The 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee was a major launch of Chrysler; the first after the departure of Cerberus and Daimler, it represented what was to come, with far higher standards for the new engine, the suspension, and the interior. Journalists almost universally praised the new Grand Cherokee, which swept numerous awards and put Chrysler back on the map.
The standard engine is the smooth 290 horsepower Pentastar V6, which gets just 1 mile per gallon less than the diesel-powered Mercedes ML350. The Hemi is optional across the board, and Europeans have a new 237-hp VM Motori 3-liter V6 diesel; all use the W5A580 five-speed transmission. Thanks to the Hemi option, the V6 has a large engine bay, with around five inches in front of the serpentine belt. For 2012, Hemi models move to a six speed automatic; various wheel and option package changes were made, as well.

The 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee new V6 increases highway gas mileage to 23 mpg highway (22 mpg with 4x4) — over 500 miles per tank — though city mileage fell 1 mpg. The interior provides over four inches of increased rear-seat knee and leg room, and 17 percent more cargo volume (as released first on allpar.com). Numerous safety features are standard, and options include Blind-spot/Rear Cross-path detection and Adaptive Cruise Control with Forward Collision Warning, along with FloTV, satellite TV, and Internet router. All three trim levels can be ordered with Trail Rated configurations.
The Laredo includes keyless entry, stability control with anti-roll, hill start assist, trailer sway control, side curtain airbags for both rows, active head restraints, power driver's seat, fog lamps, leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, satellite radio, and 17-inch aluminum wheels; the 360 horsepower Hemi V8 will be optional. That model starts at $32,995.

Jeep compass limited 2011 pictures,..The 2011 Compass features a new look, inspired by the Grand Cherokee. Its exterior styling cues incorporate the classic Jeep seven-slot grille with Chrome surround, new headlamps, new front fenders, new hood, and new fascias.
The 2011 Jeep® Compass 4x2 offers up to 29 mpg. The 4x4 models offer up to 28 mpg (unsurpassed in its segment). With an EPA estimated 28 highway miles per gallon - so you take your adventure even longer. This fuel economy performance helps Compass attain up to 340 miles on a tank-full of gasoline)..
The 2011 Compass will get a new face, nicer cabin materials, a new suspension, and a new, off-road-oriented optional AWD system. The most obvious changes are up front, where the Compass receives a new hood, fascia, fenders, grille, and headlights. The result looks like a Grand Cherokee that shrunk in the wash and gained an upswept grin; it’s more attractive than the gawky look of the outgoing model. The family resemblance is of course deliberate, and Jeep jokingly calls this the “Grand” Compass.

Jeep compass limited 2011,.. As for mechanicals, the Compass benefits from similar suspension upgrades as seen on the 2011 Patriot (and the 2011 Dodge Caliber, another platform-mate); these include higher-rate springs and shock absorbers, as well as a thicker rear anti-roll bar. There’s also a new All-Weather Capability package, which equips the SUV with Goodyear all-terrain tires, an engine-block heater, tow hooks, daytime running lights, and all-weather floor mats so your carpet won’t get all mussed when you drive your Compass in a typhoon, which is nice.
There are no powertrain changes: A 158-hp, 2.0-liter four-cylinder is standard on base and Latitude models, while a 172-hp, 2.4-liter unit is optional on those two trims and standard on the Limited. A five-speed manual is standard on the entry-level Compass, with a continuously variable transmission being optional; the CVT is standard for Latitude and Limited models.

2011 Jeep Unlimited 70th Anniversary Editions, There’s a good chance that many of you readers already know, but we just have to brag: 2011 marks the 70th anniversary of the Jeep® brand. That’s right, we’ve been making these iconic vehicles for seven decades, ever since the early days of when Jeep vehicles were in action on World War II battlefields. We think Jeep Brand President and CEO, Mike Manley best described our vehicles when he said, “Since they were first produced in 1941, Jeep vehicles have been the authentic benchmark for off-road capability, having mastered more terrain, led more adventures and provided drivers more freedom than any other vehicle before or since.” Yep, that about sums it up.
Of course we’re going to celebrate this momentous milestone. In our Jan. 10 press release, we announced the addition of the Limited 70th Anniversary Edition models. Here’s a quick run-down of what you can expect from us by this spring, model by model.

Jeep YJ Wrangler Renegade ...... From 1991 until 1994, Jeep produced an options package on the YJ Wrangler listed as the "Renegade Decor Group". Initially, all Renegades were White, Black or Red. In 1992, Blue was added, in 1993, Bronze. The Renegade Decor Group was a $4,266.00 option over a base Wrangler in 1991 and included special alloy wheels, exclusive body flares, along with many other features.

