Jeep Drives to Florida for a Jeep Party!

Posted on by

UntitledEven Jeep deserves a vacation.

Five whole days were dedicated to all things Jeep over the weekend thanks to the Mid-Florida Jeep Club. They pulled all their rides together to party with Jeep owners from all over. Saturday was the big day with everyone heading to the Daytona International Speedway to compete in a “show-n-shine” competition. It wasn’t all about looks though, it was also about showing off the capabilities that make the Jeep so infamous. That’s why the beauty pageant potion of the contest was only the half of it. Next up was the obstacle course.

This year was a big one for the event. It marked their 10th anniversary. It’s very popular with Jeep drivers who come not just from nearby Florida, but even as far away as Alaska!

Joe Hogan, a first time attendee, was drawn in not just by his appreciation of Jeep, but also as a thing to do with his family. “I think it’s a family oriented vehicle,” he said. “You can come out and have fun with your family and your friends.”

The event also isn’t just about showing enthusiasts cool Jeeps, it’s also about giving back. The event raised money for the Volusia/Flagler Boys and Girls Club and the Blue Ribbon Coalition, a nonprofit group that promotes access to public lands. In the previous year, the event raised 30,000 for the charities.

After the Jeeps were put through their paces and marveled over, the event ended at the Shores Resort. The attendees then got to enjoy their final day of the event with a pool party and luncheon.

10th Anniversary Jeep Wrangler Rubicon

Posted on by

2013-rubicon-anniversary-gallery-02It’s time for an anniversary! Don’t worry, it’s not one that you forgot for a significant other (at least I hope not) but for the Jeep Rubicon. Hard to believe that the popular Jeep started life just a decade ago. Jeeps is celebrating by offering up a new version of the vehicle for Wrangler lovers who want something to mark the occasion.

So what was added to the already phenomenal Jeep Wrangler Rubicon? For starters, the interior has an optional Radar Red and Black leather-trimmed for the seats. The seats come standard with heating for the front as well. There’s a stamped name plate for the Jeep right on the front passenger grab handle. There’s even a plague on the dash that lists the Jeep’s technical details.

Of course the Rubicon has stayed popular for so long due to the one of a kind ruggedness it offers that Jeep fans expect. If you build a Jeep that celebrates 10 years of that expectation, you’d better make sure it shows. So Jeep put in a steel reinforced, winch-capable premium front bumper that has the fog lamps built right in so it can tackle the toughest terrain. A stamped steel skid plate makes it so that the Rubicon can take the punches that the outdoors give. Thanks to the BFGoodrich that come standard, the Jeep is able to take on slick rocks, wet mud, even sand due to the the wider foot print and improved sidewall protection.

The 10th Anniversary Rubicon also has a specially designed hood. A power dome, special drainage systems, and side vents are specifiably designed to support off-road hijinks.
