This is among the most incredible jeeps you will find. There is absoultey nothing that needs to be done with this. It has the custom paint, frame, fabrication and the motor and drivetrain to back up its bada$$ looks. This jeep has a 327 built chromed out motor that is equipped with a racing cam, Edlebrock 650 or 750 carb, and heddman headers. This motor when changing fluids is only fueled with the best with 93 octane fuel, additives, and the best parts our store can get(Spark plugs, ect.). We recently payed a professional to polish the jeep from the bottom up as to show the buyer the true potential in its physical(not photographic) state. My father is the owner of this jeep and is one of those people that when he builds something and is done he gets in a mood to start on something else. This jeep has to be seen to be believed how insanely clean and pristine it truly is. The picture commits no justice to what happens when it truly meets the eye. 

It has a three inch rancho lift and runs on 33/12.50/15 thorn birds. The tires ride on what i believe is an older type of american racing wheel but like the rest of the jeep both are in near perfect condition. This is among the best sounding gas vehicles i have ever heard. The exhaust is loud when you want to hit the big Rpms but still quiet enough to hear when you are cruising down the road as fast as you feel comfortable. No speed is unobtainable with this monster. This is so clean you could comfortably eat off any part of this thing. 

The interior consists of new black matching leather with new carpet and weather tech floor mats. IT has a b&m shifter to handle handle the custom tranny below it to what i believe to be around 400 horse to the rear wheels, but for you power power guys it is prob around 500 motor. 

One another note. This has not been out in the rain. It is either in the garage, out on a sunny day, or in our storage unit underneath the cover. This jeep has got more followers and stares than any other jeep we have owned. We do not do shows, we build things the way we want and then start on something new. I would like to see someone take as clean of care of this as we did while easily winning whatever show they choose to partake in. Please let me know if there is anything you need. I have paperwork on all parts. And there are receipts for over 35k in this jeep. Call/ text 2178219929 or 2178214380. Our names are Kolby and/or Brad and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have. P.S. We still have some very minor "bolt together" things we have to do yet but the jeep will be in perfect* condition when buyer makes purchase. Which is also for sale locally. We are in Central Illinois so if you would like to come take a look or a test drive please let us know by calling the previous numbers given. 

Thanks
Kolby and Brad

2015 Ford F-150 named Truck of Texas, Lincoln and Jeep also awarded at Truck Rodeo

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

The Ford Motor Company has a lot of reasons to celebrate after winning eight categories in this year's Texas Auto Writers Association's annual Truck Rodeo. Most important among them, the Blue Oval's latest 2015 Ford F-150 earned the prestigious Truck of Texas award, ending the Ram 1500's two-year winning streak. The 2015 Lincoln MKC also grabbed the honor as the CUV of Texas, and Ford was named Truck Line of Texas.
FoMoCo even took trophies for best technology with its extensive use of aluminum on its latest F-Series and best commercial vehicle for the new Transit 250. It wasn't a total sweep, though, because the Jeep Grand Cherokee grabbed the title of the SUV of Texas for the fifth straight time.
This year's event put 60 auto writers in 75 pickups, SUVs and crossovers and challenged them to find the best in a plethora of categories. All of the winners are listed below, and scroll down to read the full announcements from the Texas Auto Writers Association and Ford.

Fiat Chrysler target 850k sales in China by 2018

Sun, 11 May 2014

Behind the vanguard of numerous Jeep models, two Chryslers, a smattering of Fiats and Alfa Romeos and local production through a joint venture with Guangzhou Automotive Group (GAG), Fiat Chrysler wants to increase sales in China more than six-fold by 2018. The group sold 130,000 cars in China in 2013, the aim for 2018 being 850,000 cars.
Ultimately it's expected that the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Cherokee, Wrangler, Renegade, the coming Grand Wagoneer and a sub-Renegade-sized crossover will either be built in or exported to the People's Republic. The Chrysler Town & Country and 300 will join the export list in 2016 and 2018 respectively, according to a report in Automotive News.
With a number of those vehicles not in production or perhaps even envisaged yet, and others not due on the local market until 2018, it will be interesting to see how Fiat Chrysler plans to achieve the target in the specified timeframe. The joint venture with GAG builds two products now, the Dodge Dart-based Fiat Viaggio launched two years ago - supposedly designed just for China - and the just-launched Fiat Ottimo, a hatchback version of the Viaggio. Fiat projected 300,000 Viagio sales in its first two years, that number has been adjusted downward to 94,000 and there doesn't appear to be an analyst alive that sees a good future for Fiat in China's overrun mainstream market. Still, last year's 130,000 group sales in China is a huge jump from 2012 sales of 66,000 units, but less than half the 300,000 units it projected.

Jeep Twitter account hacked, bad language, poor grammar and some hilarity ensue

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

Just a day after Burger King's Twitter account was compromised by "unauthorized users," Jeep's social media feed has been similarly hacked. Both instances of digital incursion share some similarities - the BK hackers changed the company's logo for McDonald's familiar golden arches, saying a sale had occurred, while the Jeep miscreants have replaced Jeep's branding with that of General Motors property Cadillac.
The resulting tweets from the damaged Jeep account have been a pretty brutal, to put it bluntly. Most of the content coming from the hacked account is unpublishable here, using language that is peppered with racial epithets, and poorly worded "shout outs."
In addition to the defamatory tweets themselves, the hackers have significantly altered the layout of the page. Jeep's header image now features a picture of the Cadillac ATS to go along with the Wreath and Crest, some language calling out that car as winning the 2013 North American Car of the Year award, and this gem: "The official Twitter handle for the Jeep(R) - Just Empty Every Pocket, Sold To Cadillac =[" Also, perhaps in an ode to yesterday's Burger King heist, the background image for the page now features a McDonald's-themed donk. The devil's in the details, we guess.
