It seems like an Australian Jeep campaign where participants could win a chance to buy a Cherokee for $10,000 has pissed a few people off.

When the new 2014 Jeep Cherokee was designed, Jeep drivetrain engineers knew that Jeep customers expect their vehicles to be capable and come with a true low-range. Not only did they do that, but this FWD-based drivetrain architecture features a true locking rear, a true low-range gear ratio, and the trail performance expected out of a Jeep product.

Chrysler-Fiat is looking to expand its Jeep brand into the Chinese market and we’ve already seen what a JK will probably end up looking like there. However, there is a rumor that there will be more than just JKs imported to the People’s Republic.

Jeep still seems to be ironing out a few kinks in that nine-speed automatic transmission featured in the new Cherokee.

Jeep introduced several prototype vehicles for the annual Easter Jeep Safari at Moab, UT. The Jeep Cherokee Dakar may not be a JK, but this is the most modified Cherokee out there, currently. While Mopar says the lift kit isn’t available, let’s see what could be done if someone were to brave a warranty void and create the ultimate “KL” chassis.

I’ve heard about some amazing stories of survival in a Jeep, but hearing about Andy Wallace’s recent ordeal in a Grand Cherokee is certainly one of the most chilling ones I’ve heard in a while. The North Carolina resident was recently caught in a category-two tornado that lifted his Jeep in the air as he was trying to escape the storm that completely destroyed his home.

Jeep and Mopar have teamed up to introduce six concept models that will likely have Jeep enthusiasts considering even more custom options to tackle those trails. Then again, that’s really second nature when it comes to owning a Jeep, right? Still, the Jeeps, which made their official debut at the annual Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, should up the ante even more. From a Wrangler bearing the code name “Level Red”, to an up-fitted Cherokee painted in Satin Silver, the Jeeps feature a range of custom features aimed at enhancing the thrill of off-roading.
