    I don’t want my Jeep looking like my Sienna dies at the moment, rusting away. It’s happily slumbering with a battery tender keeping it happy. But it’s snowing now….

    You aren't in Iowa!!! The only way is to put it away for the winter...... I did take it out in the blizzard we had last Saturday before the salt was laid down. I had just changed the oil cooler and need to "warm it up" to check for leaks. I keep strongly debating not putting it away...

    Being a family man, and always looking for inexpensive things, I was given a set of Rubicon Jeep Springs. I got them installed and then went for a nice long drive before tucking the Jeep away for the winter. Now I plan our escapes, also thinking through a Vedauwoo, WY trip for my son's 13th...

    Just a State Park.....I tried to take a picture in the same spot I had in my YJ, but they closed that area to vehicles. The bottom of the hill behind the JLU is where I took the YJ shot. I spent the weekend getting the Jeep and the kids dirty. We visited 3 State Parks and cruised my favorite...

    The Road Chose Me tackles Iceland

    I hadn't heard of the seat lifters. Thanks for sharing about them. As a 6'1" fella, I may benefit from them

    Texas to Alaska to Texas. 2020 Honda Accord Hybrid driving on the Dalton Highway and the Dempster Highway. July/August 2023.

    I live in Iowa and stop here for often as I travel home to Northern IL. The Jeep and Power Wagon are half the reason I stop. There isn't any good coffee or food....but at least the restrooms are clean.

    Favorite Swiss Army Knives?

    I'm huge fan of the Tinker knives, my first ever being a Super Tinker. I got it when I was 13 and still have it, though it stays home now and is used only in the house so I don't lose it. I bougth a Tinker Delux in 2016, but found it just too big for pocket carry. I use it during busy times at...

    The Road Chose Me tackles Iceland

    Understood! My trip to CO last summer was in our minivan with our kids, rather than my JLU. Kids keep you busy!

    Trip to the Okavango Delta

    Your pictures, along with the videos composted by Andrew St. Pierre-White have this man stuck in Iowa Corn fields badly wanting to take a trip there. Thanks for sharing.

    I picked this up last November after selling my YJ a year prior. It's been a joy to run around in, and fits my family. My wife loves it, which helps. Living in IA, gravel roads and Jeep club adventures is as good as it gets, unless I leave the state.

    News Flash! Americans don't want expensive and unreliable cars😳

    I think price has a lot more to do with it than reliablity. Look at all the KIA/Hyundai cars on the road that blow up engines on a regular basis! People buy them like crazy. My 2020 Sport WIllys JLU is a great rig. Hand crank windows, hand push locks, limited slip rear end, and it does all I...
