    2011 Moab Easter Jeep Safari

    16th September 2011


    In the 45th annual event of Moab Easter Jeep Safari in 2011, Jeep® and Mopar had collaborated to present six new Jeep vehicles to mark the occasion. The six “Moparized” Jeep are the Wrangler ‘Pork Chop’, the Compass Canyon, the Cherokee Overland, the Wrangler Renegade, the Wrangler JK-8 Independence, and the Wrangler Blue Crush. Jeep Wrangler ‘Pork Chop’ is focused..

    The Jeep Grand Cherokee review indicates that the vehicle comes with 3698cc, V6, 6-cylinder petrol engine. This engine can deliver power of 210 bhp at 5200 rpm along with torque of 319 Nm at 4000 rpm. The length of the car is 4512 mm and its width is 2020 mm while its height is 1650 mm.

    5 individuals can comfortably sit in the vehicle. The Jeep Grand Cherokee has independent live axle suspension. The four wheel drive system in the vehicle ensures that the jeep is quite agile and completely at home in rough terrain. The ride however may not seem smooth particularly while taking corners and while driving on rough roads. The engine is accompanied with 5 automatic gears and the fuel tank limit of the car is 84 litres.

    The 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee has been fully revealed and the new SUV, riding on the Mercedes ML chassis, takes Jeep in an entirely different and upscale direction.

    In addition to the sculpted new looks, the 2011 Grand Cherokee gets a Quadra Lift air suspension capable of lifting the SUV from a low 4.5 inches clearance in parking mode to a rock-topping 11.1 inches ground clearance. Power will come from the baseline 3.6 liter V6 with about 280 HP or a 5.7-liter HEMI V8 with 360 HP and 390 lb-ft of torque. It also gets adaptive cruise control, a park-assist system and all the other requisite electronic tomfoolery required in new cars. That pretty body work is going to look great scraping along the boulders on the Rubicon. That’s what Jeep owners do, right?

    Offered in three models - Wrangler X, Sahara and Rubicon - the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler is lean, rugged and simple, achieving best-in-class off-road capability while delivering a true open-air driving experience. With solid axles, removable doors, exposed hinges, a fold-down windshield and innovative removable and convertible tops, Jeep Wrangler retains the brand’s coveted core values of freedom, adventure, mastery and authenticity.

    With dozens of different top, door and windshield combinations, nine unique exterior colors and available 16-, 17- or 18-inch wheels, the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler provides a customized appearance for a variety of customers.

    Are you sure you really want a used Jeep?

    Let’s see…have you ever driven a Jeep?  If so, was it a Wrangler, a CJ, a Cherokee, Jeep truck or one of many other varieties from a long history of unique Jeep vehicles?

    I have driven Jeeps for many years, and I can honestly say that most Jeep owners either love their Jeep or hate it.  In my observation there is not much middle ground when it comes to Jeeps.

    Buying a “used” Jeep may be the way to go if you are just getting started in the world of Jeeps.  I say this because new Jeeps can be pretty pricey (even more so than some comparable brands).

    Also, buying a used Jeep will give you an opportunity to get to know your Jeep and to find out if this affair is going to last or not…and usually for a whole lot less money than buying new.

    Even if this relationship does not work out the good news is that most used Jeeps (especially the Wrangler and the other Jeep 4×4′s) tend to hold their respective values well within the used marketplace.

    So now you still think you want a used Jeep in your life.  Then what do you do next?

    Searching for just the right vehicle of any sort can be a real hassle and sometimes a nightmare.  Searching for a good used Jeep can be even more traumatic and time consuming (but not always).

    Remember, Jeeps are unique animals in the off road/on road jungle, and thus need to be understood well before approaching for the first time.

    The first and simplest rule in finding a good Jeep is choosing the model that will suit your wants and needs as much as possible.

    Many times I have known people who just had to have a Jeep Wrangler or a CJ, only to find out that the “Jeep ride” was too rough on the derriere and other delicate parts.

    Fortunately, Jeep has produced other more civilized models such as the Grand Cherokee, Commander, Liberty and a few others with comfort options similar to sitting in your favorite recliner sipping a cool iced tea.

    Okay, that may be over the top a little, but you get the point.  Some of these more “cushy” Jeeps have the 4×4 ability to perform quite well off road as well as on the paved roads…and might seem to suit certain tastes better than the Wrangler or CJ could.

    All Jeeps are not created equal so before snagging that used Jeep up the street because it is a convertible, or has big tires, or is just so darned cute…take a deep breath or you might get burned.

    Study up on the different models, styles and features that fit your wants and needs, but remember these are “Jeeps” and most are not like your everyday SUV or family sedan.

    I personally love Jeeps and often wish I had known more about these great rigs years ago when I sold a really classic Jeep because I didn’t really know exactly what a treasure I had at the time.

    So, if a used Jeep is in your future I would highly recommend getting as much information as possible by driving different models (and not just around the block).  Really get the experience of the Jeep.  Learn all about the pros and cons of any particular model you may be interested in.

    Some research can go a long way to save you time and money, so that when you do pull the trigger on a used Jeep, it will be an affair to remember…and that’s a good thing!

    I’m Larry Morton and I have professionally written about Jeeps for a long time   wrote a timely eBook detailing the good, bad and ugly of nearly, every Jeep mode,l produced since through the modern ,day Jeeps…to help you, save a lot of ,time and money , Check it out for yo

    The new Jeep is very aptly named Phoenix as it is the type of vehicle that will allow Jeep to arise magically from the ashes of the devastated Chrysler. Just days away from what may be the last days of Chrysler, it is important to note that there are virtually no scenarios that allow for the Jeep brand to disappear from the face of the Earth. For many years, Jeep has been the most powerful brand in the Chrysler lineup and it is effectively inconceivable that Jeep will not continue in one way or another even in the death throes of Chrysler: Perhaps as a standalone brand, or maybe as a brand belonging to another major automotive manufacturer

    The Panda / Phoenix 4×4 is definitely the way of the future for Jeep. It’s a small, incredibly economical and thrifty car that can go anywhere. Yes, its barely 1.3 litre engine would make it the smallest displacement automobile currently sold in the USA with only the Smart Car having a tinier engine, but the Panda / Phoenix delivers. It can very comfortably cruise at highway speeds and the powerplant contains enough grunt to take the little mini-Jeep up frighteningly steep inclines.

    With an innovative four wheel drive system which is engaged by viscous coupling with two Electronic Locking Differentials that cut in below 20 mph to brake wheels that find themselves without grip and slipping and proceed to transfer torque to the other wheels, the Panda / Phoenix 4×4 can handle anything the street or the dirt can throw at it.

    Jeep kit from Mopar that can turn any Wrangler into a pickup truck, and making it similar to the old CJ-8 Scrambler. They are calling this the JK-8 Independence kit, however we have to question Jeep as to why they are not offering something similar from the factory. Die-hard jeep owners will have to convert their original Wrangler’s by throwing away all the original body parts found on the rear end of the SUV. Then they can take this JK-8 kit and install it to make a truck. Doesn’t make a whole lot of sense because it will be a damn expensive tuning project, yet the results look good.
