This was meant to be my project that I would keep forever but I have done what I can and it is now time for someone else to take over.

I purchased this from a family in the Southwest. It belonged to their grandfather and had sat for years with little use. This was a couple years ago. At that time the transmission had just been rebuilt and so had the engine. But it still needed a little more. I have replaced the body mounts, fuel pump, battery, ignition with a MSD ignition, brake pads, clutch, radiator, Borgeson steering shaft, steering box, shocks, seats throughout, Bestop soft top, seat belts, CD player, heater motor, plugs & wires, alternator and brake lines. One nice thing about an old Jeep is that most parts are pretty cheap.

The Jeep runs strong and was my daily driver until I succumb to the cold weather and bought a new Jeep. It does still need a few things and always will, its a Jeep. A little body rust as seen in the photos.This Jeep is not perfect but a very strong base to complete a restoration or even just continue to be daily a driver. You will love it in the summer especially, as I did.

The tires are 33"X12.50". I do have the hardtop and barrier that goes below the hardtop and of course will be included with the sale. I also have a spare tire not in the photos that is the same size and type that will be included. 4X4 works fine. The gears shift smoothly. The engine runs strong. It just passed a local safety and emission inspection 3 months ago. This truck is road ready.

Apart from the body rust seen, the tachometer doesn't work because of the MSD ignition but can be fixed with an electronic tachometer. The gas gauge shows half when it is actually full. The dash clock doesn't work. The rear view mirror just popped off but will be included. The odometer is not accurate. Mileage is unknown.

I think that is everything but if you have questions don't be shy.

No reserve.

Marchionne uses racial epithet to describe what must power future Alfa Romeo models

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

Sergio Marchionne and his Fiat empire have a lot riding on the US return of the Alfa Romeo brand. The endeavor has been in progress for what feels like a lifetime - certainly for as long as Fiat has had the Chrysler brand under its Italian wing.
It's not surprising that Fiat CEO Marchionne needs a perfect first Alfa to mark a return to America. And here's where things get dicey. Nobody would argue with Marchionne's insistence that Alfa Romeo's be powered by Italian engines - as Marchionne himself is quoted to have said at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, "There are some things that are well done in Italy."
If not what he said, then, it's how he said it that has eyebrows raised. "I cannot come up with a schlock product, I just won't. I won't put an American engine into that car. With all due respect to my American friends, it needs to be a wop engine." Wait, what's that?

Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango to lose color options temporarily

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

In the market for a Jeep Grand Cherokee or Dodge Durango? Well, if you fancy a more expressive color for your new SUV, you'd better get your order in, or plan on waiting until well into 2015.
The SUVs will be limited to just four monochromatic shades - black, white, silver and gray - until at least February, thanks to an upgrade to the paint shop at the two vehicles' Jefferson North factory. For the Grand Cherokee, that means it's losing more than half its color palette while the Durango is dropping two-thirds of its color catalog.
The loss of colors is inconvenient, but the upgrade will have a slightly bigger effect on the overall supply of SUVs, as Chrysler will need to end its relentless build pace at the factory for a three-week shutdown starting on December 22. The good news for fans of the SUVs is that once the work is completed, we should see a gradual expansion of the color palettes for both the Durango and Grand Cherokee, beyond even what's offered now.

Watch this 840-hp Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 walk away from GT-Rs and M3s

Thu, Dec 11 2014

This last-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 does things that SUVs just shouldn't be able to do, like win drag races against tuned Nissan GT-R and BMW M3 coupes. Granted, the owner isn't coming into this fight with a stock Jeep – far from it. In addition to twin turbos whistling away, he says the engine is a 449-cubic-inch V8, which is nearly 7.4 liters of displacement. As it runs here, the driver claims that the turbos are pumping out around 14 psi of boost to give an estimated 840 horsepower. What's more, he further maintains the powertrain could reach around 1,200 hp with things fully cranked up. Even somewhat dialed back, this Jeep is ready to take on a breadth of formidable challengers, including a couple of Chevrolet Corvette models and a Lamborghini Aventador. Check out the video to see how this menacing Grand Cherokee fares in a day at the races.
