Another week and another award for the benchmark Jeep® Wrangler.
The 2010 Jeep Wrangler has earned the “Best New Car for Off-Roaders” Lifestyle Award from Cars.com.
In recognizing the 2010 Jeep Wrangler, Cars.com noted, “The legendary Jeep Wrangler tops our Off-Roaders picks again this year. … Long on capability, the scrappy Wrangler Rubicon has 10.5 inches of ground clearance, as well as approach, departure and breakover angles its competitors can only envy. When the shortest distance between two points is an obstructed straight line, you’ll want to be in a Wrangler.”
“This prestigious award from Cars.com reinforces Jeep Wrangler’s position as the benchmark off-road vehicle on the planet,” Mike Manley, President and CEO—Jeep Brand, said. “It comes at an especially exciting time for customers looking for the ultimate off-roader, as Wrangler was recently named the Best 4×4 Vehicle of the Decade by Four Wheeler magazine, and as Jeep is introducing two all-new Wrangler models at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.”
Beyond ultimate capability, Jeep Wrangler offers a combination of numerous safety and convenience features, interior space, versatility and comfort, on-road refinement, and open-air fun as the only true 4×4 convertible. At the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, the Jeep brand is introducing two limited-edition models: the Jeep Wrangler Islander and Jeep Wrangler Mountain editions.
Jeep Wrangler Islander
After more than 20 years, the unique Islander theme returns to Jeep.
The limited-edition Jeep Wrangler Islander is available on Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited 4×4 models. Based on the Wrangler Sport model, the Islander’s unique beach theme conveys open-air fun at first and every glance.
Jeep Wrangler Islander is featured in unique Surf Blue Pearl Coat and is also available in Stone White Clear Coat, Bright Sliver Metallic Clear Coat and Brilliant Black Crystal Clear Coat.
Other exterior features include an Islander “Tiki Bob” decal on the hood with latitude and longitude coordinates that represent an actual location relating to the “Islander” theme of the vehicle, black side steps and popular Moab 17-inch wheels shod with 32-inch tires.
Inside, Islander’s seats are Dark Gray with Surf Blue inserts, blue stitching and an embroidered Islander “Tiki Bob” logo adorning the seat back. Blue stitching also has been added to the leather-wrapped steering wheel, with Mopar® rubber floor mats completing the beach theme.
The Jeep Wrangler Islander option package is available at a U.S. manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $1,120.
Jeep Wrangler Mountain
Further expanding the iconic Wrangler brand’s reach, Jeep delivers another high-impact, limited-edition model with the Jeep Wrangler Mountain edition.
The Jeep Wrangler Mountain edition is based on the Wrangler Sport S package and is available on Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited 4×4 models.
Exterior features include a unique “Mountain” decal on the hood with latitude and longitude coordinates that represent an actual location relating to the “Mountain” theme of the vehicle; painted high-gloss Mineral Gray 17-inch Moab wheels, grille and bumper appliqués; tubular side steps; 32-inch tires; black tail lamp guards; and a fuel-filler door from Mopar.
Available exterior colors include Rescue Green Metallic Clear Coat, Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl Coat and Deep Water Blue Pearl Coat.

The Jeep Wrangler Mountain option package will be available at a U.S. MSRP of $1,820.
Jeep Wrangler accolades from Four Wheeler magazine editors
Editors at Four Wheeler magazine recently named the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon as the Best 4×4 Vehicle of the Decade, and the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon as the Most Significant 4×4 vehicle.
In referring to the four-door Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon, Four Wheeler magazine editor Sean Holman said the decision to produce a four-door Wrangler “will probably go down in history as one of the smartest product moves any automotive company has ever made … pure genius, opening up the sport of ‘Jeeping’ to families.” Visit us at www.TunkAutoMart.com
The Chrysler brand earned a top industry recognition at this year’s 14th Annual Polk Automotive Loyalty Awards as the 2010 Chrysler Town & Country was named “Automotive Loyalty Award—Minivan” for the ninth year in a row.
“In the 14 years of the Polk Automotive Loyalty Awards, no other vehicle has earned as many awards as the Chrysler Town & Country,” Stephen Polk, Chairman, President and CEO of R. L. Polk & Co., said. “The Chrysler Town & Country’s ninth consecutive award is a true testament to loyalty at the highest level and Chrysler brand’s understanding of customer needs in the minivan segment.”

