For answers to questions not covered here, as well as to find out what it would take for JeepWorks to build you your very own JKL, Call Eric at Four Eight Zero - 221 - 943 nine

Clean and clear title in hand. The ENTIRE build was completed 1.5 years ago so everything is practically BRAND NEW!! Literally only 5,000 miles on the build - motor, body, axles, suspension, seats...EVERYTHING!

No one can argue that Jeep hit a home run back in 2007 with the release of the current body style Jeep Wrangler JK. But fast forward 7 years since its release, and many Jeep enthusiasts who don't have a need for the 116" wheelbase of the Unlimited model, still wished that their 2-dr JK had a little more room for day to day use as well as more stability out on the trail. In fact, from 2004 -- 2006, Jeep did in fact manufacture a longer TJ model, called the LJ, which had a 10" extended wheelbase over the standard 93.4" TJ. When you added the Rubicon package to this new LJ, you created an off-the-shelf trail machine that soared in popularity and ultimately influenced the design of today's 4-dr Unlimited JK. We can't necessarily force Jeep to go back and give us a modern day version of the LJ, but we can learn from its success & trail worthiness.

Behold the JKL, an exclusive design from Jeep Works, formerly Kustom Koachworks out of Tempe Arizona, which answers the call for a stretched JK that's more trail nimble than the long Unlimited JK, but with more cargo room than a short 2-dr JK.

The secret to Jeep Works' JKL is a custom 10" wheelbase stretch that involves more than just the appearance of longer exterior body panels. In fact, using their 25+ years of automotive expertise, Jeep Works designed a solution that begins with lengthening the factory 2-dr JK frame in precisely the right spot, using OEM techniques and frame components. From there, they performed exterior and interior body panel modifications that seamlessly tied the stretched frame together with the revised Jeep tub. In the end, the result is a 2-dr JK with a 108" wheelbase.

If you're asking yourself, "I think I have seen this before?", then you're right! Jeep Works was the brains and muscle behind the popular orange "Stomper" Jeep build, which was a well deserved reward for a courageous man who used his 2-dr JK to help rescue victims of the 2013 Oklahoma Tornadoes. In fact, the inspiration for Stomper came from the original Jeep Works JKL design, called "Orange Krush". To add credibility to the worthiness of the stretched JKL concept, Poison Spyder Customs of California, used a Jeep works JKL kit to enhance the off-road abilities of their 2014 King of Hammers race Jeep, called "Crispy".


You can follow the JKL build photos of both Stomper and Crispy here - http://jklwrangler.com/author/jklwrangler/

If these two JKL builds inspired you to want to pursue having Jeep Works build you your own JKL, then wait no longer. In fact, don't wait at all! The original Orange Krush JKL is now available for immediate sale and delivery.

Doetsch Off-Road is the exclusive marketer of the Orange Krush JKL Jeep; with its fire breathing 425hp HEMI equipped motor, Rock Krawler long-arm suspension system with remote reservoir coil-overs, Poison Spyder Custom hi-clearance bumpers and River Raider steel body armor. But it doesn't stop there, with over $110,000 invested; Orange Krush is THE Jeep to help you crawl over the competition without skipping a beat.

Orange Krush has been featured in several popular publications such as Peterson's 4Wheel & Off-Road, as well as at major events like Easter Jeep Safari, the King of Hammers and Off-Road Expo. It has been used as a promotional display vehicle for Rock Krawler Suspensions, Magnaflow Exhaust and of course, Jeep Works. It has always been transported with care and was kept indoors while in storage. Remember, there is over $110,000 invested in this build and all parts and accessories were chosen with a purpose.

Please don't be fooled by other "high end" builds that showcase fancy specs that use great brands, but entry level options.

Orange Krush isn't just a show queen that will win you 1st place show awards; it is also a highly capable Jeep Rubicon that will tackle any trail you point it at!

Please read through the entire description to see the many details that went into this build and why when you compare it to similarly priced Jeeps, there really is no comparison on the depth of options or quality of components.

Before its enhancements from Jeep Works, Orange Krush started life as a damage-free, well-equipped 2-dr JK Rubicon. Today, with only 5,000 miles on the entire build (including the 5.7L HEMI motor), you cannot replicate the build quality or level of detail for the price we are asking.


