Jeep is a division of Chrysler, since 1987, and was first founded in 1941. Its headquarters is located in Toledo, Ohio. Jeep is the longest running off-road Sport Utility Vehicle manufacturing company in the world with Land Rover close behind. Jeep’s Bantam BRC became the official vehicle of the United States military for World War II along with the allied forces. The Bantam BRC was a 4 wheel drive light vehicle and also used by the military following World War II. This vehicle was produced in Butler, Pennsylvania. Jeep didn’t stop there in producing vehicles for the United States military. In 1965 Jeep manufactured the M715 army truck for exclusive use in the Vietnam War. It weighed in at 1.25 tons.

As evidenced in World War II and Vietnam, the Jeep was designed for off-road purposes as well as civilian purposes on the highways. Most Jeep models can be equipped with roll bars, a winch and extra lights. The winch is to help pull the vehicle out of the mud or a hole if it gets stuck during an off-road adventure.

There are two events that promote Jeep and allow Jeep owners to showoff their vehicles. The first is the Jeep Jamboree. Jeep owners bring their family and friends to see other Jeeps on display, off-road competitions and trail exploration. No spectators are allowed at these events, only the registered owners and their guests. There are an estimated 30 Jamboree events scheduled for the 2008 year. The second event is called Camp Jeep. This is a three-day event that includes multiple activities such as kayaking, fishing, mountain biking/climbing, tubing and arts and crafts. Top bands from around the country are also invited to play at this fair. There are man-made courses for Jeeps to peruse as well as scenic trails. There are Jeep 101 courses offered for first-time drivers but there is no camping at Camp Jeep. Everyone stays at a hotel or another camp ground.

Presently, Jeep only produces six models. They are the Jeep Wrangler, the Jeep grand cherokee, the Jeep Liberty, the Jeep Commander, the Jeep Compass and the Jeep Patriot. The Grand cherokee and the Liberty are family sized vehicles with the Commander able to seat seven passengers. The rest of the models are small Sport Utility Vehicles being able to seat two to four passengers.

Jeep has designed different concept vehicles since 1958 when they released the DJ-3A Pickup. The decade of the 1960s was the only decade that Jeep did not release a concept vehicle. Jeep produced four concept vehicles in the 1970s, three in the 1980s, 12 in the 1990s and 17 in the 2000s. One interesting tidbit about Jeep that not that many people know about is that Jeep also produced a special vehicle in the year 1936. That special vehicle produced by Jeep is known as the Oscar-Mayer Wienermobile. The Oscar-Mayer Wienermobile is the most recognizable vehicles on the road today and in commercials today. It has been used as the main advertisement for Oscar-Mayer since it was manufactured in 1936.

Roarin’ new engine and a lower price – what more could a guy want in a flashy new SUV? I can name a few things, but the 2011 Jeep grand cherokee has them all and then some! Jeep Portage dealers are raving about the all-new Grand cherokee and I can’t wait to take it for a drive! Positive changes abound and with its new 3.6-liter V-6 engine delivering 23 mpg, new Quadra-Lift Air Suspension and Selec-Terrain there are better levels of control. The exterior has been sculpted to be sleeker and the interior has four more inches of leg room, a big deal for a weekend with the guys.

Portage 2011 Jeep grand cherokee customers will also appreciate the new independent front and rear suspensions and added safety and security features as well as top-of-the-line technology. The Jeep Grand cherokee is in showrooms now and is priced at $32,995, $465 less than the outgoing model. The Laredo 4×2 model will start at $30,995.

The new body structure and suspension systems work together to reduce vibration and noise and provide a smoother ride. A duel-pane panoramic sunroof known as CommandView reaches from windshield to the rear of the SUV and will be perfect for enhancing weekend getaways or just letting in the sun on the way to the beach. With 17 percent more cargo room, the new grand cherokee will also hold all the gear we need to stuff in for the trip.

Fuel economy is up 11 percent from the previous model with one tank of gas getting you 500 miles down the road. Now, for those who say an SUV, especially a tricked-out model with a big price tag is not practical, they need to look at the numbers for the 2011 Jeep Grand cherokee and recalculate. Jeep Portage buyers will also be impressed with the added security and safety features which include full-length side-curtain and seat-mounted air bags, Active Head Restraints, Hill-start Assist., Trailer-sway control, Electronic Stability Control, Electronic Roll Mitigation, Adaptive Cruise Control with Forward Collision Warning and a blind-spot/rear cross-path detection system.

There is no doubt that Jeep wants its customers to have an extreme experience. Having said that, it should come as no surprise that Jeep grand cherokee has received more than a scintilla of attention from both automotive retailers and general magazines and websites on the subject. The site gives the same vehicle a “4×4 of the Year” and other awards. It performs well on highways as well as on rugged roads. It is also a mid-size vehicle with powerful engines.

