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.

Jeep Owners Tackle the Wildest Terrain

Posted on by

Jeep has always been a popular brand, but it usually tends to attract the more adventurous drivers. The ones that are looking for a vehicle that will give them the best when taken up against the outdoors. At the Guam International Raceway over the weekend, those same kind of drivers got together for an entire day dedicated to Jeep tackling challenging terrain at the Jeep Jungleree 2012.

The day stated with a Jeepology 101 course where new comers were give a lesson on the basics behind the four-wheel-drive vehicles. After that brief lesson it was time for a three-mile trail run in the jungle. Almost 50 Jeeps were on half of the racetrack at a time. Joey Crisostomo, president of Cars Plus, described the scene as, “It was like a Jeep snake going through the course in the jungle.”

The event is seen by many Jeep owners as finally getting the chance to see what their car can really do. Most of these owners don’t have access to these kinds of conditions to take full advantage of the off-roading that Jeep is so well known for.

The main portion of the day was the insane obstacle course designed to give even the most knowledgeable veterans a run for their money. It didn’t help any that all morning it was raining causing the course to be made even harder. Because of this, many new-comers found their jeeps stuck on one obstacle or another, left with their wheels spinning in air desperate to find traction. What the crowd ended up remembering the most was when a blue Jeep Laredo managed to find some airtime after launching itself from a hill course.
