|
98 XJ Sport, 4.0/AW4/231
111,xxx miles, Shell Rotella synthetic run for the last 11k. Engine has received a stellar bill of health via oil analysis from Blackstone labs. Motor was recently tuned up (plugs, wires, cap, rotor) and I installed a new distributer at the same time. Jeep was lifted/axle swapped at 100k miles, I've owned the jeep since 86k, and have worked on it since ~60k miles. I bought it from a friend and I am the third owner. Maintenance was always done on time; it was dealer maintained by the first owner. The Jeep has been wheeled but never beaten on. There are only 3 actual wheeling trips on this rig. Here is the modification list: Engine/Driveline: 99+ intake manifold THOR cowl intake APN header Catalytic convertor replaced with OEM at 90k Flowmaster 50 muffler Brown Dog poly motor mounts and engine brackets Poly trans mount New CSF radiator and fan clutch within the last year Valve cover gasket replaced less than 1k miles ago AW4 filter screen replaced and fluid flushed last summer, temp gauge and external cooler fluid installed and it runs at 100F on the highway, never gets into the yellow around town. New A/C compressor but the system has a slow leak somewhere, I charge it up in late May and it lasts the whole summer (works great when charged). 231 has HD SYE (not sure of brand) Front axle: 1978 ford HP44 5.13 Yukon gears, OX locker, Reid knuckles, Nitro alloy shafts and 760x joints Parts Mike highsteer knuckle on passenger side for true crossover steering Tie rod is heims over the knuckle, drag link is TREs, trackbar uses heims as well. PSC hydro assist kit with cooler and delphi "fast" ratio box... faster than stock, not the race box however. warn premium hubs, stage 8 locking locking spindle nuts All seals, bearings, brakes, ball joints etc are new Custom truss and inner C gussets, uses factory XJ/TJ/ZJ control arm bracket geometry Rear axle: late 80s ford D60-ISU 5.13 Yukon gears, Lock-Right locker, disc brake kit (Ford 1/2 ton rotors, 1/2 ton chevy calipers, Impala SS pads), factory 35 spline shafts, Ballistic cover and axle bridge Suspension: Rock Krawler 4 link kit, Deaver 5.5 coils and Deaver G9 leaf springs... the best you can buy for a Cherokee XJ HDOffroad shackle relocators and RE 1.5" shackles Custom valved Bilstein 9100 shocks... 11" travel 2.5 weld top fronts with remote resi and 13" travel 2.0 rears with remote resi. rear shocks are threaded for coilover hardware. Prothane bumpstops I also added a Dodge 2500 master cylinder and Wilwood adjustable proportioning valve for extra power and adjustment of the bigger brakes. Jeep is plated front to back with HDOffroad stiffeners, with extra stiffening on the inside, outside, and bottom of steering box area. Jeep is also caged (not finished) with a hybrid-style cage using 1.75x.120 DOM tube. Rockers were cut out and replaced with 2x5x.25 wall box tube. Other extras include a TNT belly skid, DPG gas tank skid, JCR corner guards with LEDs, Dirtbound Offroad rear bumper, and custom front bumper/crossmember replacement. The factory front crossmember was cut out and was replaced with the 2x5x.25" box tube front end. It is also drilled and ready for a winch to be mounted behind the bumper. Headlights are Hella DOT H4 headlight upgrades with harness, and there are Hella micro DE fog lamps cut into the front bumper. I added LED rock lights and reverse lights as well as a LED lightbar (which may or may not be included with the jeep, depending on purchase price). There is a prime4x4 switch panel in the jeep as well as a marine fuse box in the engine bay for extra accessories. Also has heated mirrors, factory overhead console, LED interior lights, and a Viper remote start/keyless entry system. Sub/Headunit/Speakers may or may not be included depending on selling price. Sub is a 10" Rockford P3 driven by an Infinity amp, Kenwood Excelon deck w/iPod control, and (4) Polk db 6.5" speakers. C02 tank and tow rope show in trunk NOT INCLUDED. Has brand new hatch struts. Tires are 35" MTZs on H2 wheels, tires were bought new when the lift was installed. I have extra parts/spares/fab parts and DOM tube which can be added to the jeep as well when it sells. I have a spare 35" BFG AT with 30-40% tread left on another H2 wheel as a spare, and have a 35" MTZ with 10-20% tread unmounted. I built this Jeep to be able to drive across the country, go offroad, and drive back home. It was built for 37" tires and will handle those comfortably. It can drive on the highway at 75 MPH without issue.... No