A hardtop was a $923.00 option and came with a mandatory rear window defroster at a $164.00 premium. Although soft-top models came standard with "half doors", full framed doors with glass windows were an option. Renegades typically had the tilt steering wheel ($130.00) and an AM/FM/cassette stereo radio ($264.00). A column shift automatic was also an available option, but it was not popular. While a base Wrangler with the inline-6 went for $12,356.00, the Renegade package pushed that price up to $18,588.00 in 1991.
These vehicles were sent as optioned Wranglers to Auto Style Cars in Detroit, where the Renegade Decor Package was installed, then shipped back to Jeep for delivery to dealers. Renegades all have a small sticker on the driver's side door, right above the latch denoting the visit to ASC.
At the price premium over a standard Wrangler, sales were fairly limited, so finding one today is a semi-rare occurrence. The price, plus what hardcore Jeepers felt were "funny looking plastic fenders" limited the sales. Although having nearly identical off-road capabilities, these Jeep were typically used as "beach cruisers" because of their price and rarity, as well as because their over sized flares and body cladding were not necessarily designed for the abuse that tree branches and over-sized tires can often cause.

The Willys M38 US Army Jeep, replaced the World War II models known as MB and GPW. It was a 1/4 Ton 4 x 4 Utility Truck manufactured between 1950-1952 with a total production of 45,473 units. The Willys M38 was based on the civilian model CJ3A. Willys designated it an MC. However, this version carried a beefier frame and suspension than the CJ3A. Some were assigned to the Korean theatre of operations and after that conflict was over in the mid 1950s, they were manufactured for export overseas.
Willys M38 Equipment
Its windshield could be folded flat for firing and the body was equipped with a pintle hook for towing and lifting shackles front and rear. The headlights were no longer recessed as on previous models, but protruded with a guard wire in front. The "pioneer" tools (axe and shovel) which were carried on the MB's driver side were transferred to the passenger side of this vehicle.
Willys M38 Dimensions
It weighed 2750# (3950# on road -gross) and had an 80" wheelbase. The Willys M38 had a ground clearance of 9 1/4", a 74" height (top up) a width of 62" and a length of 133".
Engine Willys M38
* Bore/Stroke: 3.125" x 4.375"
* Compression Ratio: 6.48:1
* Displacement: 134.2 Cubic Inches
* Torque: 105 Ft Lb @2000 RPM
* Main Bearings: 3
* Carburetor: Carter YS-637s
Powertrain Willys M38
The whole air intake and axle system was fully vented to allow for proper operation under water. Its full floating front axle (Dana 25) was supported by the wheel hub, rather than the axle itself, and provided greater carrying capacity. The rear axle ( Dana 44) was semi-floating. Its powerplant was the L-head 134* with a T-90 transmission and Dana 18 transfer case.
Electrical system Willys M38
The electrical system was upgraded to a 24 volt system which required dual 12 volt batteries connected in series. Its ignition and electrical systems were waterproof; a handy feature in rainy environments and where deep river fording was necessary.

The Jeep Wrangler is a compact four-wheel drive sport utility vehicle (SUV) and an off-road vehicle manufactured by American automaker Chrysler, under its Jeep marque – and now in its fourth generation. It is a successor to the famous World War II 'Jeep' vehicle by way of the Willys civilian Jeep (CJ) in the 1950s, later produced by Kaiser-Jeep and by American Motors (AMC). The Wrangler debuted in 1987, was revised in 1997 and again in 2007. Wranglers continue to use live axles both front and rear as with their predecessor, the CJ.
Each Wrangler model has received a designation in addition to the nameplate Wrangler corresponding to their generation: YJ (1987-1995), TJ (1997-2006), LJ's (2004-2006 Unlimited models) and JK (2007-present). Military versions of the Wrangler have carried the J8 designation.
YJ models were manufactured between 1987 and 1992 in Brampton, Ontario and subsequently at the Toledo South Assembly plant until mid-1995. TJ and LJ models were subsequently manufactured in Brampton, Ontario as well. After that plant's razing, JK models have been at the Toledo North Assembly plant in Toledo, Ohio.

The East India Mahindra and Mahindra group, initially the idea of the brothers KC and JC Mahindra shortly after the Second World War.
It provides for the import, assembly and sale of post-war Willys Jeeps for civilian use and rugged country roads in India. The brothers began to import fully assembled Willys Jeeps and are later assembled the kits fully in India.
The jeeps were first described by Mahindra and Mahindra Willys American models, but soon the company began manufacturing its own Jeeps under license from Willys-Overland ... and permission to use the "Jeep" name it bears today. The Indian military, police and civilians alike use these devices difficult.
The company holds the majority of the "universal" look of the old CJ, but due to things such as exorbitant fuel prices settled many of its models with diesel engines (which was then much cheaper on fuel) and use other parts and components not America. Moreover, as people drive on the left side of the road (British Art) in India, the Mahindra jeeps finally pulled his driver's side from left to right.
A brilliant idea blossomed, but simply Mahindra and Mahindra in a worldwide financial success as a manufacturer of jeeps, cars, agricultural machinery, investment, infrastructure, and more.
Today, the Jeep is mysticism is shared throughout the world because of the convenience and versatility of this small vehicle.

