2003 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Sport Utility 2-door 5.3 V8 Ls 3 on 2040-cars

Year:2003 Mileage:56000
Location:

For sale is my 2003 Jeep Rubicon That I had custom built.  They say "a Jeep can go anywhere but not too fast"  Here is your exception to that rule.  I purchased this Arizona jeep and installed a GM LS-3 5.3 V8 with 4L-60E transmission package from a rear ended silverado with 46 K on the clock.  It came with all necessary components from the donor truck including the drive by wire throttle, clean wiring harness, ecm Etc.  This is the aluminum block version and weighs 100 pounds less than the lethargic 6, and is rated at around 340 hp with free flow exhaust and intake.  The body/odometer digital dash reads 107,000 but is actually about 53k.  The motor is stock.  ALL driveline components were removed and rebuilt of refurbished with new fluids and seals.  Rear axles were replaced with USA Alloy hardened axles as a precaution with factory 4:10's, the rest of the driveline is stock Rubicon and in excellent working order.  The lockers will work in hi or low lock.  The chassis was coated with bullet proof pore 15 coating and the interior floor pan is coated with Rhino line.  The Jeep sits on a 4" long arm lift, 35" tires and a 1" body lift.  The top is a new Bestop Sunrider, 1000 watt stereo, and tons more bling and goodies.  All of the work was done by a professional shop and there are no issues with the vehicle whatsoever.  Please ask questions and come and see it for yourself...This is a bad boy jeep, not for the timid or shy.  It has absolutely no rust ANYWHERE and has not seen mud, just a little sand.  I have all paperwork for parts and professional installation.  Carfax is clean, and I am 52 years old-the truck has never been abused, just my little Jeep hotrod. This item is listed locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early.  May consider trade for cabin cruiser boat.  TXT questions to 219-617-3993.  The last pic. is Ruby's replacement.  I have clean title in hand.  Make a non-insulting offer and she may be yours!

Chrysler recalling nearly 141k vehicles over electrical woes

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

Software glitches that randomly illuminate warning lights and cause instrument cluster blackouts are forcing Chrysler to recall 140,800 vehicles, The Detroit News reports. The automaker is recalling 132,000 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokees, 91,559 of which are in the US. In addition to the Jeep recalls, Chrysler is adding 10,800 2014 Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 trucks to the list for similar problems.
Chrysler reportedly says, "Both events occurred infrequently and appeared to resolve themselves by tuning the vehicle's ignition off and then on."
Engineers discovered a problem with the anti-lock-braking system software that causes the instrument cluster display of the Grand Cherokee to illuminate warning lights and black out - even its ABS and electronic stability control systems are affected. To fix the Jeeps, Chrysler will update the vehicle's software.

Australian Jeep marketing stunt goes awry [w/video]

Tue, 15 Jul 2014

Jeep fans in Australia are none too happy with the off-road brand following a contest that saw ten new Cherokees sold for just $10,000 Australian (about $9,400), roughly a quarter of the vehicle's price Down Under.
The contest, called the "World's Most Remote Dealership," gave Aussies the chance to snag an ultra-affordable Cherokee Longitude (analogous to the US-spec Latitude trim), provided they could get to a secret dealership in the remote wilderness of western New South Wales, near the border with the state of South Australia.
In order to get the exact location of the dealership, though, potential customers needed to download an app, which would release a phone number 9:00 AM AEST on Thursday (7:00 PM EDT, Wednesday night). The first ten people who could call in and prove they could afford to finance $10,000 and get to the remote dealership, were given the location of the remote dealership.

Fiat Chrysler to get $105M fine from NHTSA for recall woes

Sun, Jul 26 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is about to send a powerful message to automakers doing business in the United States, assuming reports of an upcoming $105 million fine against Fiat Chrysler Automobiles comes to fruition. In addition to the record-setting monetary fine, according to The Wall Street Journal, FCA will have to accept an independent auditor that will monitor the company's recall and safety processes and will be forced to buy back certain recalled vehicles. In other cases, such as with Jeep Grand Cherokee and Liberty models with gas tanks that could potentially catch fire in certain types of accidents, FCA will offer financial encouragement for owners to get their recall work done or to trade those older vehicles in on new cars, according to the report. FCA could reportedly reduce its fines if it meets certain conditions, though those remain unclear at this time. These actions against FCA are being taken after NHTSA began a probe into the automaker over almost two dozen separate instances where the government claims FCA failed to follow proper procedures for recalls and safety defects. Included in those safety lapses are more than 11 million vehicles currently in customer hands. These penalties and fines are separate from the investigation over security problems with Chrysler's Uconnect system that allowed hackers to obtain remote access into key vehicle systems in 1.4 million vehicles.
