Ever since Jeep released its latest version of the Grand Cherokee in 2011 it has been a revelation. Here we have an American 4WD that has legendary off road capability combined with a powerful and economical diesel motor packaged in a stylish body.
The MY 2014 Laredo has a host of external enhancements including new bi-xenon HID headlamps with signature LED daytime running lights (DRLs), new wheels designs, larger tail lamps with LED lighting, a larger and more aerodynamic rear spoiler, new bumpers and a re-sculpted tailgate that offers greater visibility and a host of detail styling changes. It does however retain Jeep’s classic seven-slot grille albeit a little shorter.
Rob Fraser – General dogsbody & Director
Rob is the founder of the business. He constantly mutters something about way too many red wines one evening being to blame.
Often known for taking the 4WD in the driveway over the sports car, he has travelled pretty much everywhere in Australia and when he is bored goes for a drive.
He first learned to drive on the farm in a left hand drive WW11 Jeep when he was 11, and was hooked on 4WDriving way back then. In addition to 4WD he is an avid motoring enthusiast and has maintained a strong interest in the industry ever since his teens. He has owned way too many cars in his time as well.
Having previously lived at the top of corporate life he retired in 2000 and hasn’t put a suit and tie on since. Cars are his passion so why not have a business doing what you love he figures.
He has towed either a caravan or camper trailer to most parts of Australia, has run guided tours for camper trailers’ and instructed drivers in off road towing.

The jeep Wrangler has been a favourite here for quite some time, one of those vehicles that exude a degree of “çool” as well as practical off road ability. So when the opportunity came along to test the Limited Edition X version, named after the X Games extreme sport athletes, we jumped at the chance. [Read More]
