We saw the 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3' Jeep Wrangler when it was quietly unveiled at the Woodward Dream Cruise in August. Now we're seeing the ad that'll accompany the special edition four-wheeler — and I think both gaming and Jeep fans alike will think it's simply epic. More »

It's one thing to overlook mismatched fenders on a Jeep Wrangler when one side has unpainted plastic black and the other is glossy painted black. But how do you explain one with three white fenders and one black plastic one? Jeez. Did we really pay good government money for this company? More »

Upscale versions of the Jeep Wrangler now eschew the bare plastic trim for painted wheel arches and roofs. But one owner, after taking his 2012 Jeep Wrangler Sahara home, noticed that the wheel arches on one side weren't color-matched. In fact, they were the wheel arches from the 2011 model year Wrangler.

Except for the Porsche 911, no vehicle has preserved its purity of essence like the Jeep Wrangler, an original creation as American as jazz and Kim Kardashian's ass. Now its new Italian don has blessed it with the latest corporate power parts. Could change actually make the Jeep better? More »

A few months ago, Jalopnik called on Chrysler to restore the sagging state of American manliness by building a Jeep Wrangler pickup. Today, Jeep finally announced the pricing and details for a kit version. While $5,499 ain't cheap, many good things aren't. More »

The Jeep Wrangler is a legend. The 2010 model's part of a line of pure, utilitarian, rough-and-tumble vehicles stretching all the way back to 1941. And that's exactly why you shouldn't buy it. The 2011 Wrangler is that much better. More »

The 2011 Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited are here and include a much requested body-color removable hard top and a not-quite-as-highly-requested upgraded interior. Otherwise, it's still a Jeep Wrangler. What do you want? Oh. Pictures? Sure. Many, many pictures below. More »

Chrysler's Mopar division went hog-wild on new off-roading rigs for the 44th Easter Jeep Safari. There's a quartet of Wranglers, the bitchin' Nukizer concept, a high-clearance Powerwagon and the Raptor-like Ram Runner. Glad to see someone at ChryCo's still kicking. More »

When Chrysler dropped its bevy of extended-range electric vehicles in our laps today as part of the company's new ENVI program, we wondered how coincidental it was that Chrysler was claiming the same all-electric range as the much ballyhooed Chevy Volt. The Volt makes concessions to seating and obsessively maximizes aerodynamics to get its 40 mile range, but the Chrysler EV and the Jeep EV both claim 40 miles as well. No funny-shaped center consoles, no wacky aero-trickery, just batteries and electric motors. So what's the deal? Not surprisingly, it's mainly the batteries that make the difference here. More »

Not content to let the Dodge EV and Chrysler EV hog the electrified-concept spotlight, the Jeep EV makes its debut as well, complete with range-extended electric status and the possibility of monster rock-crawling capabilities. This Jeep Wrangler Unlimited gets a battery pack, an electronics controller, and a 268 HP electric motor with 295 lb-ft of torque, while the big gas engine is subtracted in favor of a fuel-sipping generator. The knee-jerk reaction to an electrically motivated Jeep might be to recoil in horror at the thought, but think about it for a second — maximum torque at zero RPM, a power source unaffected by orientation, and no engine noise to get in the way of your spotter's directions. Okay, the likelihood of hitting the Rubicon Trail with this baby is small, but the idea isn't that far out. Details in the press release below. More »

The production version of the Jeep Wrangler J8 made it's Euro debut at Jeep Camp 2008 in Germany this week. While not in itself news — we've already covered its officially official return — news of its Euro reveal got us to lusting after the new military-spec off-roader. Since we can't get it and you can't get it, we thought we could all spend a moment wallowing in our sorrow together. More »

Apparently answering today's QOTD with a "hell yes," our friends in Auburn Hills have tied the super-best automaker from the Land of the Rising Sun in at least one category: Most productive manufacturer, according to this year's Harbour Report. What does that mean? That Chrysler assembles a vehicle in 30.37 hours on average, exactly the same figure reported by Toyota. How'd they do it? Outsourcing! More »

With the vast amount of floor space at McCormick Place for the Chicago Auto Show, Chrysler decided to put some of it to good use by setting up their "Trail Rated" challenge. Wert, Wojdyla and I piled into a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and proceeded through the course, bashing our heads against the roll-bars. The Wrangler made quick work of the rocks, logs, and steep hills ramps. Wanting a bit more of a challenge, we asked if we could get a ride in a Compass (or even an 18-1 Patriot) on the trail... but we think they must not have heard us. Oh well. Hmm... wonder how those DUB Chryslers would fair? More »

Just about the last thing you expect to see when you're out wheeling with your tough new Jeep Wrangler is a tree making a move on your crotch. It's one of those things not normally within the sphere of operation for trail driving. Normal is not what happened to one driver out for a New Years day expedition. This is the kind of thing should get back to Chrysler's engineering department for consideration in the next revision level. Anyway, well let the eyewitness from Postworthy lay out the details for you: More »

We saw it in spy shots for the first time a couple of months ago, and of course we're excited about the Brute-like JT Concept we'll be seeing at SEMA, but now it's official — Jeep's making another run at military vehicle sales with their newest offering for the defense systems crowd — the Jeep J8. Built off the new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, the Jeep J8 gets some frame reinforcements to allow for greater payloads (up to a max of 2,952 lb.) and newly engineered axles, brakes and a leaf-spring rear suspension system for "more demanding military and civilian government use." Because although the J8's stronger than the Wrangler Unlimited it's built on, it's not designed for front-line combat operations. Instead, the fully-armor capable Jeep J8's designed for duties ranging from...
