The Jeep Cherokee a true Jeep?

Among Jeep fans there often is the discussion if anything apart from CJ´s and Wranglers are real Jeeps.

The most common other specie being the Cherokee family.


It started off 1974 with the SJ Chief Cherokee or better known as the Wagoneer

then followed up by the Bestseller XJ in 1984, before the big brother Grand Cherokee joined the Team.


With its very famous 4.0 L 6 cylinder the XJ Cherokee is still wide spread and lead the Company into a new era of commercial Jeeps.



Coming back to the questions real Jeep or Not I think it is very silly to even argue. And although I do not like the brand new designs of the most recently released vehicles by Jeep I still believe that the most important factor is the off-road capabilities and spirit of adventure.

As long as a Jeep vehicle includes both these factors the heritage will live on.

The best Jeep commercial?

I still think this is the best commercial not only for the brand Jeep but also in the entire Car industry.
It says everything that Jeep fans want and are.
Enjoy this one and feel free to leave your thought in the comments area below.


Manifesting the Jeep of your Dreams

I have been a Jeep freak so so long that I can´t really remember when it started. Going back I would probably say it was when my oldest brother had a Jeep Wrangler TJ.

I have been working in the area of web marketing and design for a couple of years now and am still without my dream Jeep (you will get to know which one it is).

By creating this blog I am trying to manifest the Jeep I dream about so often. I also use the time I spend looking at Jeeps and share pictures, videos, articles or anything that has to do with Jeeps in a creative and very productive way.

I bet many of my friends will be happy to see me starting this blog as I keep hearing "all you share or talk about is Jeeps!"

Well yes that is true but let´s be honest, Jeeps are really bloody awesome. You have to be a Jeep freak. Many Jeepers will totally agree with me there.

However I invite anyone to take part in this blog and add you comments to any post that is shared here. You are also welcome to send me ideas or wishes for topics or posts.

Now enjoy posts about the 4x4 Brand that keeps so many people fascinated.