Besides the feature rich Rubicon package, Orange Krush features a select number of additional factory options to ensure you would drive in comfort with modern styling. This included:
- Automatic Transmission
- Air Conditioning
-Beefy next generation Dana 44 axles front AND rear (further enhanced as described below)
-Command-Trac 4WD System splits torque 50/50 to the front and rear axles for off-roading conditions where more traction is required. The main case joint is clamped by 18 bolts for added structural stiffness
-Roc-Trac 4WD System with 4:1 low gear ratio and crawl speeds
-Tru-Lok electronic locking differentials front AND rear allows you to engage one or both axles with a simple push of a button on the dash -- no climbing out to engage manual hubs
-Rubicon Electronic front sway-bar disconnect system allows you to engage or disengage the front sway-bar by simply pushing a button on the dash, so no pins to pull and put back
-Mopar OEM half-doors with soft upper windows
Now for the aftermarket options which total nearly $86,000 including the time & labor to install them!! A full build list which includes part numbers is available to interested buyers.

CUSTOM PAINT, BEDLINER & SOFT TOP OPTIONS: CARIZMA SERIES PAINT, BESTOP FLEXIBILITY

-One of the most stand out features of Orange Krush, besides the obvious stretched wheelbase, is its BASF Carizma series paint, called Intense Orange. This isn't just a simple paint job, it was a complete color change. Every body panel on the entire Jeep was meticulously removed and painted to ensure the color looked like it was applied at the factory, only better. This included the entire tub, inside the body panels, the roll cage, under the carpet (even under the spray in bedliner), fender wells -- you name it!


-Even though Orange Krush is 10" longer than any of its siblings, you wouldn't be able to tell that the custom soft top wasn't produced as a factory option. Starting with a Bestop Trextop NX which features a bowless design, the entire 2-dr soft top was professionally lengthened in order to ensure the Jeep maintained a climate controlled interior. But it didn't stop there since its inevitable for the top to be removed in order to enjoy the weather -- a Bestop bikini top, rear cargo duster cover and wrap around windjammer were also customized so that there is complete flexibility after you remove the top and take off for the trail.


-Will you forget to replace the soft top during a rainstorm or will the interior of Orange Krush get dirty from everyday use? YES! But we thought of that. The entire rear cargo section of the interior body tub has been sprayed in a durable black Inyati spray-in-bedliner finish. Just imply hose the Jeep out without worry of moldy carpet or the chance of rust.


PERFORMANCE UPGRADES: HEMI ENGINE, COLD AIR INTAKE, STAINLESS EXHAUST, VENTED HOOD & HD BATTERY

-Full HEMI motor swap! This included a 425 horsepower 5.7L HEMI Engine and 545RFE Automatic transmission that barely had 6 miles on them before being transplanted into Orange Krush. The entire motor swap was performed by V8HJ, which is famous for their quality engine conversions and performance tunes. The motor also features a high torq cam and push rods, as well as stainless steel ceramic coated (to help dissipate heat) long tube headers.


-To help the HEMI breath to its full potential, a custom cold air intake with cleanable filter was custom installed. A smoked lexan maintenance panel ensures the intake looks as good as it functions, while helping you keep the filter clean and accessible.


-The exhaust wasn't left alone either and features a custom 3" stainless pipe (will never rust!) from the headers back, ending with a hi-performance Magnaflow muffler. The sound is unbelievable and absolutely ensures the HEMI makes its presence known without being obnoxious.


-Diablo Sport hand held programmer, used to recalibrate the speedometer from the engine, gear ratio and tire size changes, can also be used to perform other functions. Easily stores in the center console or glove box so you can make changes on the go.

-AEV Heat Reduction Vented Hood. The best Jeep JK aftermarket hood option has 2 large steel mesh covered vents at the front sides of the hood where engine heat builds up, as well as a large center vent, allowing additional heat to escape and keep your engine cool. The hood is held down to the body thanks to a pair of Drake Off-Road billet hood hold downs which are fully adjustable and kill any chance of the notorious JK hood flutter.


-Optima Red Top 8002 Heavy Duty Maintenance Free Battery that has a typical 6-8 year service life.
DRIVETRAIN UPGRADES: GEARS, DRIVESHAFTS & DRIVETRAIN UPGRADES


-Yukon 5.13 ratio gears front AND rear which restore the Jeep's power after the larger tires were installed

-RCV CV Style front Axle Shafts eliminate binding and the weak u-joints found on factory axle shafts


-Superior 32 spline rear axle shafts also help resist breakage and ensure you get back off the trail and home safely

-Tom Woods 1310 custom front AND rear driveshafts that were made to the exact specs of Orange Krush. No worries of drive shafts that are too short or that will bind when off-road

