Sadly it is time for me to sell this jeep. This jeep has under gone a complete transformation from a bone stock wrangler to a completely different vehicle. There has been so many upgrades to this machine I will try to remember most of them but sure I will miss some as I estimate to have about $30,000 worth of just parts and material into this.

The frame:
The frame has been completely gone over, started with cutting off all the original factory mounts and stretching the wheel base both in the rear and front about 6" each. The front stretch was done the right way with removing the factory coil buckets and moving those forward on the frame instead of just the axle. This puts more weight to the rear of the vehicle where it is needed and also allows the front axle to clear the front of the engine under full axle compression. The steering has also been upgraded to use a new steering box for the newer wranglers which helps the vehicle track better. The rear axle was moved back and converted to fit the outboard shocks which helps with road manners. It rides on New, old man emu springs with 4" of lift. After all welding grinding and cutting was done the frame was re-sand blasted and then the entire frame was hot dipped galvanized in a bath of 850 degree molten zinc. This coated the entire frame inside AND out. It was dipped twice and then quenched in chromium. Basically this frame will never rust. Also the crappy stamped rear frame member was replaced with 1/4 box steel and Custom bumper with hitch and back up lights and D ring Clevis was added also 1/4 steel and hot dipped galvanized.

Suspension:
As mentioned all new high quality shocks on all 4 corners, and springs. It has a TNT customs long arm lift on it again with front and rear stretch. ($5,000 alone). All parts are extremely heavy duty rebuildable, greaseable, and powder coated. It has a bomb proof skid plate as well. This kit is top of the line and required extensive cutting and welding to upgrade to this new suspension which rides great for what it is. All welding was done by a certified nuclear reactor welder. Also has jks quick sway bar disconnects in front.

The body:
the original body was scrapped and a newer rust free 02 body was put in place. The body was stripped and the underside was professionally sand blasted and then coated upside down with por-15 so it will never rust. Then the entire tub was rhino lined inside and out with the DuPont Kevlar liner. The good stuff that about $100 a gallon. Then the underside of the tub was covered nearly everywhere with sound deadining mat. Because of this the jeep is relatively quiet even without carpet inside. Every bolt was cleaned and coated with never seize so stuck bolts won't be a issue down the road. The front hood was customized to open like a big rig. The whole front end flips forward and makes working under the hood a breeze.

Interior:
The jeep was driven without carpet for a while but recently put in some black carpet for the winter and looks good. The dash has been updated to the 03+ era with the rotary controls and AC. Also a set of iss-pro ev2 gauges monitor critical vehicle information. During transformation the entire hvac system was also updated to the newer more efficient 03+ system. It was also gone over and has a new ac evaporator core, fan, heater core etc. the seats, dash and everything is all 02+

Drivetrain:
Oh yes the real deal, the jeep is moved by a 4 cylinder 4bt cummins diesel that was rebuilt by cummins approximately 20k miles ago. The engine fires right up every time and runs strong and true. It still has the stock turbo on it which makes about 25 psi of boost. About a month ago the fuel was finally turned up from the stock setting it has been at since new. These adjustments definitely woke it up but I'm sure there is a lot more power to unlock in this motor.
Doesn't use any oil and coolant is always clean. Custom extremely heavy duty motor mounts made from 1/2 steel gusseted everywhere and mounted mid motor to distribute the weight evenly. They are also galvanized.

The transmission is a completely rebuilt automatic 700r4 k case (truck version) the tranny was completely gone through and beefed up everywhere it could. It took some tuning but it now works great behind the diesel and is very strong.
The shifter has been swapped out to a custom fitted b&m shifter and looks and works great.
Transfer case was also rebuilt and a slip yoke eliminator kit was installed to accept the new tom woods drive shaft which connects to the stout ford 8.8 rear axle with disc brakes. The rear axle was recently regeared to a ford racing 4:10 and all new bearings and seals were installed. There is the TNT customs axle truss welded to it with all new spring mounts etc. basically a very strong axle and all new.

