Florida Issues State of Emergency
For 2017 Wildfires

News

Please use Extreme Caution if Wheeling the Everglades this time of Year

It doesn’t take much, an under performing exhaust system or maybe a power steering fluid boil over and a wild fire can be ignited. If you must be out there stay on trails where growth is minimal, avoid driving through dry material that can act as kindling, utilize a properly maintained vehicle and bring fire suppression equipment.


(Graphic from The Miami Herald ) – With La Niña in effect and a large amount of fuel from prior wet seasons now drying out, the Everglades and other preserves around Florida are at high risk for fires.

Think carefully before deciding to go out and act responsibly when wheeling this season. Consult park information pages for closures in this fast moving season.

Jeep Releases Concepts for Easter Jeep Safari

News, Vehicles

Once again coinciding with Easter Jeep Safari, Jeep has turned its concept vehicles loose on the Red Rock 4-Wheeler event. In all, seven concepts took to the Moab trails demonstrating their off road capabilities and unique designs.

The chopped look says it all. Great look for a vehicle that’s at home with open wheels.


Hmmm, clear doors on a Sahara. Down here in South Florida can we get that with a portable pressure washer for the ever present mud? The flipped rear door hinges are a nice touch.
