Frame-off restoration completed in 2012.  Frame professionally sandblasted and painted.  Rebuilt both axles (Dana 44 rear and AMC 30 front).  New 3.53 gears, leaf springs and shocks.  New Jasper engine (@3000 miles on it now).  T 176  4 speed manual transmission.  1989 Wrangler tub, undercoated with Eastwood product and inside was Herculined.  Professional paint job on the outside.  Painless wiring kit.  All new gauges.  New gas tank, brakes, all stainless brake lines, fuel lines, even flexible brake lines are braided.  1" body lift, 1.5 inch shackle lift.  33" Pro Comp tires.  Vintage seats with "CJ" logo (pictured).  I used an HEI distributor, so no coil.  All accessories (PS pump, alternator, starter, radiator, power brake booster) brand new. Even lower steering column is new.  PSC hi performance steering box.  Clearly, no expense was spared.  Everything on this Jeep is either new or refurbished.  Odometer:  Before the restoration, the old Jeep had 126,000 miles.  I used the best odometer I had, which stated 16,901.  It now states 19,800 miles.  So I have put @3000 miles on it since completion. This is one of the cleanest Jeeps you'll find.  Not used off road, but she'd love to go :).  Only a few minor issues:  Gas gauge does not work.  Worked for awhile, then quit.  Small paint bubble on passenger's door (pictured), couple other nicks and scratches, nothing major.  $20,000 invested in this project, reserve price is much less than that.  If you're looking for a clean, tough CJ, look no further!

Jeep's new Chip Away commercial has us hunting Al Pacino's back catalog

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

Chrysler has done a pretty good job as of late turning its television commercials into pep talks or rallying cries, but for its first ad for the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee, it turned to Al Pacino's inspirational speech from the movie Any Given Sunday. In the movie, Pacino's character talks about how football is a game of inches, but the commercial, titled Chip Away, focuses more on the attention to detail that Jeep has exhibited on its updated flagship SUV.
Centering around the newest Grand Cherokee model, the luxurious $47,995 Summit trim level, the commercial shows off some of the hand-stitched leathers and real metal and wood accents found inside the cabin. Check out the new 60-second spot by scrolling below.

Jeep Grand Cherokee in headliner fire probe

Fri, 23 Aug 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching an investigation into 146,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs from the 2012 model year, The Detroit News reports. This comes as the result of the government safety agency receiving three complaints from owners who cited fires inside the Jeep's cabin.
According to the report, NHTSA says:
"The customers reported a burning odor and visible smoke coming from the headliner while the vehicle was being driven. This was followed by flames from the headliner itself. Customers lowered the windows in an effort to clear the smoke but this increased the fire's intensity. All three vehicles had to be extinguished with a fire extinguisher or by the fire department as they continued to burn after the vehicle was turned off."

2014 Jeep Cherokee

Thu, 19 Sep 2013

The Cherokee Is Dead. Long Live The Cherokee.
There are three sentences that, for this reviewer, define what needs to be conveyed about the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. The first: it is very good.
Jeep spent 27 years building the Cherokee and its brand, from 1974 to 2001. Twelve years ago, the Cherokee nameplate rolled away into the distant hills and retirement, at least here in the NAFTA colonies, and it was replaced by a loaded word we knew as "Liberty."
