1997 Jeep Wrangler 5.7l V8 on 2040-cars
Cape Coral, Florida, United States
|
Up for auction is my 1997 Jeep wrangler with a 5.7L small block Chevy 350 and a 700r4 transmission. My goal for this jeep was to make it a simple vehicle to work on as well as visually appealing and I personally believe that I have succeeded. There are no complicated fuel systems needed to diagnose or intricate computer systems to troubleshoot. Anybody who knows Chevy motors would be able to work on this jeep with no trouble. This vehicle runs and drives well. It has great low end power with the ability to cruise 80 miles on the highway no problem. This Jeep has not been abused at all. For the most part it was garage kept except on sunny days when riding to the beach. The odometer on the jeep list 195930 but I did the swap at 182000 miles so the power train only has 14,000 miles on it. I am the second owner. As soon as I purchased the Jeep I parked it in my garage and began the conversion. The reason I am selling is because of the lack of use it gets in my possession. The majority of the 4 years I’ve owned it, it just sits in the garage. So I would like to now use that space to build a caf? racer. Here’s a list of a few of the main specs/mods I have done: POWERTRAIN 5.7 L Chevy V8 350ci (Remanufactured Crate motor) 700r4 Transmission (Rebuilt from Goodfellas transmissions in Tarpon Springs) March Performance Serpentine Kit Lokar 700r4 linkage shifter NP231 Transfer case Transfer case cable shifter MSD Hei Distributor Edelbrock 1400 Carburator 3 Core radiator with transmission cooler ports Electric fan w/ shroud Stand alone Transmission cooler Custom Exhaust with muffler and catalytic converter 4.11 Gears Edelbrock Performance 2101 intake manifold Conversion adapters through Advance Adapters and Novak EXTERIOR Freshly painted exterior within the last 2 years Rugged Ridge Side rails Warn Front Bumper with a grill guard and winch mount 9000lb winch Fender Flares Hood lock for security New Bestop Top Mirror relocation bracket so that you can ride with the doors off still have mirrors. INTERIOR Freshly painted interior within the last 2 years Upgraded to 03-06 roll bar padding Upgraded to 03-06 Sound Pods with light All the gauges in the instrument cluster works with the conversion except the tach so there is an aftermarket tach on the dashboard Dashboard blue led upgrade CD/MP3/USB head unit Alpine Mono Amp Sony Explode Subwoofer Speaker upgrade to 5.25 speakers in dash and 6.5 polk audio’s in speaker pods Both the front and rear seats are vinyl. Not covers. Interior lined with truck bed lining Fuel Pump cut off switch for security Jeep branded grab handles SUSPENSION 16x Moto Metal wheels Goodyear Duratrac 305x70x16 tires with 95% tread left Full Size Spare tire holder 3” Zone lift kit Adjustable upper control arms The front brake pads have <300 miles on them and the rear shoes still have plenty of life on them. The brake lines were flushed 2 months ago. Plus much more… To see more pictures of this Jeep go to http://imgur.com/a/XIjgf If you would like a specific picture to be taken, message me and I will try to take it as soon as possible. I understand that it may be a little intimidating to buy a vehicle so I am trying to make it as easy as possible so I have created a video for your viewing pleasure. These are not the best quality videos but it can give you something to judge off of before you come see the jeep. To see a video of a test drive of this jeep click https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjhpkuhIHQo Another video of the jeep driving at highway speeds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cB9NDW0pIUY&feature=youtu.be There aren’t many flaws at all on this jeep, but I want to be open with the jeep so the only ones I can find are a small scratch on the driver door. The Pulley kit comes with the AC Compressor and the Jeep’s OEM setup had A/C as well, I just haven’t had the work done to finish the setup. It really just needs an accumulator and a shop to hook up the hoses to the compressor. With the windows down or doors off, I never had a need for A/C but at least you know its not too much more work needed to get A/C if necessary. And the driver sun panel may need to be stitched up (seen in the pictures). I have a clean title in hand. This jeep is road ready. Bring cash and your own license plate and drive it home if you want. Keep in mind that this is a FL jeep so I have not had to have any emissions tests. Buyer is responsible for researching their state's registration requirements. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask or come and see it for yourself. I will need a non refundable $500 paypal deposit within 24 hours of auction ending and the rest of the payment within 7 days of auction ending. I’ll accept cash or cashier checks for payment. Jeep is listed locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Any ebay members with less than 10 feedback MUST message me prior to bidding or their bid will be cancelled. Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs and arrangement. This vehicle is being sold as is, where is with no
warranty, expressed written or implied. *Buyers Inspection: I have done my best to
disclose all information known about this Jeep for auction. I welcome a buyer’s
inspection. If you plan to have an inspection, please make ?sure you inspect
the vehicle prior to the auction ending. If you choose not to inspect the
vehicle prior to purchase, you are responsible to use the photos provided
and ask questions before purchase to ensure the Jeep meets your expectations
upon pickup. Inspection fees, if any, are Buyers responsibility. Winning bidder has committed to buy, not look. On Apr-04-14 at 15:18:22 PDT, seller added the following information: No Reserve and I am not ending auction early. Highest bidder on Monday night will win the Jeep!

