Detail Your Jeep Interior the Easy Way


After a winter of being shut up, your Jeep could probably use a little freshening up but you've probably also found yourself putting it off because you thought it would be a ton of work. The good news is that it's a whole lot easier than you think when you know some short cuts.

First of all, vacuum the interior of your Jeep throughly. This means vacuum the corners, cracks and crevices everywhere. If there's dirt, it will basically turn to mud if it gets wet so the idea is to get it out of your Jeep when it's dry.

Next, attack any spots in your upholstery and carpeting with a dab of cleaner and a brush. You can remove 99.9% of stains in this way. The cleaner will loosen the dirt's hold on the carpet and upholstery fibers and the brush will do the work of further knocking everything loose.

After spot cleaning, just use your interior cleaner over your carpets to freshen them up and then vacuum your Jeep's interior one last time after it dries and you'll have a clean Jeep that smells great!

Use This Simple Gadget to Greatly Lower Your Chances of Causing a Vehicle Accident


You may not be guilty of it but it's happened to you; you're driving up a street and suddenly someone swerves out in front of you - they weren't paying attention they were struggling to hold a cell phone up to their ear while driving. Or you've had the dreaded instant lane change where someone in front of you swerved right into your lane because they didn't see you as they were too busy trying to balance a tiny cell phone on their ear while driving. No matter how good of a driver you are, you too can become a hazard if you attempt to hold a cell phone when driving.

While conventional wisdom says that it is never a good idea to talk on a cell phone at all, important calls are going to happen when you're on the road and you just can't plan emergencies, if someone needs to get in touch with you - they need you right then. Instead of being a hazard on the road, become the good example.

If you have a Jeep year model 2002 or better, you can use some great hands free cell phone technology. UConnect is the exclusive voice-activated, hands-free, in-vehicle communications system for your Jeep and it just uses a small control pad, microphone and speaker. You don't have to take your hands off the wheel of your Jeep to dial or answer you cell phone as it is voice activated. Additionally, the UConnect system will automatically lower or mute your stereo if it is playing so you don't have to fiddle with turning the music down when you're driving. It allows you to store up to 32 names and four numbers per name (128 entries) in the system's phone book, and is flexible enough for an entire family (up to five phones can be linked to the system).

It's possible to be a safe and connected driver when you use the hands free technology that allows you to still get important calls but keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road.

Tips for Traveling With Pets

This article should be more accurately titled, "Tips for Traveling With Dogs" because so few people would ever remotely consider taking their cats for a road trip. Do visions of clawed up vehicle interiors and a yowling kitty for 1,000 miles spring to mind?

So, let's talk dogs. Nearly all dogs are wonderful travelers and they fare much better emotionally by being taken along for the ride instead of left behind where they simply pine and miss you. If you're going to travel with your dog, you're going to need a few things to make his ride safe and comfortable as well as save the interior of your Jeep.

First of all, give him a safe place to ride. A nice, comfy spot in the back of your Jeep with a dog bed of his own to lay on will keep him down and safe. A dog that is jumping from seat to seat is a distraction and worse, if you are in an impact, your canine buddy will be projected forward like a bullet and will run the risk of being seriously injured or even killed. If you love him, secure him. You can use his leash and one of the LATCH hooks in the back that a child's car seat can attach to and you'll keep your dog safe and secure for the ride (not to mention really comfy on his dog bed!).

Next, pit stops for potty breaks are inevitable when you take your pooch along. Never let your dog out without a leash. It may or may not be the law where you are stopping on your road trip; but also even the most well-trained dogs can become spooked and run in a strange place. Don't let your dog be a lost pet statistic. A simple leash will mean the difference between looking for a dog and letting him out to do his business and then back in the Jeep for the rest of the ride. Also, bring along a scooper and bag and dispose of your dog's waste. True, not everyone is polite enough to do it, but you're not like everyone else either.

A portable water and food bowls are a great idea so your dog can stay hydrated and happy along the way!
