Jeep Patriot Commercial – the first ‘wolf’ commercial

 Commercial, Patriot  No Responses »

This is a great commercial from Jeep for the Patriot. It is the first ‘wolf’ commercial they did and also one of the first times (the first?) they did the “I squish your little head” thing in a Jeep commercial (you know what I am talking about….pretending that you can pick something up, pinching it between your thumb and finger by holding them really close to your eye). This commercial is an outdoor lifestyle commercial for the Jeep Patriot that demonstrates people outside having fun as a group – following a more current positioning theme from Jeep.

Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Commercial – video game

This is a pretty cool and innovative Jeep Wrangler Commercial – not in the same vein as current ‘eco-friendly’ commercials, but interesting nonetheless – this commercial features the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon as a video game – racing a course through the desert then halfway through the video game morphs into a ‘real life’ jeep driving through the desert. I am trying to figure out if they are trying to target the ‘younger’ driver? or an older driver that is trying to be younger!

Jeep Liberty – Engine Service Manual – 2002

Found an excerpt from the 2002 Jeep Liberty Service Manual – the engine section for the 3.7L versionJeep LibertyImage via Wikipedia

I don’t think it is a problem for me to post this (I hope not and will pull it if it turns out not to be ok to post sections from Jeep Liberty service manuals.) I guess if Chrysler goes ahead and simplifies their product line by removing duplicates AND they make the Liberty go away (which I don’t think they would) in favour of the Dodge Nitro, then the service manual wouldn’t matter too much!

Jeep Grand Cherokee Commercial, 1994 – odd one

This is a very different Jeep commercial from 1994 – nothing at all to do with the usual fun loving or nature-type ‘lifestyle’ commercial. This one tries to tie together Jeep with ‘family’…..very strange combination, it is poorly executed as well – presumably their research said that this would work?!?

It depicts a young man in a Jeep Grand Cherokee, driving on a country road, then a very short flashback (1 second maybe) to a young boy helping his father on a farm, using an old Jeep to pull something. Then a lot more driving on dirt roads, to show up at the ‘family farm house’ in his brand new Jeep – Momma runs out to meet him and then Poppa…and a long meaningful look into each others eyes….at least in my opinion, WAY off message!

Jeep CJ5 Wiring Diagram – 1978

Jeep CJ5 wiring diagrams seem to be hard to come by.

Haynes manuals publish Jeep Wiring diagrams and so does Chiltons, but the comments and reviews I have been reading suggest that they are sub-par at least as far as CJ5 wiring diagrams go.

The consensus seems to be that they are adequate for trouble shooting electrical problems, but not really sufficient if you are starting from scratch. What you really need is proper wiring diagram specific to the model and year that you are working with.

I did manage to chase down a wiring diagram for a 1978 Jeep CJ series (CJ-5, CJ-7, CJ-8). I hope these are helpful to some of you!

This is the key to the wiring diagram – shows all the colours and gauges of wire that are referenced in the actual diagram.