2015 Jeep Renegade Sport 4x4 Quick Spin [w/video]
Tue, Jun 23 2015Which is the most entertaining Jeep Renegade you can get? While one might make an argument for the Trailhawk model and its accompanying off-road hardware and consequential go-anywhere ability, that car comes with one glaring flaw – its 2.4-liter engine and nine-speed automatic transmission just aren't very entertaining. Instead, I submit the turbocharged, 1.4-liter base engine and its accompanying six-speed manual, a position that was reinforced after a recent stint behind the wheel of a very basic Sport 4x4. Not only do you get a fair amount of the Trailhawk's off-road ability – the Selec-Terrain system and a 4WD Lock mode are standard, but you'll be without the 20:1 crawl ratio and Rock off-road mode – you'll also enjoy a more dynamically interesting powertrain. Read on to see why the force-induced Renegade might just be the way to go. Driving Notes My first date with the Renegade was on the mostly empty, winding roads of northern California. There, the 1.4-liter turbocharged inline-four with 160 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque felt fine – with no traffic and few stoplights along the drive route, it was easy to keep the engine on boil. But this engine isn't as enjoyable in day-to-day suburban traffic. Power arrives suddenly – peak torque comes between 2,500 and 4,000 rpm – and if you don't use it, you lose it. There's not much oomph in the higher end of the rev range. With such a peaky powerband, it's easy to get caught flat-footed if you're not paying attention. Thankfully the manual transmission makes it simple to stay engaged and in the correct gear. The stick-shift is enjoyable to use, with a firm clutch that's easy to modulate and shift action that isn't sloppy or vague. The 1.4-liter engine sounds good. Turn down the stereo, stomp on the throttle, and you'll be treated to a delicious turbo whistle and a smooth exhaust note. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I want Mopar to offer the Fiat 500 Abarth's exhaust on the Renegade. It'd be fun. If you do prefer the stereo, know that the Renegade's standard four-speaker unit is weak. Base models don't offer Bluetooth or satellite radio, but you can add both of those luxuries, two extra speakers, and a five-inch touchscreen for just $695. Not a bad bargain. The Koni frequency selective dampers do an excellent job of managing both small, frequent imperfections (like freeway expansion joints), and the bigger potholes that still haven't been fixed after the havoc of Detroit's winter.
Here's why you shouldn't try to drift a Jeep Cherokee
Tue, Nov 25 2014This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. There are many reasons why an XJ-generation (or really any other) Jeep Cherokee doesn't make for a good drift machine. It's tall, it's four-wheel-drive... it's a Jeep, okay? But someone apparently forgot to tell that to this guy. Uploaded to LiveLeak, this video shows some poor schmuck who took his Cherokee to a (mostly) empty parking lot and tried to drift it. Needless to say, things didn't go quite as he planned, but they probably went exactly as you might have expected. Thankfully, nobody appears to have been hurt. Or at least, we assume so, since the guy apparently survived to put the video up online.
Fiat 500X poised for Paris catwalk
Wed, 05 Feb 2014We've known for some time that the new, Fiat-based baby Jeep (which may or may not be called the Jeepster) is set to arrive at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. What we weren't sure of was whether its platform mate, the so-called Fiat 500X, would be doing so alongside or at a later date. Well, according to Reuters, we'll get to see the first all-wheel-drive 500 later this year in the City of Lights.
Yes, we can expect the 500X to arrive at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, according to an official with an Italian trade union. The unnamed source cited retooling at Fiat's Melfi factory, in southern Italy, which currently produces the Grande Punto. It's expected that the newest member of the growing 500 family will replace the Suzuki SX4-based Fiat Sedici, although when the X will go on sale remains an open question.
According to Reuters, both the Jeepster and 500X will be built alongside each other in Italy. Whether the 500X will cross the pond with it's slat-grilled cousin, though, remains to be seen (we're leaning towards yes).