-Reid Racing high steer knuckles raises the steering linkage and increases the strength of the steering system, while keeping it out of harm's way on the trail

-Solid brand front AND rear Heavy Duty 3/8" differential covers to allow you to glide over rocks and other obstacles without worry that the factory 1/4 " diff covers will puncture


-TeraFlex axle housing sleeves and C-gussets help resist the axle from bending under load


SUSPENSION LIFT UPGRADES: COMPLETE LONG ARM SUSPENSION SYSTEM & REMOTE RESEVOIR COIL OVER SHOCKS

-First of all this is not a simple bolt-on "lift kit", it is a complete all inclusive Suspension System. There is a reason it takes an invested amout of labor to install it! But once installed, you can literally set it and forget it. The heart is a Rock Krawler 3.5" X Factor Long Arm Suspension System that features a rear axle 3" stretch. Don't settle for a short or mid-arm kit that may only replace the springs or that use fixed length control arms which cannot be adjusted. The Rock Krawler system is ALL INCLUSIVE with its steering geometry engineered to provide you with stock on-highway handling characteristics, as well as a revolutionary 3-link conversion front and rear for high articulation while maintaining precise control. Additional upgraded suspension components include a double adjustable front and rear track bar made from 1.5" solid alloy steel, high clearance adjustable control arms made from 2" solid alloy steel, a welded on rear axle cradle, long travel stainless brake lines and a heavy duty drag link assembly.


-Further suspension upgrades include Synergy HD ball joints, front track bar brace, chromolly tie rod and a Rubicon sway bar motor relocation kit. A Currie rear coil spring retainer kit also helps keep the suspension where it needs to be, under the Jeep.

-Rock Krawler 2.625 Remote Reservoir Coil Over Shocks in the front and 2.0 Remote Reservoir Shocks in the rear ensure that Orange Krush glides over obstacles with ease, while still providing a better than factory on-road ride.


-PSC Motorsports Hydro Assist Steering helps keep the 37" tires grounded and able to turn over the best obstacles.


TIRE AND WHEEL UPGRADE: KEVLAR TIRES, BEADLOCK WHEELS AND ON-BOARD AIR

-Five (matching spare) Goodyear Wrangler MTR tires in 37x12.50R17 ensure you will be able to climb over any obstacles that you point Orange Krush at.


-There's also five 17" Raceline Monster 233 beadlock wheels with Powertank Monster valves at each corner, making sure the process of airing up/down for the trail is effortless and that the tire won't unseat from the wheel (thanks to the beadlocks) if you decide to lower the pressure to single digits.


-A 10lb Powertank, custom matched to the Intense Orange paint, is standing by and custom mounted in billet clamps and brackets behind the passenger seat so that you can fill the tires back up after a long day rock crawling or to fire up power tools while out on the trail.


LIGHTING UPGRADES: LED LIGHTING PACKAGE INCLUDING A 50" LIGHT BAR & TAILLIGHTS

-NO birds nest of wires under Orange Krush's hood! All of the wiring is professionally routed and loomed to resist overheating or abrasion.

-There's a Baja Designs 50" LED Stealth Bar mounted on the upper windshield, which provides over 17,500 Lumens. You simply turn it on with a labeled OTRATTW switch on the upper dash.


-Frenched into the custom River Raider steel corner panels is a pair of smoked ORO LED LiteDots which function as hi-powered LED taillights and reverse lights.


BUMPER UPGRADES: COMPLETE AFTERMARKET BUMPER PACKAGE FROM POISON SPYDER

-A grille width Poison Spyder Customs Brawler Lite front bumper with Brawler Bar is formed from 3/16" plate steel, CNC laser cut and precision brake-formed into a low profile, high clearance design. It won't hinder tire clearance or access to vertical obstacles.


-Just like the narrow width front bumper, the Poison Spyder BFH Rear Bumper is optimized for the best departure angle possible. Also made form 3/16" plate steel, it has custom d-ring mounts welded in, as well as a custom 2" receive hitch that was formed high and tight.


-A front mounted 15,000lb capacity Mile Marker SEC 15 winch with wireless controller, synthetic cable and a Poison Spyder aluminum Hawse fairlead, round out the bumper package and ensure recovery is quick and effortless.


