But don’t worry… Off Road Capabilities stay high.

By Andy Lightbody

It seems like the venerable Jeep Wrangler has been around since God was a little boy. Ask every off-road traveler and they’ll tell you that the Wrangler has and continues to be one of the most iconic vehicles for hunters, campers, fishermen and back country travelers. Which is why, every time you hear that Jeep is bringing out a “new” or “redesigned” Wrangler…. Many of us want to bite our lower lips and say… “NO!” You can’t change MY Jeep. Continue Reading

Same skin and styling, but with new bones under the sheet metal make this truck ready for the rough stuff.

By Andy Lightbody

From a historical standpoint, big pickup trucks were the rage in the 1970s. Then came the first infamous gas-crunch/crisis, and all the makers were sent scrambling to make mini-trucks, midi-trucks and down-sized squeak boxes!

With roots that go back to 2002, the Jeep Liberty has continued to be refined and enhanced, since its last major make-over back in 2008. So with only 2 years since getting a major overhaul, there are not a lot of new whistles and bells for 2010 or 2011. That however is not a bad thing.

If you’re looking for a small SUV that loves being off the beaten path, the Liberty should be on your list of top considerations. Tipping the scales at around 4100 pounds, and a wheelbase of 106.1 inches, the Liberty has style that many say, gives it a chiseled look. To me, it’s all Jeep that has a rough iconic styling, without a lot of flowing and sweeping lines. After all, it’s a Jeep and an off road vehicle! Continue Reading

Yep, it’s official… its winter! And for a lot of us, it’s finally time to watch the sunset on all the fun we’ve had all this past year with our ATVs. And yes, I know there are some die-hards out there that keep their machines up and running all winter for everything from late season hunts and ice fishing trips, to going out and plowing the driveway.

Finally an Outdoorsman Pickup Truck, designed by Outdoorsmen.

By Andy Lightbody

Without question, sportsmen today have a selection of back-country and off-road trucks and SUVs, that probably rate as the best offerings in automotive history. All you have to do is think back historically, and for early “off-roading pioneers,” most vehicles had their roots as military vehicles.
