Here are some more information for Rear Jeep:

The Jeep Patriot was awarded top honors by the Texas Auto Writers organization as the Compact SUV of Texas. This was one of the most challenging of the various categories at the Truck Rodeo. Other categories included full-size trucks, heavy-duty trucks, luxury SUV's, and others. The Truck Rodeo pitted over 40 off-road capable vehicles utilizing a very difficult network of ranch roads, creeks, and rocks down in the Texas Hill Country.

"This is certainly an honor for Jeep," said Michael Manley, President and Chief Executive Officer - Jeep Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. "We're proud the Patriot proved its off-road prowess at the Texas Truck Rodeo. The Trail Rated® Jeep Patriot 4x4 is hands down the most capable and affordable SUV in the compact segment."

Following the Texas Truck Rodeo in San Antonio, the brand-new Patriot spent a long week with my wife and I. We were among the lucky journalists to test drive it for a much longer period of time.

Generally speaking, the 2010 Patriot has not changed much from the 2009 model. It is among the least expensive off-road vehicles on the market. The Freedom Drive off-road package includes a low range with a continuously variable transmission. This allows the crawling mode in severe off-road conditions and is referred to a being Trail Rated. The Patriot also offers hill-descent control and brake traction control. The Off-Road package includes break-over angles, a full nine inches of ground clearance, and adequate body sealing to ford up to 19 inches of water.

The Patriot certainly lives up to its Jeep heritage and receives plenty of accolades as being an authentic off-road vehicle. Our test model was a distinctive lime-green color that was easy to spot in a crowd of cars. It was very comfortable on the highway and on several short road trips. Judy commented about how attractive and functional the interior was for the driver and passengers. This is not a luxury vehicle, but it is very road-worthy and useful for day-to-day purposes. There have been repeated complaints about the rear seats not being very comfortable, although we never did try them out ourselves.

The Jeep Patriot is a great off-road capable vehicle for the price and gets good highway mileage as well. It averages near 28 to 29 mpg, which is about the best for the low priced off-road 4x4 SUV's. The standard model comes with 17-inch all-terrain tires, a full-size spare tire, skid plates, tow hooks, and fog lamps.

Bottom line - the Jeep Patriot has been designed for customers that are looking for year-round versatility and good fuel economy, but want four-wheel-drive capability and a low purchase price. The Patriot's interior is up-to-date and the exterior is classic Jeep. You can find smoother rides, better seating, and more comfort, but you will have to pay for it. If you are not planning to spend much time off the beaten path, this might not be the optimum vehicle for you. But with its legendary Jeep off-road capability, the Patriot offers a combination of freedom, fun, and utility.

Check out the Jeep Patriot yourself at a Chrysler dealership and see why the Texas Auto Writers named it as their 2009 Compact SUV of the Year.

What to Expect on the Jeep Trailhawk Production Model

Car fans across the world, especially those who are interested and starving for a new off-road vehicle are waiting for the production model of Chrysler Group's latest on- and off-road concept, the Jeep Trailhawk.

Unveiled at the 2007 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) early in January, the Jeep Trailhawk concept "merges the spectrum of the Jeep brand by combining the core off-road features of the new body-on-frame four-door Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with the refined sophistication of an all-new on-road open-air concept vehicle, providing a unique and fresh expression for Jeep", according to the Auburn Hills-based automaker.

Chrysler Group released the full details of the Jeep Trailhawk concept at NAIAS. Customers should expect the technical specs and features describe at the show to be installed on the production model of the vehicle. Chrysler Group did not release the exact time frame for the production version though.

The overall appearance of the Jeep Trailhawk concept embodies the traditional Jeep classic style along with new design cues like the open top roof resembling roof styling found on convertible coupe models. The Trailhawk concept features a bold and aggressive exterior body and has a long 116-inch wheelbase. Other exterior features include, stretched fender flares, tall trapezoidal vent, HID projector beam quad lamps, cross-car instrument panel, signature seven-slot Jeep grille, LED park and turn signals, four cup holders, sliding Jeep Load ‘N Go cargo tray drop-down tailgate, and large 22-inch five-spoke wheels. The left and right lamps show the eyes of a bird of prey, that is why the designers called the vehicle Trailhawk.

Weary

The Jeep Trailhawk comes with interior space for four passengers with premium leather seats. The two-tone leather-wrapped aluminum steering wheel offers an exciting driving feel wheter it is on- or off-road. Other interior features of the Jeep Trailhawk concept include steering wheel mounted switches and controls, remote control fold-away flat screen navigation unit, two front and rear armrest, storage bin modules, and a premium audio system with MP3 capability.

On the technical side, customers should expect a 3.0-liter BLUETEC CRD engine under the hood of the Jeep Trailhawk. The engine pumps out 215 hp at 4,000 rpm produces 376 lb.-ft. amount of peak torque at 1,600-2,800 rpm. To cool off the engine, a radiator with Jeep fan shroud will be included. The engine is coupled with a 5-speed automatic gearbox to power the four-wheel-drive (4WD) drivetrain configuration of the Trailhawk concept. Suspension parts come with a front axle with 4 bar links, and rear axle with 5-bar links.

You should expect these specs and features on the production model of Jeep Trailhawk when it rolls out anytime soon.

Jeep cherokee rear differential humming noise?

The rear differential on my jeep cherokee makes a loud humming noise when i accelerate. it gets even louder when i make a left turn? whats the problem and how much should it cost?

Sounds like the ring&pinion gear. Jeeps are expensive to repair ! Take it to a qualified mechanic ! Might be cheaper to get a rear-end asy. from a salvage yard.

Training, quick thinking help men save driver
Joe Palmer and Hudson Smith were not the first motorists to spot a wrecked, flaming Jeep off Interstate 75.
