From Larry in TN:

My Jeep doesn’t really have any thing stock. I have 5 22 inch tires for a total of 120 inches of chrome. That doesn’t include the chrome grill, chrome mirrors, chrome step bar, chrome hinges for all the doors including the engine hood, chrome fuel cover, chrome exhaust pipe, chrome door handles, chrome locking door hinges. When you see this baby driving down the road on a sunny day it really makes you look twice.

It’d be a shame to get all that chrome muddy, Larry.  Heh Heh Heh.  No it wouldn’t!  -JW

We carry some great chrome Jeep accessories for your Wrangler.  Spice up the front of your Jeep with our Wrangler Chrome Grill or Jeep Grill Inserts .  We also carry chrome hood scoops and chrome mirror covers as well.  Check out JeepWorld.com for all of your Jeep Parts needs!

Ho! Ho! Ho!  Jeepers!  It’s that time of year again.  Time for mistletoe, eggnog, snowflakes, peace on Earth, good will towards men, and most importantly… PRESENTS!  Stocking presents are some of our favorite presents, little bits of happiness in an oversized sock!  Here’s a list of cool Jeep Stocking Stuffers to give to your favorite Jeep Enthusiast this Christmas.  Or feel free to put some on Santa’s list for yourself if you’ve been nice this year, naughty Jeepers need not apply (you know who you are).

We’ve got a great selection of Jeep Key Chains in stock and ready to ship same day.  They come in a wide variety of shapes and colors, won’t break the bank, make a super cool gift for that Jeep lover in your life, and most importantly you can fit at least 100 of them in your stocking!

Jeep Hats make another great gift.  While working out in the garage or cruising around in your Jeep, these comfy ball caps show off your love for the brand you drive.  These are a must for ladies with long hair who cruise with the top down or the men who need to keep the sun off of their domes!

We love our dogs and we love taking them with us in our Jeeps.  We’re now carrying a full line-up of Jeep Dog Toys, Jeep Dog Leashes, and Jeep Travel Food and Water Bowls to keep our four legged friends healthy and happy as they ride along with us!

There are a lot of great Jeep Gifts to give this year.  How about these great oversized and wildly colorful Jeep Beach Towels?  Use them as a beach towel or attach to your Jeep’s seat (using a carbiner and grommet system) to protect it from sand, dirt, water, or mud after you’ve been out enjoying the great outdoors.  This is a must for those of us living the Jeep lifestyle!

We think the all new Jeep Street Sign makes a great gift, but you may have to turn it on it’s end to get it to fit into a stocking!  They’re heavyweight and hardcore and a heck of a lot of fun.

Some Jeep Wrangler specific stockings stuffers and “must haves” include the Jeep Grab Handles .  We’re partial to the EK version with the Red and Black Skulls, how about you?  The EK Light Saber Jeep Flashlight Holder and the EK Burnout Jeep Fire Extinguisher Holder are durable and dependable ways to carry tools when out on the trail.  Try the Life is Good License Plate Frame or Recovery Shovel for your Jeep for those “hard to buy for” Jeepers in your life.

We know how stressful holiday shopping can be, so hopefully this guide can help you out or at least point you in the right direction.  We’ll be back soon with a guide to larger gifts that fit right on the Jeeps themselves, but not so well in the stocking.  Until then, get out there and have fun!

From Robert in San Antonio, TX:

“The fact that within a year and a half I have gotten the Jeep to this point. Had no prior experience wheeling yet I have managed to get fairly good at it. Also the fact that my wife and daughter love it as much as me.”

Good Stuff!  Just make sure your wife and daughter don’t end up loving it MORE than you! -JW

If you’re into taking your Jeep off-road (and if you aren’t you should be), you’ll want to check out these Jeep Rock Rails and Rocker Guards .  Hold your flashlight and fire extinguisher in place with the EK Light Saber and EK Burn Out respectively.  Other “must-haves” for your Jeep are the Off Road Recovery Kit and the Jeep Shovel.  Get all that good stuff and more at our website www.JeepWorld.com .

From Automotive News:

“By 2014, 12 nameplates from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or Ram will have heavy Fiat influence. They will either be developed on Fiat Group platforms or rebadged and imported from the Fiat Group.”

Here’s what they have in store for Jeep:

“Subcompact SUV: A small SUV is planned in 2013, based on the platform for the next generation Fiat Panda Cross.

Patriot: Minor exterior and interior changes are planned for 2010. Production ends in 2012.

