Part 2: Flexing Up And Old RideWhen you start with nothing you have nothing to lose, but when you start with an old CJ the sky's the limit. Building a Jeep CJ is pretty wide open. Tons of parts are available, and just about everything has been tried before: V-8s, multiple gearboxes, every size tire and axle combo. It's half boring and half challenging to build a Jeep and do something unique.inline_mediumwraptextright0030251761/ultimateadventure/2010/131_1010_ultimate_adventure_jeep_cj_7131_1010_01_o+131_1010_ultimate_adventure_2010_jeep_cj+frame_and_welder.jpgtrue

How Grand It IsWith the introduction of the all-new Jeep Grand Cherokee, Chrysler Corporation moves into new territory on the luxury SUV scene. New territory? In a word, yes. The 2011 offering has been completely and handsomely redesigned and given an independent rear suspension to match the front underpinnings. Luckily though, there are still a few Jeep engineers left at Chrysler, so the Grand has not been neutered into a snow- and snob-sucking luxury SUV that can't get out of its own way on the trail.inline_mediumwraptextright0034296834/featuredvehicles/131_1010_first_drive_2011_jeep_grand_cherokee131_1010_01_o+131_1010_first_drive_2011_jeep_grand_cherokee+caravan_down_mountain.jpgtrue

2008 Jeep Wrangler JK Rubicon - Trailrunner
- 2008 Jeep Wrangler JK Rubicon - Trailrunner
Slow. Fast. Fun.I like two-door JK Wranglers. I like the way they look and the way they work on the trail. I also like dual sport 4x4s that work as daily drivers and trail vehicles. Therefore, when I found a good deal on this 2008 Jeep Wrangler JK Rubicon, I snapped it up. The Trailrunner, a JK that can go fast like a prerunner and still tackle tough trails, is about to be born.inline_mediumwraptextright00Left Front Angle29896486/features/jeep/1010_4wd_2008_jeep_wrangler_jk_rubicon1010_4wd_01+2008_jeep_wrangler_JK_rubicon+left_front_angle.jpgtrue

A Portaled Uni-JeepThe '04-'06 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, commonly known as the LJ, brought a fresh audience to the Jeep brand. With its extended wheelbase and increased interior room, the LJ converted many would-be Jeepers who had previously shied away from the Wrangler models due to their limited cargo space and quirks associated with the shorter wheelbase. Similar to the traditional Wrangler, it didn't take long before these limited-production Jeeps were transformed into over-the-top unique creations.inline_mediumwraptextright00Maneuvering easily down the trail can be a bit more of a challenge with a rig this size. To help out, Jake takes full advantage of the 404 axles' factory selectable lockers in addition to using a double-ended hydraulic ram, which makes steering practically effortless.34283961/featuredvehicles/131_1010_carolina_crawler_2006_jeep_wrangler_unlimited131_1010_01_o+131_1010_carolina_crawler_2006_jeep_wrangler_unlimited+passenger_side_rock_view.jpgtrue

A Daily Driver In Basic BlackJeep's JK Wrangler is its most successful entry-level model. More than the TJ, which appealed to hard-core Jeepers by bringing back the classic Jeep 7-inch round headlights but adding a modern coil-sprung suspension, the JK is popular with small families that might otherwise consider car-based SUVs. JKs are basically the most daily-driveable off-the-lot bobtail Jeep yet.inline_mediumwraptextright00Left Side Angle28538612/features/jeep/1010_4wd_2007_jeep_wrangler_jk_unlimited1010_4wd_01+2007_jeep_wrangler_JK_unlimited+left_side_angle.jpgtrue

1991 Jeep Wrangler YJ - The YJ Way

Built Right By Dave's Customs UnlimitedHaving the strongest frame of the short wheel-base, open-top Jeep lineup, the Wrangler YJ is a popular choice for project builds. As a result, there are lots of ways to build a Jeep Wrangler YJ and not a whole lot of ways to get it wrong. There are just a few ways, however, to get it absolutely dead-on correct. Dave Seger, owner of Dave's Customs Unlimited (DCU) in Fruita, Colorado, did just that with his LS-1-equipped, leaf-sprung front, and four-linked rear 1991 YJ.inline_mediumwraptextright00Dave Seger of Fruita, Colorado, built his '91 Jeep Wrangler YJ to be a fun trail-crawler, but it's also served as a test rig for the many bolt-on and build parts he sells at his 4x4 shop, Dave's Customs Unlimited (DCU).Left Front Angle28546619/features/jeep/1010_4wd_1991_jeep_wrangler_yj1010_4wd_01+1991_jeep_wrangler_YJ+left_front_angle.jpgtrue

A Salvaged TJ Unlimited Half-Top Built To ExploreBurnsville Off-Road is also Burnsville Auto Body. As such, the crew there comes across deals all the time, one of which was a red 2006 TJ Unlimited (LJ) with only 3,900 miles on it. It had extensive frame and body damage and a salvage title. Besides the body and frame, everything else on this loaded LJ was fine, so a new body and frame was procured from Jeep and the work began.inline_mediumwraptextright00Rock Crawling28540106/features/jeep/1010_4wd_2006_jeep_wrangler_tj_unlimited1010_4wd_01+2006_jeep_wrangler_TJ_unlimited+rock_crawling.jpgtrue
