For the first time ever, the 2007 Camp Jeep New York will be held outdoors in conjunction with the 2007 New York International Auto Show (NYIAS) that will take place at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in Manhattan on April 6 to 15.

The Camp Jeep New York will take place at the Inner Roadway of the Javits Center with an area of 45,000 square feet. More than 35,000 visitors are expected to take participate on the Camp Jeep New York. Participants at the Camp Jeep New York will experience the world’s most capable 4×4 vehicles along with their respective owners and their lifestyle, and a bunch of off-road driving adventures and driving contests. These includes the Jeep Trail Rated Test Track, which includes off-road driving conditions such as water fording, ground clearance, articulation, traction and maneuverability demonstrations. The Jeep Trail Rated Test Track also consists of seven different off-road surfaces like dirt, mulch, gravel, rocks, water, wood and asphalt. Consumers will have a chance to drive in these situations riding some of the 2007 Jeep off-road vehicle models equipped with Jeep radiator hose including Commander, Grand Cherokee, Liberty, Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited. In addition, an 18-foot vertical climb on a man made Jeep Mountain is also included, which comprises of more than 220 yards of dirt and mulch.

The Jeep brand has got something more interesting for consumers. One lucky Jeep owner who takes one of the test drive will have a chance to win an all expense package trip with his or her family to Camp Jeep Virginia. The annual Camp Jeep Virginia will take place at the Oak Ridge Estate in Nelson County, near Charlottesville in July 26 to 28. The event is for Jeep owners to have a three-day fun with their Jeep model conducting family friendly activities with other Jeep owners as well as off-road driving experience.

Tim McGraw will perform some of his most popular songs that hit the country music airwaves including “Live like You Were Dying”, “Real Good Man”, and his recent single “Last Dollar” from his new album “Let It Go.”

Meanwhile, going back to the Camp Jeep New York, consumers will also have the opportunity to join other activities at the event including 16-foot climbing wall, play video games, and photo shots in the Jeep Photo Zone where they can take pictures with a Jeep vehicle. In addition, there will be a mini test drive at the Mini Jeep Kidz Course. This will allow kids aged 3 and above to test drive mini Jeep models at the course.

Great Gifts for Jeep Owners

Friday, January 15th, 2010

Most jeep owners are active individuals that enjoy the outdoors and the country. They enjoy camping or taking an off-road drive during the weekend. For those planning to get a gift for a jeep person, it should be noted that most jeep gifts are geared towards people who love the outdoors. Most jeep enthusiasts enjoy owning all kinds of jeep gear and this should be taken into consideration when shopping for a gift. So, here are ideas for gifts to give jeep owners on their birthday or other special occasion. 

Jeep Attire And Jewelry  

For simple gifts, one can get jeep outfits and jewelry that contain the jeep logo. There are t-shirts, jackets and hats for all sizes so one can also get gifts for the kids of jeep owners. One can also get jewelry not only for women but also for men.  For women, there are jeep earrings and charms while for men there are watches and other items such as scissors, knives and light. 

Sound Bar  

Some jeep owners would appreciate a gift for their jeeps as opposed to gifts for themselves. In this case, one can help them make their jeeps stylish by getting them a sound bar especially if they appreciate music. The sound bar allows jeep owners to install six speakers and position them in an out of the way area that is at their ear level. This increases the music quality in the jeep without interfering with one’s storage space or comfort. 

Jeep Bikes 

Bicycles and tricycles are available for the entire family and for all terrains so that they can enjoy a ride without compromising on their outdoor values. They can change from the jeep to the bicycles and save on gas money. 

Seat And Tire Covers  

Covers are an excellent gift to get because they add some art to one’s jeep. The covers can be printed to represent the jeep owner’s personality such as the humorous, the patriotic or the classical covers. 

Jeep Furniture 

An example of jeep furniture is the travel mug which is jeep heated. The 14 oz. stainless steel mug also contains a double wall which acts as an excellent insulator to keep drinks cold or heat them up using the jeep’s 13.5 watt car adapter. It also has a spill proof lid for those rough and bumpy roads. Another example of jeep furniture is a jeep clock. This neon clock is 12” in diameter and has a jeep logo displayed in its centre as well as a trim ring that is made of polished chrome. For the jeep owner’s home, you can get a jeep mug, a jeep comforter or a jeep stein collection for beer lovers. 

Jeep Movies And Radio Lantern  

There are several jeep movies that have become classics including “Four Jills in a Jeep” and “Virtual History of Cars and Jeeps” 

It is evident that there is a wide variety of gifts for jeep owners. However, if none of these gifts is convenient for the jeep owner, it is easier and safer to just get a jeep gift certificate.