PROTECTION UPGRADES: ROLL CAGE TIED INTO THE FRAME, STEEL BODY PROTECTION, FENDER FLARES & SKIDS

-This isn't a dainty bolt-in sport cage that we are dealing with folks. Orange Krush's custom roll cage, with integrated handles to assist you in getting in or out from either the driver or passenger side, is completely tied into the frame at the front & rear of the Jeep. It offers full roll-over protection and was hand built by the talented LetzRoll Offroad shop. To finish it off, the entire cage was color matched to the exterior Intense Orange paint.


-The side armor began with River Raider's rear crusher corners and rocker armor, but because Orange Krush is a custom JKL, everything was professionally lengthened to fit its dimensions. Instead of unsightly gaps in the body panels, custom filler plates were welded to the side armor within the fender wells, so that dirt and muck wouldn't find its way to a new home.


-A set of steel front and rear narrow width River Raider fender flares offer additional body protection, with the rear flares being beautifully welded to the rear steel corners so that there's no gaps for tree branches or beach sand to infiltrate.


-A pair of Poison Spyder Customs DIY Rico rocker steps pull double duty in aiding entry and exit, while offering even more crucial rocker protection. They too ware welded to the River Raider steel rocker armor.


-Off-Road Evolution EVO front control arm skid plates and rear Rockstar skids ensure the control arm and shock mounts aren't damaged during weekend rock crawling.


MISCELANOUS UPGRADES: CUSTOM BUCKET SEATING, BILLET ACCESSORIES AND AN ALUMNIMUM HI-LIFT

-A pair of Corbeau Baja XRS seats makes sure the driver and passenger ride in comfort, while showing off the color matched orange seat inserts. A full Crow seat belt harness also makes sure the off-road ride is safe; otherwise the OEM seat belts are still intact and fully functional for comfortable everyday street use.


-A complete Drake Off-Road billet accessory package improves the touch and feel of the automatic shifter handle, 4WD selector knob and e-brake handle.


-A Baja Off Road Products billet Hi-Lift jack features a weight-saving all aluminum construction, as well as a hinged base which helps it conform to the weirdest of terrain. All of which is custom mounted in un-used space on the driver's side of the rear inside body tub.


STEREO & NAVIGATION: GPS, CB, MARINE GRADE HEADUNIT AND SUBWOOFERS

-There's a Lowrance Baja Elite 5-HD Off-Road GPS (chartplotter) custom mounted in the dash where the factory head unit used to take up real estate. So getting lost is no longer an option.


-A Sony Marine grade head unit is custom mounted from harm's way, inside the center console. It performs the expected functions like CD/MP3 and also includes a Sony Marine remote control which is mounted in a cupholder within the center console, so that you can control your tunes without taking your eyes off the trail. A custom switch also allows the stereo to be powered up without turning the ignition key on.


-Since enough is never enough, a JL Audio 700 Watt marine grade amplifier is mounted nice and dry under the driver's seat and powers two pairs of Polk Audio 5.25" speakers in the dash and overhead soundbar, as well as a pair of Polk Audio 6x9 speakers custom mounted in the rear cargo area. Since bass should be seen and not heard, a pair of Pioneer 8" shallow depth subwoofers have been enclosed in a custom box where the rear cargo box once was. A smoked plexiglass lid shows off their beauty while keeping them protected.

-The Cobra 75 WX ST CB radio is one of the best in the industry and of course a fine specimen can be found mounted to the dash of Orange Krush. There's a custom CB antenna mount on the passenger side of the rear roll cage which features a quick release connector, as well as a provision for a lighted whip on the driver's side.

Vile Gossip | Adventures in tire testing

Fri, Oct 13 2017

Jean Jennings has been writing about cars for more than 30 years, after stints as a taxicab driver and as a mechanic in the Chrysler Proving Grounds Impact Lab. She was a staff writer at Car and Driver magazine, the first executive editor and former president and editor-in-chief of Automobile Magazine , the founder of the blog Jean Knows Cars and former automotive correspondent for Good Morning America . She has lifetime awards from both the Motor Press Guild and the New England Motor Press Association. This is her first column for Autoblog — look for more Vile Gossip in the future. I began writing at Car and Driver magazine back in its golden age in the 1970s, before I'd actually read it. I knew very little about cars. The only magazine I read religiously was Four Wheeler because I owned big trucks and liked to go off-roading with my Chrysler Proving Grounds friends. My vast 10 years of driving experience up to that point (high-speed dirt-road idiot, taxicab driver, Chrysler Proving Grounds test driver) had less bearing on my being hired at Car and Driver than the fact that the editor just wanted to rile up the all-male staff. He didn't need me for that. They were already in full dudgeon when I arrived. They'd just spent a chunk of time testing a stack of tires for their big tire-test issue, and the editor-in-chief was toe-to-toe with the technical editor over the rankings of the top 10 tires. It was loud, and it was angry. I had no idea that car magazines tested tires. Cab driving had led me to believe that airing up a tire and changing a flat was all you needed to know. I changed so many flats on that cab, I eventually wound up in front of a live audience on the " Oprah Winfrey Show" demonstrating my brilliance with a jack and a tire iron. My point, of course, is that tires are more controversial, and also more essential, than you'd think. My other point is that it's good to get worked up about the subject, but not quite so good to let yourself be seen, as I did, on my hands and knees with my ass up in the air on national TV. This is how I prefer to test a tire: First, pick a top brand. Then accept their invitation to try and beat the crap out of their tire. I chose Yokohama, celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. The big news for them was the GEOLANDER M/T G003!

