2000 Jeep Wrangler TJ Rock Crawler. Better than Rubicon. Over $30k of parts alone put into this Jeep.
Okay, it's hard to describe all that's been put into this Jeep. There's easily over $30k worth of extras that have been added along the way. It's BUILT to be incredibly solid on 35" tires so that it's extremely capable yet isn't going to be breaking things left and right. This Jeep has done the Rubicon, Fordyce Creek, Most all the tough trails in Moab, Rimrock, Tillamook State Forest (brown's camp) including Crushers. I bought the Jeep with 50k miles on it and it in 2007 and it's got just a bit over 100k miles on it now. Obviously extreme Jeeps used to be one of my biggest hobbies. However, I'm at a point where I only use it a couple times a year. I'm at a stage in my life where I'm ready to move on from my extreme wheeling addiction.
My Jeep has been pretty amazing for me. I've done a lot to clean up any issues from the previous owner and build it up even better. There are a couple little things that I haven't dealt with yet: There is a leak between the transmission and the Atlas 2 transfer case. it drips on the garage floor and before I go on a wheeling adventure I have to top off the fluid. The seal isn't that much but I haven't had the motivation to drop the transfer case to swap in a new seal. The KC lights aren't working right now. It's a fuse, relay or loose connection. Again, not a big deal. The windshield is cracked. It's a jeep, and those flat windshields are magnets for rock chips and cracks. The Jeep has always passed emissions with flying colors once I figured out an issue that ultimately led me to replace the ECU. There are some dings and even a couple small dents from wheeling the jeep. I can tell you exactly what happened in each case. Cosmetically, the Jeep still is pretty amazing and despite some minor trail scars, it's a full on head turner and gets compliments left and right. This jeep is built to tackle almost any trail that you have the skill and balls to do. There's little that I haven't been able to concur and it's built to excessive convenience and capability. I've driven it the 1,000 miles to Moab with my son watching videos the whole way and then wheeled it on all the amazing trails down there with the A/C keeping us cool. I recently did a custom "snow camo" vinyl to it. Basically, I just bought a roll of black and a roll of white vinyl and cut out pieces and applied it. I have gotten tons of compliments on it. But if it's not your thing, it's vinyl and would come right off.

Jeep Twitter account hacked, bad language, poor grammar and some hilarity ensue
Tue, 19 Feb 2013Just a day after Burger King's Twitter account was compromised by "unauthorized users," Jeep's social media feed has been similarly hacked. Both instances of digital incursion share some similarities - the BK hackers changed the company's logo for McDonald's familiar golden arches, saying a sale had occurred, while the Jeep miscreants have replaced Jeep's branding with that of General Motors property Cadillac.
The resulting tweets from the damaged Jeep account have been a pretty brutal, to put it bluntly. Most of the content coming from the hacked account is unpublishable here, using language that is peppered with racial epithets, and poorly worded "shout outs."
In addition to the defamatory tweets themselves, the hackers have significantly altered the layout of the page. Jeep's header image now features a picture of the Cadillac ATS to go along with the Wreath and Crest, some language calling out that car as winning the 2013 North American Car of the Year award, and this gem: "The official Twitter handle for the Jeep(R) - Just Empty Every Pocket, Sold To Cadillac =[" Also, perhaps in an ode to yesterday's Burger King heist, the background image for the page now features a McDonald's-themed donk. The devil's in the details, we guess.
Chrysler Recalls 350K Vehicles To Fix Ignition Switches
Thu, Sep 25 2014Chrysler is recalling nearly 350,000 cars and SUVs to fix ignition switches that could unexpectedly shut off the engines. The recall covers 2008 Jeep Commander and Grand Cherokee SUVs, Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger sedans, and Dodge Magnum wagons. All were built before May 12, 2008. Chrysler says the ignitions may not fully return to the "on" position after being started. The switches could move to "accessory" or "off." That could shut off the engine and knock out power-assisted steering and other features. Chrysler knows of one crash and no injuries from the problem. It's telling people to use the key alone in the ignition and confirm that switches have returned to "on" after starting their cars. Chrysler is investigating the cause. Customers will be notified when repairs are ready. Related Gallery The Trucks And SUVs Consumers Are Liking Most View 11 Photos
2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel and SRT climb onto stage
Mon, 14 Jan 2013This is indeed a case of not knowing how much we wanted something until it arrived. We've been big fans of the Jeep Grand Cherokee ever since the new model arrived a couple of years ago, and while the update you see here might seem just a slight refresh, it's actually much more than that.
For starters, the 2014 Grand Cherokee marks the return of a diesel model here in the States, with Chrysler's new 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 under the hood, churning out 240 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Of course, all of the Grand Cherokee's usual off-road goodies are on hand, with moderate tweaks to make it an even more capable vehicle when the going gets rough. Both the gasoline-fed 3.6-liter V6 and 5.7-liter V8 get the new eight-speed auto, as well.
The high-performance Grand Cherokee SRT also trudges on into the new model year, with very subtle tweaks found underneath the aggressive, slightly redesigned sheetmetal. The 6.4-liter Hemi V8 also gets eight-speed gearing, which Chrysler says will improve not only 0-60 times, but mid-range performance as well. Bring it on, we say.
