1997 Jeep Wrangler 5.7l V8 on 2040-cars
Cape Coral, Florida, United States
|
Up for auction is my 1997 Jeep wrangler with a 5.7L small block Chevy 350 and a 700r4 transmission. My goal for this jeep was to make it a simple vehicle to work on as well as visually appealing and I personally believe that I have succeeded. There are no complicated fuel systems needed to diagnose or intricate computer systems to troubleshoot. Anybody who knows Chevy motors would be able to work on this jeep with no trouble. This vehicle runs and drives well. It has great low end power with the ability to cruise 80 miles on the highway no problem. This Jeep has not been abused at all. For the most part it was garage kept except on sunny days when riding to the beach. The odometer on the jeep list 195930 but I did the swap at 182000 miles so the power train only has 14,000 miles on it. I am the second owner. As soon as I purchased the Jeep I parked it in my garage and began the conversion. The reason I am selling is because of the lack of use it gets in my possession. The majority of the 4 years I’ve owned it, it just sits in the garage. So I would like to now use that space to build a caf? racer. Here’s a list of a few of the main specs/mods I have done: POWERTRAIN 5.7 L Chevy V8 350ci (Remanufactured Crate motor) 700r4 Transmission (Rebuilt from Goodfellas transmissions in Tarpon Springs) March Performance Serpentine Kit Lokar 700r4 linkage shifter NP231 Transfer case Transfer case cable shifter MSD Hei Distributor Edelbrock 1400 Carburator 3 Core radiator with transmission cooler ports Electric fan w/ shroud Stand alone Transmission cooler Custom Exhaust with muffler and catalytic converter 4.11 Gears Edelbrock Performance 2101 intake manifold Conversion adapters through Advance Adapters and Novak EXTERIOR Freshly painted exterior within the last 2 years Rugged Ridge Side rails Warn Front Bumper with a grill guard and winch mount 9000lb winch Fender Flares Hood lock for security New Bestop Top Mirror relocation bracket so that you can ride with the doors off still have mirrors. INTERIOR Freshly painted interior within the last 2 years Upgraded to 03-06 roll bar padding Upgraded to 03-06 Sound Pods with light All the gauges in the instrument cluster works with the conversion except the tach so there is an aftermarket tach on the dashboard Dashboard blue led upgrade CD/MP3/USB head unit Alpine Mono Amp Sony Explode Subwoofer Speaker upgrade to 5.25 speakers in dash and 6.5 polk audio’s in speaker pods Both the front and rear seats are vinyl. Not covers. Interior lined with truck bed lining Fuel Pump cut off switch for security Jeep branded grab handles SUSPENSION 16x Moto Metal wheels Goodyear Duratrac 305x70x16 tires with 95% tread left Full Size Spare tire holder 3” Zone lift kit Adjustable upper control arms The front brake pads have <300 miles on them and the rear shoes still have plenty of life on them. The brake lines were flushed 2 months ago. Plus much more… To see more pictures of this Jeep go to http://imgur.com/a/XIjgf If you would like a specific picture to be taken, message me and I will try to take it as soon as possible. I understand that it may be a little intimidating to buy a vehicle so I am trying to make it as easy as possible so I have created a video for your viewing pleasure. These are not the best quality videos but it can give you something to judge off of before you come see the jeep. To see a video of a test drive of this jeep click https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjhpkuhIHQo Another video of the jeep driving at highway speeds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cB9NDW0pIUY&feature=youtu.be There aren’t many flaws at all on this jeep, but I want to be open with the jeep so the only ones I can find are a small scratch on the driver door. The Pulley kit comes with the AC Compressor and the Jeep’s OEM setup had A/C as well, I just haven’t had the work done to finish the setup. It really just needs an accumulator and a shop to hook up the hoses to the compressor. With the windows down or doors off, I never had a need for A/C but at least you know its not too much more work needed to get A/C if necessary. And the driver sun panel may need to be stitched up (seen in the pictures). I have a clean title in hand. This jeep is road ready. Bring cash and your own license plate and drive it home if you want. Keep in mind that this is a FL jeep so I have not had to have any emissions tests. Buyer is responsible for researching their state's registration requirements. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask or come and see it for yourself. I will need a non refundable $500 paypal deposit within 24 hours of auction ending and the rest of the payment within 7 days of auction ending. I’ll accept cash or cashier checks for payment. Jeep is listed locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Any ebay members with less than 10 feedback MUST message me prior to bidding or their bid will be cancelled. Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs and arrangement. This vehicle is being sold as is, where is with no
warranty, expressed written or implied. *Buyers Inspection: I have done my best to
disclose all information known about this Jeep for auction. I welcome a buyer’s
inspection. If you plan to have an inspection, please make ?sure you inspect
the vehicle prior to the auction ending. If you choose not to inspect the
vehicle prior to purchase, you are responsible to use the photos provided
and ask questions before purchase to ensure the Jeep meets your expectations
upon pickup. Inspection fees, if any, are Buyers responsibility. Winning bidder has committed to buy, not look. On Apr-04-14 at 15:18:22 PDT, seller added the following information: No Reserve and I am not ending auction early. Highest bidder on Monday night will win the Jeep!

