Monster Sleeper: 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee Srt8 W/ Hhp 426ci (7.2l) Stroker Motor on 2040-cars
Forest Hills, New York, United States
|
Up for sale is my wife's Red 2008 Jeep SRT8, which is notably equipped with a $17k Tony Bischoff/BES 426 Stroker, purchased, installed and tuned by High Horsepower Performance in Smyrna, DE this past July 2013. The engine lays down 502 naturally aspirated horsepower to the wheels. It was tuned by Josh Schwartz, owner of HHP, which builds the country's fastest SRT8s. I live in NYC- shipped the Jeep there based on my research and was not disappointed. The chassis has 46.5k miles and the BES 426 has approximately 4500 miles on it. We are a family of auto enthusiasts and this has always been our reliable daily driver, grocery getter, kid hauler. We have maintained it religously and it needs nothing. It did not lose one bit of reliability or driveability with the 502hp 426 install. It is a sleeper, completely stock exterior that shows as new, the deeper rumble through high flow cats the only hint that this truck has been breathed on. The truck has every option EXCEPT the kicker subwoofer system, which can be retrofitted. Also has transferable extended warranty until 11/24/2015 which is useful-but I would not have a dealer touch the BES engine/tune. About the truck: Exterior - Completely stock. Paint: Beautiful, detailed yearly, has front end clearbra since new; very minor scuff on front bumper (mostly clearbra scuff) from New York City parking Wheels: 3/4 are as new - just had them beautifully refinished, but one now has a small scuff on one of the spokes. Tires: Brand new Proxes ST2 275/315 less than 500 miles on them and "whiskers" still intact; also purchased an 18inch aluminum spare from tirerack. Other notable: HID self leveling headlights; Jeep tow hitch; full clearbra front end including mirrors Brakes: Rotors and pads changed approximately 10k miles ago with OEM rotors and Hawk Pads. Plenty of mileage left. Interior: Excellent condition. Options: navi; Front/rear video- both headphones still in plastic; Front/Rear Heated Seats; Heavy duty rubber mats used all year round Maintained as per schedule - Royal Purple HPS on Stroker; Jeep/Chrysler fluids in transfer case and differentials. New wipers. Engine - BES 426; AFE Cold Air; Magnaflow High Flow Cat X-pipe; Custom HHP tune/Diablo unit. I have all records/receipts for interested parties- this engine cost nearly 17k so someone will be getting a bargain. I also have dyno sheets showing 502 whp, title is in hand, no liens.
This has never been to the track but it destroys everything from a stoplight, with all four tires screaming for mercy. The Diablo unit has recorded a 0-60 time of 3.4 seconds. Payment via wire transfer, live-in person account transfer (Citibank), or I will accompany you to your bank to source a certified check (all major banks located within steps of my garage in NYC). Any other forms of payment require 100% clearing before transfer of vehicle or title. |

Jeep driver nearly gets washed away by fast moving river
Wed, May 11 2016Just because you can do something doesn't mean that you should. For example, you should never attempt to cross a fast-moving river in a bone stock Grand Cherokee no matter how shallow the river looks. Especially if you don't know what you're doing. A video posted recently to the Facebook group Jeep EXPERIENCE, shows an inexperienced jeep driver learning that lesson the hard way. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The video starts innocently enough, with a group of off-roaders watching one of their friends attempt to ford a shallow looking river. Things quickly go sideways however, when the driver of the silver Grand Cherokee just plunges right in and quickly gets in over his head. The river is moving faster than the driver thinks it is, the driver panics, makes some bad decisions, then the jeep is turned over and swept downstream. Eventually, the jeep is hauled out by a Land Rover after a long comedy of errors that involves one guy losing his trousers to the current and the Cherokee ingesting untold gallons of water. What went wrong here? Well, It's pretty obvious from the video that the Cherokee driver didn't have a clear idea of where he was going or about the condition of the riverbed. He chickened out halfway across the river, and in what appears to be a misguided attempt at turning back, he reverses, digs himself deeper in the riverbed, then turned broadside on into the current. When he changes his mind again and decides to just gun it for the opposite shore, he drives directly into a deep water hazard that would have been obvious to an experienced off-roader. At that point the jeep and the driver were doomed. Hopefully the driver learned a lesson here, and hopefully he didn't pollute that river too much with the jeep's fluids.

China orders Jeep to investigate Wrangler fire risk
Mon, 06 Jan 2014It's been some time since we've heard anything about fires related to the Jeep Wrangler (foreign or domestic), but it sounds like the go-anywhere SUV could be in hot water once again in China. Bloomberg is reporting that the Chinese government is ordering Jeep to investigate the matter and, in the meantime, also recommending Wrangler owners to not drive their vehicles in "extreme conditions" due to a "relatively high risk" of catching on fire.
There is no indication as to how many vehicles or which model years are affected, but the previous fire problems in both the US and China - which led to investigations but no recalls - were traced back to automatic transmission fluid leaks. The article, however, does not say what the potential problem is this time around as Jeep has not released a comment on the matter. The official notice, in Chinese, can be found here.
