    The Best Wrangler Ever

    Jeep is making no bones about it: the new Wrangler is the best off-roader it’s ever made. But as Britain prepares for its arrival this September, can the new JL model do enough to justify what’s going to be a hefty price tag?

    Hell, Yeah!

    The new Jeep Wrangler arrives on British roads (and trails) ready to assert itself as an off-road champion. It brings new engines, new drivetrains, new tech... and a paint colour called Hella Yella. In the face of a steep set of prices, will Britain’s 4x4 buyers Just Say No...

    Like Father, Like Son

    Cameron Walker used to run a modified Suzuki Jimny, while his dad ran a modified Jeep Wrangler. It took five years for him to come round to his old man’s way of thinking… but when he did, the result was one of the smartest, cleverest and most unique TJs the...

    Think Big

    Most Jeep Wranglers nowadays come to Britain with a diesel engine up front. Petrol power has come back to the fore in the last couple of years, however – though even Jeep’s most ambitiously specced showroom models come nowhere near the scope of this 6.4-litre Hemi-powered Rubicon recently built by...

    Seasonal Adjustment

    Jason Pettit’s Jeep Wrangler has winter and summer modes – the latter featuring the sort of roof and doors rarely seen in the UK. It’s ready to flay the star-spangled banner off-road at any time of year, however – especially if it gives its owner the chance to cause some...

    Wild Thing

    Nene Overland has long been associated with Land Rovers. But the company’s Wild Wrangler is an example of the approach it has taken to becoming a Jeep specialist. Showcasing the range of equipment it now imports from American Adventure Vehicles, this 2008-model JK Unlimited shows what can be achieved when...

    Bright Future

    Jeeps have always been a bit of a left-field choice for modifying in the UK. Having suffered from being too similar to the Land Rover Defender, however, the demise of the Solihull warhorse means it’s now time for the Wrangler to emerge from the shadow of its old rival and...

    Original Grin

    Not many 4x4 manufacturers still make ‘halo’ vehicles in the same mould as the trucks they built in their early days. Despite having so many newer, softer products these days, Jeep is a company that truly bucks that trend.

    Relaxation The Wrangler Way

    Off-roading can be a pretty full-on business, but at the end of the day we all do it for fun. So when your doctor’s told you to start relaxing more, don’t head for the spa: head for a quarry…

    Two Into One

    The Jeep Wrangler YJ and Isuzu Trooper Mk2 were two of the many great off-road vehicles the early 1990s gave the world. You wouldn’t normally think of them as prime candidates for building a hybrid, though – unless, like Richard Alder, you’ve got pro-level knowledge of the secrets they share...

    Such Sweet Sorrow...

    Parting is such sweet sorrow, as any Shakespeare buff will tell you. For Steve Ransom, the end of his marriage brought a renewed friendship with his ex-wife – and, more to the point, she needed something with better mileage than the Jeep Wrangler they’d built together.

    WORKSHOP: Fixing a Jeep – using Land Rover UJs

    In the endless war of words between Land Rover fans and, well, pretty much everyone else, one of the most common battle grounds is the subject of parts. Landy fans will point out that parts for everything else cost ten times as much: everyone else will reply that that doesn’t matter because they hardly ever need them.

    May The Force Be With You

    Dave Knapp's Jeep Grand Cherokee is nicknamed ' Vader' by his friends. Thats because of its slotted steering guard as opposed to any innate evil tendencies, but its a menacing looker nonetheless. With its long-arm suspension, though, it performs off-road with a much agility as the Dark Lord giving Obi...

    Not Born To Follow

    There are plenty of modified Jeep Wranglers in the world – even in the UK, if you go looking. Not many of them are YJs, though, and fewer still have airbrushed bodywork to go with their off-road prep.

    Fit For Purpose

    When we put a picture of Chris Warden’s TJ on our Facebook page, someone called it boring. Mind you, they also called it a Land Rover. It’s neither of those things – though it probably is fair to say that it’s less showy most of the Wranglers you see people building.

    Home From Home

    Nick Albion describes his Jeep Grand Cherokee as an  ‘armchair off-roader.’ With 50,000 road miles to do every  year, on top of needing to be able to access some of the most remote working locations in the country, he’s entitled to a bit of comfort.

    Richard Morsley had already owned a succession of 4x4s, all of them from Land Rover. But then he decided to head west across the Atlantic and buy a Jeep Cherokee instead. A great way to stand out from the crowd, sure – but how much off-road ability did he sacrifice...

    Cherokee and Proud

    You could argue that the Grand Cherokee on the previous article is more heavily modified than it really needs to be for overland travel. But you’d never say the same about Tony Willetts’ Cherokee, which remains a daily driver – as well as taking part in monthly winch challenges, and...

    Jeep’s resurgence is good news for all sorts of reasons, most of all that you can still get a Wrangler in the UK. Better yet, the Rubicon model is still available here – indeed, it can now be ordered in long-wheelbase form, too, or even with left-hand drive.

    Jeep Cherokee ♦ Vehicle Test ♦

    The third generation of Jeep’s original 4x4 wagon is no longer a Discovery rival in terms of price, kit or luxury. But suddenly there’s a range of tarmac-bashers trading on the brand’s iconic status – meaning the Cherokee can at last concentrare more on being a proper off-roader.
