There is a bucket load of 4WD and non-4WD activities and events planned (as well as a chock-a-block prize cabinet thanks to our Sponsors) and it's all part of your registration...including the Saturday night presentation dinner featuring:


Peter Rowsthorn is an Australian comedy actor best known for his TV work. Most recently we have sympathised with Peter as Brett - Kim's estranged husband in ABC`s Kath and Kim. Brett is a computer geek, a bit of a pants man who is deeply in love with Kim. Brett considers himself a Mr Average that is lucky enough to have a horn bag of a wife and he can't believe his...

The "Jeep Intern" video series is still going strong. In the latest installment, he freezes, then bakes - all in the name of building a better Jeep.

These Jeep Intern videos are really starting to grow on me. I think it's really interesting to meet the people actually designing, testing, and building the vehicles we know and love. In the most recent episode, Mose visits the Jeep Product Design office.

The Jeep Intern, Mose Hogan, takes a trip to better understand the goings on at the Chrysler Thermal Cells.

Chrysler Group LLC released images today of the new 2011 Jeep® Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited. Jeep continues to refine the successful Wrangler formula by combining its legendary, benchmark capability with an all-new interior that delivers rich styling with significantly upgraded touch surfaces, occupant comfort and versatility, and a premium appearance courtesy of an all-new body-color hard top for the popular Sahara model.

"The iconic Jeep Wrangler keeps getting better," said Mike Manley, President and CEO - Jeep Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. "While retaining unmatched, legendary capability, the 2011 Jeep... [Read More]

To thunderous applause, more than 1,500 UAW-represented employees at Chrysler Group LLC’s Jefferson North (Detroit) Assembly Plant (JNAP) welcomed President Obama to the home of the all-new 2011 Jeep® Grand Cherokee last Friday, 30 July.

The President visited the Chrysler plant a little more than a year after the Company emerged from bankruptcy to see a company that is on the road to recovery.

Since June 2009, Chrysler Group has reported an operating profit of $143 million (USD) for the first quarter of 2010; has added a second shift of production – or nearly 1,100 jobs – at JNAP; launched... [Read More]

The arrival of the USA 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee in dealer showrooms last month seems to have been a catalyst in getting shoppers in the front door. U.S. sales for Chrysler were up 5% last month, while Jeep sales increased 19% compared to July 2010.

Chrysler Group LLC today reported U.S. sales of 93,313, a 5 percent increase compared with sales in July 2009 (88,900 units). July represents the fourth consecutive month of year-over-year sales increases.

"The all-new 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee is drawing customers into... [Read More]

As the most iconic model from a certifiable American institution such as Jeep, it comes as little surprise that every new version of the venerable Wrangler (or CJ if you happen to remember Carter's presidency) causes pangs of distress from Jeep's loyal fanbase

Still, from the square headlights of the original Wrangler YJ to the coil springs of the Wrangler TJ and finally – and easily the most egregious of all in our eyes – the loss of the stalwart 4.0 HO inline-six in favor of the 3.8-liter V6 from a minivan in the latest JK, the Wrangler has continued to sell.

This news has nothing to do with Wrangler Production or future Wrangler changes. Its just a fun bit of news I found. Looks like there will be a new off road beast in Michael Bay's big budget Transformers 3.

You trade in two "racist" autobots and get a jacked up red jeep for TRANSFORMERS 3.

I'm sort of interested in how all this crazy is going to pan out. There's a new chick who looks semi-hot from certain angles, John Malkovich is thrown in the mix, and there's this really insane opening that they want to do inspired by Spielberg. This is just an average day for Michael Bay.

The man probably... [Read More]

Jeep® and Mopar claimed to be the first in the industry to sell off-road camper trailers, in July 2010 (with trailers available for ordering in August 2010).

Jeep Trail and Extreme Trail campers use Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 17-inch cast-aluminum wheels (with 5-lug by 5-inch bolt pattern to use most Jeeps’ spare tires), taillights, fender flares, rear bumper (Trail Edition camper only), badging and hood-tie downs. “Our trailers are specifically designed and engineered to meet strict capability requirements of Jeep,” said Pietro Gorlier, Mopar CEO.

The Jeep Trail... [Read More]

The Jeep “Grand Canyon II” is the most luxurious off-road vehicle built to date by the Mopar Underground Team. The objective for the team was to take a top-of-the-line 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland and ready it for serious off-road action.

To improve traction for rock crawling, a set of 285/70R17 tires were mounted on a set of Wrangler Rubicon wheels and fitted with a Superlift 4-inch suspension system.

Off-road protection was provided with an ARB high-clearance front bumper and Mopar heavy-duty rock rails.

The already well-appointed Jeep Grand Cherokee... [Read More]

The 2011 Jeep Wrangler (standard and Unlimited) can now be ordered from dealers in the United States (and possibly other nations). All Wranglers have a revised interior, with a new instrument panel, door trim, and rear cargo area surface. Jeep claims greater ease of use, ergonomics, and storage for the vehicle that has one Best 4×4 of the Decade (Four Wheeler).

New standard features for Sport models include steering wheel audio controls, cruise, and hill descent control.

The Sport S package now contains an AC outlet, automatic headlamps, and optional body-color hardtop.

There seems to be... [Read More]

Nearly two decades ago, Jeep® reinvented the premium sport-utility vehicle (SUV) segment with the introduction of the Jeep Grand Cherokee. More than 4 million sales later, Jeep improves the formula and provides the ideal balance between iconic 4x4 capability and on-road refinement with the all-new Grand Cherokee.

Launched last week in northern California, the all-new Grand Cherokee has already proved itself to be a critical hit. With vehicles arriving in markets worldwide throughout the second half of 2010, the Grand Cherokee is set to be a popular success as well. The all-new... [Read More]

The Mopar Immortal sports a Hemi V-8 and what look like 42-inch Goodyear MT/R tires among other mods. Basically the lift is provided by the Axletech Motorsports/Mopar portal boxes on the ends of the Dynatrac ProRock 44 front axle and AAM 3/4-ton rear axle. The portal boxes provide a 1.5:1 gear reduction and 4.9 inches of lift.

The Jeep is really wide and it's really tall, and it really doesn't have any uptravel to speak of. Because of all that clearance it would be fun in a boulder garden or a whomp in deep mud. Now what you might be wondering is why... [Read More]