vibes, no wobbles. It is very easy to drive and it 100% daily-driveable. It has it quirks like all built Cherokees do, but nothing major. The doors have been modded for easy removal so they are a bit out of alignment but shut just fine normally, there are a few dents/scratches but the Jeep is very clean outside and in. The windshield has a crack but it still passes inspection. The rear is a bit lower than the front right now, but all that needs to be done to fix this is move the shackles forward one hole on the brackets and shims added to the rear to set the pinion angle. This Jeep is a joy to drive onroad and off, but I don't use it anymore so it is time for it to go. I may be forgetting a few details here and there, feel free to ask. Price is negotiable, can include/remove pieces to change price. |

2014 Jeep Cherokee musters 22 MPG city, 31 highway
Thu, 05 Sep 2013Production and media drive delays included, there has been no lack of press surrounding the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. With the most recent delay reportedly due to powertrain calibrations, we've been waiting to see how the Cherokee's fuel economy looks against the highly competitive compact CUV segment. Thanks to the EPA, we now know the fuel economy figures for the newest member of the Jeep family.
Arguably, the Cherokee has the most modern powertrain in its class with an updated base engine, all-new V6 and all-new nine-speed automatic transmission, but its fuel economy figures are simply on par for the segment. Still nothing to scoff at, though. According to fueleconomy.gov, front-wheel-drive Cherokee models with the base four-cylinder mill will top out the lineup with 22 miles per gallon in the city and 31 mpg on the highway; opting for four-wheel drive with this engine drops the figures to 21 city and 28 highway. Get even crazier with the option list, and the new 3.2-liter Pentastar V6 will get you 19 mpg city and 28 mpg highway in two-wheel-drive form or 19 city and 27 highway for 4WD.
If you're wondering how that stacks up among compact CUVs, head on over to Automobile Magazine for a full fuel economy breakdown for the segment. The controversially styled crossover hits dealers this month, and we'll be driving it in just a couple of weeks.
Marchionne may stay with FCA until 2020
Mon, Aug 31 2015We might get to see Sergio Marchionne and his vast array of sweaters in the auto industry for even longer than expected. The FCA CEO suggested last year that he would retire from the automaker when its current five-year plan was complete in 2018. Now, he has tentatively extended that point out to at least 2020. "I can do this for another five years if you push me, right? Beyond that, I ain't gonna do it, and I don't want to," he said to Automotive News. That would give Marchionne a 16-year career at the top from joining Fiat in 2004 to possibly leaving FCA in 2020. Although, take the CEO's statement with a grain of salt because he has made multiple statements about the timing for his retirement. In 2012, Marchionne said he would only remain in charge until 2015, which is, well, now. Those five years might also go quite quickly because Marchionne is a busy guy with the Ferrari IPO, the attempted merger with General Motors, implementing FCA's five-year plan, and many other projects. He's already considering the next CEO, though. "My purpose in life is to find the Kuniskises of the world, the Manleys, the Biglands, the Palmers," Marchionne said to Automotive News, referencing the heads at Dodge, Jeep, FCA North America, and the company's chief financial officer, respectively. "I told them, 'One of you is going to do what I do one day. I don't know who that is, but one of you is going to do it.'"

Chrysler's Jefferson North plant builds 5-millionth SUV [w/video]
Thu, 15 Aug 2013Chrysler's Jefferson North Assembly Plant opened in 1992 for production of the first Jeep Grand Cherokee, but in the subsequent years, the Detroit plant has gone on to produce some of the company's biggest SUVs including the Jeep Commander and Dodge Durango. Earlier this week, the plant produced its five-millionth SUV, which, fittingly, was a Grand Cherokee.
Celebrating the plant's five-millionth unit, the silver 2014 Grand Cherokee was promptly donated to the USO. In addition to this milestone SUV, Chrysler also had a near-perfect 1993-95 ZJ Grand Cherokee on hand for the photo op. Scroll down for the Chrysler press release as well as a video showing some of the speeches from the celebration.
