Lenny Kravitz Pitches… The Jeep Wrangler?

Not too long ago, Lenny Kravitz was cutting-edge cool. His music spanned the gap between rock, soul, funk and reggae, and Kravitz was a master at being in just the right place at just the right time. Over his career he’s racked up four Grammys (out of seven nominations), a few MTV and VH1 awards, appeared in four films and released eight CDs. He’s touring with U2 this summer, and he’s also working with Chrysler to pitch the Jeep Wrangler. Watch the video starring Kravitz and the Jeep Wrangler below. Read more…

Jeep Teases New Concepts For Moab Jeep Safari

Every year Jeep and Mopar work together to launch concept vehicles at the annual Moab Easter Jeep Safari. Last year we saw eight concepts, ranging from the mild (like the stripped but rugged Wrangler J7) to the wild (like the Jeep Nukizer pickup that everyone, myself included, wants to see in production). This year, Jeep has dialed things back a notch, perhaps because the budget is quite a bit tighter than in years past. Jeep’s leaked two images of Moab vehicles, but I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if they showed up with more at the event. So far, the coolest looking ride is the Pork Chop concept you see above. Ideal for blasting through sandstone canyons in springtime, the Pork Chop would be a bit drafty for winter duty in the Northeast. I’m loving the whole minimalist look, but I’m really digging the Torque Thrust style wheels, which look sick on the bare-bones Jeep. I say throw a bikini top on it and call it done; hell, I’d even give it some serious thought, since it’s not like we get snow in Jacksonville. Read more…
