admin says Photo Contest Submissions - compile into videos

UPDATE: participant photos now included in our JJUSA Trip Finder videos.

As part of the JJUSA photo contest, we've got a bunch of participant-submitted photos to upload-- instead of doing the traditional static pic approach, we might compile them into a basic YouTube-style video montage so its accessible to more viewers.



A few years ago we taped some personal interviews with Mark A. Smith when we visited him and his family out in CA; we've got the footage captured, just need to edit and post... probably have updated this fall.

So, no room in the garage, and I'm tired of people messing with my Jeep, breaking into the console, stealing sunglasses, cell phone chargers etc. I'd rather not carry a "man bag", but I have too much stuff(garage door opener, cell phone charger, stereo faceplate, sunglasses, iPod, iPod cable, etc.) to carry in/out every night. So, I'm thinking it's time for an alarm with a proximity sensor. Any suggestions?



Tired of searching for your Jeep® content in the YouTube haystack? We've added a new embedded, customizable player to the bottom of each page showing Jeep-related news and reviews from filtered YouTube content based on keywords and pre-selected premium content.



amoody6 says Fiberglass Bodies?

I have a 79 Cj7 with good running gear (chevy 400 engine, dana 44 rear axle, winch etc). The body of my jeep is a rust bucket and I was thinking about getting a fiberglass body. One of the advertisements said it was an easy swap. Does anybody have any experience with this and could give me a realistic idea of how long it would take and the level of difficulty? I have not met anybody who has done this. Any info would be helpful. Thanks.

admin says Trip Chooser - new search page to match Jeep and driver

Redrock's recent post asking whether the Appalachian Jamboree would be appropriate for his Liberty had me thinking... how does one quickly/easily search through all the 30+ JJUSA trips to find one that matches their own Jeep capabilities?



JKJeremy says Heard that one song?

Hi guys. I was watching vids over at YouTube and came across Nova Scotia Jeep Club's video. The song playing in the background is "Redneck Jeep Club". A cover of "Redneck Yacht Club". The cover is by Mike Cough. Have you heard it? Do you know where it can be bought/downloaded?

admin says Driving 101 - Introduction

Have fun! But this is for informational purposes only, NOT a substitute for proper, hands-on lessons by a qualified instructor. Read important guidelines.

Almost anyone can drive off-road by following a few simple rules and using common sense.
