5/6/2013 Let's try this one more time. I received multiple inquiries after my most recent listing with offers well over where the bidding got to. If you want to buy the Jeep, bid on it. My reserve is $25K but if I have some decent participation I will consider lowering that number. I will not do a "buy it now". I will be happy to answer any questions about equipment or condition. Condition is easy though, it's new throughout. For those dealers who have inquired, maybe this is a $40 k vehicle off of your lot. It's a show-stopper. Email your questions and if necessary we can go to the phone. In the event of a no-sale, I will negotiate with you after the sale only if you participated. Good luck, bid well, bid often, there is nothing else like this available here. 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.

Chrysler recalls 468,700 Jeep Grand Cherokees, Commanders over rollaway risk
Mon, 13 May 2013Chrysler has issued a recall covering a combined 469,000 units of the 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the 2006-2010 Jeep Commander (inset). Of that number, 295,000 are in the US, roughly 33,000 in Canada and Mexico and the remainder in other markets. It seems an electrical fault in the transfer case can allow the affected SUVs to shift into neutral on their own, while an Associated Press report says that Chrysler had "found cracks in a circuit board that turns the four-wheel-drive system on and off." The issue was discovered when an owner started his car remotely and it rolled away.
Chrysler is expected to begin notifying owners in June 2013, who can then take their cars to dealers. The dealer will reflash the final drive controller free of charge. There's a bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below with more information.
Jeepster name may be used for Fiat-based baby Jeep
Tue, 17 Dec 2013In 1948, Willys-Overland, the forbearers of Jeep, built a vehicle called the Jeepster. It was a funky little thing, designed as a mix of the more rugged Jeeps that came before with what was then a modern car, which arguably makes it the world's first crossover. The name was later revived from 1966 to 1972, which means for Jeep enthusiasts, it has some history.
Now, the modern Jeep brand may revive the Jeepster name for a new product, likely based on Fiat bones, that will slot in at the bottom of the brand's range underneath the soon-to-depart Compass and Patriot. The report comes from Australia's Drive, which cites a dealer source that has seen the vehicle.
That same dealer confirmed there is a link between the Jeepster and the rumored Fiat 500X, and that the former will be available in both front and all-wheel-drive variants. The source also claims both gas and diesel engines will be available, although as this is an Aussie site, we shouldn't take that to mean we'll get a diesel Jeepster in the US.
These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
