Pound for pound, and dollar for dollar, there is no better truck on the market to meet YOUR needs. Designed to excel in the Amazon, the Sahara, The mountains, or the Outback, This truck was built from the ground up to tackle anything, Equipped With a Safari guard steel front bumper made of plate steel forged in the fires of Mt doom, This thing has a winch mount, deflector plate, and a brush guard for when you need to smash through the woods, or the traffic in a hurry. Rock sliders for when the almost 18" of side clearance isn't enough. Oversized off road tires ensure traction in even the harshest mud bogs or snow covered mountainsides. Raised on heavy duty lifted suspension, there's hardly an obstacle on the planet you won'e be ready to tackle. A Steel roof rack fit for the toughest of men. What do you need a epic roof rack for? if you're asking that question, you're not man enough for this car put your gear on top. put your boat on top. put TWO couches on top, Camp on top. And, a ladder to access all that. Does it have four wheel drive? It ONLY has four wheel drive. Four different settings of it. Class IV trailer hitch to haul your tractor through the backwoods, and a winch mount so you can pull all those other wimpy cars on the road out of the snow and mud when they get stuck. With a factory jump seat installed in back, this truck seats 6, So you're ready to take your whole assault team on your next mission. How many head lights does it have? 2? 4? 6? no. EIGHT. So you're ready to light up the night. Perfect for blazing trails through the middle of nowhere, or scaring off your enemies, like zombies, or just leave them on so you can work late into the night. Did you forget to turn all those lights off last night? Battery dead in the morning? No big deal, the truck's got an extra. With the flip of a switch, you can jump yourself. Whether i was tearing up a field, blasting through mud bogs, pulling E-350 Vans out of ditches or snow, This truck was ready. Whether I was hauling a hundred boards of lumber, camping in the backwoods or hauling a trailer, This truck can handle it. I've driven it through feet solid of snow and seen 3 axle municipal snow plow vehicles stuck and i kept going. If it can be done, this truck can do it. Loyal to me for 10 years, this Beast of a machine never left me stranded. And with just a little work, this tank is ready for anything.

Jeep driver nearly gets washed away by fast moving river
Wed, May 11 2016Just because you can do something doesn't mean that you should. For example, you should never attempt to cross a fast-moving river in a bone stock Grand Cherokee no matter how shallow the river looks. Especially if you don't know what you're doing. A video posted recently to the Facebook group Jeep EXPERIENCE, shows an inexperienced jeep driver learning that lesson the hard way. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The video starts innocently enough, with a group of off-roaders watching one of their friends attempt to ford a shallow looking river. Things quickly go sideways however, when the driver of the silver Grand Cherokee just plunges right in and quickly gets in over his head. The river is moving faster than the driver thinks it is, the driver panics, makes some bad decisions, then the jeep is turned over and swept downstream. Eventually, the jeep is hauled out by a Land Rover after a long comedy of errors that involves one guy losing his trousers to the current and the Cherokee ingesting untold gallons of water. What went wrong here? Well, It's pretty obvious from the video that the Cherokee driver didn't have a clear idea of where he was going or about the condition of the riverbed. He chickened out halfway across the river, and in what appears to be a misguided attempt at turning back, he reverses, digs himself deeper in the riverbed, then turned broadside on into the current. When he changes his mind again and decides to just gun it for the opposite shore, he drives directly into a deep water hazard that would have been obvious to an experienced off-roader. At that point the jeep and the driver were doomed. Hopefully the driver learned a lesson here, and hopefully he didn't pollute that river too much with the jeep's fluids.

Jaguar Land Rover opens winter testing facility in Minnesota
Wed, 12 Dec 2012As it begins the rollout of the all-wheel-drive Jaguar XJ and XF models, Jaguar Land Rover has just announced that it has opened a new facility in northern Minnesota for winter testing. Located in International Falls, MN (on the US and Canadian border), the British automaker says it is one of the coldest locations in the Continental US. Jaguar's new Instinctive All Wheel Drive system was developed primarily to help sell more cars in the northern US, so it only makes sense to open a testing area in the US as well.
With temperatures that can drop to minus 55 degrees Fahrenheit, International Falls was chosen to mimic some of the worst weather a Jaguar or Land Rover will ever see. The grounds house testing chambers, various road surfaces and even a frozen lake. This new facility complements the hot-weather testing grounds in Phoenix, AZ.
The official press release is posted below.
GM, Audi, Jaguar halt Russian sales amidst ruble's collapse
Fri, Dec 19 2014The value of Russia's ruble currency has sunk like a stone tossed in the Volga for much of the year, losing over 40 percent of its worth since June. The change is having bizarre effects on the auto industry there and leaving some automakers scrambling to adjust. According to Bloomberg, Russians are buying up luxury goods including automobiles at the moment to have a physical investment in case the ruble sinks further. However, with the money worth so little, the companies aren't making much from these transactions. Things are so dire that several automakers are temporarily ending deliveries until the situation stabilizes. According to Bloomberg, General Motors stopped sales on December 16 with no set date to start again. Audi did the same thing but with the intention to resume once it has adjusted model pricing. Jaguar Land Rover terminated business until December 19 to see how things changed. Toyota is increasing its pricing, as well, but keeping business open at the same time. Some automakers have subtly been reacting to the slumping Russian auto market all year. The moves have included Volkswagen cutting production by 30,000 units from its factory in Kaluga. Ford also got rid of 950 workers from two plants due to low demand. Some analysts have even speculated that the contracting industry and possibility of lower import duties into the country could cause companies to end their manufacturing in Russia completely.
