This jeep was purchased in 2011 from Arizona w/ 60,000 original miles & original paint. (see picture in listing) It was brought to Texas then sold to a local gentleman who wanted to make it a nice daily driver.
Here`s where the fun began! He decided he wanted to do a frame on custom cosmetic restoration with nothing but black & white inside and out!(I have pics from start to finish)Everything on this jeep was removed except for the motor & transmission! The body was in excellent condition w/ only one minor rust spot on the rear quarter panel. The jeep was painted 2011 ford white. For easy cleaning the interior was lined then painted to match. After the paint work was complete it was put on the lift & every single part on the undercarriage was removed. The under body was then coated w/ under coating for future protection. Front and rear differentials were disassembled,blasted,primed and painted then reassembled w/ all new seals,bearings,axles & u-joints in axles. Front & rear driveshafts blasted , painted , and new u-joints,
All new brake rotors,calipers,pads,drums,wheel cylinder,hardware & steel braided brake lines. All new steering linkage and rod ends were also installed. A 2 1/2 inch skyjacker soft ride suspension was installed along w/ nitro shocks and new shackles. The jeep is riding on 31/10.50/15 goodyear MT/R w/ kevlar & MT classic 2 black aluminum wheels.
Now back to the rest of the jeep. After the paint was cut & buffed we installed a special ordered black scrambler stripe package,all new kentrol black stainless hinges,paddle handles & mirrors were installed. Every rubber on this jeep was replaced along w/ tailgate cables & latches,rear LED lights, new side marker and parking lights,fender flares,fuel filler trim ect. I built front & rear custom bumpers. Rear is a swing away style the front is just a basic bumper w/ hella lights and roller fair lead added. It also has a 3/8 plate winch mount w/ a warn 8000 series winch. Bumpers & winch plate have been powder coated along w\ a few other misc. parts on this jeep.
The interior has new best top high back seats,trailmax 2 fold/tumble rear seat,all new seat belts, console,door panels,door handles, window cranks,new cluster overlay,new cluster & gauges. IT HAS A VERY NICE SOUND SYSTEM ALSO.
I know this is long but just trying to give you an idea of the amount of money and labor that went into this jeep.
As far as the engine and transmission they are still pretty much original w/ all the emissions in place. They both have been serviced and are in very good operating condition. The engine had a complete tune up prior to starting all this work. There has been a little over 400 miles put on it since it was completed a year ago march. It is being sold because of the lack of use! I know i`ve forgotten a lot so if you have any questions please feel free to give me a call or shoot me an email.
325-456-2749 or terrydavis66@yahoo.com
I have well over 100 pictures of the entire project so if you want to see something particular just let me know.
Thanks for looking god bless and have a great day.

Chrysler recalling 31k SUVs and vans
Fri, 06 Jun 2014Chrysler is issuing recalls covering roughly 31,700 vehicles worldwide due to two separate problems. In both cases the company believes that most of the affected vehicles are either still on, or in transit to, dealer lots.
One recall covers roughly 10,700 Dodge Durango, Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee SRT models from the 2014 model year built between January 16 and April 17, 2014. The SUVs need a software update for the cruise control. It's possible that when the cruise is on and the driver presses on the throttle, the acceleration could last a second after the pedal is released or two seconds for the SRT. Afterward, they return to the speed originally set by the driver.
Chrysler says it isn't aware of any accidents, injuries or even reported incidents of this happening in the real world. Also, in all cases, if the driver presses on the brake, the cruise shuts off. The automaker believes that there are about 6,100 affected SUVs in the US, 950 in Canada, 425 in Mexico and 3,200 outside of North America. The software upgrade will be ready shortly, the company says.
Hands on with the concepts of the Moab Easter Jeep Safari
Fri, Mar 20 2015Jeep has a way of tugging at the heartstrings of its enthusiastic owner base when the annual Moab Easter Jeep Safari rolls around. The 2015 version sees all boxes ticked in the off-road event's 49th year: multiple diesel engines on display, a pickup-truck-like model and more than a few nods to the brand's long and storied history book. We were able to get a first-hand look at the seven concepts being shown in Utah's Red Desert in the much cooler, cleaner confines of the FCA Technical Center's Design Dome. Jeep Chief Concept We aren't sure if it's that throwback chrome grille or the eye-catching Ocean Blue paint, but even more than the Red Rock Responder, the Chief drew our eye as soon as we walked into the Design Dome. It's a surprisingly tall vehicle, but it's also very wide. We'd also wager it's longer than your typical four-door Wrangler. Jeep may have used a Wrangler as a base for the Chief, but any similarities to the donor vehicle are extremely difficult to spot. The fenders and doors are probably the biggest giveaways, but you're going to need to squint (and have the benefit of a Wrangler to compare with, like we did) to pick out Wrangler bits. As is the recurring theme throughout all seven concepts, the Jeep design team's attention to detail is borderline fanatical. From the "Surf Rated" badge on the fenders, to the tweaked door handles to the bumper stickers in the cargo area and the Tiki-statue-shaped shifter, the little details are truly the stars of the Chief Concept. The rosewood trim in the rear cargo area is stunning and adds to the Beach-Boy-friendly stylings of the Chief. The throwback grille, round headlights and tall, skinny taillights, meanwhile, add a lot of personality to the exterior. The high beltline and lower roof gives the Chief a chop-topped look, but it's arguably the least successful element to the blue concept's otherwise impressive design. All of the vehicles Jeep put together for Moab are 100-percent functional. That's not surprising with some of the vehicles you'll see below, but it somehow is remarkably impressive given the degree of the changes Jeep made in putting together the Chief. Jeep Wrangler Red Rock Responder The Wrangler-based Red Rock Responder is arguably one of the most capable of these real-world vehicles, both in terms of the way it looks and its actual hardware. We mentioned the special rescue equipment fitted to the bright-red, truck-like Jeep – a compressor and air gun, sockets, tow straps, etc.
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.
