Zoofactory Coatings Sponsors Rebuild of Expedition Series Jeep Wrangler

Zoofactory Coatings is providing complete coatings application sponsorship and financial support for the rebuild of an Expedition Series Jeep Wrangler.  The Jeep (white – pictured below) has successfully traversed Mexico’s continental divide on four separate occasions, and in 2002 was driven to Honduras via the Jungle Route through Guatemala.  The vehicle’s owner says it’s time for a serious repair and upgrade to protect the structural integrity of the frame and ultimately the vehicle’s longevity. 

Zoofactory Wranglers cross Mexico in 2005

The Jeep Wrangler crossed Mexico again in 2005, this time with another 94′ Wrangler owned by Chris Daigle of Lafayette, LA.  They covered large sections of the country and, pictured here, crossed just about anything in their path.  The black Wrangler has been completely rebuilt for use in Southern Louisiana.  (Check our section – Zoofactory 4WD).   The white Jeep is poised for reconstruction and conditioning to prepare for yet another, longer trip into Central America as a launching point into  South America.

Please visit http://www.jeepyj.wordpress.com for more information  on the reconstruction of the vehicle.  15 years of Michigan winters and crossing the continent have left the frame and suspension in need of repair.  Additionally, the team will be adding necessary upgrades for the expected +20,000 mile trip   The new blog currently has little content, but information will be added very soon.

Zoofactory, located in Kalamazoo, Michigan has agreed to use its thermal management ceramic coatings, corrosion coatings, and abrasion coatings on every component available.  The vehicle currently dismantled and is undergoing a variety of repairs and upgrades.  Please visit to see the progress, make comments or suggestions.
