2006 Rubi with 69,972 miles (may be a little more due to occasional driving while it's up for sale. I had Chrysler email the build sheet with all of the exact specs and the total number of Impact Orange Rubicon's built in 2006 (only 452). It is in super good condition with the interior and exterior showing very little signs of use. No dents, dings or notable scratches. There are a few rock chips due to driving that has been touched up. The black Sunrider soft top is in good shape as well (hardtop was sold by the previous owner).  It runs and drives like it should. The interior is near perfect and still pretty much original with the exception of a set of front all weather floor liners by Quadratec, Pioneer Mixtrax satellite radio with USB connections and an under dash courtesy light disabling switch (just flip the switch when you remove the doors). Now the exterior and drivetrain is a different story. I wanted to build a trail beast while trying to keep the jeeps awesome originality. Starting with the suspension, I went with a full 4" coil spring lift using Teraflex springs and 8 Teraflex classic adjustable control arms. From there, I used Old Man Emu Nitrocharger shocks and a multitude of other high end components to complete the lift. I then added a set of 4 new Kenda Klever 285/75SR16 on the stock Moab Rubicon wheels. Next a new Rugged Ridge black textured front and rear tube bumpers with a set of KC off-road lights added to the front. Finally, a set of Poison Spyder rocker knockers with tube and a fuel door cover were painted to match the body color and installed.

The ONLY notable thing that I will say about this Jeep (if you want to even call it that) is that it originally was sold and driven up north and there is some surface oxidation on some of the bare metal parts under the jeep (muffler, hubs, nuts, bolts etc) as seen in some of the pics. It is not bad but I am a detail perfectionist and want to be as honest as possible. All of this work and upgrades were completed in May and has less than 100 miles since completion (tires still show signs of the nipple, see pics). I originally built this intending on doing some family rides only to realize that it is not going to work with my family of 5. I will consider taking a trade on the right 4 door automatic JK 4x4 (must be worked before the auctions end). I bought the Rola Adventure Series Bumper Pack for the gear which I will include in the sale for an additional $300 unless "buy it now" is used and I will throw it in (check them out online, they are awesome and cost well over $600 new, which this one is). Do not hesitate to contact me for any questions or specific picture requests. You wont be disappointed. Thanks, Dane

FCA's Pentastar V6 gets more power, efficiency for 2016

Wed, Sep 2 2015

Already a vital member of FCA's powertrain lineup, the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 is receiving major efficiency improvements for 2016. Thanks to a massive amount of new tech attached to the mill, fuel economy is up six percent, and torque below 3,000 rpm jumps nearly 15 percent. The updates arrive first in the 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee, but they should proliferate to other models eventually. At least in the Grand Cherokee, the tweaks push power up five horsepower to 295 ponies. FCA's engineers went through the Pentastar from top to bottom to eke out as much efficiency as possible. For example, there's now a two-speed variable-valve lift system that can run in low- or high-lift modes. This upgrade is responsible for 2.7-percent better economy, the company claims. A new intake manifold with longer runners and updated variable-valve times also helps boost the torque output. Further improvements come from pushing the compression ratio to 11.3:1, from 10.2:1 before. Perhaps most impressive is that despite all of the innovations, the latest Pentastar actually weighs four pounds less than the current version. Beyond the Pentastar improvements, all of the FCA US gasoline engines, except for the Viper's 8.4-liter V10, will be E15-compatible for 2016. The company says that it wants to be ready for the higher ethanol content fuel's greater use in the near future.

Jeep recalls 228k Cherokees over airbag deployment fears

Tue, Feb 3 2015

Jeep is recalling an estimated 228,181 examples of the 2014 and 2015 Jeep Cherokee worldwide because the airbags can inadvertently deploy in some situations. Specifically, the campaign covers 168,092 vehicles in the US, 19,557 in Canada, 4,133 in Mexico and 36,399 outside of North America. According to Jeep, the problem occurs when drivers execute extremely hard handling maneuvers and upset the vehicle's balance, which causes the side-curtain and seat-mounted side airbags to deploy. "The air-bag systems, sensing potential rollovers, automatically activated," according to the automaker's announcement. While this occurred in "a small number" of cases, according to Jeep, the problem caused no reported injuries or accidents. To fix the fault, the company will issue a software update to recalibrate the bags' deployment. Statement: Restraint-System Software Upgrade February 2, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is launching a global recall of an estimated 228,181 SUVs to upgrade software governing side-curtain and seat-mounted side air bags. The action follows an investigation by FCA US engineers after a small number of inadvertent deployments involving drivers who executed extreme maneuvers. These maneuvers dramatically changed the vehicles' angle of operation, relative to the ground. The air-bag systems, sensing potential rollovers, automatically activated. FCA US is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. The software upgrade will recalibrate the threshold for deployment and the vehicles will remain compliant with all applicable safety regulations. Affected are certain 2014 and 2015 Jeep Cherokees. Estimated volumes by market are as follows: 168,092 in the U.S.; 19,557 in Canada; 4,133 in Mexico and 36,399 outside the NAFTA region. The Company will notify affected customers. Software will be available at that time. Customers with additional concerns or questions may call 1-800-853-1403.

Dodge and Jeep recalling 895k SUVs for possibility of headliner fires

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

Dodge and Jeep are announcing recalls of a total of 895,000 Durango and Grand Cherokee models worldwide from the 2011 through 2014 model years. There's a possibility that the wiring in the sun visor can short circuit and cause a fire. It specifically affects vehicles built between January 5, 2010, and December 11, 2013, and there are approximately 651,000 of them in the US, 45,700 in Canada, 23,000 in Mexico and 175,000 outside of North America.
Screws that fasten the sunvisor to the headliner may pierce wires in the visor, if the part has been removed or serviced, potentially causing a fire risk. If the wires short circuit, they could overheat and potentially combust. The automakers report three injuries caused by this defect, and according to the investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, "there may be a total of 52 unique fire incidents."
To fix the problem, Dodge and Jeep will inspect the vehicles for suspect wiring, and all of the models, whether damaged or not, will get a new sun visor spacer with a wire guide to stop the possibility of short circuits. According to the automakers' announcement, "this condition is not present in vehicles which have not had the headliner or vanity mirror serviced." They will notify affected owners, and repairs will begin in August.
