"Featured Jeep"

Description

PURCHASED: Purchased used in 1996 from a car dealer in San Diego, CA. Vehicle was stock. CONDITION: $30,000 invested to build a good looking and extremely capable trail Jeep. I had the vehicle professionally rebuilt including replacement of engine, transmission, axles, and suspension. I have receipts. Odometer mileage does not reflect actual mileage on replaced items. Engine and transmission have approximately 52,000 miles (see Engine description below). Axles and suspension have less than 2000 miles. Vehicle is street legal and is as reliable on the freeway (70+ MPH) as the trail. I have taken it out approximately 6 times on tails that range from easy to difficult and have always been impressed by how capable it performs. I usually end up leading the 4x4 group. I drove it 8 hours straight on the freeway to a trail in Northern CA, had lunch and wheeled the rest of the day with no problems to speak of. Be confident that this Jeep has been tested but not beat. Small scratches here and there as would be expected but look at the pictures and you be the judge. Small dent in tailgate from previous tire carrier which you can’t see when carrier is closed. Vehicle interior is stock with no radio, no foam dash installed but is included (had to be removed when installing full roll cage). Vehicle has been inspected and approved by the California Bureau of Automotive Repair and smogged in California for several years. It has passed the semi annual smog test every time. I will smog the vehicle if purchased by a CA buyer prior to completion of transaction. This vehicle was never a daily driver and was garaged and covered when not being used. ENGINE: The engine was installed by San Diego Car Crafters in El Cajon, CA and runs excellent. It is a Chevrolet 305 TBI (throttle body injected) from a totaled 89’ Z28 Camaro that had 50,000 miles. All OEM engine parts (except for air conditioning which was removed) were used including the electrical harness which was modified to connect with the Jeep’s stock electrical system. New electrical sending units were installed to work with the vehicle’s stock gauges. Bombproof motor mounts. New radiator and fan shroud sized for Chevy V8. New heater core. New hoses, belts, wires, and plugs. New professionally installed exhaust including a turbo muffler. 99% of parts are stock off the shelf type. Vehicle averages 15 MPG. TRANSMISSION: The transmission was also installed by San Diego Car Crafters and is an automatic 700R4 with overdrive from the same donor car (89’ Z28 Camaro). New driveshafts were made to accommodate the longer transmission. B&M transmission cooler and shifter installed. AXLES: Front and rear Dana 44 axles custom built and installed by MIT Drivetrain Specialists in El Cajon, CA. Moser axles with 4:88 gears and Detroit Lockers. Warn locking hubs. Rockcrusher differential covers. Disk brakes front, drum rear. TRANSFER CASE: Dana 300 with Advance Adapters kit to mate to transmission. Twin stick shifters installed so you can disengage the front or rear axle at anytime. SUSPENSION: 4” Skyjacker spring under suspension lift with Doetsch Tech shocks. 2” JB Conversions body lift. Dynatrac U-Bolt Reversal Kit for added ground clearance. Sway bar disconnects. Heavy duty Currie tow shackles front and rear. All parts installed by MIT Drivetrain Specialists in El Cajon, CA. BODY: $2000 body work and paint job that included complete strip of old paint and repainted with PPG dark metallic brown (stock Jeep color) and clear coated. There was no rust holes since it was a southern California vehicle. Old soft top snaps that were in the tub were removed, the holes welded closed and sanded. Interior is painted same color as exterior. New fender flares installed including Wrangler flares in rear to accommodate larger tires. Metal half doors with soft windows. Best Top soft top with full soft doors. No hard top. No full hard doors. TIRES AND RIMS: BFG 33x12.5x15 tires and 10x15 Aluminum American Racing Baja rims. Full size spare and rim.

If you are serious about purchasing this vehicle call me. I will accept a cashiers check, money order, or wire transfer only. SHIPMENT: The buyer is responsible for all shipping costs. I can assist in locating this service for you but you are responsible for all costs. FINAL THOUGHTS: Remember that you are purchasing a used vehicle. There are some flaws and minor imperfections. The vehicle can be inspected any time and I encourage you to do so. The vehicle is being sold as is with no warranty. I put a lot of time and effort into building a vehicle that is trail worthy and solid. My price is reasonable for what I invested. If you call or email me and ask “what is the lowest you will take for it” my response will be the advertised price. That being said I don’t mind offers so go ahead and make one but don’t insult me.
