Disregard the "Base sport utility" and 4.2liter mentioned in the above description.
Originally commissioned by a local entrepreneur for use at his beachfront property in Mexico. Built by CW Performance in Longmont, Colo, Carl Wells (RIP) has built some very nice vehicles. I have receipts for over $100K spent, no nut or bolt has been left untouched. Only the highest quality pieces were selected for this build.
Engine started lifeas a 1999 Wrangler 4.0 liter. It was rebuilt and uses fuel injection, a Crane Cam, a larger throttle body and a very gorgeous Hesco aluminum head. A Borrani header takes care of the exhaust flow. It runs great. The clutch is a Centerforce, the trans a rebuilt Borg/Warner T5. Dual Optima batteries are held in a Wrangler Products battery tray. An aluminum radiator is cooled by twin electric fans, thermostatically controlled. Front and rear diffs are 4.56 ratio, the rear an AMC 20 (I believe) with locker, the front equipped with an Ox locker controlled from inside. Axles are either new or remanufactured as are the driveshafts. Both diffs feature attractive alloy covers. Brakes are new and equipped with stainless brake lines. Suspension is by Fab Tek and Rubicon. Rubicon express with 4.5" lift and Rubicon extreme duty shock kit. The wheels are Sertes (the invoice was a little unclear) model 397 and are shod with Goodyear Dura/trac 33/12.50/15 tires, 5 of them. A Skyjacker transfer case lowering kit is also fitted. The bumpers are both Warn brand with a rear tire carrier and front winch mount options. The Warn winch is a Powerplant Dual Force with air compressor built in. Winch controls are both wired and keyless remote. A very professional roll cage will keep you unruffled. All lighting is special, featuring Delta H4 conversions, Hella lights and KC spots. All running lights are LED and look very cool. Warn Rock Sliders protect the rocker panels. A high lift jack is securly mounted above the spare.
The frame has been powder coated, the body or tub has been Rhinolined on the underside as well as the interior. The Gold color professionally done of course. The hood, windshield, windshield frame are new. The instruments are either new or reman and work perfectly. A Kenwood radio/navigation/dvd is enhanced by an Alpine amp and Boss as well as DC Gold speakers. The Trailmaster seats are matching, front and rear. A pilot to co/pilot intercom system is included for when the going gets very exciting. Headsets with mic's are included. Tuffy brand center console protects the radio and a dash mounted Tuffy security glovebox protects other valuables.
The Besttop roof and windows as well as doors are only about 3 years old. The Jeep was finished in 2008 and has about 2800 miles. I use the term "new" a lot in describing items, in truth everything has been used for 2800 miles. Other new or reman items I forgot to mention: steering box, ball joints, tie rod ends, Q Snorkel, poly fuel tank, steering wheel, and much more.
I got the Jeep from the gentleman who commissioned the build. I would like to move it on to finance my road racing habits. If you ever wanted to put together an awesome Jeep, here it is. My name is Jack and I am certainly available to answer your questions. I have perfect feedback and want to keep it that way. Good luck and please bid.

2016 Jeep Wrangler to ditch solid axles to save weight?
Tue, 29 Oct 2013Hey, Jeep fans. If you think the idea of a funky-looking, car-based Cherokee revival is offensive, have a listen to what might be in store for the next-gen Jeep Wrangler. Automotive News is reporting that as Jeep develops the 2016 Wrangler, weight reduction is a crucial target, and the Wrangler's rugged solid axles could be sacrificed in the name of better fuel economy.
We've already heard the next Wrangler will go on a serious diet using aluminum body panels and an air suspension system, so the idea of a four-wheel independent suspension setup for this OG SUV isn't all that surprising. Besides, it's not like an independent suspension would limit the Wrangler's off-road abilities - just check out the Hummer H1. In fact, it might be the aftermarket parts companies - not Wrangler enthusiasts - who would be most disappointed by such a drastic suspension change, as the article states that the Wrangler's solid axles and coil-link suspension make it the most popular SUV for customization.
There are probably still a couple years before we'll start hearing any concrete details about the 2016 Wrangler, at which time it will be interesting to see how stricter fuel economy and crash safety regulations have been balanced with traditional Wrangler cues like its removable doors and roof and folding windshield. Let us know in the comments below if a Wrangler sans solid axles is any less of a Wrangler.
Millionth Jeep Wrangler JK to roll off line this morning
Fri, 17 May 2013According to a report on the Chrysler Communications Facebook page and one fairly grainy image of the production line, at around 11:00AM Eastern this morning, the one-millionth Jeep Wrangler JK will roll out of the company's Toledo assembly plant.
The third-generation or "JK" Jeep Wrangler has been around since the 2007 model year, and has obviously been more popular than ever. With a greater than ever number of trim levels, two-door and four-door Unlimited models and hardy off-roading Rubicon packages, the JK offers more to choose from than ever for those looking for something in a traditional Jeep. In fact, with the modern 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 powering it, the 2012 model year saw more than 140k Wrangers sold here in the US; the best-ever figure for the model.
With a model refresh due out for the Wrangler in 2015 (along with the likely addition of a diesel engine option), we expect that sales will continue to roll right along, too.
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.
