2007 Jeep Wrangler Jk

15 January 2010 | No Comments » | admin

The 2007 Jeep Wrangler JK has the looks that say ?I?m the biggest thing on the trail?. The JK has a more refined interior and possess better handling characteristics. If we are to guess what Jeep?s guiding principle when it was designing the JK it must be ?MORE? because this particular Jeep has more of everything you can think of like more room, more power, more on-road refinement, more safety, and more convenience.

Here are some of the remarkable features that the JK possess:

1. The chassis of the JK has a two-inch longer wheelbase, a 3.5 inch wider track, with a frame that?s exactly 100 percent solid which is a good thing since it makes the springs and shocks much easier to tune for a better on-road experience.

2. The bigger wheels and tires together with its new electronic axle lockers, an electronic disconnecting front anti-roll bar, and boosts up transfer cases makes the JK even more trail capable.

3. The much longer wheelbase and wider track provides more room for passengers and gears.

4. Its narrowing nose, sloping windshield, and raked grille improves the new Wrangler?s stability and fuel economy.

5. The new Wrangler makes use of different door and roof configurations which can be reconfigured further. Its three-piece Sunrider soft-top is compatible with the factory hardtop pr can be a stand-alone choice.

6. The rear-seat has a fold and tumble feature which enables easy access to a lockable under-floor storage area where small items can be stored. Plus with the rear seats tumbled forward it provides approximately 30 cubic feet of useable storage behind the front seats.

7. The JK is powered by an all-new 3.8 liter OHV V-6 which is made stronger, lighter and more fuel efficient compared to the 4.0 liter I-6 engine that it previously possess. The new V-6 offers 205 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque and is estimated to get 17 mpg for city driving and 21 mpg for highway driving. Its highly sophisticated Jeep catalytic converter reduces the level of harmful C02 emissions.

8. In terms of its seven slotted grille it is a prominent feature of Jeep vehicles as well the round headlights. But an option package that includes an integrated foglights and protective skidplates are available for an extra cost of course.

9. JK is also equipped with ESP or Electronic Stability Programme and roll mitigation software to reduce the possibility of rollover. There are also dual-stage front and side-mounted airbags which are designed to lessen impact in case of rollovers.

10. The windshield still fold flat to the hood by simply removing the screws and latches.

Chrysler Wooing Jeep Clients With Off-road Experience Tests

25 December 2009 | No Comments » | admin

It might be a long way from the outback or actual off road driving but Chrysler is becoming very innovative in its marketing efforts to allow potential clients to experience the Jeep’s trail rated difference!

In early October at the South Florida International Auto Show, Chrysler set up what they called “Camp Jeep”. To those less term enriched, Jeep made a driving exhibit to give test drivers the real-life experience of driving a Jeep off road. This was no minor feat for Jeep. To build their course at the Miami Beach Convention Center, they had to haul in over 220 yards of mulch and spend almost six days developing the obstacle course. The trail featured a water obstacle and an 18-foot “hill” as well as other driving challenges. All to show potential clients just what a Jeep can do out on the trails.

If this wasn’t enough, Chrysler is going it one better at their upcoming “Full Throttle Test Drive Event” at the Wild Rivers Water Park in Irvine, CA (Los Angeles area) this Saturday (Oct. 28) and Sunday (Oct. 29). Chrysler will be featuring its full line of vehicles on three different specialty courses, one of which will be a 4

Jeep And Chrysler Doing Well Across The Pond

25 December 2009 | No Comments » | admin

Chrysler may be feeling some pain in the USA, but overseas they are realizing some excellent results. According to a Chrysler spokesperson, international sales are up 14 percent through August of 2006 with 15 straight months of month-to-month increases. The news is even better in Western Europe. Chrysler reported an increase of 35.6% in August 2006 compared with the performance from a year ago, and a sales increase of 15.5% for the year-to-date through August 2006. According to JATO Dynamics, a market information company, Jeep sales were up 25% in Europe through August compared to 2005, much of the increase due to the excellent performances of the new Grand Cherokee and Commander. These impressive sales results have made Chrysler the second fastest growing automotive group in Europe, second only to Fiat, and Chrysler predicts that international sales will account for 9% of total sales by 2007.

Looking at the sales numbers it’s easy to see why the folks at Chrysler were excited about the unveiling of their production version of the two-door Jeep Wrangler and four-door Jeep Wrangler Unlimited for the first time in Europe at the recently held Paris Motor Show. The Paris Motor Show is a major event that is held every two years. It is a trend-setting showcase for the automotive industry around the world and it attracts participants from all corners of the globe. The newly demo’ed Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited models are powered by a new 2.8 liter diesel engine and feature a broad array of new off-road features. They will hit European dealer showrooms around April of 2006, and Chrysler feels they’ll be a big hit. Why shouldn’t we believe them? They seem to have an excellent grasp on the European market at the moment.

It is good that Chrysler, an American car manufacturer, and Jeep are making themselves known around the world and realizing some excellent results. Now if only we could get our hands on those diesel powered Wranglers here in the good ole’ USA. Then we all might be happy!

Speaking of happy, we have everything you need for your Jeep Wrangler and Grand Cherokee at XtremeTerrain.com.

