This jeep turns heads as much as a supermodel. WARNING: Once you drive a V8 powered Wrangler, you will never settle for stock engines again!!!
1998 Jeep Wrangler, 5.3L Chevy Vortec engine with 4L60E transmission. Powertrain is from a 2003 Tahoe with 81k miles. Conversion parts from Novak, the kings of Jeep conversions. Too many mods to list, but here are some:
DANA 44 rear end from '03 Wrangler X (rear disc brakes), POWERTRAX rear locker, CORBEAU seats and harnesses, DAKOTA DIGITAL instruments, SKYJACKER 4" suspension lift, 1' body lift, TERA-FLEX control arms, sway bar system, transfer case linkage, HD radiator (NOVAK) with 3000cfm electric fan, BESTOP top, trunk and rear cargo rack, CEPEK wheels, many more. The entire tub has been coated with truck liner and sound deadening.No A/C, but wiring harness is set up for it. Novak makes an A/C kit for about $1,000.00. This is a unique, fast and powerful Jeep. I constantly get comments about how good it looks or how quick it is. I have had many Jeeps and this one is the best by far. Rides extremely well for a lifted Jeep and was my daily driver for the last 3 years (I travel more than 200 days a year; hence the low mileage). 
I bought this Jeep on EBAY Mar, 2009. The seller told me that it had been totaled, but the frame was not bent. I was only home for 15 hours, so didn't have the time to get it checked. I didn't like being lied to about it, so I'm putting it here. The frame was bent, but it has been professionally straightened as part of the conversion. Conversion was completed in May, 2010. This is a RESTORED SALVAGE TITLE Jeep, but you can't tell by looking or driving. All body parts are new except the tub, driver's side door and roll bar. NOTE: Vehicle is OBDII compliant and passes AZ emissions. Aftermarket GM chips work and GM error codes apply.   


On Jan-30-13 at 21:39:12 PST, seller added the following information:

I have over $30k invested in this Jeep but need to sell it to finish my next conversion; '79 MGB Ford 302.

Germany threatens to ban FCA vehicles over diesel emissions dispute

Tue, May 24 2016

Germany is threatening to ban sales of FCA products over diesel emissions. According to the newspaper Bild Am Sonntag, Germany's Federal Motor Transport Authority found evidence of a so-called defeat device that shuts down certain emissions controls after running for 22 minutes. A standard diesel emissions test in the European Union reportedly takes 20 minutes to complete. FCA denies the allegations. "We believe all our vehicles respect EU emissions standards and we believe Italian regulators are the competent authority to evaluate this," the company said in a statement. The latter part of that statement drew ire from German authorities, especially after FCA declined to meet with German transport minister Alexander Dobrindt to discuss the issue. Graziano Delrio, the Italian Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, vowed to work with German authorities on behalf of FCA. According to EU law, FCA is required to homologate its vehicles in Italy because that's where its regional operations are based. When will the diesel-scented soap opera end? We wish we knew, but our Magic 8 Ball is covered in soot.

Chrysler uses Super Bowl spots to honor troops, farmers

Sun, 03 Feb 2013

How do you follow up such revered and successful ads as Chrysler's last two Super Bowl commercials? Imported from Detroit and Halftime in America should be given credit for giving the automaker's public perception a complete overhaul after its rescue from the brink with taxpayer money. What next, then?
We just found out during Super Bowl XLVII. This year Chrysler went with two commercials, one for Jeep and the other Ram. The two-minute-long Jeep commercial, called Whole Again, is narrated by Oprah Winfrey and presented as an open letter to the service men and women of America, simply expressing admiration for what they do - poignant message coming from a company whose history is so entwined with that of the military's.
The Ram commercial, called Farmer, honors the agricultural backbone of this country. Its soundtrack is a speech entitled "So God Made a Farmer" given by the famous radio broadcaster Paul Harvey, which plays over a slideshow of original photography commissioned by Ram. The images, of course, focus on farming and the people who do it for a living, and there's a few Ram trucks in there, as well.