Fuel economy:
I currently daily drive this jeep down to Pittsburg daily and average about 25 yes 25 mpg and that's with a lot of stop and go driving. I would guess highway mpg is over 30mpg cause the motor is hardly working. The jeep goes 65 mph comfortably and will easily do 70+ With no death wobble and lots of power left.

Wheels:
The jeep is rolling on new Mickey Thompson mtz's 33's with new moto metal 17" rims.

So why am I selling this awesome vehicle? Simply it's not a great kid hauler. Ive been doing it for about a year now but the kid keeps growing and there's probably more in the future. I know I will kick myself eventually for doing this but it's a necessary evil.

Oh there is also dual batteries with a selector switch in the cab for battery 1 or 2 or both. This way you can run radios or lights or whatever without fear of running the battery to low to start. Or you can turn it to off for a good security system.

The jeep is completely emp bomb (electro magnetic pulse) and taser proof. So basically no electronic failure will shut this jeep down. It's completely mechanical.

I'm sure there is more but I'm tired of typing. Any questions just ask.

Title is clean and will say a 97 with 180k miles or so, even tho nothing is left on this jeep with those miles on it. Approximately 12,000 miles since project completion.

Vehicle is also listed locally so i reserve the right to end the auction early.

Jeep sets all-time sales record in 2012

Wed, 09 Jan 2013

Last year was good to Jeep. Chrysler has announced its trail-rated brand set an all-time global sales record in 2012 by moving 701,626 units. That number easily surpasses the previous record set in 1999 when Jeep sold 675,494 models. All told, the brand saw a 19-percent sales increase worldwide over 2011, and much of that swell can be traced directly to the Wrangler. While the Grand Cherokee led Jeep sales, the Wrangler posted record numbers both globally and within the US, moving 194,142 and 141,669 units in each market, respectively.
Meanwhile, the Compass beat its previous global sales record with 103,321 units rolling off of dealer lots. In the US, Jeep sold 62,010 Patriot units, breaking that model's previous record as well. Jeep's impressive performance in 2012 marks the second year in a row the brand has seen double-digit percentage sales increases. Check out the full press release below.

What does Jeep have cooking with this stretched Cherokee?

Mon, Feb 15 2016

Chrysler has been spotted testing what appears to be a stretched Jeep Cherokee prototype. Which seems odd, considering that Jeep already makes a Grand Cherokee, and that's an entirely different model. The question then is just what the company has in the works here. We don't know for sure – but we do have some ideas. We're anticipating a new Grand Wagoneer to serve as the brand's flagship model, but stretching the Cherokee's wheelbase to leapfrog the Grand Cherokee's would take more than eight inches Â– and stretching a "compact" platform to get there wouldn't seem to make a lot of sense. Alternatively Jeep could be looking to wedge a new model into its lineup in between the Cherokee and Grand Cherokee, potentially offering a third row of seats and wearing the Wagoneer name - sans the "Grand" - as part of a new range of seven-seaters. Just what the point would be, however, when the Dodge Durango already offers three rows based on the same platform as the Grand Cherokee, is a bit of a mystery. Another possibility is that it's not a Jeep at all, but rather a Dodge. The brand is in need of a replacement for the current Journey, and we're also waiting to see what FCA does to replace the Grand Cherokee since it unveiled the Chrysler Pacifica to replace the Town and Country. More of a crossover approach could take the Cherokee's Compact US Wide (CUSW) platform as its starting point, but stretched like this prototype to offer more space. Whatever it is, we're sure this won't be the last we'll have seen of it, so watch this space. Related Video:

Chrysler set to make $266M-investment into 8-speed transmission production

Wed, Dec 10 2014

Chrysler will shortly make a significant $266-million investment into its Kokomo, IN transmission factory in a bid to expand production of its eight-speed automatic transmissions. The gearboxes, which are built under license from Germany's ZF Friedrichshafen, have been well received by customers and critics, and according to an SEC filing obtained by Automotive News, the transmissions will eventually find their way to all of Chrysler's rear-drive offerings (Viper and heavy-duty Ram models, aside). According to AN, a Chrysler spokesman says the investment has not been confirmed, but once it is, it'll mark the company's latest in a growing line of investments at the facility. Chrysler has poured $1.5 billion into Kokomo since 2009.
