If there's one vehicle that has managed to persevere through Chrysler's ups and downs as of late, it's the Jeep Wrangler. This trusty off-roader is still the SUV of choice for enthusiasts who actually need true four-by-four capability, and its iconic design is still very well liked. However, the Wrangler is facing some troubles of its own, as many dealers are now reporting a shortage of hardtop models.


According to Automotive News, parent company Chrysler is stating that a "supplier constraint" is what's causing this overall shortage. Meridian Automotive Systems Inc., the company... [Read More]

Wow - this could be something very exciting! According to the Toledo Blade, there are talks to build an off-road park on the site of the now-demolished Toledo Assembly plant: In January, The Blade delivered an idea that has occurred to a number of Toledoans and to Chrysler's Jeep brand president, Michael Manley.


The idea was to mark the Wrangler milestone by building a four-wheel-drive "playground" on the now-vacant 70-acre site of Chrysler's former Toledo Jeep Assembly Plant on Jeep Parkway in West Toledo.

The site, adjacent to I-75, still boasts the smokestack from... [Read More]

Will the soft-top Wrangler get killed off in California when the new '12-model-year reflective-window regulations go into effect? (The law is being enacted to keep the interior cool and reduce A/C use. It's a global-warming thing, if you're a believer.)

Sources are saying No. Chrysler panicked and pleaded with the California Air Resources Board to exclude the Wrangler because what was being required wouldn't work on flexible plastic windows. CARB agreed.

The 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee is creeping back into the news at a steady rate, meaning that Team Pentastar must be fairly close to releasing its first all-new product in some time. Just yesterday, we received what appears to be an early peek into Grand Cherokee pricing, and now we have access to a cornucopia of pics of a pair of Jeep's finest traversing the fabled Rubicon Trail.



According to the Jeep Jamboree Facebook page, the 2011 Grand Cherokees were being driven by a group of Jeep engineers testing the vehicle before they go on sale later this year. Since the Grand... [Read More]

When we first saw pictures of this yellow XJ a couple of years ago, we went gaga over it. It is an awesome looking Jeep, but it wasn't until we saw it in person and had the chance to crawl around it that we knew we needed to show it to all our faithful readers.


One of the big issues with all the unitbody Jeeps is that you can't fit decent-sized tires without lifting them sky-high or hacking out the wheelwells. The problem is the day you start cutting is the day the Jeep just starts looking like crap.... [Read More]

Four Wheeler magazine editors have named the Jeep® Wrangler Rubicon and Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon the Best 4x4 Vehicle of the Decade, while calling out the four-door Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon as the decade's most significant 4x4 vehicle.


"Jeep vehicles have earned many awards in the almost 70-year history of the iconic brand, but few have been as prestigious as these accolades from the editors at Four Wheeler magazine," said Mike Manley, President and CEO - Jeep Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. "Jeep Wrangler Rubicon is clearly the most capable production... [Read More]

Jeep Action are gearing up over the next couple of months for our annual Camp Coffs event. Now established as Australia’s largest annual Jeep gathering, Camp Coffs is held every Easter, this year being the 2-5 April 2010.


Following on from last year where a generous Jeep Action subscriber donated $1000 to help a needy Jeeper attend Camp Coffs, this year the Coffs Coast Jeepers Club will be donating $1000 to the same cause. Details for nominating a Jeeper are on page 56.

A first for Camp Coffs this year will be a DVD of the event for purchase. The DVD will be produced by The OffRoad Show. Watto has a lot of... [Read More]

If your Jeep Cherokee has been sitting around for a while, it probably makes a few noises. You might not mind, though, if they were noises as well orchestrated as those in the video shown above.


British saxophonist Julian Smith spent a few hours with a Cherokee and an array of friends with rhythm and came up with a number that could be straight out of Stomp.

The Jeep Cherokee (XJ) is a unibody (monocoque) compact SUV. It shared the name of the original full-size SJ model, but without a body-on-frame chassis, it actually set the stage for the modern SUV. Its... [Read More]

In anticipation of the 2010 North American International Auto Show, Chrysler has announced a couple of new variants for their Jeep lineup to go along with the recently announced Wrangler Islander. There's not a whole lot of "new" in either model, rather they both seem to be just rebranded combinations of options along with some unique styling (and stickers!)


The new 2010 Jeep Liberty Renegade boasts a new premium, rugged appearance with standard class-leading capability features, while the Jeep Wrangler lineup is expanded with unique limited-edition models – Jeep Wrangler Islander and Jeep Wrangler... [Read More]
