Bantam

In 1940 amist World War I, the American government needed something to output everyone else. They needed the Bantam. What's a Bantam? Well it was the first ever Jeep, not carrying the same name but all jeeps came from the Bantam design. The military needed a simple, quick, light weight reconosence vehicle. Two men showed up to the challenge, one prevailed in a 49 day deadline. Karl Probst, a Detroit engineer, was able to build the designs with no motivation at all, infact he wasnt even paid for his design. But he gave all of us Jeep lovers the thing we love the most. So for that we should thank him.

Prototype

CHECK THIS THING OUT!

It's called the Jeep Hurricane concept, and i have to say Jeep has really outdone them selves now. For those of you that dont know what a concept is, it's a car the company built that could go into production but isn't, unfortunately for the rest of us drooling when we look at it. Another example is the Corvette Stingray concept they had in Transformers Rise of the Fallen.

Good luck for us, I read in a car magazine that Chevy is going to put this car into production in 2012!

Weekend Warrior

It became apparent to me that having a car really does change your life. When i got my jeep and license, i was suddenly ambushed with kids wanting to ride in it and even drive it. To my advantage only one of my friends haggled me into driving my jeep around the city for awhile. But having my jeep definately opened up my opportunities. I can go somewhere when i want to and only have to worry about my own schedule to get everything i want done. Then to what seems to be nomal for me, off roading, is a brand new experience to others that make them scream and shout and get's them away from the normal life of boring driving.

Once upon a time

I was sitting in my classroom learning about what i need to stufy for my massive final i have in my anatomy class in about a week. But, instead i was looking out the window dreamng of those days when Colorado weather would cooperate and let some sunshine flow through those clouds and the final bell rings for my junior year. I pictured me and a lovely lady of my choice sitting by my side as we drive through the mountains on the twisting and winding roads with the top down. Not a care in the world, just making some classic summer memories for me to look back on one day. I dont know what exactly ill be doing this summer, but if you happen to spot my gold jeep somewhere, chances are im not too far away.

Im looking for some places to go trail riding this summer and i need some ideas on where to go. Ive heard that storm mountain is great for jeep trails but ive never been there...yet. Where else could i find some cool places to riding? Also i think i might have to do some body work this summer to my jeep, mostly because things are getting outdated and other things are rusting over. Maybe a full body scrub down would help the rusting and i guess money would solve my other problem. But what are some cool aftermarket parts that would look good on my jeep in particular. For example i do not like the extended fender flares because those dont look too good on 2 door jeeps.