| When decorating your house for Halloween, you can go beyond the typical decorations and instead opt to give your house an overall theme. Keep in mind that some of these scenarios may not be appropriate for very young trick or treaters. Here are a few to consider:Famous Horror Movie Characters | ||||||||||||||
| Find costumes of famous slasher movie characters, like Jason from Friday the 13th, Freddy Kruger from a Nightmare on Elm Street, Ghostface from the Scream movies, and so forth. Use wire hangers in the sleeves so you can position the arms in a frightening manner. Have a few of them lined up along your pathway or backlit in windows.Witches Brew | ||||||||||||||
| Take three witch’s costumes, and stuff and stake them as with the slasher costumes above. Position them around a large black pot in your front yard. Place an inexpensive bubble machine in the pot. Put large sticks in the witches’ hands making it look like they are stirring the witches’ brew. If you can find a recording of witches laughing, have that playing as well.Creature House | ||||||||||||||
| Pick a theme of gargoyles, spiders, or bats. Get several of all shapes and sizes and place them all over the exterior of your house. Place outdoor spot lights on them to make them appear even scarier. If you can have the spot lights on a motion sensor, so that they turn on when people walk by, even better.Crime Scene | ||||||||||||||
| Recreate a crime scene by lining your walkway with police tape, drawing chalk outlines on your driveway, playing a tape of screams; even have a fake body lying under a white sheet. A bloody door cover will also add to the effect.Haunted Mansion | ||||||||||||||
| You can create the illusion of a haunted house quite easily. Thunder probes are inexpensive devices that mimic the sound of thunder with flashes of lightening. You could also have a CD of organ music playing, cob webs all over the exterior of your house, ghosts in window, and fake rats by the front door.Window Scenes | ||||||||||||||
| If you want something more elaborate and have several front facing windows, consider a classic horror film image in each. For example, you will find a lot of Halloween stores are selling blood covered shower curtains. So you could recreate the shower scene from the movie Psycho in one window with cardboard cutouts of the two characters back lit behind the curtain.We hope you have a wonderful Halloween. Please come by and check out our deals, we promise that we will not scare you away. Dress up and bring your costume to our dealership, we would love to see you. | ||||||||||||||

| Car Safety Tips As the days get shorter, the accident rate soars. Some of the most frequent causes of accident are little or no safety distance on wet roads, reduced concentration and, most importantly, fog-hampered visibility. A lot can be done, though, to considerably reduce the risk of an accident. We have compiled a few tips for dealing with foggy weather:
Adapt your driving speed to visibility. In other words, if visibility is poor let up on the gas pedal. 1) The safety distance to the vehicle in front of you should inversely correlate to your visibility range, more or less. This is the only way to make sure you’ll have enough time to react if the car up ahead brakes suddenly. 2) Switch on your dimmed headlights as soon as you notice a reduction in visibility. If a conspicuously large number of vehicles approaching you in the opposite lane have their lights on, it probably means that visibility is very likely worse up ahead. 3) Use fog tail lights only for visibility under fifty yards. They tend to blind traffic behind you. Also use fog lights if visibility is poor. 4) Concentrate on driving. Talking on the phone is a major distraction and should thus be avoided. Treat yourself to a break, even if you’re in a hurry. It will help you concentrate better, especially when doing long hauls in foggy conditions. Wet leaves and rain Accident hazards during the autumn season also increase. Many tree leaves are still clinging to the branches along the traffic routes, but with the first change in weather, foliage can turn into a major hazard on wet and slippery roads. Wet leaves and poor visibility during rainy weather are some of the most common causes of accidents. We know how cautious you need to be when it comes to the seasonal changes. We want you to also have the best vehicle to handle the new road conditions. We hope you can give us a chance to show you how competitive we can be to get you in your new vehicle. Please come by and see us before the season changes too quickly. |
