Supercharged Jeep Comanche on 2040-cars
Olympia, Washington, United States
|
1989 JEEP COMANCHE with 2000 Jeep Cherokee swap and Sprintex supercharger. I have spent the last 8-years and over $20k in parts not including labor and purchase price of the Jeep to build what you currently see. Everything is swapped correctly (no hack and splice). Full Cherokee harness swapped and OBD2 fully functional as well as airbags and other power options (AC, cruise control, power mirrors, gauges, etc). Started with a clean rust free 1989 Comanche pioneer and tore it down to just a cab and frame. Then swapped everything from a 2000 donor Cherokee. The 2000 Cherokee motor is a coil on plug version and had 41,453 miles on it when I did the swap. Because the donor Cherokee cluster had idiot lights instead of gauges I had to purchase a junkyard cluster with gauges that started at 117,800 miles. The cluster now shows 145,949 (and rising as I daily drive this). So actual millage on the engine and transmission are about 70k miles. The current suspension and axles were swapped in about 2 years ago and the super charger kit was installed in February of this year. Everything functions as designed and runs as reliable as a stock 2000 Cherokee. SEE BELOW FOR DETAILS ON THE BUILD.

BUT FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN WHEELING IT, IT COULD USE A FINISHED REAR BUMPER (THE CURRENT STEEL IN BACK IS A STARTING POINT BUT NOT FINISHED) IT COULD ALSO USE SOME ROCK SLIDERS FOR PROTECTION OF THE ROCKERS. THE SUPERCHARGER IS RUNNING ON MY BASE TUNE (RUNS GREAT) BUT COULD PROBABLY SEE AN INCREASE IN MPG AND POWER IF DYNO TUNED (CURRENTLY GET 11.5 TO 13.2 MPG DEPENDING ON DRIVE STYLE) ALSO HAD TO SWAP TO A FIRST GEN CHEROKEE POWER STEERING RESERVOIR (RES ONLY NOT PUMP) TO CLEAR THE SUPERCHARGER. THE RES SEEPS A BIT (HAD PLANS TO GO PSC HYDRO ASSIST STEERING BUT NEVER GOT AROUND TO IT) OR A RESERVOIR FROM A 99-04 GRAND CHEROKEE COULD WORK. THAT'S ABOUT IT. DRIVES DOWN THE FREEWAY GREAT. NO BUMP STEER OR DEATH WOBBLE. I HAVE HAD IT UP TO 95 MPH BUT THE RPM'S GET A LITTLE HIGH AT THAT POINT. YES I HAVE WHEELED IT, BUT NOT ABUSED. OVERBUILT IT FOR MY LEVEL OF WHEELING. |

Jeep and Alfa Romeo join the already exotic Italian police force
Mon, Dec 12 2016Police departments in Italy are blessed with some of the most iconic cop cars on the planet. Where else will you see a pale blue Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 emblazoned with "Polizia" on the road? FCA decided they couldn't let Lamborghini steal the show and have handed over the first Jeep Renegade and Alfa Romeo Giulietta to the Police Academy in Rome. FCA is also loaning two Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloces that will join the two Giulia Quadrifoglios medical cars that are already in service. The Renegade is an four-wheel drive Italian-spec model with a 2.0-liter, 120 horsepower inline four-cylinder engine that we don't get in the United States. The current Giulietta is a small-hatchback that isn't sold in America. On the other hand, the new Giulia and its 280 horsepower turbocharged inline-four and the Q4 all-wheel drive system goes on sale next month. In polizia guise, it's one of the most formidable and beautiful pursuit vehicles on the road. FCA is no stranger to police cars and supplies Dodge Charger Pursuits to fleets all across the US. We spent some time in one a while back and learned all the pros and cons of driving a black and white cruiser.

2015 Jeep Renegade
Tue, 04 Mar 2014It's no secret that the midsize crossover segment is one of the most hotly contested battlegrounds in the automotive industry. Long have vehicles like the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 duked it out for those ever illusive consumer dollars. For many customers, though, even something like a Nissan Rogue is too big, whether in terms of price, fuel economy or just plain size.
For those customers, a growing market segment seems poised to fulfill their needs. Compact crossovers and tall wagons like the Nissan Juke and Kia Soul offer the high-riding driving experience with all the utility that comes from their two-box layout. It's an underrepresented segment among manufacturers, with big names like Toyota, Ford, General Motors and Honda lacking a true competitor.
To capitalize on this growing class, Chrysler's Jeep brand has readied this: the Renegade. That's right. Not Jeepster - Renegade. This diminutive off-roader, which rides on Fiat Chrysler's new small-wide 4x4 architecture, represents Jeep's first foray into the subcompact CUV segment as we know it, and it's making its official debut this week, on the floor of the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. Join us as we take a close look at one of Jeep's most important products in some time.
2014 Jeep Cherokee gets official in a hurry
Fri, 22 Feb 2013Automakers work very, very hard to keep their new vehicles under wraps until they can present them in exactly the way they want it - typically choreographed under the bright lights of an auto show, or perhaps with photos or video in an idyllic location. Spy shooters and leaks, in other words, keep executives and public-relations types up at night.
This is likely to be one of the most polarizing designs to come out in 2014.
Take today, for instance, when the team over at Jalopnik got a big scoop - the first undisguised shots of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, a model whose name wasn't even officially confirmed yet. The clandestine images taken inside of a factory were blurry and didn't exactly show off the crossover's radical new contours in the same sort of flattering light that Jeep probably would've wished for its product reveal. So the Auburn Hills automaker has wisely reacted by spilling at least some of the beans on the new model, giving us these four photos and confirming the Liberty replacement's name, Cherokee.
