1978 Jeep Wagoneer.  12,086 ORIGINAL MILES!!!


This truck was originally a west coast truck. In storage for about 25 years in California then sold to someone in New Jersey in 2010. This Jeep remained totally stock until it was shipped to New Jersey. From that point it has had an extensive number of upgrades and add ons that are almost to much to mention. There were approx 8,200 miles on the truck when it arrived in New Jersey in 2010 currently it has just over 12,000 original miles on the odometer. It does remain almost 100% rust free, there are two small spots on the bottom rear wheel arches, one on each side approx 2" diameter(easily fixed). The paint was redone in the past and looks good with only minor dings from it being 35+years old. 

There is over $8,000 in PARTS alone on this wagoneer since it was purchased in 2010. I currently have well over $5,000 in receipts and many parts on the truck that I don't have a receipt for. It does have Dana 44 axles front and rear and was upgraded to disc brakes on all four wheels using NEW calipers, rotors, and pads. The transfer case was also upgraded to a Dana 300 twin stick. I will also include all the original parts off the truck and other wagoneer parts that I have including(the four original leaf springs, 2 original front seats in good condition, extra door hinges, extra interior and exterior trim pieces, original front spindles and hubs, original front and rear driveshafts, original aircleaner, New chrome transmission pan, original distributer, original fuel pump, used A/C compressor, New A/C compressor clutch, New headlights, original 3 piece bumper, etc.)

Four Wheeler crowns Ultimate Factory 4x4... who wins?

Thu, 15 Nov 2012

Nearly every automaker doing business in the SUV or pickup truck segments offers a package designed to improve the off-road capabilities of its wares. But, of course, not all such factory kits are created equal. How, then, to separate the wheat from the chaff? Gather each of them up and put them through their paces, naturally.
The folks from Four Wheeler and PickupTrucks.com joined forces to run just such a comparison test, with the winner named the Ultimate Factory 4x4. A total of seven vehicles showed up to the fight: the 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, 2012 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X and Xterra PRO-4X, 2012 Ram Power Wagon, and 2012 Toyota 4Runner Trail and Tacoma TRD T|X Baja Series.
With the contestants in place, the whole crew put each vehicle through a battery of tests that included skidpad and acceleration measurements, a hillclimb, a rocky stairstep course and a rock garden. Considering the nature of the beasts, on-road ride and comfort were not part of the routine.

2014 Jeep Compass/Patriot sing their swan songs with a six-speed automatic

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

Unless the governor, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne, gives them a reprieve, the 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot are expected to meet their makers sometime next year. Should they perish, it's a shame that it would happen just as they've shed the continuously variable transmission that was their major bugbear, and just as the Compass has gotten its best looks yet.
Both will roll with a proper six-speed automatic transmission, courtesy of PowerTech. Noise-resistant gears and tuning by Chrysler boffins should alleviate the unappealing sounds that were given off by the older CVT. Unless, that is, you choose to have either model equipped with Freedom Drive II; the serious off-road package, available on both baby Jeeps, will still come with the CVT. The base transmission on the entry-level Sport trim remains the five-speed manual.
Otherwise, it's minor changes for the Compass, set off by the new 18-inch wheel option, trim pieces around the car and a back-up camera. The Patriot gets seat-mounted airbags, but is carryover otherwise. With their expected demises perhaps a year away, not much has changed otherwise. Engine choices comprise the 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 158 horsepower and 141 pound-feet of torque or the 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 172 hp and 165 lb-ft.

Jeep Wrangler by Vilner takes extreme luxury off-road

Mon, 20 Jan 2014

Vilner turned its customary and intensely luxurious attentions to a two-door Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited back in 2012, following that up this year with its take on the four-door version. A coat of lustrous black paint outside is brightened up LED headlights, foglights and taillights and layers of chrome laid on the grille, mirrors, door handles and fuel filler cap.
Stance gets an injection of brawn from the 20-inch wheels, and they'll roll faster thanks to the power upgrade from 197 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque in the 2.8-liter diesel to 257 hp and 412 lb-ft.
Inside is furious red, with cross-stitched crimson leather and Alcantara demanding your focus. When you can look away from that, you'll find the raw metal parts painted black and again ornamented in minor applications of chrome. Feel free to feast on it in the high-res gallery above.
