The Cutest Little Jeep You Ever Did See

Posted on by

Usually, when people think of Jeep, they think of the military and tough ruggedness. After seeing this Jeep listed for sale on eBay and featured over on Jalopnik, we are still in shock. Who knew that a Jeep could be so darn cute?

This 1953 Custom Willys 8X8 Overland has the typical green camouflage color and a white strip and star on the side. The interior could use a bit of work, and while it is a great restoration job by fabricator Dick Cook, pulling parts from 3 Willys Jeeps, there are plenty of great restored cars available for sale on eBay. What caught our interest was its 8 wheels, turning it from a tough Jeep into a vehicle as cute as a bug.

In their video from the eBay posting, the seller showed off all eight wheels and boasted, “There will never be another one of these…We’ve built a centipede.” You can view the full video below:

Right now, bidding for the car is at $8,705.00, though the bidding reserve has not yet been met. If you want to check out the bidding or see more pictures of this adorable Jeep, head over to the eBay posting here.

New Jeep Patriot Altitude Announced

Posted on by

The Jeep Patriot seems to be mad that so many other vehicles such as the Dodge Dart and the Grand Cherokee are stealing its thunder. A new announcement is bound to bring the spotlight back on it, though.

This stems from the winning name of the Jeep “Name My Ride” contest. The name Altitude was officially awarded for the new fully decked out vehicle. The Wrangler, Compass, and Grand Cherokee have already gotten their similar Altitude editions, but the Patriot makes sure to bring a unique flair to the design.

The Jeep Patriot Altitude has the driver speeding down the street and over any off-road obstacles on 17-inch high-gloss black aluminum wheels. The Patriot Altitude has a subtle shine thanks to the chrome and polished steel on the lower fascia, the rear step pad appliques, and a bright polished steel roof rails.

This novel design work isn’t just on the outside, but also extends into the interior. Features that the Altitude puts into the interior design includes features like a leather-wrapped steering wheel and audio controls, premium Cubic/Duet cloth bucket seats. Buyers have the choice of a standard four-speaker system or, if they want more bang for their buck, there’s the Boston Acoustics Premium Sound System with a 368-watt amplifier.

The Jeep Patriot Altitude is available for a limited time only, so make sure to get into Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge for a test drive. You can view the entire line-up of Jeep products on the online showroom as well. Be sure to like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter for up to date news on Jeep.

Jeep Wrangler Freedom Edition Pays Tribute to the US Military

Posted on by

Jeep is planning on paying tribute to the US Military by introducing a new version of the popular Jeep Wrangler.

Allpar.com has a full run down of the new 2012 Jeep Wrangler Freedom Edition. Being based on the Wrangler Sport, the new Freedom Edition will come in a choice of either two door or a four door. As far as visuals go, there will be three colors and those are deep cherry red, bright white, and true blue. These colors are exclusive just to the Wrangler Freedom. That’s not all it will offer in visual flair as the Jeep comes with graphics that include a star decal right on the hood and in the back complete with the words “Oscar Mike” on the fender badge. Anyone who has played a military video game in the past decade knows, “Oscar Mike” means “on the move.”

The insides of the Wrangler Freedom also offer something unique and different. It will have black seats with a tectonic fabric. “Oscar Mike” also sneaks its way inside to be a logo embroidered on the seat backs and in silver stitching. The steering wheel, front arm rest, and the doors will have a french silver accent stitching. Satin Chrome spokes on the steering wheel along with a Mopar Slush Mat finish up the package.

There’s an added bonus to the sales of the Jeep Wrangler Freedom Edition. For every one sold, Jeep will be putting $250 towards an important charitable organization the will benefit both current and returning military members.

Jeep has always had something to offer everyone. If you’re in the mind to give back to our service men and women and have something in return, it seems the Freedom Edition is custom made just for you.
