“Techno Jeep” Gets Second Life Online

Posted on April 11, 2012 by baysideadmin

Over 2 years ago, Julian Smith of Julian Smith TV uploaded his music video “Techno Jeep” to YouTube. Recently, however, the video has seen a resurgence of sorts, and this inventive and infectious video has been making the rounds again.

“Techno Jeep” is a techno song performed using parts of a Jeep. Anything is game from a percussive door slam to the clicking locks and the revving engine. According to the description of the video, the musicians rehearsed for 2 weeks before shooting the video, and they shot for 7 hours until they got the perfect single-shot take. You can watch the video here:

A free ringtone version of the song is also available for free here.

Most of the viewers who responded to “Techno Jeep” have been surprised that Jeep would inspire a filmmaker and a group of musicians to make such a creative tribute to a car brand. It shouldn’t be so surprising, though. Jeep has a history of devoted fans and continues to reward their loyalty with fantastic new cars year after year. Hopefully more fans will be inspired by“Techno Jeep” and we will see more Jeep-themed music and videos in 2012.

Building the Jeep Wrangler: A Look Inside

Posted on April 5, 2012 by baysideadmin

Jeep might have a rough-and-tumble public image to maintain, but there is careful craftsmanship put into their popular Wranglers. Last month, the official Jeep blog took a look inside the Jeep Wrangler Assembly Facility in Toledo, Ohio and saw how Wranglers come together.

The Toledo assembly facility is quite impressive. Every day, the 2,500 workers produce 720 Wranglers, and while the workers do have state-of-the-art equipment, there is quite a bit of work done by hand. For example, the plant’s quality specialist Diego pointed out, “The craftsmanship of a windshield – a machine just can’t do, so we do it by hand.”

Despite their high level of production, their assembly facility is working incredibly hard to keep up with demand for Jeep Wranglers. Currently, they are running at maximum capacity, but there are few complaints from Diego who quipped, “Not many people can say, ‘hey, I’ve got a problem, I can’t build enough cars.’” It is a testament to how popular the Jeep Wrangler has become in recent years and how many loyal fans come back to the Wrangler when shopping for a new car.

To see the full photo tour of the plant, check out the original story on the Jeep blog here, and keep up with the latest news from Jeep by following Bayside on Facebook and Twitter.

Jeep Compass

Posted on January 17, 2012 by baysideadmin

Fans of the Grand Cherokee will find much to love about the Jeep Compass Sport. Not only is it’s rugged look inspired by the Grand Cherokee but it also includes many features that any adventurous driver will want to have reminding me of the Jeep Wrangler. From the classic grille with its seven slots and the trapezoidal wheel openings, down to the trademark round headlamps one associates with the brand. It’s a sight to see driving anywhere, be it on the highway to Atlantic City or just going out for the night in Queens.
This all weather SUV has a 2.0 liter engine allowing horsepower of 158 @ 6400 RPM with 16 valves and a sequential multi-point fuel injection. Drivers will be able to get 23 miles per gallon while driving in the city like New York, Queens, or the Bronx, but for the outdoors types that choose the 4×4 model, they will be getting 29 MPG with a cavernous 13.6 gallon fuel tank allowing drivers to go 394 miles on a full tank. The Jeep Compass Sport also features a high level of standard refinement for that interior that includes such things as air conditioning, power windows, and locks. The steering wheel itself includes fingertip control of audio and a hands free phone. If that’s not enough, then a fingertip cruise control is also available. To also aid the driver, the Jeep Compass Sport also has remote key-less and illuminated entry and LED illuminated cup holders. Other features that may bring in the outdoors man is the Garmin navigation that has access to the SiriusXM Travel Link that shows real-time gas prices, a weather radar map, and even has sports, traffic, and movie schedules.

It’s a sight to see driving anywhere, be it on the highway to Atlantic City or just going out for the night in Queens.

If safety is a concern, then the Jeep Compass Sport has it covered. It has been designed to keep the driver and the passengers safe in the event of an accident. With over 30 Safety and Security features including occupant sensing airbags, electronic stability, and anti-whiplash front head restraints, you can be assured that the Jeep Compass Sport is designed with safety in mind. An example of this hard work that was put into the features is the side guard door beams that, if in the event of a side impact, give additional protection. There’s also the three point lap and shoulder belts on all seats.
