2013 Jeep Wrangler on 2040-cars
Adirondack, New York, United States
EXTERIOR:
This Rubicon has the factory hard top and factory T-Tops, all of which have been painted Billet Silver to match. For those warm summer days you can remove the hard top and install the black Gear Shade mesh top which covers the entire roof top opening for sun protection. In addition to the factory hard doors, this Jeep ALSO comes with $3,000 Rugged Ridge half doors with soft uppers. Of course these doors have been painted Billet Silver to match and come complete with rear view mirrors and inner door hinges and handles. These are complete drop in half doors and can be installed in less than 10 minutes. These doors have never been used. We did install them for one Rugged Ridge photo shoot but they were removed the following day and have not been touched since. The lift kit is a 6" Terra Flex long arm system. In addition there is a 1.5" body lift AND 2.5" coil spacers by Terra Flex for a total lift of 10". The wheels are 17" Rugged Ridge Drakon series with 2" billet spacers and are wrapped in 40-13.50-17 Toyo M/T Open Country tires. The hood is Rugged Ridge's latest performance vented hood with ventilated heat escape grills and aggressive upper hood scoops. You will notice we removed the factory RUBICON hood lettering and installed the BEACH KRAWLER lettering in the same location using the same font and same original letter coloring too. The fenders are by Bushwacker of which we obviously painted billet silver to match. Look closely and you will notice the custom clear marker lights which we custom made to fit in the front outer fender locations. There's a full custom Rugged Ridge front bumper with Rigged Ridge bumper end caps, Rugged Ridge front pre runner tubular bumper, Rugged Ridge 10,500 pound winch and Rugged Ridge tow hooks etc. For those dark off road trails in the dead of night, rest assured you will NOT have a lack of visibility. This Jeep has been outfitted with a full over roof Rugged Ridge light rack. Of course, all painted billet silver to match. We even painted the windshield pillar mounts too. Basically the entire front end is all by Rugged Ridge. Look closely and you will notice our own custom made mesh grill. We made this in house and of course......... it too has been painted billet silver to match. The rear end is more of the same. Rugged Ridge rear bumper and end caps, Rugged Ridge rear tire carrier and swing arm and Rugged Ridge rear tow hooks, all color matched billet silver. There's a Hi Jack off road jack which we custom mounted to the right side of the rear tire carrier so as to accomodate fitment of the much larger 40" spare tire. For exterior lighting, everything on this Jeep facing forward is by JW Speaker. It has the very best JW speaker headlights money can buy along with JW speaker lower bumper running lights and JW speaker over roof lights along with JW speaker windshield mount lights as well. If you flick on all 10 lights you can transform any night time trail into a baseball stadium. Its THAT bright!!!! The rear tail lights are by In Pro Car and there's Rugged Ridge rear tail light covers as well (color matched billet silver). Due to this particular Jeeps extreme height, we added custom hydraulic drop steps by Amp Research. These automatically lower 10" the moment you open the door then shut once the door is closed. These drop steps have clear white LED lights to assist when stepping into or out of the vehicle at night. The rear view mirrors have Rugged Ridge mirror covers which have been painted billet silver to match. This Jeep has full custom blue neon exterior lighting as well which can be operated by remote key fob. Simply press the ON button on your remote fob to illuminate the lights and the OFF button to turn them off. Once activated by remote, the lights will stay illuminated for exactly 30 minutes then shut off on their own if you happen to forget. Our lighting specialist added blue strips along the lower frame rails to illuminate the under side of the Jeep. Up front we added one blue neon light under the front lower bumper and another up inside the front mesh grill so the entire front nose of the Jeep glows blue when illuminated. In the rear we added one blue strip along the lower bumper rail and a second blue strip inside the rear spare tire carrier. This causes the entire rear end of the Jeep to glow blue when illuminated. When you see this Jeep parked in a dark parking lot in the middle of the night with the running lights on and the blue neon's activated, it's absolutely bad ass. People flip out when they see this beast all lit up at night.
INTERIOR:
The most impressive and single handed biggest attribute to this Jeeps interior is: the ENTIRE floor board has been Rhino Lined. We removed the ENTIRE interior of this Jeep, all carpeting, seats, electrical, center console, side trim covers, floor board covers, everything was stripped from the Jeep. Once everything was removed, we had the entire interior flooring portion of this Jeep professionally Rhino Lined. This is essential to true off road enthusiasts who may plan on taking it in deep mud or wet conditions. No worry, just pop the drain plugs and hose out the inside of the Jeep. The Rhino Liner protects everything and dramatically helps on road noise and rattling too. Jeeps are notorious for sounding tinny and picking up lot's of road noise and sound. NOT THIS JEEP!!! With the full coverage Rhino Lined floor, this thing rides smoother and with far less noise than you might think. The seats have been upgraded to custom 2-tone black on silver carbon fiber leather with silver double stitch piping thread. This was all custom designed by Katskin just for this vehicle so it's a perfect match and it looks amazing!! We custom painted the center console and numerous additional interior trim pieces. We added Rugged Ridge door sill inserts, Rugged Ridge grab handle covers and lower covers, all of which we painted billet silver to match. There's a custom gear shift lever and Rugged Ridge grab handles at every door. This Jeep has the factory Alpine premium sound system with CD and factory amp and sub. We ADDED a full custom built ported sub box in rear which houses one 12" Kicker sub woofer and is carpeted black to match. There's a 600 watt Kicker mono amp with adjustable bass knob mounted on the center console so you can adjust the level of bass anytime you want. This is a must have for different types of music. Rock and roll needs less bass where rap and club style music needs more. Simply adjust the knob to your liking and it dramatically helps the sub woofer work to it's full potential. And let me tell you....... this thing absolutely SLAMS!!! You can hear the bass coming from a mile away if you have the windows down and the bass cranked up high. Look closely at the speaker box and chances are you won't even know it's there. We did this for theft protection. Any would-be thief would have no idea there's an aftermarket system in this Jeep at first glance. The box is ported and slotted and the woofer fires downwards so even if you stand behind the Jeep with the rear hatch open, you can't see any speaker. Just a factory looking carpeted enclosure. Look closely and you will notice how we made a custom catch tray area on the upper portion of the box. This was designed to store personal belongings without having them fly off the box while driving. The beveled edges lend lateral support keeping your belongings in place.

