1998 Xj Jeep Rock Crawler Trail Rig Daily Driver Cherokee 2 Door $13k Invested on 2040-cars
Clarksville, Iowa, United States
|
This is a HIGHLY modified professionally built 2 door XJ Cherokee. This jeep has been on trails in Colorado, Minnesota, and many other advanced trail systems and will run right with the $25,000 buggys. It only has 154,000 original miles and runs like new. It has the bullet proof 4.0 inline six and the auto transmission and the best transfer case Jeep has, the NP231 with a SYE (slip yoke eliminator) kit.
This also comes with a brand new ON Board air system from Viair!!
This jeep was built by a professional 4x4 shop. It has everything you need to do whatever you want. When someone asks, "where do you drive this thing", you simply answer, "anywhere I want".This unit is being offered for much, much less than you can even BEGIN to build one. I have a list of original receipts from the professional 4x4 shop that did all the work, and it totals around $10,000!! (that's not even buying a good solid 2 door XJ which is a tough find in itself. I am selling this Jeep to purchase a small cabin that my whole family can enjoy. I just replaced the complete ARB pump and wiring yesterday. The old pump quit and the new one came with new wiring. I have pix of me testing it out going up some very steep ditches. I also just replaced the tie rod and drag link including all tie rod ends, with heavy duty replacements from the ZJ. Here's a list of some of the mods: Exterior 35"x12.50 17 BFGoodrich KM2 MT Mud Terrain tires x 5 (In great shape as you can see in the pix) (one wheel has a small dent that doesn't affect performance) Bushwacker Pocket flares ARB Snorkel kit JCR Offroad Winch Bumper JCR Offroad Tire Carrier Rock Krawler rear bumper JCR Offroad Gas Tank Skid Plate Rough Country 9500 winch with wireless remote control!! JCR Offtroad Rock Sliders Paint has trail wounds and scratches and a few dings and small dents. (see pix) It is not a show truck. This Jeep is for the trail... and let me tell you, IT TURNS HEADS GOING DOWN THE ROAD!!! Be ready to talk when you stop...anywhere there are people. :) Door pins are warn (common Jeep thing) Mechanical D30 front axle with a D44 rear (Both have Ruffstuff Differential covers) Disc brakes all the way around! 4.56 gears ARB Air Lockers front and rear Front and Rear CV driveshafts. (Unit comes with replacement driveshafts for trail emergencies) NP 231 Transfer Case with the SYE Kit (slip yoke eliminator) It does have an exhaust leak. Otherwise the exhaust is nice. Flowmaster Suspension A FREAK!!!! This unit has the Rough Country 6.5" Long Arm Suspension Kit with the adjustable control arms. It also has a HD skid plate. 1.75 coil spacers and blocks in the rear bring the total lift to over 8"! 3 link front with an upgraded steering stabilizer, track bar, etc... You won't find a more flexible XJ! It also has quick release front stabilizer pins with storage mounts to hand them out of the way. This makes it easy to switch from the trail to the road. In Colorado you have to drive several miles on the road to get to the next trail system at times. Interior Seats are in great shape with no flaws or stains. No smoking in it. Cruise even works! Air doesn't (who needs air...windows down in a Jeep) Rear carpet has some staining from trail usage (carrying spare driveshafts and jack etc. Has a fully charged fire extinguisher Headliner is like it should be (still up and clean) The carpet has been removed and sprayed with bedliner. The door handle on the drivers side inside needs replaced. ( you can still get in and out) No foul smells. actually smells good! overall this Jeep is a super option for the hardcore Jeep guy or the new to Jeep guy. It is ready to be a daily driver (20MPG on the hwy!), or it would be perfectly happy being a fully dedicated trail rig. Whatever your plan is for it, it will be ready! I have copies of all the receipts that were spent at the 4x4 shop. Over $10,000 worth in parts. You would be crazy to build one. It would cost you double what you can buy this one for. Once again, this is not going to win the local show and shine award, but I will promise you that you won't find a better head turner, and even more importantly, a rig that will go where this one will! I have the auction ending before the 4th of July! Buy it now and have it ready for the weekend!! Call 319-231-8974 or text with questions. The Jeep is located in Waverly, Ia. I will work with shippers, but won't set up the shipping. I collect a $750 deposit within 48 hours of the end of the auction. The Jeep must be paid within 7 days of the auction close or it will be re listed. No games. I'm sure if you have read this far, you can picture yourself riding through the trails in this beauty!!! Or the Hwy!! |

2014 Jeep Patriot and Compass ditch CVT for six-speed auto
Mon, 07 Jan 2013It was reported in Automotive News a few months ago, but a new report on Allpar.com adds some details to news that the 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot will get a six-speed automatic to replace the CVTs they currently use. According to a tip provided to Allpar, the 2014 models will begin production in March and be on sale sometime in the summer. The Jatco-sourced CVT in use until now - Jatco is owned by Nissan and Mitsubishi - has been often criticized, and many won't be sad to see it go.
The incoming six-speed automatic is said to be an all-wheel-drive cog-swapper that's the work of Hyundai and Magna and has been paired with the DynaMax AWD system used in the Hyundai ix35 and Kia Sportage. It won't be the only Chrysler product using a transmission with ties to Hyundai: the six-speed automatic in the Dodge Dart comes from Powertech, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hyundai. With the Patriot and Compass said to be driving down the trail for the last time this year, it will be a short run for the new tranny and the rumored addition of a backup camera and power rear liftgate on the Compass.
FCA fibbed on sales according to internal report
Mon, Jul 25 2016Following last week's news that Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) is under investigation by the Department of Justice and Securities and Exchange Commission for allegedly fudging sales figures, a new report in Automotive News says an internal investigation at FCA uncovered misreported sales. According to the AN story, 5,000 to 6,000 vehicles from various FCA brands were reported sold by dealers, but no customers existed for those cars. FCA sales chief Reid Bigland has already put a stop to the practice. One potential reason for the practice was to maintain the company's month-to-month sales increase streak, currently at 75 months. In April, FCA added a lengthy disclaimer to its sales announcements: "FCA US reported vehicle sales represent sales of its vehicles to retail and fleet customers, as well as limited deliveries of vehicles to its officers, directors, employees and retirees. Sales from dealers to customers are reported to FCA US by dealers as sales are made on an ongoing basis through a new vehicle delivery reporting system that then compiles the reported data as of the end of each month. "Sales through dealers do not necessarily correspond to reported revenues, which are based on the sale and delivery of vehicles to the dealers. In certain limited circumstances where sales are made directly by FCA US, such sales are reported through its management reporting system." FCA did not provide comment to Automotive News.

2014 Jeep Cherokee configurator up and running
Fri, 09 Aug 2013Production delays aside, Jeep is steaming towards its September on-sale date for the 2014 Cherokee. The reborn midsizer's configurator has just gone live, meaning you can fiddle with different options, colors and trim levels to your heart's content.
The cheapest model available is the 4X2 Sport, which starts at a reasonable $22,995. On the high end, the Cherokee's builder allowed us to indulge our passion for ludicrously priced vehicles by outfitting the top-end Trailhawk, which already starts at $29,495, with $8,610 in options. The resulting car, which you can see above, would retail for $39,100 after the $995 destination is factored in.
Head on over to Jeep's build-it-yourself website and have a look around.
