Introducing the American legend with the 21st century drivability.

This is not your average jeep. It is a custom build by a Master Craftsman. This Jeep was built to be the baddest Jeep on the planet by combining race track performance with superior off road capability. Build was completed in 2010 and Jeep was a "trailer queen" show jeep for the past four years. Only 1850 miles on this engine since the build.  This Jeep started out as an 88 wrangler renegade. It's grill and headlights have been converted to a CJ. The suspension was converted from leaf to coil over (JK).

Engine is a bowtie 383 stroker with a bowtie aluminum heads custom built engine was built for the race team owner Glenn Clements. (Owner NASCAR 51) Jeremy Clements Nationwide series. I looked at several hemi jeeps before purchasing this one and they can't hold a candle to the on/off road performance of this Jeep.

This motor was incredibly expensive coming from a master builder. Check them out. I can't add to their reputation. Compared to cost of jeep, motor became minor

The cost of the motor build became relevant to the cost of labor for the year to complete the build

I wiped off all leaf springs and converted to full coil spring suspension to JK Rubicon specs, to build and produce and obtain incredible drive ability, and I must say it is fun and safe at any speed

All metal is original metal, no aftermarket metal at all!

Specs heckler paint system on jeep, chrome orange to electric pearl red, to black cherry with a silver allusion on base coat.

Painted frame, cleaned interior of frame with long wand and steam jenny, then sand blasted. All frame was submerged in P.O.R. primer, followed by 8 coats of Imron train paint.

Look at most Chevy powered jeeps and you will see a common automatic transmission (very easy)

Or NV 4500 popular with rock crawlers, it has a granny gear, or the AMC 4 speed uses a 3/4 " dia, but if you drop the clutch with more than 250 ish horsepower it snaps the main. In the Chevy the old Muncie was good up to about 380 h.p. but good shifting. In this build a super T-10 by Richmond it's a real street or strip choice, but it's not for 4 wd it's a long trans, but I bought a new standard super T-10 and had my contact swap the tail section for an atlas clock ring and ordered a 100% billet steel CNC main that's 1 1/4 " in dia. Rated at 1250 lb. of tork, and is less than 1/2 as long as the stock, &merging into an atlas transfer case also 1250 lb. of tork rating, 1350 U joint's, (dooly size)

A 2.77 1st 2.20 2nd 1.50 3rd1 to 1, 4th quick shift kit. A racing 4 speed and 4 WD. I have never seen another one.

We give you a list of 80% of cool name brands, briefly discussed drive train, paint, suspension, but the real value was in the master craftsman of build. It takes a very grounded expert with vast knowledge and experience in the area of Hot Rod's, Classic's, Collectables, understanding the quality on eccentric levels to recognize a master piece by another master craftsman.

There are so many things and so much to list; I can't possibly list it all.

The build of this jeep exceeded $120,000

Updated 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee ace same controversial moose test it failed in 2012 [w/video]

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

Some background: one of the more scandalous international incidents of he-said/he-said from 2012 was when Swedish magazine Teknikens Varld put the Jeep Grand Cherokee through its "moose (or elk) test" and reported that the SUV nearly rolled over. That lead to a whole lot of accusations and rebuttals: more than one website and Chrysler's own blog reported that the Jeep was overloaded; Chrysler said Teknikens printed the magazine then let Chrysler respond, Teknikens answered all of the charges in a lengthy post and said Chrysler was given a chance to comment before it went to print; when Chrysler sent investigators to oversee the test and the Jeep didn't go up on two wheels as it did in the first test, furthermore all four wheels stayed on the ground when Auto Motor und Sport tested a Grand Cherokee in the same way.
Teknikens then re-ran the test with a new vehicle and said it's been doing this test since the 1970s, uses the loading information that Chrysler provides to the Swedish motor authority and the previous Grand Cherokee passed with no problem. In the second test, the Jeep failed again, then it gave Chrysler engineers access to the car's electronics and ran the test again. In that second round the Grand Cherokee didn't repeat the lurid two-wheel action, but in eleven runs it blew out front left tire seven times. Chrysler still objects to the results of all of those tests and maintains that vehicle was safe.
The 2014 Grand Cherokee was given its shot at the gauntlet in the latest round of moose tests, and Teknikens Varld reports that it passed without any problem at all, its stability control working perfectly, controlling motion at low speeds and all the way up to 44.1 miles per hour. You can watch the video of the new test and read the press release from the magazine on the updated Grand Cherokee below.

Mazda2 nets Japan Car of the Year, Cherokee first US model to ever crack top 10

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

The 2015 Mazda2 is quite high up on our must-drive list. Yes, the teeny, tiny successor to the 100-horsepower five-door is worth getting excited over, largely because the previous generation was one of the absolute best smiles-per-dollar values on the market.
While we eagerly await for our opportunity to take to the 2's helm, our expectations of the new car have just been heightened thanks to its win in Japan's Car of the Year competition. Called "Demio" in the land of the rising sun, Japanese journalists handed out Mazda's second COTY award since the CX-5 took the title in 2012.
In more surprising news, the new Jeep Cherokee has made the list of 10 Best Cars in Japan. The Jeep's triumph marks the first time an American car has cracked the top ten, finishing eighth. It's not, however, the first Fiat Chrysler vehicle to snag the title, following in the footsteps of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta and Fiat Panda. Still, the fact that an American brand can make such impressive inroads into the traditionally tough-to-crack Japanese market is a seriously big deal.

FCA plotting larger Jeep Renegade, Fiat 500XL

Mon, Mar 23 2015

The joint development of the new Jeep Renegade and Fiat 500X goes to show what the combined efforts of the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles group can yield. But don't expect the Italian-American automaker to stop there. According to Autocar, the company is planning to base another pair of larger SUVs on the same platform. The Jeep version would take the place of the previous Compass and Patriot, slotting in between the Renegade and Cherokee. Meanwhile, the Fiat version would further bolster the Cinquecento lineup to sit alongside the 500 hatchback, 500L minivan and 500X crossover. Details remain few and far between at the moment, but they wouldn't be the extent of the growth plans for either brand. Jeep is reportedly zeroing in on a decision on the long-rumored sub-Renegade model, while also preparing to expand up-market with the return of the Grand Wagoneer. Fiat is reportedly abandoning the prospect of offering a full model line as it once did. While the 500 range will continue to form a vital part of the brand's business, it's also tipped to be going after the no-frills, bare-bones market dominated by Renault's Dacia brand. To that end, it would seek to build upon the Panda by offering a larger, but still low-cost hatchback to rival the Ford Focus and VW Golf, and succeed the discontinued Fiat Bravo, but based on the 500L's platform and built in Turkey to keep costs down. This second pillar of the Fiat brand wouldn't likely be offered in the US, however, where we'd expect the 500 line to continue representing the Italian automaker. Related Video:
