GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles do not have a con-
ventional frame. They are constructed as a unitized
body and frame. Jeep unibodies are constructed from
special high-strength steel and coated metals. This
process reduces weight and provides strength to
withstand the forces applied against structural mem-
bers. The structural members provide a unibody that
has great structural strength.
