All transmission lines have been rerouted to keep from being smashed by suspension components (common on cherokees used for off road racing). Axles: Front axle is a dana 30. The houseing has been heavily trussed with 3/8ths plate to keep from bending and breaking. The inner c's have been gusseted also. The steering is made up of 7/8ths heim joints and 1.5 inch .25 wall dom tubing. All of the steering mounting points are mounted double sheer. The rear axle is a ford 8.8 with disc brakes. Suspension: The front suspension is a custom marsfab offroad long arm set up with Barnes4wd Enduro joints. The front also has Fox 2.0 remote reservoir shocks and fox 2.0 4" travel air bump stops. To round out the front suspension there is also custom torsional sway bar. In the rear the jeeps got leaf springs mounted with Liquid Iron Industries slider boxes in place of the factory shackles. The rear also has Fox 2.0 remote reservoir shocks. All the shocks have been custom valved and tuned by Carolina Truggies. Chassis: This jeep has a one off custom roll cage. The cage ties into the unibody front to rear to really stiffen the body of the jeep. The cage also passes through the firewall and attaches to shock and bump mount area to stiffen the front end up. There are custom built chassis stiffeners on the bottom side of the jeep also. The interior has been completely stripped from the jeep. Now the inside contains Hunsaker Racing suspension seats mounted into the cage. Its got Racequip 5 point harnesses. There is a custom built aluminum gauge pod. Its also got a Whelen siren inplace of the horn. Really helps when your trying to pass other competitors. Its got a quick release steering too. Misc: Jeeps got bladder style 32 gallon fuel cell. To meet the rules for most race series all fluids have been run to custom built catch cans. The jeeps got a 8000# winch mounted to custom prerunner style bumper. Its got hid off road lights up front. Tow points front and rear. Custom mounted spare tire and high lift jack. First aid kit and fire extinguishers. 33x12.50x15 general grabber red label tires. The list goes on and on. Im sure I am forgetting some things. All in all this is a great race rig or weekend warrior. You could not buy all the parts on it for the buy it now price let alone all the materials and labor in fab time. My loss is your gain. |

Chrysler registers Trackhawk trademark
Wed, 01 Oct 2014There may not be many ways to forecast what an automaker is planning for the future, but there are some. Trademark applications are one of them, and Chrysler has just applied with the US Patent and Trademark Office to protect the name "Trackhawk." The question is, what's it planning on using it for? We don't know for sure, but we can put together an educated guess or two. And one guess is that Jeep will use the name to replace the letters SRT on the performance version of the Grand Cherokee.
How do we figure, you ask? From a number of developments. For starters, the SRT division has been reintegrated into the Dodge brand. Those letters currently appear on only two vehicles from outside the Dodge lineup: one is the Grand Cherokee SRT, and the other is the Chrysler 300 SRT. We've heard ruminations (however unconfirmed) that the latter could be either discontinued or possibly relabeled, and if the same proves true of the GC, the Trackhawk name could serve as a on-road performance counterpart to the Trailhawk label applied to off-road versions of models like the Cherokee and Renegade.
Logical it may be, but it's hardly a foregone conclusion. The Trackhawk name could just as easily be used for a new concept (like the Trailhawk name was in 2007), for another kind of trim level or for something else entirely. In fact we don't even know for sure it'll be used by the Jeep brand specifically, or used at all for that matter. Automakers have been known, after all, to register names they don't end up using.
These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
