Mopar ORT Trail Initiative Press Conference
The 2007 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Nevada is finally underway and Project-JK is here live to bring you the all the hottest news and information that you're going to want to know about. On Monday, September 29th, Mopar held an exclusive press conference called the Trail Initiative where they announced some really big news - they will now be selling a 4.5" long arm kit under the branding Jeep Off Road Technology or ORT for short. And more specifically, this lift kit will be a repackaged Rubicon Express 4.5" long arm kit. And, in addition to getting involved in the aftermarket suspension industry, Mopar will also develop other performance products such as transfer case upgrades, performance axles and air intake systems. Special thanks goes to Capture Live for making our daily coverage of SEMA possible.

SEMA 2007 Pre-Show Coverage - DAY 2
BIG NEWS EVERYONE!! For all those people who've been leary about installing a lift kit on their Jeep JK Wrangler or were told by their dealership that they could not exceed a 2" of lift because anything more would void their warranty, have I got news for you. I just got out of an exclusive MOPAR press conference entiteled 'Trail' Initiative and was informed that MOPAR itself will now be selling not just a lift kit for the very first time in its long history, but a 4.5" long arm kit at that!!

Well, I'll be honest and tell you that I did have my doubts as to whether or not we would be able to have our Jeep JK Wrangler finished in time for the 2007 SEMA Show.

Anza Borrego Coyote Canyon Newbie Run
| Although our recent run up the Anza Borrego Coyote Canyon Trail was supposed to be a basic 'newbie run' designed to get people new to Jeeps and the sport of off-roading out on the trail, I think it's safe to say that this trip was anything but. At least, with 14 Jeep JK Wranglers in our group, 12 of which were modified to some degree and only three of the drivers new to Jeeps and/or off roading, pretty much the only thing really new about this run was some of the faces that joined us for the ride. But hey, whatever it takes to get people out it's all good by me. |
