I was with my 15-month old son, Otto, at the playground in Griffith Park the other day and saw something that reaffirmed my faith that maybe, just maybe, some of this current generation of kids will grow up appreciating cars the way I do. More »

If unearthing cars stuck wasn't your favorite winter sport there was a simple solution in 1983—drive a Jeep.

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 might look like an average 2007 Jeep SRT8 at first glance, but from the moment this twin turbo beast launches, it becomes very clear this one is anything but average. More »

AEV's been kind enough to send us a truckload of new shots of the greatest thing to double in size since the KFC Double Down — the Brute Double Cab. Do want. Do want a lot. Do want with a side of mashed potatoes, a hot biscuit and maybe a Famous Bowl or two. More »

Yes, that's exactly what you think it is — a double cab version of the amazing Jeep Brute conversion kit we drove four years ago and fell in love with. All I can say is: Do want. Do want very badly. Do want so very badly I'm thinking of sleeping outside of American Expedition Vehicles shop until one's ready for me to drive — like an Apple fan-boy lined up outside the Fifth Ave. Apple store for a new iPhone.

From the great state of Florida comes this strange and surprisingly well executed mash up of a Jeep and an 80s Chevrolet S10 pickup. Why you would exert this much effort giving your Jeep the less than spectacular look of an out of proportion S10 is an impossible question to answer. All we know is that this is the bizarre result and it's currently for sale on craigslist for a mere $1500. 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 »

Lapo Elkann loves three things in this world: partying with drag queens, causing mischief, and driving conspicuously modified Fiat/Chrysler company vehicles.

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 »

When Jeep introduced the new longer wheelbase CJ-7 as a compliment to their CJ-5 model they opened the door for spirited musical debates between CJ enthusiasts like the ones seen here. Whether you thought your CJ-5 was the toughest rig around or your CJ-7 could take a smaller Jeep anytime, it was clear there was only one way to resolve the matter—high flying off road hoonage.

Watching a vehicle with two wheels to the sky is a pretty fail-safe way to bring a smile to the face of any car lover. While it's usually purpose built vehicles or super powerful drag cars that are capable of lifting the front end, every once in a while you can get great wheelies from an unexpected source like the custom flat fender Willys Jeep seen here.

We aren't exactly sure what inspires someone to put a Jeep CJ-7 body and the chassis of a 1984 Corvette, but this is what the mostly finished result looks like. This odd combination is currently on Ebay waiting for someone else who wants a Corvette that looks like a Jeep badly enough to finish up this bizarre project. More »

Jeep Cherokee. Owned by few, admired my many. What wondrous appetites you whet. What exuberance is in your inline six. What funny ways you show your greatness. A spare is just that. An extra. A just in case. But in your hands you make a case for a burnout that is just an extra bit of beauty. More »

The idea of using an SUV as a family car was still a fairly novel concept back in 1979. That didn't stop Jeep from singing the praises of their station wagon alternative Cherokee and it's family hauling ability. While conventional two wheel drive station wagons didn't have a chance of making it through squishy roads or rough terrain, as you can see from this vintage advertisement they were no problem for the full size 4x4 Jeep Cherokee.

Last week we showed you a Corvette Z06 racing a Koenigsegg CCXR at the mile long Moscow Unlimited, with surprising results. We would hardly call this footage from the same event a race (we aren't sure what happened to the BMW) but the results are certainly still surprising. Sure it's a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 and it's no slouch from the factory, but any combination of SUV and low 11 second 1/4 mile remains pretty impressive in our book. More »
