I am selling my 2001 Jeep Wrangler Sahara

This jeep has 118,000 miles and is a clean CA example with absolutely no rust of any kind with a motor from a 2005 Rubicon with 19k on the clock.  

Some details on the car:
- When I purchased the vehicle (unknowing to me) it had a bad (or leaky) cam bearing and when it heated to operating temperature it would lose oil pressure and the light and buzzer would come on.  If it didn't have a oil pressure gage or the buzzer was broke you would have never known.  I didn't mind but I knew it had to be fixed.  These engines are getting harder to come by since this was a common (other people had this happen so not an anomaly) problem around my year motor.  I was able to source a 4.0 out of a 2005 crashed Rubicon that had less than 20,000 on the clock and had a professional Jeep business in town remove and install the new motor.  This was an entire long block from oil pan to valve cover.  We used my peripherals as they were in good condition and may have been replaced already considering how they look and function.  As you can see by the pics below this jeep has been very well cared for and will have many more years of trusted service now that it has a new motor.  It is dry as a bone underneath and is in good shape. This was not a cheap process and someone will benefit from my effort.   I am looking at another vehicle to purchase and this was my "summer fun toy" and it has to go.  As you can see it doesn't get off road much and hasn't spent anytime on salted wintery roads.
- As you will see by the paperwork I have all the documentation from the previous vehicle where the motor came from and the motor has the same VIN to verify it's history and mileage.

Some things that come with the jeep:
- brand new jeep cab cover (in tan from BestTop) still in original carrying case for when the top if off and it rains.  This will work with the doors on or off
- Bikini top (in tan) from BestTop used for one summer with cross bar to mount it up front.  Still looks brand new and is stored in the house
- HID-LED off road lights.  These are about 3.5"x3.5" and sit on the window sill mounts that I had powder coated white to match the Jeep.  They are brand new and come with the vehicle.  They are tiny compared to the older round KC lights but brighter and use only 20 watts.  I figured they would come in handy on back roads late at night or in storms when no traffic exists in the area or the occasional camping two-track type outing.  They haven't been mounted (bolted on) but all wiring is complete and is a quick job since everything else is complete.
- Full stereo integration with custom sub box with 10" sub carpeted to match the interior color.  A new amp, deck unit and all new 5 1/4 speakers both in the sound bar and dash (by your knees).  I was able to remove the 4x6" speakers from factory with an easy aftermarket plate to accommodate the larger circular speaker.


This runs like a dream and will make someone very happy.  Please bid to win as this will sell before the end of the week.  I will not deal with any dealers or car brokers so please don't contact me as I will not respond.  

You will be required to paypal $1,000 within the first 2 days after you have won the auction and pay in full and arrange for travel within 7 days.  Buyer to pay for all shipping and associated costs of purchasing including but not limited to axes, fees, title transfer, etc.


NOTE: I have many pictures and would be happy to email them to anyone who wants to see something that I didn't post.  I tried to pick a good assortment of them to get a general sense of the vehicles condition.  Nothing has been left out intentionally and I would be happy to share.

If you have any questions please let me know and I will be happy to respond.  Good luck on bidding!!!

Note: Added 2/17/2014


I have pictures of the new motor before it went in and also the jeep with the motor out of it as well for reference.  I can't emphasize enough how clean this new motor is and looks like a brand new crate motor.  If anyone would like additional photo's please ask me a question and provide your email and I will send them directly to you.

Thanks for the interest.

New Barracuda, Grand Cherokee Trackhawk coming soon

Wed, Aug 26 2015

As we write this, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is conducting a major dealership event in sunny Las Vegas. New vehicles are being announced, redesigned offerings are being teased, and promises are being made to the sprawling company's dealer body. And, as all these announcements are meant to be tip-top secret, they're leaking out left, right, and center. Naturally. FCA is telling its dealers all of the vehicles shown at the Vegas gala will be in showrooms within 12 to 24 months, and that the product offensive will include at least 30 new or significantly refreshed models. Some of those we've known about since FCA boss Sergio Marchionne unveiled his highly ambitious five-year plan in May 2014, while we're hearing about others for the very first time. We've reached out to our sources within FCA, and will update this post as we learn more. It should be noted that while we've tried to rely on concrete sources or corroborations from multiple sources, some of the news here comes from people claiming to have been in attendance and posting in forums like Allpar and Jalopnik's Opposite Lock. Unless corroborated by a mainstream source or confirmed by our own sources within FCA, we're listing each item that comes from a forum. Have those grains of salt at the ready. Chrysler Dodge Durango-sized SUV with stow-and-go was shown. A poster on Allpar Forums claims it had a Durango's interior. New Aspen? Town and Country PHEV confirmed (again). A plug-in minivan was originally announced as part of five-year plan. No news on 200 or 300. Dodge The redesigned Charger will use the Alfa Romeo Giulia's rear-drive platform and, according Automotive News, draw inspiration from 1999's Charger concept car. We're wagering the 24-month time frame specified to dealers will move the new sedan's arrival up from 2018 to mid-2017. Jalopnik's Opposite Lock claims two new Challenger models are coming. Challenger ADR (American Drag Racer) and T/A. ADR should appeal to bracket racers and is more powerful than the SRT Hellcat, while T/A is for track rats, just like Viper T/A. Automotive News claims the legendary Barracuda nameplate will be revived as a Dodge. The Barracuda will be smaller than Challenger, offered as both a coupe and a convertible. Allpar claims it will feature modern styling. A Dodge Durango SRT was announced with 6.4-liter Hemi V8 and rear-drive. Sources within FCA confirmed its arrival with Autoblog. Apparently, dealers were shown an example in B5 Blue.

FCA CEO Mike Manley will take undefined new role after PSA merger

Wed, Dec 18 2019

MILAN — Fiat Chrysler Chief Executive Mike Manley will remain with the new group set to result from a planned merger with French rival PSA-Peugeot, Chairman John Elkann said on Wednesday. In a letter to Fiat Chrysler (FCA) employees on the day the two companies announced a binding agreement for a $50 billion tie-up to create the world's fourth-largest carmaker, Elkann said he was "delighted" that the combined group would be led by current PSA CEO Carlos Tavares. "And Mike Manley, who has led FCA with huge energy, commitment and success over the past year, will be there alongside him," he said. He did not say what position Manley would hold. Elkann — who will chair the new group — said there was still much to be done to complete the merger. "Over the coming months we must work tirelessly and determinedly to fulfill all the approval requirements needed to finalize the commitment we have signed," he said.

Ward's releases 10 Best Interiors list for 2014

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

While we're still a ways off from the automotive awards season proper, where things like North American Car and Truck of the Year, Motor Trend's Car of the Year and Car and Driver's Ten Best are named, that doesn't mean there aren't trophies being handed out to deserving automakers. Ward's 10 Best Interiors being one of them.
As the name might imply, the magazine focuses on the very best interior treatments in the US market. Whereas some awards purposely exclude extreme, high-dollar offerings, Ward's considers them - the only requirement is that a vehicle has a "new or significantly redesigned interior."
Ward's offered up the list of winners in simple, alphabetical order, and it only seems fair to do the same:
