I recently wrote about my Flying Floridian Fiascos – which included my experiences flying home from my honeymoon in Key West. I got to thinking about that trip and how I had originally thought of Key West as too touristy for me – but after many months of wedding planning, it was great to just relax a bit, and not have to worry about what would happen if we drank the water. One of the major highlights of the trip was our sunset kayaking excursion with Blue Planet Kayak. Continue reading
Yes, a station wagon with locking differentials! We’re not talking about selectable Wrangler Rubicon style lockers – but electronic lockers that activate while in off-road mode is pretty badass for a station wagon. This once-for-Europe-only adventure wagon has some serious back country gear haulin’ potential – and it’s heading to the US. Continue reading
Most of the pictures I’ve taken on While adventuring were taken with a Kodak Advantix (remember those?), a Cannon Power Shot (10mp point and shoot), or one of my various iPhones (3GS, 4S, and 6). When I purchased my GoPro Hero 3+ last year I knew it would change the way I documented my adventures, but I never expected it to change the way I experienced my adventures Continue reading
I’m a sucker for cool colored Jeeps – and I’m glad that the rainbow of colors is something that carried over into this vehicle that was ‘inspired by the Wrangler.’ I’ve been Renegade hunting for a week now since hearing that they started to hit dealers. Here is a nice Trailhawk in Omaha Orange. Continue reading
It’s been two years since the Jeep design team gave us the last pair of true concept vehicles for the Easter Jeep Safari – read about my thoughts on the J12 and Mighty FC. Last year’s lifted KL Cherokee Trailhawk was cool, but I’ve been yearning for an off the wall amazing vehicle like this year’s Chief concept. Continue reading
A recent hikerchat prompted a few conversations about how to handle difficult and unpredicted situations while traveling. For some unknown reason; the majority of my airport debacles have taken place in Florida – thankfully always on the return leg of the trip. Continue reading
Every year the Jeep brand creates a group of heavily modified and fabricated custom vehicles for the Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, UT.
I haven’t yet been able to get to the mountain this winter, but I did find an hour to install the Thule Universal Snowboard rack I got for Christmas. (Thanks Mom and Dad!) As always, the first thing I did was make sure I had all of the parts and tools needed for the job. Continue reading
I don’t have any official statistics to back my claim – but I’m pretty confident in saying that the Jeep Wranger has one of the biggest aftermarkets, and is one of the most modified vehicles of recent decades. We see a lot of cookie cutter Jeeps, all lifted the same way, with fancy wheels, and knobby tires that most likely never see mud – but every once in a while you see a gem. A completely crazy, off-the-wall, I-can’t-believe-that’s-a-Jeep Jeep. Continue reading
I spent a good part of the weekend going through thousands of pictures, and hours upon hours of video in an attempt to clean up and reorganize my laptop and hard drives. I was successful, but also realized that I never posted the pictures of the Firecracker Red JKs I’ve spotted over the last few months. I found two unlimited Sports, and a 2 door Willys – still huniting for a color match top. Continue reading
