Sadly it is time for me to sell this jeep. This jeep has under gone a complete transformation from a bone stock wrangler to a completely different vehicle. There has been so many upgrades to this machine I will try to remember most of them but sure I will miss some as I estimate to have about $30,000 worth of just parts and material into this.
The frame: The frame has been completely gone over, started with cutting off all the original factory mounts and stretching the wheel base both in the rear and front about 6" each. The front stretch was done the right way with removing the factory coil buckets and moving those forward on the frame instead of just the axle. This puts more weight to the rear of the vehicle where it is needed and also allows the front axle to clear the front of the engine under full axle compression. The steering has also been upgraded to use a new steering box for the newer wranglers which helps the vehicle track better. The rear axle was moved back and converted to fit the outboard shocks which helps with road manners. It rides on New, old man emu springs with 4" of lift. After all welding grinding and cutting was done the frame was re-sand blasted and then the entire frame was hot dipped galvanized in a bath of 850 degree molten zinc. This coated the entire frame inside AND out. It was dipped twice and then quenched in chromium. Basically this frame will never rust. Also the crappy stamped rear frame member was replaced with 1/4 box steel and Custom bumper with hitch and back up lights and D ring Clevis was added also 1/4 steel and hot dipped galvanized. Suspension: As mentioned all new high quality shocks on all 4 corners, and springs. It has a TNT customs long arm lift on it again with front and rear stretch. ($5,000 alone). All parts are extremely heavy duty rebuildable, greaseable, and powder coated. It has a bomb proof skid plate as well. This kit is top of the line and required extensive cutting and welding to upgrade to this new suspension which rides great for what it is. All welding was done by a certified nuclear reactor welder. Also has jks quick sway bar disconnects in front. The body: the original body was scrapped and a newer rust free 02 body was put in place. The body was stripped and the underside was professionally sand blasted and then coated upside down with por-15 so it will never rust. Then the entire tub was rhino lined inside and out with the DuPont Kevlar liner. The good stuff that about $100 a gallon. Then the underside of the tub was covered nearly everywhere with sound deadining mat. Because of this the jeep is relatively quiet even without carpet inside. Every bolt was cleaned and coated with never seize so stuck bolts won't be a issue down the road. The front hood was customized to open like a big rig. The whole front end flips forward and makes working under the hood a breeze. Interior: The jeep was driven without carpet for a while but recently put in some black carpet for the winter and looks good. The dash has been updated to the 03+ era with the rotary controls and AC. Also a set of iss-pro ev2 gauges monitor critical vehicle information. During transformation the entire hvac system was also updated to the newer more efficient 03+ system. It was also gone over and has a new ac evaporator core, fan, heater core etc. the seats, dash and everything is all 02+ Drivetrain: Oh yes the real deal, the jeep is moved by a 4 cylinder 4bt cummins diesel that was rebuilt by cummins approximately 20k miles ago. The engine fires right up every time and runs strong and true. It still has the stock turbo on it which makes about 25 psi of boost. About a month ago the fuel was finally turned up from the stock setting it has been at since new. These adjustments definitely woke it up but I'm sure there is a lot more power to unlock in this motor. Doesn't use any oil and coolant is always clean. Custom extremely heavy duty motor mounts made from 1/2 steel gusseted everywhere and mounted mid motor to distribute the weight evenly. They are also galvanized. The transmission is a completely rebuilt automatic 700r4 k case (truck version) the tranny was completely gone through and beefed up everywhere it could. It took some tuning but it now works great behind the diesel and is very strong. The shifter has been swapped out to a custom fitted b&m shifter and looks and works great. Transfer case was also rebuilt and a slip yoke eliminator kit was installed to accept the new tom woods drive shaft which connects to the stout ford 8.8 rear axle with disc brakes. The rear axle was recently regeared to a ford racing 4:10 and all new bearings and seals were installed. There is the TNT customs axle truss welded to it with all new spring mounts etc. basically a very strong axle and all new. Fuel economy: I currently daily drive this jeep down to Pittsburg daily and average about 25 yes 25 mpg and that's with a lot of stop and go driving. I would guess highway mpg is over 30mpg cause the motor is hardly working. The jeep goes 65 mph comfortably and will easily do 70+ With no death wobble and lots of power left. Wheels: The jeep is rolling on new Mickey Thompson mtz's 33's with new moto metal 17" rims. So why am I selling this awesome vehicle? Simply it's not a great kid hauler. Ive been doing it for about a year now but the kid keeps growing and there's probably more in the future. I know I will kick myself eventually for doing this but it's a necessary evil. Oh there is also dual batteries with a selector switch in the cab for battery 1 or 2 or both. This way you can run radios or lights or whatever without fear of running the battery to low to start. Or you can turn it to off for a good security system. The jeep is completely emp bomb (electro magnetic pulse) and taser proof. So basically no electronic failure will shut this jeep down. It's completely mechanical. I'm sure there is more but I'm tired of typing. Any questions just ask. Title is clean and will say a 97 with 180k miles or so, even tho nothing is left on this jeep with those miles on it. Approximately 12,000 miles since project completion. Vehicle is also listed locally so i reserve the right to end the auction early. |

Australian Jeep marketing stunt goes awry [w/video]
Tue, 15 Jul 2014Jeep 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.
Chrysler expecting up to 200,000 9-speed transmissions for 3 models this year
Tue, 22 Jan 2013Striving for improved fuel economy, we already knew that Chrysler will begin using a nine-speed automatic transmission in some of its new products this year, but what we haven't known is that volume at which this gearbox will be used. According to Bloomberg, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has been quoted as saying that the automaker expects to sell close to 200,000 units equipped with this new transmission in 2013. Those gear-rich trannies will be spread out across three models, consisting of the redesigned Chrysler 200, the still-unnamed Jeep Liberty replacement and the Dodge Dart.
This transmission should play a pivotal role in making Chrysler vehicles more competitive in their respective segments. Just for comparison, one of the Dart's key competitors, the Toyota Corolla, still uses a four-speed automatic, and a previous report indicates that the next-generation 200 could get up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway, which is better than most non-hybrid midsize sedans on the market. Marchionne says that the new Jeep model is expected during the second quarter of this year, but there is no word as to when the new 200 or nine-speed Dart will debut, but clearly Dodge would like to have the transmission in its compact yesterday. As for that volume figure, it definitely doesn't seem out of reach since the Dart, Liberty and 200 combined for a total of more than 225,000 units in 2012.
How many more gears can we expect in future cars? Probably not many more, since the CEO of transmission-builder ZF, Stefan Sommer, previously stated that nine speeds was the "natural limit" for transmissions.
Millionth Jeep Wrangler JK to roll off line this morning
Fri, 17 May 2013According to a report on the Chrysler Communications Facebook page and one fairly grainy image of the production line, at around 11:00AM Eastern this morning, the one-millionth Jeep Wrangler JK will roll out of the company's Toledo assembly plant.
The third-generation or "JK" Jeep Wrangler has been around since the 2007 model year, and has obviously been more popular than ever. With a greater than ever number of trim levels, two-door and four-door Unlimited models and hardy off-roading Rubicon packages, the JK offers more to choose from than ever for those looking for something in a traditional Jeep. In fact, with the modern 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 powering it, the 2012 model year saw more than 140k Wrangers sold here in the US; the best-ever figure for the model.
With a model refresh due out for the Wrangler in 2015 (along with the likely addition of a diesel engine option), we expect that sales will continue to roll right along, too.
