Clear View Plastic & Glass Cleaner / Protectant For Jeep Wranglers (And Motorcycles): Our Review

clear-view-jeep-soft-top-cleaner

Jim and I have used Raggtop cleaner & protectant every time we clean our Jeep Wrangler's soft top and vinyl windows for years now. We've been extremely loyal to this product because it works so well. Plus, it's quite popular in the Jeeping industry, and Jeep owners highly recommend it. We've pretty much been using Raggtop products since Day One when we bought our Jeep over 7 years ago. However, we recently tried a new product on our Jeep Wrangler soft top, vinyl windows, and all … [Read more...]

What Fun Jeep Things Are On Your Bucket List?…

A friend of ours took this pic on a recent roadtrip:   It got me thinking about all the Jeep stuff that's currently on my own bucket list. "Buy a Jeep Wrangler" was on my list pretty much ever since I could drive, as evidenced by this scrapbook page I made after college:   Now that that one's been accomplished (3 times over... we're on our 3rd Jeep now!), it's time to get busy on all those fun things we've been meaning to do in our Jeep and all the fun places we've been … [Read more...]

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.

jeep-at-4wheel-parts

Well, it's been a month now since we got a 3-inch lift kit and new tires for our 2004 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. We ordered everything from the 4WheelParts store in Nashville ...which took a long time. The lift kit was setting in our foyer for weeks before the wheels arrived at the Nashville store. Then the tires took even longer for some reason. That said, it was the best thing we ever did for the Jeep! Here's the scoop. But first, some before (top row) & after (bottom row) … [Read more...]

Play The Jeep Geocaching Game Online

Last year, Jeep had a fun contest where they hid Jeep Travel Bugs all across the U.S. and with the aid of a GPS, you could participate in their game to win fun prizes. This year, there's no such game (yet), but they do have an online version of Jeep geocaching that they're letting people download and play for free. This is a serious game for diehard Jeepers though... it's a 63 MB download! Free?  Yes. But this is not a game to be taken lightly. My guess is that those who download … [Read more...]

The Freedom Grill FG50: We Own It & Love It!

Jim and I own the FG 50 from Freedom Grill. We got it specifically for use with our Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Boy, are we glad we did. Our Freedom Grill has actually come in handy more than we initially thought! They call this portable propane BBQ grill "The Official Grill Of Tailgating"...   Where We've Used It At first, we thought we'd use the Freedom Grill for tailgate parties. Not necessarily for football tailgates, concert tailgates, or anything like … [Read more...]
