Jeeping 101 (MEGA GALLERY)

May 27, 2009 Events No Comments
dsc_0741.jpg At some point everyone wanted one. If you happened to own one, chances are good that you really did not use it to its full potential. That whole Jeep thing; some say you won’t understand, I say you just may.

Recently a friend of mine invited me for a ride-along with his Jeep club, Bay State Jeepers. The club is a family oriented Jeep-only club (sorry FJ Cruiser owners); it focuses on near-stock to slightly modified street-legal Jeeps and practices Tread Lightly principles. Enjoy the pictures.

 

 

Now, this was not your everyday “hey let’s get coffee and shoot the shit” type of a thing but a real club-organized off-road trail run. Since I’m really short on time this week, let’s make this a photo-journalistic approach to off-roading, and in future articles I’ll go into detail about the following:

  • building (real Jeep are built, not bought) a basic trail-worthy TJ Wrangler,
  • various building options,
  • the basics of off-roading and general common sense principles.
  • compromises
  • Off-roading and kids
  • I’ll also be tackling the often-not-discussed issue of destination versus just getting there.

Regarding the pics:

  • I tried to remove the people and focus on the Jeeps. I also covered up the license plates to give everyone that nice, warm feeling inside. :-P
  • If you see yourself or your Jeep and would like to be removed for whatever reason, please contact me.
  • If you see yourself or your Jeep and would like a high-resolution version emailed to you, contact me or post a comment below.

Project ET-001: BMW M62 4.4L V8 Engine

Project ET-001: BMW M62 4.4L V8 Engine

I still remember the day I saw the first one. It was a nice early spring day in 1997 and I was in walking around near Battery Park in downtown Manhattan. There in the corner of my eye I saw it; jet black, on its three-piece wheels which came only on the models with six-speed [...]

Driving Jaguar’s new XFR, on the Road and on the Track

I have recently had the opportunity to drive the new Jaguar XFR on the road and on a race track. With the XFR competing directly against the BMW M5, which I have also had the opportunity to drive on the track and on the street, it only made sense to evaluate the XFR while using [...]

Cars of Paris

French cars; some say they’re ugly, some say they’re beautiful, all agree that they’re unreliable. However, there is something about them that makes you want to look. These pictures were taken in March of 2007, my wife’s and mine last trip before the birth of our daughter. Selected for your viewing pleasure are not only [...]