Bring back the Bronco! Trademarks we hope are actually (someday) future car names

Tue, Mar 17 2015

Trademark filings are the tea leaves of the auto industry. Read them carefully – and interpret them correctly – and you might be previewing an automaker's future product plans. Yes, they're routinely filed to maintain the rights to an iconic name. And sometimes they're only for toys and clothing. But not always. Sometimes, the truth is right in front of us. The trademark is required because a company actually wants to use the name on a new car. With that in mind, here's a list of intriguing trademark filings we want to see go from paperwork to production reality. Trademark: Bronco Company: Ford Previous Use: The Bronco was a long-running SUV that lived from 1966-1996. It's one of America's original SUVs and was responsible for the increased popularity of the segment. Still, it's best known as O.J. Simpson's would-be getaway car. We think: The Bronco was an icon. Everyone seems to want a Wrangler-fighter – Ford used to have a good one. Enough time has passed that the O.J. police chase isn't the immediate image conjured by the Bronco anymore. Even if we're doing a wish list in no particular order, the Bronco still finds its way to the top. For now (unfortunately), it's just federal paperwork. Rumors on this one can get especially heated. The official word from a Ford spokesman is: "Companies renew trademark filings to maintain ownership and control of the mark, even if it is not currently used. Ford values the iconic Bronco name and history." Trademarks: Aviator, AV8R Company: Ford Previous Use: The Aviator was one of the shortest-run Lincolns ever, lasting for the 2003-2005 model years. It never found the sales success of the Ford Explorer, with which it shared a platform. We Think: The Aviator name no longer fits with Lincoln's naming nomenclature. Too bad, it's better than any other name Lincoln currently uses, save for its former big brother, the Navigator. Perhaps we're barking up the wrong tree, though. Ford has made several customized, aviation themed-Mustangs in the past, including one called the Mustang AV8R in 2008, which had cues from the US Air Force's F-22 Raptor fighter jet. It sold for $500,000 at auction, and the glass roof – which is reminiscent of a fighter jet cockpit – helped Ford popularize the feature. Trademark: EcoBeast Company: Ford Previous Use: None by major carmakers.

Sergio rethinks FCA-GM merger idea, dismisses critics

Sat, Dec 5 2015

After many public overtures, Fiat Chrysler Automotive CEO Sergio Marchionne has claimed his company won't be making a hostile takeover bid for General Motors. This is despite widespread speculation that FCA's desire to merge was motivated by its allegedly dire situation. As one unnamed GM exec who spoke to Automotive News earlier this year put it, "Why should [GM] bail out FCA?" "We are not choking. We are in relatively decent shape," Marchionne told journalists attending an FCA shareholder meeting in Amsterdam, AN reports. "We have been publicly rebuffed, we have been rejected and you cannot force these things. I don't want to. At the moment, we have no intention to do anything hostile." Instead of focusing on merging with GM, or any other partners for that matter, FCA will refocus on implementing its ambitious five-year investment plan, which would see it dump $52 billion into its various brands, with a particular focus on Alfa Romeo, Maserati, and Jeep. So far the attempt has largely been unsuccessful, especially as it relates to the Italian brands. Earlier this week, additional reports emerged that claimed Alfa was pushing back the Giulia and an unnamed CUV while reassigning resources to updated versions of the Giulietta and MiTo hatchbacks. This is not the first time we've heard about trouble for the Giulia, of course. For Masearti, though, it was the first we'd heard of delays for Alfieri sports car, which allegedly won't appear in 2016, as promised. We can expect a proper breakdown of FCA's adjusted plans when Marchionne and Company reveal an updated product slate next month.