I’m a thirty-year-old single guy. I like dogs, the outdoors, my Jeep Wrangler, autumn, good wine, travel, photography…
I’m trying to integrate my “likes” into my home. I have painted my living/dining room two colors of khaki, and a chalkboard-green wall. I have a brown leather couch, and walnut tables and bookcases. I’ve also remodeled my guest bathroom – new flooring, hardware, paint, etc.
However, I’m trying to get ideas on decorating… accent pieces, dining room furniture, bedroom furniture (blank slate right now) and my own bathroom. I need help finding websites for “bachelor pads” and masculine design (not a lot of flowery-things). I’d like to redo the kitchen with the small tiles as a backsplash.
I’d like to find websites/books/magazines that show off a masculine home. Pictures are a must!!
The main goals are to have a cool guy’s house and up the resale value.
Serious responses only… any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Beach Jeep Tours Show the Beauty of the Outer Banks

Friday, December 11th, 2009
Kathryn Lively


Visitors to the Outer Banks know that the beach is the prime attraction. With miles of sand kissing the gentle waves of the Atlantic Ocean, and the prospect of great fishing and surfing, Dare County and Currituck County offer many fun possibilities for a vacation any time of year. One way to appreciate the beach and its beauty is with a self-guided Jeep tour.

Renting a Jeep to explore the Outer Banks allows visitors to see parts of the coastal area of North Carolina that otherwise might not be visited on foot. As the Outer Banks is situates far on the Eastern seaboard of the United States, there are a number of parts unable to be developed. However, these natural preserves are home to North Carolina’s enchanting wildlife – graceful, long-necked birds, colorful sea creatures, and the wild horses that have roamed in packs for centuries along the shores.

A Jeep rental allows visitors to traverse the rugged and compromising terrain surrounding the marshes and estuaries of the Outer Banks. Rental companies, too, provide maps and guides so the vehicles do not disturb the ecosystem. To keep the environment clean and safe for future visitors, most tour companies schedule rentals for certain times of the day so the beach is not overrun with vehicles. Sunset tours are especially popular as sightseers are granted a different view of the Outer Banks, when nocturnal animals like ghost crabs and foxes come out into the night to feed.

If you are considering a Jeep tour of the Outer Banks as part of your vacation, please remember that some companies may only operate during season, which usually starts in May and runs through late summer. Always check ahead with any company in advance and make a reservation. Pricing may vary according to the time of year. As these tours are a popular attraction, Jeeps may be booked rather quickly.

The Mother of All Jeep Tours

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009
Dave Sean Brooks


Ok, maybe when you think of jeep tours you think of those pink jeep tours in Arizona. There fine, I am not disparaging that kind of tour. But I wanted to experience something more exotic, more remote and I found it when I traveled to Iceland in late fall. I have been craving some adventure and not being particularly athletic; I wanted the kind of adventure that didn’t require heavy lifting or long hikes at high altitude. So, I looked into the tours being offered from Reykjavik and came across a number of tour operators offering super-jeep tours.

First let me say that you may not think that Icelander’s are into off-roading, there you’d be mistaken. There are tons and tons of off-roading to be had in that country. And, the super-jeeps are just that, super – super cool that is. A lot of these four wheel drive trucks are brands that aren’t offered or common in America, like the Nissan Patrol or Land Rover Defenders. These trucks get a glacier trekking outfitting and come out looking like they could tackle just about anything. And, turns out they almost have to.

I booked a trip with a tour operator and chose one of their glacier tours which, obviously, are available all year. On the way to the glacier (don’t ask me t try and spell the name of the glacier) we had to ford two streams. Actually they were more like rivers. These super jeeps all have snorkels just for this purpose, a truck accessory that I have never really given much thought to. That could be because I didn’t know what they were for, well now I do. Just in case you don’t know, a snorkel is for crossing streams so that the engine can keep drawing in air for combustion instead of water, which is a no-no.

Then we got to the glacier and we had to stop to lower the tire pressure in the massive tires on our tour jeep. For glacier tours, the jeeps, in my case Land Rover Defenders, can only hold 5 people for weight considerations and you must deflate the tires a little bit. Anyways, once this was complete we headed out onto the glacier and after a few minutes were surrounded by white and sometimes the blue-green ice common in glaciers. It was spectacular. Our driver was very experienced and the jeep certainly up to the task with GPS and others gadgetry. This wasn’t just your 5 mph jeep tour, like we were at Disneyland or something. No, our driver took chances and went over steep ridges and over some small jumps. It was thrilling, beautiful and surreal.

Then about half way through the tour we stopped for a light lunch. We had some Icelandic goodies and then some beer and schnapps (not the driver). The driver created a table and benches out of snow and we sat there eating and drinking somewhere on a huge glacier on this tiny island nation just below the Arctic Circle – what an adventure.

I went seeking adventure and I got it. But I also found beauty and some of the most exotic and surreal scenery I have ever witnessed. If you are into adventures, you have to try this someday.
