Jeeps have been reviewed and tested in all kinds of conditions over the years. They've proven to be the ultimate utility vehicle.
Julian Smith and some of his Techno percussionist friends take it a step further with this video.
I've heard mixed reviews, from "the Jeep's handling is not all that responsive, but it's still fun" to "it's best for younger kids."
I haven't tried the Jeep Thrills Wii yet myself, but we're thinking of getting a Wii and the Jeeper in me makes me want to try it.
It's just for fun anyway, right? Plus, my nephew would love it when he comes to visit. We converted him into a Jeeper at a young age. Now he always asks when he can ride in the back of Uncle Jim's Jeep and asks his dad when they're going to get a Jeep. (hee hee... it worked!)
Anyways... would love to hear from fellow Jeepers if this is a decent pick for the Wii or not. Thanks in advance.
It can be confusing to know when to use the four-wheel drive in your Jeep and when not to -- especially if this is your first 4WD vehicle.
For starters, it will help if you know what the differences are between the various types of drive systems, particularly Jeep four-wheel drive systems.
This is especially true since there is a lot of confusion surrounding the terms 4WD, 2WD, Part-Time 4WD, Full-Time 4WD, Automatic 4WD, All-Wheel Drive, and what it means to shift on the fly.
Following are detailed explanations of these types of drive systems and how they work...

On Thursday April 30th 2009, Chrysler officially declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Every year, from March through October, Jeep hosts their official Jeep Jamboree events at some of the most beautiful trails all across the U.S.
They call it a Jeep owner's off-road driving tradition:
Jeep Jamborees are fun, family-oriented, four-wheel-drive adventures for Jeep vehicle owners that bring together the outdoors, down-to-earth people, and their Jeep 4x4s. -- Jeep

We all know that dogs love Jeeps. But there's no denying that kids love Jeeps, too -- probably even more!
I know the times we've taken our nephew Jeepin' he's had the time of his life, especially when we had the soft top off the Jeep Wrangler.
In case you're thinking of buying a Jeep... or taking your little one for a ride in a Jeep someday soon... I found some interesting things about kids and Jeeps that you might enjoy.

When we went to Aruba in November, we knew ahead of time that we were going to go Jeeping. Still, we waited until the last minute to reserve our Jeep.
As a result, we got what must have been THE last Jeep left to be rented on the island that day!
The lesson: don't wait til the day before to rent your Jeep. Book it a couple days early. Make your reservations through the concierge at your hotel or phone the major Jeep rental companies (like Hertz, Budget, etc) directly.
Jeep rentals in Aruba are reasonable: $50 to $60 for the full day (non-4WD vehicles are much cheaper for the day).

The island is only 19 miles long and 6 miles wide, so as long as you start early in the morning, you're likely to get all of the major sights in. It's a great way to spend a day in Aruba!
Here's what our fun-filled day of Jeeping was like in Aruba...