The Grand Jeep cherokee was unveiled in 1983. Compared to other traditional SUVs, the Jeep Grand Cherokees looks like other cars. The compact size has been maintained since 2005. However, more features have been added since 2007. In 2007 new diesel engine options were added. Beginning in 2001, the Cherokee had a V8 five-speed automatic engine. In 2002, Jeep introduced three additional trim levels i. E.; Special edition, Sports, Overland, a 265 HP V8 and more features. The V8 engine was the better choice as it provided more power without much sacrifice in fuel economy compared to the six-cylinder.

Since this is a vehicle made by human beings it had some problems, like the 2005 model. The problems were door glass sticking, moaning, poor tracking, and acute radio signals. But the entire problem was resolved soon after launch. The cherokee paved the way for later models. Jeep was experimenting and developing a brand new car which would change the face of the industry. The Cherokee provided this opportunity. Later models like the Jeep Commander were much more stable and reliable.

The engine choices range from mild to wild, with the HEMI engine topping the charts at 320 Horsepower. It only costs a couple of miles per gallon over the 3. 7 liter V6 and 4. 7 liter V8 engines, but has better responses. In 2007, the cherokee 2007 came with a diesel engine option for customers, giving it quite a new level of speed, and improved mileage. The active suspension and fast-acting automatic four-wheel-drive is very helpful in negotiating hemi-spherical corners, where a lot of experience is needed. The Cherokee performed well on this front. Hemispheric corners cause considerable skidding and swing-out tails. Even without electronic doodads, the grand cherokee negotiated corners very well.

Various models would come into existence over time. As from 2007, later models were much improved. Like the ZJ series (1993-1998) – the Base model had a complete set of instruments, a cloth interior and par-for-the-course 5-speed manual transmission. The later WJ models (1999-2004) saw their spare tyres relocated from the side of the cargo compartment to underneath the floor. The WK models of 2004-2010 have 4-wheel drive and rear-seat DVD player as standard features.

Grand Jeep Cherokee was built in 1983. It’s a luxury car, which has been upgraded gradually as per the customer requirements. However the Jeep standard Jeep features are available as well.

The 2009 Jeep grand cherokee has more power features, as compared to its earlier models in terms of rear wheel drive, engine capacity, and fuel efficiency. The navigation and mobile satellite television features are optional. To improve safety, more features were added. These include antiskid, traction control, and curtain side airbags. The superb suspension is available in all models.

Jeep plans to release an advanced Grand Jeep Cherokee in 2011. The Cherokee has been superseded by the Jeep Commander. If the future model is to be anything classic, it should be better than the Commander. Jeep is happy with its current model. Already; new features have been added to the current model. The new model will come in many colours and features. The price is also reasonable. The price ranges from $30, 500. 00 to $45, 000. 00 and production will start in January, 2010. So, keep an eye if you are a Jeep fan

HOW TO USE soft top ON A 4 DOOR JEEP Wrangler

Stock 360, stock exhaust.

The Chrysler Corporation-produced Jeep is a must-have especially for off-road adventures. The inconsistent terrains and uneven roads coupled with various rocks, fallen branches, and challenging grime would definitely make the Jeep work twice as hard. This calls for doubled effort on the part of automotive systems such as the suspension and the engine. The Jeep wheels, however, are the auto parts that experience first-hand how cruel the road could be.

Since World War I, Jeeps have continuously evolved into one of the modern vehicles that the automobile market offers. Vintage Jeeps were intended for the hard and dirty tasks on the road, so Jeep wheels and other auto parts were almost always in need of cleaning. These rugged looking vehicles did not even have the air of luxury in them.

But change is inevitable even for the Jeep. So many things have taken shape for the fate of modern-day Jeeps. They have become more sleek and luxurious in both exterior and interior parts. Amidst all the high-technology devices and other upgrades installed in today’s Jeep, the improved Jeep wheels can be considered as one of the vital developments of this brand. Displaying greater toughness and more durability, the new Jeep wheels are guaranteed to endure all the challenges of even the roughest and most rigid terrains.

The most common make of wheels can be easily purchased in the market. Jeep owners can choose from the basic aluminum wheels or steel wheels which vary in sizes. More stylish wheels like the chromed alloy wheels are also available, but with a higher price tag. Choosing Jeep wheels, however, all depends on the needs and demands of the vehicle. Most importantly, the wheels should be able to fit in the Jeep properly. Getting the right diameter and width of the wheels needed by the Jeep is the first step for owners. The look, on the other hand, can follow afterwards. After all, usability of the wheels should be the top priority.
