Jeep has been making big moves with the available factory options for the Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited. For 2013 Jeep released the 10th Anniversary Rubicon Model; adding winch bumpers, extra ground clearance, and 32 inch BFG KM2 mud terrain tires. For 2014, Jeep has taken those special add-ons and created the Wrangler Rubicon X model. Continue reading
I’ll admit it; I often get carried away. I’ll get an idea in my head and start a cycle of researching, list making, budgeting, day dreaming, and planning; then reality kicks in and I’m usually left frustrated, and disappointed. My wife bought me a subscription to Overland Journal for my birthday last fall – and now a few issues in; I want to build an overland rig and drive around the world.
Here I was, minding my own business walking the dealer lot while my friends in the Baker service department changed the Patriot’s oil, when I spotted a military-like-tan JK on the lot. I had completely forgotten about the new color DUNE, but here it is.
Spring is in the air! And among many other things, that means Jeep’s yearly concept tease at the Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah. The EJS has been on my bucket list for years, but for now, I’ll have to watch from afar and speculate on the images that trickle out over the next few weeks.
A year ago I was going Crush crazy, but Rock Lobster is slowly taking its place as my favorite Jeep color of recent years second only to Mango Tango. Continue reading
Despite the lack of a 25th Anniversary Wrangler, Jeep recently announced the 10th Anniversary Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Limited Edition for 2013. Jeep decided to honor the king of the trail by taking the most off-road-able production vehicle available today, and making it even more… off-road-able.

Jeep recently showed off the new Moab Edition Wrangler at the Paris Auto Show. It was also the first sighting of one of the new Wrangler colors for 2013, Rock Lobster. The pictures of Jeep’s new colors always look a bit different in person, but I hope this reddish-orange is close to the real deal.

Following a plethora of special edition Wranglers for 2012 – The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, the Arctic Edition, Altitude Edition, and the barely mentioned Freedom Edition – Jeep is kicking off 2013 with yet another limited edition JK. The 2013 Jeep Wrangler Moab edition is based on the Sahara model, and shares features of many of the special editions we saw last year.

Around this time every year, Jeep reveals concept vehicles to showcase at the annual Easter Jeep Safari in Moab Utah. the EJS is most likely the largest single gathering of Jeep vehicles on the planet, and is certainly a great place for the Chrysler heads to acquire some customer feedback from the core of their customer base; the enthusiasts. This year, like the past few years, there is a nice mix of realistic production potentials, and outrageously awesome pipe-dream concepts. One trend we’ve seen over the last few years is the presence of Wrangler based pickup trucks – this year Jeep built two of them.