Compass: Minor exterior and interior changes are slated for 2010. The Compass will be dropped in 2012.

Compact crossover: The unnamed crossover will be developed on a Fiat Group platform. Sales begin in 2013.

Wrangler: A new interior is scheduled for 2010. A new powertrain will be offered in 2011.

Liberty: Minor cosmetic and interior changes are planned for 2010. The redesigned Liberty debuts in 2013, based on a Fiat Group platform.

Commander: U.S. production ends late in 2010. The Commander may be assembled outside North America for export markets.

Grand Cherokee: The redesigned Grand Cherokee and next-generation Mercedes-Benz full-size SUVs are linked at the hip. Vehicle development started when Daimler owned Chrysler. Component sharing is expected to continue for several years. The redesigned Grand Cherokee debuts in May 2010.”

From Motor Authority:

“The Fiat-Chrysler partnership has been brewing since well before the economic meltdown and federal loan bonanza of late 2008, but it’s still taking shape as the automakers find ways to work to their mutual benefit. The combined companies’ new CEO Sergio Marchionne is set to reveal the future plans for both Fiat and Chrysler in just a week’s time but we already have much of the details on hand.

According to people briefed on the plans, Alfa Romeo is set to return as a volume player in 2012. Fiat will be here too, although the only model planned is the 500 minicar, which should in early 2011…

Don’t feel too bad Fiat isn’t coming here in full force. Chrysler will introduce several new models that rely on Fiat platforms and technology. The first of these will be a new mid-sized sedan from Chrysler based on Fiat’s C-Evo platform, followed by new hatchback and a compact Jeep. There will also be redesigned versions of the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Chrysler 300 arriving as early as next year.

Several models will be dropped from Chrysler’s U.S. lineup as well. These will include a number of Dodge models, such as the Caliber, Nitro, Avenger, and several Jeep models, too, such as the Commander, Compass, and Patriot. Other vehicles getting the axe include Chrysler’s PT Cruiser and Sebring.”

From the Sacremento Bee:

“On Nov. 4, we’ll get our first look at Chrysler’s future.

That’s the day Fiat plans to reveal its 5-year plan for the Chrysler Group, which includes Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep. Fiat owns 20 percent of Chrysler and effectively controls the automaker…

Fiat has a strong motivation to get Americans to buy more diesels as an alternative to hybrids, in which it has little expertise. In addition, the diesel Jeep Grand Cherokee and Liberty SUVs Chrysler built during its alliance with Daimler have a loyal following.

Watch for Fiat to promote its diesels for Jeeps and Dodge and Chrysler passenger cars.”

Winter is on the way.  Keep your Jeep’s interior protected with heavy duty Jeep Wrangler Floor Mats and Jeep Cargo Floor Liners.  Speaking of Winter, check out the Jeep Wrangler Ski Rack from Mopar.  It mounts to the spare tire and safely carries your skis up to the mountains.

From the Wall Street Journal;

“Chrysler Group LLC will suspend production of its popular Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited vehicles due to a shortage in parts from an unidentified supplier.

Chrysler will idle its Toledo Supplier Park facility in Ohio for one week starting Monday, the company said Friday without disclosing more details. The Wrangler has been one of Chrysler’s best-performing vehicles in terms of sales for the year.

This is the second time Chrysler has changed its production schedule because of a parts issue. The auto maker also delayed adding a second shift to an Illinois plant by more than a month citing “continued stresses” on its parts suppliers.

Friday’s announcement underscores previous reports that tension is growing between Chrysler and its suppliers. In addition to Chrysler’s problem with shortages, some of the smaller parts makers are hesitating to commit to new vehicle projects, according to people familiar with the matter.”

From DailyTech.com:

“In an effort to save money and trees, Chrysler has announced that it will be moving away from full printed owner’s manuals to DVDs and abridged manuals with the 2010 model year.

Chrysler won’t get specific on how much money it will save by not proving full owner’s manuals, which often had 500 pages or more, and will only say that it will see “substantial savings” from the move. The abridged paper owner’s manuals will only have around 80 pages and go over basic details like how to operate the navigation and cooling system of the car.

The DVD will contain the full owner’s manual in a searchable format along with instructional videos for things like lowering the soft top on a Jeep. The DVDs will be designed for viewing on home computers and on some entertainment systems on vehicles.”

“What I like best? The ability to create my own parking spot in the middle of winter! Just can’t seem to get it stuck.”
