Top SUV’s for Off Roading

October 7th, 2008 by Justin

For those looking to maximize their fun off road, there are a few things to look for in an SUV.  Generally speaking, some of the features that make a great SUV for the trails include a very sturdy construction, a four wheel drive component with locking differential, a body on frame construction instead of the more popular and easier to produce- unibody construction and finally plenty of ground clearance.  If you are looking for a great SUV, here are two that definitely earn their marks.

Land Rover LR3
Land Rover has an impeccable reputation in the off road world.  If you are driving across the desert, through the Amazon or through the trails in America, the Land Rover will be the loyal soldier that one can rely on.  The Land Rover has a lot going for it including a decent ground clearance of 9.5 inches which makes it easy to crawl over rocks and logs.  It also include traction control settings perfect for switching between road and rock and a terrific Terrain Response feature to safely maximize your off road fun.

Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4×4
For most off road enthusiasts nothing beats a Jeep and the Rubicon 4×4 definitely doesn’t disappoint.  The Rubicon offers a ground clearance of 10.2 inches with an approach angle of 44.3 degrees and a departure angle of 40.4 degrees that makes it pretty easy to overcome a wide range of obstacles found in almost any off road trail.  The Rubicon comes with a V6 engine with plenty of power.  It should also be noted that the Rubicon is way less expensive than many SUV’s and the aftermarket is incredible- making it easy and affordable to customize your Jeep.

Get Ready for the Electric Jeep

September 23rd, 2008 by Justin

There’s big news coming from Detroit today as one of the big 3 American car manufacturers unveiled their line up of electric and hybrid vehicles.  While the Jeep was originally designed as a military vehicle, it has morphed greatly into a vehicle perfect for one to enjoy the outdoors.  As nature lovers are more conscious of the imprint they make when offroad, the electric Jeep (Jeep EV) which is slated for production in 2010 makes a lot of sense.

The Hybrid Jeep
Actually, the Jeep EV will not be a pure electric or a typical hybrid such as the infamous Toyota Prius.  Instead it will have both a gas engine and an electric motor.  The electric motor will be similar to what is expected in the Chevy Volt, it will have a range of about 40 miles on a full charge.  According to recent estimates, a full charge would take about 6 to 8 hours using a 110 volt connection (half this time for a 220 volt connection).  However, in addition to a 40 mile all electric range, the Jeep EV will also have a back up gasoline engine to enhance the vehicles distance indefinitely.

Expect Decent Performance from the Jeep EV
While much is still unknown about the specs on the 2010 Jeep EV, some details that were mentioned were that there were plans for both a 2 wheel and four wheel drive version, the engine/motor would produce about 268 hp and 296 lb/feet torque.  Acceleration will be decent at about 0 to 60 in 9 seconds and a top speed of 90 mph.

For those excited about electric vehicles, the Jeep EV is definitely a product that will surely thrill.  While there is a long way to go for electric vehicles to catch up with their gas counterparts, it looks like the future will be bright for both electric vehicles and Jeep.

The Easy Way to Replace a Jeep Soft Top

September 16th, 2008 by Justin

If you own a Jeep, probably one of the reasons you chose it besides its fantastic 4X4 abilities is that it offers the perfect way to enjoy a day in the sun by removing the soft top and making it an instant convertible- style vehicle.  A soft top gives your Jeep a functional way to offer outdoor enthusiasts plenty of fresh air and sunshine and while soft tops are generally sturdy enough to last a few years, after heavy use or a bout of unfortunate luck they do require repair or replacement.

If you are thinking about replacing your Jeep soft top, you can easily purchase one directly from Jeep or an aftermarket retailer.  Buying your soft top from an after market retailer is a great idea.  These soft tips ensure a perfect fit for your vehicle, they offer plenty of features and may even cost less than buying directly from Jeep.

Plenty of Features Are Offered for After Market Jeep Soft Tops.
On most after market Jeep soft tops you will find a wide variety of features including:

It should be noted that most after market soft tops are extremely easy to install.  Just make sure that your original soft top hardware is in good working condition.  There are plenty of manufacturers and most offer soft top solutions for your Jeep at very affordable prices.  After a quick search on the web, one can easily find soft tops available for around the $500 to $700 range and many of these products offer a multi year warranty.  If you are looking to use your Jeep for the fall or have it ready for the sun next summer, now is definitely the time to replace your damaged or old soft top.

2009 Jeep Wrangler - Unlimited Rubicon

September 14th, 2008 by Justin

If you are an off road enthusiast, then one of the legendary vehicles you can own is the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon.  The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon has made a name for itself for offering high quality, plenty of muscle and engineering to get you almost anywhere no matter the obstacles.  If you are in the market for a new Jeep, or are just interested in what is new for 2009, here is some of the latest info for the 2009 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon.

This Rubicon is sure to be one of the most popular Wranglers in recent years.  There are many advantages of this Rubicon that are making Jeep aficionados smile.  First off, the retail price fits nicely into many budgets with an MSRP of about $31, 465.  Obviously, the Rubicon is a much sweeter deal than many Range Rovers and other up market 4×4 vehicles.

2009 Jeep Wrangler - Unlimited Rubicon

Some of the specs for the engine include a 3.8L V6, 12 valve and a rated 202 horsepower @5200 rpm.  The Rubicon comes with either a 6 speed manual which is sure to please or a 4 speed automatic perfect for mom.  Unfortunately, with high gasoline prices, the Wrangler is a big sipper and most drivers will get about 15 mpg city and about 19 mph on the highway.

It should be noted that the Rubicon for its toughness and beautiful classic exterior is pretty comfy.  While one of the best Wranglers available for the trails with exemplary wheel travel, the Rubicon is also comfy enough for those that find themselves commuting to work.  In addition, you will find plenty of room in the cabin to haul all your stuff making it not only fun to drive, but extremely functional.  For those in the market for a serious Jeep, the Rubicon definitely delivers.