New Campaign for 2007 Jeep Patriot

11 December 2009 | No Comments » | admin

The 2007 Jeep Patriot has a new kind of campaign – and it sure is not going to use the usual blend of television, radio, and print campaigns.

The new campaign is known to have a cutting edge appeal. And it is surely going to surprise most of us. See, the 2007 Jeep Patriot is going to be brought to the knowledge of the consumers through a whole new internet experience wherein consumers and visitors would be able to get to know the vehicle in its whole package.

It can be remembered that last February the brand had sent out that campaign called ?The Patriot Factor? which is quite unique. It is a combination of the Jeep brand and Marvel Comics? characters. This has been made to be a comic book but can be read and accessed online. Readers would be shown the adventures that would follow a storyline depending on who is reading. It is part of the whole new scheme of marketing the Jeep Patriot and consumers are given that chance to have a ?choose your own adventure? kind of game.

The additional marketing strategy is now already launched and it is known as ?The Way Beyond Trail?. This time around, it is an online film made to be interactive. If they choose to, consumers and visitors can be part of a whole adventure by joining the three other characters shown on the monitor. They would be driving a Jeep Patriot, going through different locations without much noise, thanks to Nissan mufflers, and then they would be on the hunt for buried treasure.

Jay Kuhnie, the director of Jeep Communications, is proud of these strategies and he shares, ?’The Way Beyond Trail’ and ‘The Patriot Factor’ combine the timeless magic of story-telling with the power and reach of the Internet. Both applications allow us to engage prospective customers of the Jeep Patriot in an environment that is interactive and entertaining, which resonates well with them.?

To access these Jeep creations, you can visit www.patriotadventure.com starting March 15.

Functional Jeep Header in an Exhaust System

2 December 2009 | No Comments » | admin

All of the system and components of a car need to be functioning well to enjoy a smooth ride. One important system is the exhaust system. This system is where the pipes, resonators and mufflers belong. They are tasked to carry the exhaust gases from the exhaust manifold out into the atmosphere. When fuel is burned the exhaust produced should be released efficiently, because these gases cannot stay inside the exhaust pipes for a long time. The Jeep’s exhaust system is continuously perfected to enhance the Jeep’s performance. A vehicle’s exhaust system starts in the manifold, where exhaust gases from all the cylinders are collected and are brought to a single pipe. After that is the header, which is an improved manifold. The Jeep header is designed to perform well in collecting the exhaust gases that the manifold did not collect. Headers are generally steel pipes with bends and folds so all the exhaust gases arrives at the same time.

The exhaust gases then passes through the catalytic converter, which turns harmful gases into less harmful ones. It then goes through the muffler, where the gases escape into the air.

A Jeep header is a good instrument that will remove all the performance-decreasing exhaust dirt to the engine, in order to reach optimum performance. It works by giving every exhaust cylinder their own small version of exhaust piping to improve the air intake and exhaust operation. The piping pushes the exhaust pulsing away from the cylinder head and then off into the downstream exhaust collector. A Jeep header also limits the backpressure to make the exhaust flow easier. Jeep vehicles are equipped with high quality parts to ensure the efficiency of the vehicles. A Jeep header is one of the important car parts that make driving pleasurable. An engine will reach its maximum power if other car systems are working properly. All Jeep models are properly equipped with this type of header. Vehicle models include, Jeep Compass, Jeep Liberty, and Jeep Commander and Jeep Cherokee.

Jeep Exhaust System – a Tough, But Clean Performer

23 November 2009 | No Comments » | admin

A sport utility vehicle that delivers unbridled all-wheel drive performance demands a slew of sturdy and rugged parts. Abused and battered by the most harsh terrains, SUV’s depend heavily on these parts to withstand constant punishment. Chrysler’s all-terrain vehicle manufacturer, Jeep, strives to produce the nastiest all-wheel drive automobiles. Designed to conquer all kinds of road surfaces, all Jeep vehicles are equipped with performance parts tough enough and tuned to their owners demands.

With the recent issues on environmental hazards posed by fossil fuel combustion, the creators and designers of Jeep know they have to undertake a Herculean task to produce a tough, but clean performance. Using an internal combustion engine may cause the release of significant amount of harmful gases by the Jeep Exhaust. Because of this, the creators and designers have endeavored to keep the Jeep exhaust system and engine environment-friendly.

A Jeep internal combustion engine basically acts as an air pump. A right level of air and gas combination could enable the engine to move or run. After the air and gas combust inside the engine, the process goes next to the Jeep Exhaust. The Jeep Exhaust, located at the back of a vehicle, is a series of pipes that connects the engine to a silencer and a catalytic converter. In addition, the Jeep Exhaust brings the combusted gas outside the vehicle. A typical Jeep exhaust system reduces noise, directs exhaust fumes away from the cabin, and improves engine performance and fuel economy.

An important part of Jeep’s exhaust system is the exhaust manifold, which acts like a funnel. It gathers exhaust gases from all cylinders of the engine. Then, it releases the said gases through a single opening, often referred to as the front pipe. Working with the silencer as a reducing minimizer is the exhaust center. It contains metal plates or tubes that contain a set of holes bored into them. The tail pipe, the Jeep Exhaust system’s only visible part, then carries away the gases.

There is no question that the Jeep’s exhaust system contributes in helping the SUV giant’s vehicles take severe punishment, yet deliver clean, tough performance beyond expectations.
