Everyone is talking about the new Jeep JT Gladiator, and with good reason. Not only is it new, it’s really cool on many different levels. It’s the first Jeep pickup truck to roll off the assembly line in more than 25 years, it has solid axles front and rear (unlike its mid-size truck competitors), and View the full article

Kolomy – who usually competes in the Truck class and is teammate to former WRC competitor Martin Prokop – rolled his Ford end-over-end in the sand dunes during a shakedown run. The car landed back on its wheels after a series of rollovers, with its nose wedged firmly against a dune. One of the medical helicopters from the Rally’s organisers quickly arrived at the scene of the crash. They ...Keep reading View the full article

Both Finnish drivers will tackle all 13 rounds of this year’s series, while Gus Greensmith gets nine rounds aboard a Ford Fiesta WRC. M-Sport's decision to sign Lappi to the car Elfyn Evans vacated in favour of a Toyota drive closes out the final factory seat in the WRC in 2020. Lappi, who lost his seat when Citroen departed the WRC after last season, won his first rally title – the 2012 ...Keep reading View the full article

Disjointed U-Joint U-joints are used on drivelines and front axleshafts in order to transfer power at an angle. There are two schools of thought on U-joints. Some people want the strongest ones possible, while others feel that they are easier to swap out than a broken differential and make a good fusible link. The G2 View the full article

Given the vast improvements the JL Wrangler brings to the table, it’s little wonder Jeep is still selling ever four-door Wrangler it can manufacture. But not everybody who purchases a new JL Wrangler wants to View the full article

There are many different levels of Jeep dedication, from the guys that restore old flatfenders to those that build hardcore rockcrawlers with only a Jeep grille, and everything in between.

Hi, I'm Tom Shipley. I've been working with Axleboy Offroad to help them with their marketing efforts over the last year, and for 2020, we've landed on a big idea to get the word out about Axleboy Offroad throughout the St. Louis region and we're going to do a special custom build of a brand new 2020 Jeep Gladiator. So this series of videos is going to take you along for the ride. As we first take delivery of the Gladiator, we're going to do a walk around and we're going to assess everything that it has when it comes right off the dealer's lot and we're going to talk through all the things that we're going to do to make that Gladiator bespoke for our needs. It's not going to be designed to be a rock crawler, but it's not necessarily a mall crawler either. We want it to be the right vehicle for the outdoor enthusiast that has an outdoor lifestyle. They like to fish, they like to camp, they like to paddle. They might like to mountain bike or even go on trail runs. The spec of the Gladiator is going to be designed to stand out because we want to get the word out about Axleboy and we want to make an impact, but we also want it to be purpose-built. And at the end of the project, it's going to be a higher quality build and a more custom build than anything you could order directly from the dealer. And Scott Carline is going to talk to us about all the things to look for and all the things that need to be upgraded now, some of the things that can be upgraded later so that we have a fantastic build that stands out and meets the needs of the outdoor enthusiasts. So make sure to click the subscribe button and follow us here on YouTube. And as soon as that next video gets published, you can watch it right away and continue with us on this road to the ultimate 2020 Jeep Gladiator Axleboy Offroad build. View the full article -
