The tailgate hinge and tire carrier if by Teraflex also. The Jeep has many Rigid industries LED lights, including
dually D2 and a SR 50" it windshield mount. the diff lockers and led lights are controlled by an SPod controller.
The headlights and foglights are JW Speaker, they are LED as well. The taillights are clear smoked LED, those are
new. the old set had a bad led bulb so i replaced the set. The front and rear bumpers are ARB with a 8,000 Warn
winch with 10k synthetic rope with a ProLink thimble with titanium pin. There is a Vision X rear back up LED light.
The underside has been upgraded also. The front and rear diff are ARB cast in red. The rear diff has a AEV diff
slider. I thought the Jeep needed a better hood, so I added the AEV heat reduction hood. For safety, there are two
fire extinguishers with quick disconnects. The engine, transfer case and transmission have 1/4" steel armor
plating.
The interior has red stitching on the door panels, arm rest and steering wheel from the Altitude package. I decided
to upgrade the seating around 17k miles to Katzskin red/black, while keeping the standard heated front seats
option. I upgraded the stereo to a nav/bluetooth/sat radio and iPod solution from Kenwood with top of the line JL
Audio speakers front and rear with a Jl Audio 13" sub enclosure for specifically for JK's. This system is powered
by two JL Audio digital amps. I also added a Passport 9500i built in radar with laser jamming system. To keep the
sound down i added BoomMat sound and heat absorber to the interior headliner. I added Putco LED interior lights,
they needed a upgrade in a big way. Small but helpful in appearance is a 12" stubby metal antenna.

Gilles defends 2014 Jeep Cherokee design as "very contemporary"
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Following the forced-hand introduction of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, there has definitely been a mix of responses revolving around everything from its design to the return of the legendary nameplate. As evidence of this, just check out the 1,000+ comments in our article last week and some of the many opinions that were voiced. Following this not-too-warm reception, Ward's Auto had a chance to talk to Chrysler designer chief - and SRT president - Ralph Gilles, who shed a little more light on the styling direction of the new Cherokee.
Rather than looking to previous models for inspiration, Gilles says that the Cherokee has been designed to be more contemporary, with Mark Allen, head of Jeep design, adding that a main goal was to make sure the design still looks modern five years from now. Interestingly, Gilles does point out that one of the design elements incorporated on the new Cherokee that pays homage to past Jeeps is the sharply downward angle for the leading edge of the beltline, which he notes is meant to mimic the look of the old YJ and TJ Wrangler models fitted with half doors. Of course, the squared-off wheel openings - a signature Jeep cue - are still used.
This is probably a design that will need to be seen on the street in actual daylight to properly assess, but in the meantime, we'll bring you full images and impressions when the Cherokee debuts at next month's New York Auto Show.
Jeep Cherokee sales rival Wrangler after two months
Sun, 29 Dec 2013In our First Drive article on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee we said, "our informal and thoroughly unscientific opinion is they're going to sell tons of them. Why? Because it is very good." So far, it appears the public concurs. Of course, it's very early - the new compact utility has logged just one month of confirmed sales, but Larry Vellequette at Automotive News says dealers have told him that the second month of sales will be even better, a message that mirrors what we've heard from company execs.
In its first, severely truncated month on sale, the Cherokee sold 579 units. With all of November to play with, though, dealers moved 10,169 of them - compared to 11,753 Wranglers and 14,798 Grand Cherokees. That helped propel Jeep to a 30-percent year-on-year improvement for the month, Chrysler Group to a 16-percent improvement and the group's 44th consecutive month of sales growth, exceeding analyst expectations in posting its best November numbers since 2007.
If it can just keep replicating the its first month of sales, the finalist in North American Truck of the Year voting will smoke the trade done by the outgoing Liberty, which didn't break 7,900 units in a month in the last four years of its life (and normally didn't get close to even that). In March this year, Chrysler said it wants to build 250,000 Cherokees in its Toledo assembly plant for global sales. It's early yet, but with second-month sales quoted as being as "strong as death," the bookies might be resetting the odds.
Finding surfing spots in the UK is tough work, even in a Jeep
Sun, 06 Jul 2014You truly have to love surfing to practice the sport in the United Kingdom. The area isn't exactly teeming with warm beaches full of sunbathers, and absolutely no easy spots to find big waves. To be a UK surfer, you need to be a fearless adventurer, not to mention quite lucky. And driving a Jeep might help, too.
Surfers Oli Adams and Micah Lester are traveling around the British Isles in a Jeep Wrangler Overland trying to find the best surf spots out there. These guys don't fit the laid-back surfer stereotype, but that's because finding waves in the UK is hard work. They say that the waves at some of these spots only exist for about three hours every year when the current and winds are just right.
To find these surf spots, the Jeep's offroad capabilities are paramount. In some areas, as you'll see in the video, there isn't even a beach, just jagged rocks. It would be like the movie Endless Summer, that is, if it could start snowing at any moment. These guys are clearly dedicated to their sport.
