 Hello,

I have 3 years labor, and over $11,000 in verified cash receipts in this jeep.  I only put about 5000 miles on this since the complete build. Be the first to take it in the mud!!  I have too much time and money in this jeep to get it muddy.  I took it to the dunes once and it did great. Here are the specs:

 

Short Fender style tub with later model frame/ dash & windshield frame. (The good Electric wipers, defrost, etc)

 

Engine:

350 ci. Fresh rebuild

New Oil pump, timing set, rings, bearings, water pump, ps pump, alternator, etc.

Comp Cams 292 grind cam. .501 lift, 292 duration

Custom built headers

3hp mini-starter

Aluminum radiator/ electric fan. (runs cool)

Victor Jr. aluminum intake w/ 1” spacer

Summit 750cfm Holley copy carb w/ elec. Choke.

Starts easy even when cold.

Has very wicked idle, sounds mean.

(Have all receipts and machine shop itemization)

 

 

Heads:

Aluminum L98 Corvette heads Built at Speed shop in Tigard.

58cc chamber, flat top pistons, runs great on premium pump gas

Z28 springs, retainers, guide plates, vitan seals, Ported, flow tested. Huge runners

Stainless valves, 1.94/1.50

Chromoly pushrods, high-energy poly lock rocker nuts

Roller rockers

$900 invested

(Have all receipts)

 

Transmission:

GM Hydramatic TH-400

Bullet-proof Built by Shop in Roseburg

Upgraded high energy frictions

4L80E Direct Drum

NewSpiral lock rings, 34 element sprag, instead of weaker 16 element.

Transgo shift kit. (The good one that is also the “reprogramming kit”)

Small stall converter, I think it is a 1700 if I remember correctly, just enough to keep it from tugging hard at idle at the stop lights.

(Have all receipts)

 

Drive train etc:

Dana model 20 transfer case. New seals

Scout II Dana 44 front and rear

Disc brake front

New lift springs/ bushings

New Front brakes, calipers, etc.

New Ball joints

Crossover Power steering with all new larger than stock tie rods/ ends.

Drop pitman arm

We gave this 4 degrees of positive caster when setting up the front end, so it drives amazingly well. Better than a lot of stock- height jeeps I have owned.

Steering gear box is a Gm Saginaw box, Frame fish-plated for strength.

All driveshaft u-joints are  new

Rear driveshaft is a double- carden style that is setup correctly(no vibrations)

Dropped engine/ trans down approx. 4” and tilted tailshaft down to correct driveshaft angle. Gives jeep a really nice low center of gravity.

This is not a jeep that will “eat” u-joints once a year. It is setup right.

The rear end has been moved back approx. 2”

Dual gas tanks..10 gal under front seat, 14 gal under rear seat.

Switchable fuel guage .

Full roll cage w/ padding near head area.

Bed-lined inside of tub

New seats./ full seat belts front and rear

Heater works great, and yes it has defrost (no need to carry a towel)

8000lb Warn Winch. Looks and works like new.

Bestop top/ doors in great shape. Windows clear, very few scratches.

New Cragar Black wheels.

New 38x15.50-15 Nitto Mud Grappler tires with less than 500 miles. Still have “nipples” on tread.

Exhaust all new with flowmaster style stainless mufflers.

B&M floor shift

New motor mounts, fuel lines, etc.

Tilt Column

Tachometer

Speedometer, signals/indicators, wipers, heater blower, lights, KC lights, horn, etc all work great.

All white face manual gauges are new.

 

Body is not perfect, but not bad by any means. Floor pans look like they have been replaced and are in perfect shape. Paint is not perfect, but looks good.  Front fenders are fiberglass, everything else is steel. I have included pics of all blemishes on body. The only dent in the body is on hood where it appears someone threw the hood open hard at some point and creased it against windshield frame. 

This jeep is huge and puts all others to shame in this area. Everybody looks when this monster comes rumbling down the road.  Approx 12” of lift, but drives good. Even at 75mph on the freeway.

I can deliver this to an auto shipper in any town within 2 hours from here if you buy this. I know there is one in Medford and probably one in Eugene. Call me with other questions, 541-580-1975. Thanks and happy bidding.

Maserati Levante crossover not Jeep based after all?

Thu, 20 Feb 2014

Maserati has been teasing its crossover project since 2011, which is when it first showed off the Kubang concept (pictured above). Still, the production version, rumored to be called the Levante, remains a complete mystery. The CUV was first rumored to borrow the platform from the Jeep Grand Cherokee, but new rumors indicate that the Italian, luxury crossover might actually take the underpinnings from the Quattroporte and Ghibli.
In a brief interview, Maserati CEO Harald Wester told CNN Money that the Levante wouldn't use Jeep's platform. Motor Trend spoke with an unnamed Maserati engineer who confirmed the rumor. Officially, the company says that no decision has been made.
We can add this to another long list of rumors about the Italian CUV. It was originally supposed to be built at Chrysler's Jefferson North assembly plant in Detroit. Then, plans were changed to build it in Italy.

Chrysler registers Trackhawk trademark

Wed, 01 Oct 2014

There may not be many ways to forecast what an automaker is planning for the future, but there are some. Trademark applications are one of them, and Chrysler has just applied with the US Patent and Trademark Office to protect the name "Trackhawk." The question is, what's it planning on using it for? We don't know for sure, but we can put together an educated guess or two. And one guess is that Jeep will use the name to replace the letters SRT on the performance version of the Grand Cherokee.
How do we figure, you ask? From a number of developments. For starters, the SRT division has been reintegrated into the Dodge brand. Those letters currently appear on only two vehicles from outside the Dodge lineup: one is the Grand Cherokee SRT, and the other is the Chrysler 300 SRT. We've heard ruminations (however unconfirmed) that the latter could be either discontinued or possibly relabeled, and if the same proves true of the GC, the Trackhawk name could serve as a on-road performance counterpart to the Trailhawk label applied to off-road versions of models like the Cherokee and Renegade.
Logical it may be, but it's hardly a foregone conclusion. The Trackhawk name could just as easily be used for a new concept (like the Trailhawk name was in 2007), for another kind of trim level or for something else entirely. In fact we don't even know for sure it'll be used by the Jeep brand specifically, or used at all for that matter. Automakers have been known, after all, to register names they don't end up using.

MotorWeek reviews '83 American Motors lineup

Wed, Mar 18 2015

The 30th anniversary of American Motors' 1987 sale to Chrysler by Renault is just a few years away. AMC is long dead, but for its latest peek in the archives, MotorWeek winds back the clock to somewhat happier times. Take a look at the entire AMC lineup from 1983, including its models from Jeep and Renault. The Jeeps, and to a lesser extent, the AMC Eagle, enjoy a cult following today, but it's amazing how many of these other vehicles are now practically forgotten. Even the big debut in '83 of the Renault Alliance is largely ignored. Although with a ludicrous amount of body roll and a 55-horsepower 1.4-liter engine, it's probably rightly buried.
