2000 Ford Expedition Coil Spring Conversion- Strutmasters
Almost everyone that has or has had a Ford Expedition knows that the air bag system is a huge FAIL. If you haven’t run into any issues its only a matter of time.
Strut Masters has came out with a cure for your vehicle. They manufactured a complete conversion kit to eliminate your air bag system and replace it with the following components:
Rear Coil Springs
Rear Shocks
Front Coil Over Shocks
This system in my opinion gives your ride and equal to (if not better) ride. If I was an Expedition owner I would with out hesitation install this system myself. Check out the pictures below and see the before and after pictures.

Front and Rear Suspension System – Off-Road Magazine
We don’t really cover Jeeps too often at OFF-ROAD Magazine. Instead we leave those to our other dirthead magazines, and we hit hard on fullsize trucks and prerunners in our pages. That being said, we cannot deny the absolute beauty of an all-purpose off-road vehicle-no matter what type it is. But if we’re building a Jeep, it’s going to have to be either a fullsize Jeep (FSJ) or a unibody. Classic Cherokees (XJs) with unibodies (or unit bodies) can be found going fast in the dirt, climbing over rocks, and charging through the gnarliest off-road terrains. That’s why it was an easy choice to start on my all-purpose XJ build that I picked up for $400. Last month we concentrated on the Hesco head and other engine modifications and updates that Jeeps R Us made to my non-running Cherokee. Not only did Jeeps R Us get it running again, the crew there also added more power and fuel efficiency to boot.

2005 Hemi Jeep Grand Cherokee – Clive Skilton
Have you ever been in the midst of a group of Jeep traditionalists? If not, just memorize the phrase “change is bad.” Repeat as necessary until you can be heard saying it in your sleep. You’re now ready for a proper dyed-in-the-flatfender Jeepin’ conversation. To test your Jeepthenticity, keep an eye peeled for a half dozen traditionalists drooling over vintage Jeepin’ iron at a trail event. Take a few mental notes, make a friendly comment or two, and slink away from the traditionalists. It’s time to expand your horizons.
While the Jeep brand is strongly identified with the short-wheelbase, trail-crawlin’ machine that sports the boxy, seven-slot grille, Jeep-branded vehicles have explored and conquered every continent at speeds both high and low. The “go anywhere” heritage means that for a Jeep to be a Jeep, it has to be good at a little of everything.
JeepSpeed founder Clive Skilton is a hand-in-glove fit for the “go anywhere” motto. His racing resume includes 500cc Superbikes, sports car road racing, and NHRA Top Fuel drag racing in addition to many an off-road rally in various corners of the globe. Specifically, those corners include the southern tip of South America in 1995 with a three-Jeep (two Wranglers and one Grand Cherokee) American Racing Wheels World Expedition racing team, and building and racing a Kia Sportage in the 2005 Barcelona to Dakar rally.

Jeep J8 Worldwide Trialling
[yframe url='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-C2oc8rhHg&feature=player_embedded']Check out a few Jeep J8’s being put through the motions.
In its ongoing quest to return the Jeep name to its military roots, Chrysler has just put the J8 through ballistic and blast certification. The company says that its using a new manufacturing technique by hot-forming steel to create a protective shell for the vehicle. Sounds fancy, and evidently it’s tough enough to take the kind of abuse necessary to be awarded BRV 2009 VR7 ballistic protection certification. What does all that mean? No matter what your daily commute throws at you, chances are this beefed-up Wrangler will get you to work in one piece.
The J8 is currently being marketed to military, government and private security operations that require the kind of vehicle that can drive through a hail of small-arms fire without getting perforated. There are also a number other configurations available – everything from well-armed patrol vehicles to troop and cargo transports.
