I recently found myself in one of those “upgrade” situations with one of our older Jeep vehicles, a 1988 Wrangler. For close to twenty years we have made use of a spool in the rear and an automatic locker in the front. In that time I had wanted to swap…
Ever head out for a trail ride that you had been planning for days, weeks or maybe even months only to have a hub break? Possibly first thing on day one; or were you one of the lucky ones who managed to break it at the end of the trip?…
As off-road enthusiasts, there are times we are forced to pick and choose which tools or equipment we take with us. Some we leave at home simply because there is never enough space when trying to pack everything and still have room for comfort. Something that I will continue to…
When it’s time to outfit your Jeep with recovery gear there isn’t necessarily an exact list of “must haves”. You can flip through magazines, go online or talk to your buddies and you will get a long list of options and suggestions. We all know how much (or how little)…
Purchasing a new vehicle often leads to thoughts of “how can I get better fuel economy and maybe even a little more power”. Here is where you hear the primal grunting of Tim the Tool man Taylor, “uhr uhr uhr”. For the most part we’re men and we want more,…
We’re back once again for a weekend of wheeling in Indiana during the fall. Another great event held just outside of the town of French Lick (yes, that really is the name of the town) famous for many of its visitors throughout the years. It would be debatable who the…
Maine in the fall provides such a gorgeous setting and a perfect place to hold a Jeep event during the change of season. Bethel, Maine is the essence of New England, every year we see why the colors are the envy of the rest of the country when it comes…
When spring and summer approach the planning for hiking, climbing and camping trips begin, with that comes the thought and process of gathering gear. While there are many items to consider taking along on any outing or adventure cooking utensils are some of the most important as well as needed…
Previously we had the opportunity to test the HELIOS by Jet Boil to use it while camping and cooking for a group, well there are times when there are just one or two people and there isn’t a need for cooking a large meal. There are also times when just…
Wheeling in the south is perfect for a late season get away if you want to spend some time in an area that you can take in the fall colors and get in some great wheeling. The area around Williamsburg Kentucky and Jellico Tennessee is a great destination for several…
Wyoming has a way of taking a person back in time, being out on the trails seeing the scenery and wildlife is what many of us grew up with while spending weekends with our parents in Jeeps, on trips to the mountains or for a camping getaway. This event is…
Often we travel along, with kids or passengers in tow, finish a snack and are left to figure out where to put the trash until we can make it to the next destination or convenient stop to dispose of it. Other times we climb into a vehicle only to see…

While making a quick trip through the Salt Lake City area in Utah I had to swing in for a quick hello to see a few of my old friends at Teraflex. I figured while I was there I would snap a few pics from the showroom and the shop…
Sometimes when you’re out wheeling things happen, sometimes you blow a tire, pop a bead, break an axle… This time a rock broke my window but not bad enough that the glass came flying in at me. Follow along and we’ll show you how to tint a window should this…
One thing that Jeep can lay claim to is the fact that over the years they have produced vehicles that are not only comfortable in town as daily drivers but equally comfortable and capable off road. The original Cherokee that was in production for so many years is a perfect…
Jeep® is a name that is recognized worldwide as the “can do, go anywhere, do anything” vehicle. Jeep vehicles also have been recognized as an extension of the personality of those who own and drive them as much as a symbol of the freedom and adventure they stand for. Normally…
The M416 trailer has been a popular choice for wheelers and people needing small utility trailers for a long time. We had Adventure Trailers out of Prescott,Arizona retrofit one of their suspension systems for our M416 just before we headed out on our Ultimate Road Trip 2007. The improvement between…
