Whether you’ve been using your Jeep all winter or it’s been waiting patiently in the garage for warmer weather, it’s time to get it ready to hit the road this spring. Your Jeep is an investment, and it’s important to keep it well-maintained so you’re not stuck on the side of the trail when you go off-roading this year, so be sure to check out these Jeep spring maintenance tips! Get It Clean Whether you DIY your car washing or have it detailed by a pro, you can’t skip this step before you go back out on the road. Snow means salt, and that means residue that can damage your Jeep. Make sure your exterior cleaning is thorough enough to clean off the residue; it can eat away at the paint and eventually lead to corrosion. Don’t overlook the undercarriage — this needs a high-pressure washdown too. If your fenders are messy and gunked up, consider upgrading to a set of off-road fenders. When you’re done cleaning off the mess, head to your headlights. Well-lit trails and roadways are key to staying safe, and if you can’t get your headlights clean it’s time for a replacement. Check Things Out Now that your Jeep is thoroughly clean, it’s time to get down to the nuts and bolts of maintenance. Think About Modifications Now is a great time to make an appointment to upgrade your Jeep with custom modifications. Are you ready to take on spring in your Jeep? Follow the checklist of maintenance tips above and get ready to hit the road! If you need a fresh set of eyes or you’re looking for modifications, we’re your team. Get in touch!

After an invert, Cole Custer was granted pole position for the 160-lap Pro Invitational Series finale at North Wilkesboro, a newly scanned iRacing track and a circuit NASCAR hasn't competed at since 1996.

Didier Auriol dismissed the Network Q RAC Rally as just another event in his calendar, preferring not to think of what was at stake on the final round of the 1994 World Rally Championship. "OK," he said, "I am a little bit nervous, but no more than at any other event. The rally is really important but it is not the end of the world." One could be forgiven for wondering if the 36-year-old ...Keep reading View the full article

Didn’t your mom and dad tell you? Never make finger drawings on dirty or dusty vehicles after a long day on the trail. The stick figures and juvenile phallic symbols may be considered funny when shared between friends, but using your finger—or anything else—as a drawing implement scratches the paint. Plus, get caught doing this View the full article

It may seem that actual overlanding and virtual overlanding are polar opposites. The former implies doing while the latter implies watching. We don’t really know, though, because virtual overloading is not something that comes up very often. However, for better or for worse, the beginning of 2020 has brought about a shift in how we View the full article

Xbox One First up were the Xbox drivers, who put on a caution-free 70-lap event in which last week’s winner, Daniel Buttafuoco, spent almost the entire race trying to run down pole-sitter Justin Brooks.
