  03/11/15, via The Detroit News

  The most well-known are the Jeep J-12 produced for the annual Moab Easter Jeep Safari off-roading event in 2012, and the Jeep Gladiator based on the Jeep Wrangler platform that debuted at the 2005 Detroit auto show. "I remain a big fan of a Jeep pickup

  Does a truck need a frame?

  I miss my Eliminator. Well, it was kind of mine, that special edition of the 1988 Jeep Comanche. It was my demonstrator for about three weeks, back when I sold cars wearing a zipper tie, being too proud to ask dad how to tie a Full Windsor. I

  04/10/12, via MotorTrend Magazine

  The threshold for determining when a car is officially old varies from person to person. Some drivers base it on the disappearance of the new car smell, the number of dents and dings, or when the car simply reaches a certain age or mileage. A recent

  One of the darkest periods was in 1988, working for a delightful auto dealer combination, which included Jeep, Eagle, and Renault (What could possibly go wrong?). Cars were stacked outside of the service bays like cord wood. You really haven't lived

  Ensaio Competo Smart ForTwo + Smart ForFour: O melhor na Cidade

  07/18/15, via Turbo

  O mesmo já não aconteceu com o primeiro Forfour, que tinha como parceira a Mitsubishi e como base o Colt. O mercado não lhe reagiu positivamente e por isso só esteve em produção dois anos (2004 a 2006). Igual destino teve o Smart Roadster/coupé.

Does a truck need a frame? - TheChronicleHerald.ca (registration)

Well, it was kind of mine, that special edition of the 1988 Jeep Comanche. It was my demonstrator for about three weeks, back when I sold cars wearing a zipper tie, being too proud to ask dad how to tie a Full Windsor. I eventually learned how to tie a Half Windsor, around the time that the Comanche had left the showroom floor. The Comanche had something called a uniframe, part unitized construction, part frame rails for the cargo box. Trucks without frames have existed in North America in many forms, from the Ford Falcon Ranchero, to the Dodge Rampage. Long before the Internet and epic fail videos, there were plenty of images in my memory banks of these semi-trucks, overloaded to the point of trailer hitch scuffs. If you sift through the last two decades of press releases, you’ll find quite the stack of concept trucks without frames that never came to the tailgate party. Active lifestyles, they called it, much like they did with the Honda Element wash-and-wear box. Over the past decade, I have done my fair share of poking the arms of the manufacturers, pointing out the availability of unitized trucks in global markets, until their eyes glazed over. Those who build trucks are quick to point out the efficiencies of the modern full-sized truck. Source: thechronicleherald.ca

Texas nuclear power plants seek new workforce - Monitor

PALACIOS — At first glance, the large, framed photo hanging on a wall at the state’s largest nuclear power plant seems to tell a simple story. The photo, snapped last summer, is a source of pride at the South Texas Project nuclear plant, about 90 miles southwest of Houston on 12,200 acres along the Colorado River. But for the plant’s officials, it encapsulates anxiety about who will work at the plant in the years ahead. Each worker in the photo helped build the plant and has kept it running, and the workers make up just a portion of those who will soon retire, taking along years of expertise. “It’s the thing that keeps me up at night,” said Dennis Koehl, chief executive and chief nuclear officer at the STP Nuclear Operating Company. But as graying baby boomers prepare to hang up their Hazmat suits, officials are racing to find new talent, pouring millions of dollars into education programs in hopes of training new workers in an industry that produces about 12 percent of the...

We Say Goodbye to the Last Dodge Dakota - PickupTrucks.com

I think it is now extinct because of a mix of its looks and that the midsize truck segment is dwindling due to changing tastes in the US. Remember when Mitsubishi so unsuccessfully used the Dakota platform for its short-lived Raider. Had an 02 bought it from my dad when I got my license he bought it brand new took it to 180k miles only non maitenance problem on hub went 4. 7 v8 4x4 quadcab perfect size could take 6 people and use the bed was real quick too only upgraded to a... Lets see the size of the 2nd gen Dakotas bigger than the Ranger/S10 yet not so close to the full sizes. Had an '88 2WD V6 5-spd as my first truck, then bought an '03 4WD Club, SLT, 4. 7 5-spd brand new. great truck, the 4. 7/5-spd was incredible. Full-size trucks are the most profitable large scale product lines these auto makers have. For the most part, truck companies feel that the people who bought Dakotas and Rangers were choosing them instead of the bigger trucks ie. the smaller trucks were cannibalizing the sales of the more profitable bigger trucks. It's also the reason prices for the Dakota and Colorado/Canyon were so ridiculously high. Many, many folks looked at the prices and thought, I had might as well get the big one because they almost cost the same, and the mileage isn't that much different. I had a 1988 2wd 3. 9l DAKOTA that my dad. Source: news.pickuptrucks.com
