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. |

New England Patriots player helps driver of rollover crash
Tue, Jan 20 2015Winning the AFC Championship game to guarantee a spot in the Super Bowl would be a pretty major accomplishment for most people in a day. However, just hours after the victory, New England Patriots defensive tackle Vince Wilfork showed what he could do off the field, when he helped save a woman from an overturned car. Though, the player remained modest about what happened. Wilfork and his wife were driving home late at night when they spotted a flipped Jeep near Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA. Surveillance video showed Wilfork pulling over and running to the vehicle's aid to be among the first on the scene. Finding a woman trapped inside, Wilfork told her, "Don't panic," and according to Massachusetts State Police, the 325-pound player simply reached his arm into the vehicle and lifted the woman out to save her. She was later charged with driving under the influence. Hear Wilfork's description of what happened in the video above.
Chrysler investing $20M in Toledo plant to support 9-speed auto production
Sun, 28 Apr 2013In 2011, Chrysler announced a $72-million investment in its Toledo Machining Plant to modernize production of the eight- and nine-speed torque-converters for automatic transmissions made there. That upgrade work won't be finished until Q3 of this year, but Chrysler has already announced a further $19.6-million investment to increase production capacity for the nine-speeders.
The extra units will be necessary because the nine-speed transmission they'll be mated to is going into three popular models: it will debut on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, then go into the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart. The company predicted that this year alone it would sell 200,000 units equipped with the nine-speed tranny, and it is spending some $374 million in addition to the investment in Toledo to upgrade production capacity for it.
The work attached to this new investment won't begin until Q3 of 2014, and it will be finished by the end of that year. There's a press release below with all the details.
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.
