    Jeep is turning to celebs for a Wrangler customization contest

    Customizing a Jeep Wrangler is essentially a must-do event for any owner.

  • Custom Jeep Wrangler 6x6

    For former Atlanta Braves outfielder Andruw Jones, a regular Jeep Wrangler was simply not enough. Instead, he had Atlanta-based Monster Customs create a 6x6 complete with a Hemi V-8 engine and pickup bed. Now, the creation is for sale. Motor Cars of Atlantahas posted the brutish SUV-turned-pickup for sale, and the vehicle has a lot going for it—and it certainly won't be mistaken for anything else in traffic. The old 3.6-liter V-6 engine was tossed aside in favor of a 6.4-liter V-8, and a six-speed automatic now handles shifting duties over the original five-speed unit. The truck-bed...

    The Italian police know how to fill out their garage. If you were to take a peek in the motor pool, you'd find a Lamborghini Huracán and an Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. Those are both great for the streets, but Italy's finest also need a proper ride for patrolling the beaches of the big...

    Bruiser Conversions made a V-8-powered Jeep Wrangler 6x6

    What is it about an increased wheel count that puts a smile on our face? It must be the ridiculous idea of a road car packing six-wheel drive, not to mention all the engineering required to make it work. Putting engine power out to all that extra rolling mass is no easy job though, but Bruiser...

  • 2018 Jeep Wrangler first drive, Tucson, Arizona

    With anticipation comes expectations. Before venturing to Tucson, Arizona, to experience the 2018 Jeep Wrangler, we assumed that it would be more refined, more livable, more comfortable, more efficient, and more feature-laden. And it delivers all those superlatives. But what we also expected was compromise. If Jeep can make a Wrangler a viable daily driver, it simply cannot be as capable off-road.