2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio vs. 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk: On-paper sibling rivalry
Thu, Feb 15 2018Pricing was revealed for the 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio, and with its $81,590 price tag, it's within range of yet another high-performance SUV from Fiat-Chrysler: the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk. The Hellcat-powered Jeep is more expensive than the Stelvio at $86,995, but depending on options, the price advantage might go either way. This left us wondering, how similar are these two high-powered SUVs? Besides sharing the same number of words in their very-long names, we took a look at some of their performance specs and put them in the spreadsheet below. As always, if you want to compare either of these with other speedy SUVs, be sure to try out our comparison tools. As far as outright speed, both SUVs are surprisingly close. The Trackhawk is just a bit quicker in a straight line, hitting 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds as opposed to the Alfa's 3.9. The Jeep's 180-mph top speed is also 3-mph quicker than the Alfa. But neither of these differences is especially huge. What makes this interesting is how different the paths each SUV takes to get to its results. The Trackhawk accomplishes the task with pure grunt. It has Dodge's Hellcat supercharged 6.2-liter V8 making 707 horsepower and 645 pound-feet of torque to overcome its hefty 5,363-pound body. The Alfa, on the other hand, makes do with less power and torque, 505 and 443, respectively, from its twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V6. It has less weight, though. Exactly how much less we're not sure, since Alfa hasn't revealed that number, but a regular Stelvio weighs right around 4,000 pounds, so we would guess the weight is similar, possibly a little more. View 14 Photos The differences in how each SUV achieves its performance should result in pretty different driving characteristics, and probably different buyers. Each SUV's bragging points also indicates this. The Trackhawk boasts an impressive 11.6-second claimed quarter-mile time, something that American muscle car fans everywhere care about. The Alfa brags about how it's the fastest production SUV to lap the Nurburgring, something sure to impress fans of foreign cars and those that value handling over straight-line performance. So really, although these two SUVs have performance similarities, they're also very different, and the right one for you depends on what you value. View 29 Photos Also, as an afterthought, we wonder if the guys that attempted a Viper record at the 'Ring would be up for trying to break the Alfa time with the Jeep.
Going high-tech, the 4x4 way
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Is It An Off-Road Adventure Or Just A Walk In The Park?
I remember having to get out and lock hubs and shift into neutral to engage low range.
Coming off press previews of the 2013 Land Rover Range Rover and the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee that involved some heavy-duty off-road rock climbing, I'm simply amazed at the capabilities that these vehicles possess. But even more impressive (or troubling depending on your perspective) is the relative ease with which you can operate these vehicles in seemingly impossible terrain.
NHTSA closes investigation on 4.7M FCA power modules, no recall
Thu, Jul 30 2015FCA US hasn't had the best time with recalls as of late. Not only did the company recently agree to greater safety oversight and paid $105 million to the government, that came just days after hacking fears prompted a 1.4-million model recall campaign. However, a recent decision to close an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration means that the automaker doesn't have to worry about another major recall possibly affecting 4.7 million vehicles, according to the agency's report (as a PDF). Last September, the Center for Auto Safety petitioned NHTSA to investigate an alleged problem with the totally integrated power module (TIPM) on these FCA US models. The group claimed that a fault with the component could cause a variety of maladies, including stalls, not starting, catching fire, unintended acceleration, and airbag non-deployment. At the time, it also submitted 70 cases where this had reportedly happened. According to NHTSA, "no valid evidence was presented in support of claims related to airbag non-deployment, unintended acceleration, or fire resulting from TIPM faults and these claims were found to be wholly without merit based on review of the field data and design of the relevant systems and components." The agency did find signs of an issue with the fuel pump relay in some Jeep Grand Cherokees and Dodge Durangos, but FCA US issued recalls for the problem in September 2014 and February 2015. Without anything else to go on, the Feds don't think it's worth investigating this topic any more.
