    Jeep Africa, Will it Come to be?

    Well, that just makes it official. It won't be a 140K suv against Land Rover, but a 100K truck against the Cadillac Escalade. I would also expect Ram to get its Ramcharger back.

    Jeep Africa, Will it Come to be?

    I might have to argue that one. Just because a concept is based on a certain model, doesn't necessarily mean that the real thing will be based on it. The Dakar concept looks very similar to the KJ Liberty. I believe IMHO that the Africa concept may be a prelude to the Wagoneer/ Grand...

    Brand new Diesel CJ8

    It is very cool, but the 6 figure price tag can give anyone pause. If it were I, I would buy the frame, body, and new Cummins 4 cyl diesel. That would put me at around 20k by themselves. With some smart shopping not necessarily going for the most expensive and best, and a bit of elbow grease, I...

    Cummins 2.8L Diesel "Repower" engine kit

    When Dirt Everyday did their underwater stunt, Advance Adapters mated the engine to an NV3500. http://moparconnectionmagazine.com/video-dirt-every-day-drives-a-cummins-powered-jeep-underwater/ https://youtu.be/icp2Pb5uoME

    EVERY Jeep at SEMA 2016

    The XJ front clip on the Wrangler is something I could appreciate. And the restomods of vintage Jeeps are always welcome. But the majority seem to be a variation of the same theme. How many bolt on pieces can I throw on, add gaudy tire and wheels and a flashy paint job. And all on the same...

    Cummins 2.8L Diesel "Repower" engine kit

    I don't believe it will be anything like the 4BT. From what I read, this is the engine that was tested under the ATLAS program, with the intention of being fully emissions compliant through 2025. https://cumminsengines.com/cummins-announces-results-of-atlas https://cumminsengines.com/repower

    Anyone here own a Jeep Renegade?

    I am a big fan of the Renegade, if nothing else for its styling. Definatly more "jeepish" than the current Cherokee. Im sorry, even after a few years on the market, the Cherokee still hasn't caught my eye. Still ugly. But I would agree, its 4WD system would be well suited for the Renegade. I...

    Easter Jeep Safari Concepts 2015

    WheelVintiques has those wheels. And I think Summitmracing might have in certain sizes.

    Easter Jeep Safari Concepts 2015

    I don't think it has an extended wheelbase but a lengthened body. Looks to have the rear of the 2dr grafted onto the back of the JKU. Still it is a ready made product that JEEP will never let us have. And if power from the 2.8 is a concern, I know Cummins has a 3.8L turbo diesel 4 cyl that a...

    Toyota Re-Releasing 70 Series for One Year Only

    The problem I see getting the 70 series here in the states is that it wouldn't fit the mold for the masses. The truck is essentially a Ford Super Duty, the size of a Tacoma. The masses don't really care about the simplicity of the product, just as long as they can get the biggest most powerful...
