Looking too sell the heep, no i am not getting out of the game, something else kinda caught my eye and id really like too try and grab it. Will deliver within reason for a fee.

Specs..

1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
4.0L 42re
270k

AFAIK Less than 100k on engine and tranny

Things done since ive bought it..

New radiator, new water pump, new Flexilite 16" Fan, new thermostat, new coolant.

Four new rust free doors and hatch
New trans mount
New airbox located Higher up (1998 Ford Minivan airbox)
Rear axle has been totally freshened up with new bearings and seals, fresh oil, new rear rotors, calipers, and pads.
ABS system has been deleted, pump is pulled, new hard lines run front and back, module and fuse is pulled, so no dash brake light.
Rear control arms replaced with ones from a newer Grand.
Roof rack installed with run of the mill 55w driving lights
Cobra 18WXT CB mounted with fire stick antenna, (dunno if im gonna let this go, I may keep the antenna and mount)
Wheel wells, inside fenders and lower body have been coated with Herculiner
Also have a set JKS front sway bar disconnects waiting too go on.
Custom rear bumper with 2 15k# d ring shackles
Hood louvers installed from a lebaron turbo, These things love too run HOT and any extra venting is good
What it needs....

New springs- the ones on the jeep are SHOT, 270k and rust means they're done, sagging, PERIOD. Good news is i have a complete set of upcountry springs (off an orvis edition, 1" higher than stock) that are in great shape ready to go in.

Needs new shocks, The rears were pulled , fronts are still on, but shot. I was going too buy a budget boost kit with the shocks and put em in while swapping the springs, take care of it all at once.

Front lower control arms are shot, all you need too do is swap in the control arms i have for the front, just didn't get to it yet, because...

The front axle is shot, done, chooched. I have a matching gear ratio 3.55 high pinion dana 30 to go in the front, The gears are perfect, i was going too swap out axle shafts from the current axle, its painted , but needs balljoints and bearings installed. The HP dana 30 is a direct swap for the low pinion thats in there currently. I was planning on swapping the control arms and this at the same time

Also has a crack in the windshield

I have literally put over 2k in parts and labor into this thing, yes the underside is rusty, but there are no holes and its surprisingly solid for its age.


heres some pics, 1300.00 OBO, if i dont see it, ill just keep working on it. Majority of the parts are there too turn this into a dynamite offroad project,
