1982 Jeep Wagoneer Limited 5.3l Vortec 4l60e Swap Fully Restored on 2040-cars
Cedar City, Utah, United States
This Jeep Wagoneer Limited has just undergone a full restoration by Zephyr's
Speed Shop of Enoch Utah. It started with a motor and transmission swap. The
drivetrain is a 5.3L Vortec motor and a 4L60E transmission that came out of a
2003 Chevy Tahoe with about 90,000 miles. The engine and transmission were then
rebuilt by Anderson Machine Shop and St George Transmission of Cedar City Utah.
The transmission was built for towing and heavy duty applications. By use of an
adapter/clocking ring, this Jeep has retained its NP208 transfer case (that was
rebuilt and resealed) for full selectable 2hi, 4hi, N, 4lo 4-wheel drive capabilities.
New custom heavy duty drive-shafts were also installed. The front Dana 44 and
rear AMC 20 axles were inspected and resealed. New fluids throughout the vehicle.
New brakes, rotors and drums all around. Stops great. The front axle was rebuilt
with high performance brass Warn hubs. Suspension was all rebuilt with Procomp
shocks on all corners and a small 2” lift. This Jeep now has the ride height of
a stock Tahoe or Yukon. All of the parts required to perform this drive
train swap properly came from Novak Adapters out of Logan Utah. The engine
mounts, wiring harness, computer tune, air intake, headers, adapters, aluminum
radiator/electric fan assembly and everything else needed for this swap all
came from Novak. Their parts are great quality and designed and engineered for
this exact application. Custom 3" Magnaflow exhaust is a nice and quiet system that sounds great. With these performance parts, this motor is putting out
about 350 horsepower. Tons of power and torque to tow and off-road to your
hearts content. This Wagoneer also gets great gas mileage at about 23
miles per gallon on the freeway at 80 mph (2000 RPM's).
I have been in love with the Jeep Wagoneer body style for a long time. I
wanted to have one built as if it was a modern day car. This Jeep has all the
options one would want. Power seats, power windows and locks (a few windows run
slow from the new weatherstripping). Fuel injection and modern drive train. New
proper ride height. I believe this is a great representation of what Jeep would
be doing if they were still making this same body style.
There are a few things that I ran out of money before they were finished.
The cruise control has not been set up. The switch and wiring is there, but the
“box” will need to be installed and hooked up under the hood (about $200). The
AC system is also all there. The compressor, dryer, condenser, everything is
there. It needs custom hoses made and to be charged ($500). There are no
speakers in the Jeep. The CD player is installed and speaker wire is run to
each speaker location, but there are no speakers installed ($200). Emergency
events kept me from having this car finished and are forcing this sale.
Let me know if you have any questions or if you want more pictures.

Blake Anderson drives an over-the-top patriotic Jeep
Thu, Jan 15 2015Comedian Blake Anderson is seeing growing success as one of the stars and co-creators of the Comedy Central show Workaholics. Not surprisingly, when you get your own TV show, there's a deep desire to celebrate with a big purchase, a car perhaps. Anderson did just that, but as opposed to plunking his money down on a Porsche or Mercedes-Benz, he took a much more patriotic route. Anderson described his ride as "an American Jeep" in an interview with Conan O'Brien, and he didn't mean that it was from the AMC years of the off-road brand's ownership. Instead, this one is as patriotic as they come thanks to a beautifully regal bald eagle covering the hood with the nation's flag as the background running up at least to the windshield. Hear Anderson's entire story of buying this red, white and blue off-roader in the video above.
This Jeep Forward Control is incredibly clean, for sale
Fri, Jun 10 2016Jeep loves going all out on its Moab Easter Safari concept cars. This year was no exception; aside from an insane 707-horsepower Wrangler, the plucky little FC-150 was the star of the show. Of course, it was artfully restored and given plenty of love before the annual, off-road adventure. Sadly, you can't buy a brand new FC-150 from Jeep anymore, or even any sort of pickup truck for that matter. No, the last time you were able to buy an FC-150 was way back when in 1965. Thankfully, at least one dealer recognized the heritage of this stunning little machine, and has listed a pristine example for sale on eBay for sale on eBay. This one was built in 1958, and only 11,595 miles read on the odometer. That's insanely low for a car this old and this rare. The President Red and Plantation white exterior looks straight from the factory, as do the wheels and tires. Though, you have to imagine that most everything on this car has been restored considerably given the lifespan, even without the dealer outright saying it. Four-wheel drive and a four-speed manual gearbox come standard; there's even a spare tire in case things go wrong on the trail. The cherry on top being the stunningly clean, no-nonsense interior. It's about as factory fresh one might get in a 60-year old Jeep. With a current bid of $14,600 (per this writing), it's not even that expensive. If you're looking to snag a handsome piece of Jeep history, look no further than this. But hurry, there are only a few hours left to bid.

Jeep Grand Cherokee redesign delayed
Sat, Jun 27 2015The launch of the next-gen Jeep Grand Cherokee is being now being pushed back until late 2018 or even into 2019, Jeep CEO Mike Manley indicated Friday, according to Automotive News citing a Reuters report. Under the original five-year plan, the SUV was supposed to be replaced in the third quarter of 2017. That would have made for a big year for Jeep with a refreshed Renegade and new Wrangler also slated for 2017. A delayed Grand Cherokee could send ripples through Jeep's product plans. The three-row Grand Wagoneer is meant to give the brand a vehicle to take on the Land Rover Range Rover, but it's supposed to use the same platform as the Grand Cherokee. This change is rumored to push that important model's launch further back. There's less uncertainty when it comes to the next-gen Wrangler. Manley said that the model was "broadly on track," according to Automotive News. The five-year plan aimed for a launch in the second quarter of 2017. Controversy, however, has swirled over possible plans to move the Wrangler from its longtime Toledo, OH, factory. One problem Jeep doesn't have to worry about right now is sales. According to Automotive News, Manley said volume was up 20 percent globally and could reach 1.2 million by the end of the year. He also indicated the brand was "on pace" to reach its 1.9-million-vehicle goal for 2018. The Grand Cherokee delay comes in the wake of rumors that FCA US is shuffling around its previous five-year vehicle launch plan to postpone several models. Related Video:
