Jeep, Goes most anywhere… Does most anything. We’re really not sure what to think about the intro to this 1960 Jeep commercial. Buster Keaton was no doubt the king of silent film comedy, but we think the ad execs were reaching a bit by wrangling him into doing this commercial. Regardless, what is awesome about […]
Here at Motor City Muscle Cars were absolutely love vintage Jeeps. This old War Department Signal Corps training film is all kinds of awesome. First we see what appears to be a complete waterproofing kit in a crate. We’d love to know what that kit is worth today intact. Second, we learn about our friend […]
Scramblers are awesome, let’s just go ahead and make that statement now. While the short wheelbase of the CJ is great offroad, there are times when a bit more room is a welcome addition.

What you may not know is that the 37″ Mickey Thompson tires Dana 44 axles equipped with 4:10 gears and electronic locking differentials serve one purpose. Getting power to the ground from the bolt-in 470 horsepower 6.4-liter HEMI […]

Moab has become the Auto Show of choice for Mopar and Chrysler to unleash their hottest new concepts that hint to the future for the rugged off road brand. This year Jeep is not disappointing. They continue to build a frenzy of support for a Jeep based pickup truck that is liable to debut in late 2014 as a 2015 model, […]
To prepare the Jeep Wrangler Traildozer for Moab’s toughest trails, Jeep Design worked closely with the American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) engineering team to bring it to life. Starting with a new Dozer Yellow 2012 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, the team added a bolt-in 470 horsepower 6.4-liter HEMI V-8 engine mated to a Getrag 238 six-speed manual […]
