    Any CJ-8 Overlanders or postals ?

    I'm a bit torn... either way, looks a ton better than the rounder versions produced by Jeep for the LJ/TJ/YJ, etc. It totally transforms the look of the vehicle. Very impressed! A shame one won't be available for the JK. Perhaps Jeff would be able to solve all of those leakage issues people are...

    2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee

    GREAT Ad!! Hopefully Jeep sticks with that ad firm and theme for some time, it will certainly serve them well.

    Yeah, there is a bigger focus on smog and particulate matter here than Euro5. The whole thing ends up being a joke though. In all honesty, EDM/JDM/USDM Markets should come together and hash out consistent emissions regulations and safety targets in those markets. It would make it much cheaper...

    Jeep plans 2011-2014

    Going to call you out on that one Chris. Tell me how having the ability to order the options you want on the vehicle is any more expensive... certainly odd considering that is EXACTLY what vehicle manufacturers do now. Been to Jeep's site lately? You will see a number of options available to...

    Totally true... dealers around me continually only stock loaded models and you have to special order a base model. This naturally impacts demand models that chrysler is using and potentially skews the demand curve towards higher priced, more fully optioned vehicles when in fact the market might...

    Like I said, let us order à la carte... that way you can enjoy your heated seats and power mirrors and I can enjoy rolling down my windows manually and freezing my ******** off. Having dealt with faulty regulators on a toyota LC, a Nissan Xterra, and Grand Cherokee through the years, I like to...

    Yeah, it's funny how the "hardcore" Rubicon keeps getting softer and softer. After all, what is the point of that 4:1 transfer case if you can't scale those curbs at the mall while keep your *** warm and adjusting your mirrors to reapply your lipstick. Don' get me wrong, I am all for certain...

    Jeep plans 2011-2014

    Yeah... boo is right, although no big surprise. There is a guy on JK Forums who I guess has a real in with Chrysler who has been saying for months that there would be no change to pentastar this year. At earliest it would be a mid 2011 model year change, but most likely we would not see it...

    Allpar posted this latest bit yesterday... "The 2011 Jeep Wrangler (standard and Unlimited) can now be ordered from dealers in the United States (and possibly other nations). All Wranglers have a revised interior, with a new instrument panel, door trim, and rear cargo area surface. Jeep...

    The J8 thread....

    Thanks for the clarification, lol... and most definitely on the same page. There is no logical reason for my love of manual transmissions... I am well aware of all of the performance advantages of a modern automatic... I just prefer a manual, regardless of how anachronistic they are in a...

    The J8 thread....

    LOL, now just what is that supposed to mean? I know that the slushbox is supposed to be a great match and I know all of the benifits to one, both offroad and in a "militarized" zone, but I can't help but want a manual transmission. I like to actually feel engaged while driving. Fill us in...

    The J8 thread....

    I haven't heard anything... although did see that Expeditions West has a white one on site now. My biggest question is how are people paying for these... outright or financing somehow?

    JK/J8 Flippac rumor??

    My issue was kayaks and I asked about thickness of glass and whether it would support either a drill through option or something along the lines of a yakima/thule setup. They said the glass was sufficiently thick enough to handle such a load. That being said, my guess is that this is something...

    Photo of New 2011 FJ?

    Concept done by Rod Millen if I remember correctly a number of years back... pre FJ. I think you are looking at pictures from SEMA or some other event.

    2011 Wrangler rollout this summer

    Well that is a catch 22 for Chrysler... the Jeep Wrangler is the most profitable and highest selling of all the vehicles in the Jeep line up. They can't afford to make a mistake and screw up the roll out of a new powerplant with their highest volume product. It would be a PR nightmare and hurt...

    Timgco's (Tail Rated) Expedition JK

    Cool JK, thread should be under the Jeep section though.. lots of guys probably missing out on the thread because it is under general.

    The Plan...

    W is one of the hardcore. That man is a master fabricator and makes some rather amazing creations, although not in the typical expedition fashion.