2018 Jeep Compass Trailhawk Drivers' Notes Review | Trying to find its way
Fri, Mar 16 2018The Jeep Compass Trailhawk is the smaller sibling to the Cherokee off-roader. They look a lot alike, and generally that seems to be a good thing. We spent some time with it, both in Michigan and the Pacific Northwest. It seemed like the perfect little ute to tackle rain and late snow, as well as the cratered roads surrounding Detroit every spring. Here's what we thought after spending some quality time together: Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore: The Jeep Compass is one of the coolest compact crossovers you can buy. Jeep has struggled to translate its genetics into smaller models, but they come through in this one. The Trailhawk trim provides plenty of capability. Even if you don't need it on a daily basis, the package adds design flourishes like red tow hooks and a two-tone black roof, which look slick. Our test model's olive green paint also puts off a heritage vibe. I like that. It's subtle, like wearing a watch with a NATO band. The interior looks and feels premium, with leather seats, a leather-trimmed steering wheel and ambient lighting. Uconnect remains one of my favorite infotainment systems on the market, and its simplicity is an industry benchmark. The inline four-cylinder and nine-speed automatic transmission work well together. In fact, the smooth shifting surprises me, as I've had issues with this gearbox in other Fiat Chrysler vehicles. Overall, I would consider the Compass among the better options for car shoppers. It stands out in a segment that's fairly vanilla, though the less flashy but well-executed Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 are formidable. I wouldn't get the Trailhawk trim on a Compass, but it's smart of Jeep to push this kind of off-road capability thoughout its lineup. Associate Editor Joel Stocksdale: I've recently spent some time in the refreshed Jeep Cherokee, which I found to be a decent crossover, if not class-leading, and it had a distinctly truck-like feel, unlike its competitors. The Compass Trailhawk is just the same, except at about 2/3 scale. The truck-like feel is what really stood out. The seating position is very tall, giving you a good view forward and of the corners of the Compass. Combined with the small size, it makes it very easy to maneuver around town, and likely on tight trails. The ride on this Trailhawk model is a bit stiff over small bumps, but it does soak up the large ones fairly well. This suspension and the raised ride height also make the Compass seem a little tipsy.
Jeep Wrangler gets the wide-track treatment
Mon, 07 Jan 2013When we read the tip about a Gulf-state diplomat in Rabat, Morocco who had supposedly "merged two Jeep Wranglers," we figured the two off-roaders were somehow linked front-to-back. Oh no. As you can see in the image above, taken from video of that vehicle actually traveling down the road and needing more than one lane to do it, the two Jeeps were put together side-by-side.
The seriously widebody truck is said to have six wheels, one at each corner and two in the middle. That's about all anyone seems to know about it at the moment, and that's probably enough - in these situations you know better than to ask why, just watch the video below.
Crawling Moab in the 2015 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk [w/video]
Thu, Apr 9 2015The funny thing about the Renegade Trailhawk is that Jeep still feels the need to defend it. For the past 20 years, automakers have sent emissary vehicles outside the citadel walls surrounding their brand niche. In doing so, these companies found buyers eager to join the cult instead of an angry horde. With the kingdom successfully expanded, automakers had to build new walls to contain this broader identity. This is the story of Jeep's modern expansion, growing with new models while the faithful at the brand's center howl at every quest into broader market segments. Thirteen years after it busted out the Liberty and eight years after birthing the Compass and Patriot, you'd think the resistance to new Jeeps would subside. But no. It's 2015, and while nobody makes the slightest tantrum over BMW's new minivan (except for Sniff Petrol), the Renegade still has to fight its way through pitchforks and torches. Which is a long way of saying that this author is guilty of brand prejudice, too. When the company told us that we'd spend the first day of the Easter Jeep Safari driving seven awesome concepts and the second day driving the Renegade Trailhawk on Dome Point Trail, we could only think, "They giveth excitement, and they taketh it away." Our pessimism was later proven to be incorrect. Sharing the sentiment our colleague Brandon Turkus expressed after his Quick Spin, we found the Renegade to be "in a word, impressive." Dome Point will not trouble a kitted-out Wrangler, but in a compact SUV with on-road tires the rocky sections were chunky enough to require close attention to your lines or use a spotter. As instructed, we put the little 4x4 into the Selec-Terrain's Rock mode, and with common sense plus one eye on the man directing us with hand signals the Renegade climbed over everything with some wheelspin but little fuss. At the first rest point, we turned the car off to wait for vehicles behind. Not realizing that this resets the drive mode to Auto, we crawled through the next two rocky jumbles in the default setting. The result was the same: a bit of wheelspin climbing over thick steps, but an altogether drama-free passage. Auto mode can't use the engine throttle maps unique to each Selec-Terrain setting, but it doesn't hamper the Renegade's capability by much. On a steep bit of trail with a crest capped by stacked stone plinths, it took three tries to find the right line, but that's on us – the Renegade did more than expected.