The Willys MB US Army Jeep (formally the Truck, 1/4 ton, 4x4), along with the nearly identical Ford GPW, was manufactured from 1941 to 1945.
The small four-wheel drive utility vehicles are considered the iconic World War II Jeep, and would inspire many similar Light Utility Vehicles. Over the years, the World War II Jeep later evolved into "CJ" civilian Jeep and has been recognized as a symbol of rugged individualism in twentieth century American History. Its counterpart in the German army was the Volkswagen Kübelwagen, also based on a small automobile, but which used an air-cooled engine and lacked 4 wheel drive.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a mid-size sport utility vehicle produced by the Jeep division of Chrysler. European Grand Cherokees are manufactured in Austria by Magna Steyr.
Grand cherokee Development
The Grand Cherokee's origins date back to 1983 when American Motors (AMC) engineers were designing a successor to the smaller Jeep Cherokee (XJ).Three outside (non-AMC) designers — Larry Shinoda, Adam Clenet, and Giorgetto Giugiaro — were under contract with AMC to create and build a clay model of the replacement model, then known as the "XJC" project.However, the basic design for the Cherokee's replacement was well under way by AMC's in-house designers and the 1989 Jeep Concept 1 show car foretold the basic design.
The Grand Cherokee was the first Chrysler-badged Jeep product. Development work for the new model continued and Chrysler employees (after the 1987 buyout of AMC) were eager for a late-1980s release date; however, CEO Lee Iacocca was pushing for redesigned Chrysler minivans, thus delaying the Grand Cherokee's release until late 1992 as an Explorer competitor.
The Grand Cherokee debuted in grand fashion at the 1992 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan. Then-Chrysler president Robert Lutz drove Detroit mayor, Coleman Young up the steps of Cobo Hall and through a plate glass window to show off the new vehicle. Production of the Grand Cherokee started shortly afterward in the purpose-built Jefferson North Assembly in Detroit, Michigan and has remained there since.
Grand Cherokee ZJ (1993–1998)
The ZJ models, manufactured from 1993 to 1998, originally came in three general trims, the Base, Laredo, and the Limited. The Base model offered basic features such as full instruments, cloth interior, a standard five-speed manual transmission, while soon gaining the moniker SE name in 1994. Creature comforts like power windows and locks were not standard equipment on the SE, although conveniences like these were finally included in 1995; a somewhat contrasting pricetag with minimal production numbers resulted with low consumer demand and dropping the now-uncommon bare-bone model forever. The Laredo was the mid-scale model (essentially becoming base model after 1996), standard features included added body cladding power windows, power door locks, and cruise control; exterior features displayed a medium grey plastic lower body paneling and five-spoke aluminum wheels. The Limited was the premium model, with the lower body paneling being the same color as the vehicle color. The Limited also boasted standard features such as leather seating, optional power sunroof, mirrors, seats, and remote keyless entry system; heated mirrors, and heated seats, a basic onboard computer; and waffle-like cast aluminum wheels.
In 1995 the performance of the V8 engine was upgraded to 300 lb·ft (410 N·m) from 285 previously. 1996 brought cosmetic changes ranging from improved body modeling (grille, bumpers), and integrated foglights; interior features added dual airbags and increased fabric quality for seating. At the same time, the "Grand Cherokee" fender emblems in the American Motors-typeface dating back to 1974 were replaced with the typeface used on other Chrysler vehicles. The AMC 4.0 L straight-6 engine, able to tow 5,000 lb (2,300 kg), was also refined, through minimal loss in power but gained more torque and presented quieter operation. Limited models that year and onward had more luxury items such as driver placement memory, remote radio control from the steering wheel, and variable assist while driving and parking.
Between 1996-98, the export Grand Cherokee Laredo (marketed for Japan) had the optional Aspen package (source: The Story of Jeep).
Grand Cherokee 4x4 (Four-wheel drive systems)
Four-wheel drive systems included Command-Trac, a part-time unit offering temporary 4-wheel assistance; Command-Trac was dropped from lineup in conjunction with the SE trim in 1996. Selec-Trac had the option of either full-time or part-time operation; both shift-on-the-fly Command-Trac and Selec-Trac were already available for the Cherokee, and they were adapted to the Grand Cherokee. Exclusive to the Grand Cherokee was the introduction of Quadra-Trac system with permanent all-time four-wheel assistance. This was optional on all models.
Grand Cherokee Suspension
An available "Up Country" package was offered. The suspension package included heavier duty German made gas charged shocks installed upside down, taller coil springs and longer bump stops
The Grand Cherokee V8 Awards
The Grand Cherokee V8 was on Car and Driver magazine's Ten Best list and was Motor Trend magazine's Truck of the Year for 1993.
It was also Petersen's 4x4 of the Year in 1993, 1996 (with the redesigned NV249 transfer case), 1998 (with the newly available 5.9L V-8), 1999 (with its acclaimed 2nd generation model), 2001 (with the new 5-speed transmission), and 2005 (with its 3rd generation model)
