Jeep Cherokee 2 Door - Rusty's 6.5" Lift - 4.6l Hesco Stroker Engine on 2040-cars
Fremont, California, United States
1988 Jeep Cherokee XJ 2 door. I have owned this rig for 11 years now and have decided to part ways with it. I have two young kids and don't have the time to play with it or finish it. Just put in a custom built 4.6l short arm Hesco stroker (www.hesco.us) with more than 4k invested into it. Lots of detail put into the looks and function of the engine and drivetrain. Engine runs really strong and tight. No leaks, perfect compression. It was professionally built and assembled by Mopars Engine's West aka Dave's Engine machining in Newark Ca. Look them up. It currently sits on a Rusty's 6.5" custom built long-arm kit up front with a steering conversion kit with the stock Dana 30. Front axle is strong and rebuilt. New kingpins, new steering ball joints, recently new brakes and pads, fresh fluids. Rear axle is a stock Dana 35c with a fresh set of 4:88 Yukon gears carrier, bearings, seals, and gears. Transfer case was just rebuilt with a new chain and pump along with an advanced adapters SYE and new Tom Woods shaft. It’s got a few dings/dents here and there typical of its age and getting door dings in parking lots. Roof has pealing, but the body is untouched and has not been cut up. Interior has SCAT racing bucket seats and several Auto meter gauges added including a wide band system for the motor. ZERO rust. Lots of time and money spent keeping the underside painted and clean looking. Never off road. Hell of a good rig for someone to quickly wrap up and hit the Rubicon with or just have fun going to work in. Lots of other stuff done that I know I forgot to mention. Lots of receipts to prove it. Currently registered nonoperational (Needs to be smogged or Green Tagged here). Runs and drives awesome. Extremely fun. More power than the little jeeps needs. All smog equipment (Bolt in Catalytic Converter, Charcoal gCanister, I.E,) is included. If I had the time and money I would do it myself. Call or contact for details. Can deliver to Sacramento CA area if the price is right, other than that, the Jeep is as is and buyer is responsible for pick up/delivery. Can take more photos for serious buyers.
Here is an old album from about 3 years ago that contains photos of the Jeep and engine build. White Jeep in album is already sold.

Chrysler recalling nearly half a million Durangos and Grand Cherokees
Fri, Feb 27 2015Rule number one of public relations – save the bad news for Friday. Fiat Chrysler has adhered to that, announcing today that it'd be voluntarily recalling 467,480 SUVs. This latest recall could actually be thought of as a continuation of a September 2014 recall, relating to the fuel-cell relay. In that case, some 188,723 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee CUVs from model year 2011 were recalled. And this time, it's the Durango and GC in trouble again. FCA is adding crossovers from model years 2012 and 2013 to the fuel-pump recall, although only diesel-powered Jeeps with the 3.0-liter V6 that were sold outside of North America are affected this time around. As with the previous recall, deformities in the fuel-pump relay, which could affect its functioning. In most cases, FCA reports that the affected vehicles simply won't start, although they also could be prone to stalling. A new relay circuit will be installed that promises increase durability. Of the 467,480 vehicles being recalled, 338,216 were sold in the US market, 18,991 went to Canada and 10,829 were shipped south of the border, to Mexico. Outside of the NAFTA region, FCA is recalling 99,444 vehicles. No injuries or accidents have been associated with this recall. Statement: Fuel-Pump Relay February 27, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 467,480 SUVs worldwide to install new a relay circuit that improves fuel-pump relay durability. FCA US engineers have determined a condition identified in a previous investigation may extend to additional vehicles. The previous investigation, which led to a recall, traced a pattern of repairs to fuel-pump relays that are susceptible to deformation. This may affect fuel-pump function, preventing a vehicle from starting, or leading to engine stall. Of the two scenarios, the no-start condition is the more common. FCA US is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. The fuel-pump relay is located inside the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM), which also helps manage other vehicle functions. None of these other functions, including air-bag deployment, is affected by the fuel-pump relay. The new campaign affects an estimated 338,216 vehicles in the U.S.; 18,991 in Canada; 10,829 in Mexico and 99,444 outside the NAFTA region. Covered are model-year 2012 and 2013 Dodge Durango full-size SUVs and non-NAFTA 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee mid-size SUVs equipped with 3.0-liter diesel engines.

Jeep rear-mounted fuel tank controversy
FCA goes all-in on Jeep and Ram brands on cheap gas bet
Wed, Jan 27 2016It's no surprise that as SUV and truck sales remain strong in the wake of unusually cheap gas, Jeep and Ram sales are taking off. What is a surprise is that FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne thinks that cheap gas will be a "permanent condition," and feels strongly enough about it to change up North American manufacturing plans. Jeep appears to be the biggest beneficiary of the product realignment. In addition to increasing the sales estimates for the brand worldwide upwards to 2 million units a year by 2018, the brand will get a flood of investment for new product and powertrains. Consider the Wrangler Pickup to be part of the salvo, as well as the Grand Wagoneer three-row announced in 2014 as part of the original five-year plan. The Wrangler four-door will get at least two new powertrains, a diesel and mild hybrid version, in its next generation. That mild hybrid powertrain may utilize a 48-volt electrical system like the one that's being developed by Delphi and Bosch – which the suppliers think will be worth a 10 to 15 percent fuel economy gain at a minimum. Down the road, in the 2020s, the Wrangler could adopt a full hybrid system. The diesel powertrain is planned for 2019 or 2020. The Ram 1500 is also pegged to receive a mild hybrid system, again potentially based on 48-volt architecture, sometime after 2020. Lastly, Jeep and Ram will take over some of the production capacity of existing plants. The Sterling Heights, MI, plant that builds the Chrysler 200 will now build the Ram 1500; the Belvidere, IL, facility that produces the Dodge Dart will take over Cherokee output; the big Jeep facility in Toledo, OH, will be used for increased Wrangler demand. In 2015, according to FCA's numbers, car and van demand went down by 10 percent, but SUV demand went up 8 percent and truck demand 2 percent. Considering that these are high-margin vehicles, FCA can't ignore the math. FCA also won't build any new factories to supplement production to meet demand, but instead are reshuffling production priorities. Think of it this way: FCA is gambling on cheap gas being a permanent part of our lives, at least into the 2020s. By doubling down on SUVs and trucks, the company stands to win big, unless a spike in gas prices changes the landscape. FCA isn't talking about a Plan B, so they're all in. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.
