Keep Your Carpets Looking New!


You bought a Jeep because you were making an investment in your vehicle. You wanted something that would not only be good for daily driving but road tripping too. You take your prized Jeep in for regular oil changes and tune ups along with making sure that any problems are addressed quickly in order to keep it running smoothly. However, do you take just as much care when it comes to keeping the interior in tip top shape?

Most Jeep owners are the kind of people who like to get out and take advantage of everything that Mother Nature has to offer. This will mean heading out for road trips all year long and even braving the elements when the cold and bitter winter weather strikes. While you might have no problem at all when cutting through the snow and ice with your Jeep, you might find it to be a bit difficult trying to keep this mess from coming inside on your feet!

When you are looking to protect the carpets on the floor of your Jeep, help is just as easy as laying down a set of slush-style floor mats. These great floor mats are just the thing that you need in order to hold all of the mess in one place without it being able to escape and stain your carpeting. The floor mats are made from durable material with deep grooves that are just right for keeping your carpet clean all year long. You can even order the slush-style floor mats in either dark taupe or dark slate to match your Jeep's interior.

Start Planning Roadtrips With the Kids!

Today was Groundhog Day and in true form, the groundhog appeared today and saw his shadow - which portends six more weeks of winter weather. However, it's not too early to start planning road trips and if you have kids, make the ride even more fun by adding some cool accessories to your Jeep Compass.

Jeeps are dependable, rugged and will get you from any point A to point B with ease that is unmatched; this is one of the reason Jeep owners are so loyal to the brand. Now Jeep has come out with an entire line of accessories that make the ride sheer luxury.

When warm weather arrives, take off for the beach with your family. Another cool idea is to plan a camping trip and you can even get a jeep tent that will hook up to the back of your vehicle and enable your kids to watch a DVD or play a video game after dark.

Many parents pack a travel pack for their kids so they don't have to keep stopping for snacks along the way. Pack some sandwiches, low mess fruits such as apples, bananas or pears and veggies such as carrots all make great munching that is also healthy. Pack plenty of water and/or juices for the kids. This will keep their energy up and is a far better idea than trapping yourself in a vehicle with kids that get sugared up candy and cookies and then are bouncing off the walls of the Jeep for most of the road trip and then crashing when you finally arrive.

Traveling with kids can be a learning experience for your kids and you can make the getting there part even more enjoyable by planning ahead to keep your kids busy for the ride and that way you won't have to keep answering the ages old question of , "Are we there yet?".

Cold Weather is Coming - Are You Prepared in Case You're Stranded?

It doesn't matter if you have the newest model Wrangler or a Jeep that is years and years old. You can get stranded and while you're waiting for help, during the colder months it's essential that you have items available to keep yourself and your family or traveling companions warm until you can get out of the situation.

First of all, put together your own little kit and keep it in your Jeep at all times. Put a few thermal blankets, an LED lantern that runs on batteries not fuel, jumper cables, a basic tool kit, band aids, duct tape, electrical tape, a heavy duty tow strap, road side flairs, a "Help Call Police" sign for your windshield another type of sign that gets a quick response from passing motorists is "Children Inside - Call Police", portable warmers (like hunters and military personnel use) and some people even pick up MRE's (military ready to eat meals) and put them in their Jeep-just in case. The MRE's have a shelf life of years so you can toss a few in your kit and forget about them, additionally many MRE's have a self heating feature so you can warm your insides while you're waiting for help.

In the event you are stranded and you are unable to get a signal on your cell phone, you may wind up spending the night in a cold and dark place. Also make sure a crank battery is part of your kit. You can recharge a cellphone, power lights and other items, even if your battery is dead. Just a few turns of the crank and you've generated electricity.

If you're traveling with kids, they will feel a lot better if you have a lantern handy and everyone can cuddle up with extra blankets. If there is a chance of traffic on the road you're on - put up the sign in your windshield and you can use a roadside flair to make sure your vehicle is visible to any traffic passing by. You can stay warm by popping open the warmers and given one to each child. The warmers work by creating a chemical reaction that will generate heat for roughly two hours. They are available in most military and outdoor supply stores. When you're stocking your roadside kit - stock enough for an overnight stay for at least 3-4 people so you have enough to keep everyone warm throughout the night if you may be stranded that long.

There are a lot of things you can do to prepare for the unexpected. Your Jeep was built to handle the most extreme of conditions, however there may come a situation where are you stranded for a while and it's for those times you need to be prepared so you can get through being stranded in safety and a minimum of stress.

A Guide Along the Way That Never Sleeps

One of the best things about owning a Jeep is you're never forced to stay on the paved road and you can exploring and find your own roads to travel. If you love to camp and spend time outdoors you can take advantage of the many 4-wheeling trails made for Jeeps and explore the wilder side of the trail on your own terms.

A great way to spend a weekend with your family is to bring along the tailgate attaching tent, your Jeep bicycles and find a remote place in the woods to go camping. Forget the crowded campgrounds and find a place where your family can camp in quiet, peaceful solitude. Many national forests and state managed lands have campsites scattered around many areas of the forest and some are remote enough that unless you have the 4-wheel drive power of a Jeep, you won't be able to make to the campsite.

You don't need a lot to go camping. Just your tent, light sources such as a couple of LED lanterns, food that is stored in a couple of coolers, water, personal toiletries and materials for a contained fire to gather around at night. You can spend a fun weekend camping and get away from the hassles of everyday life, the yard work, cell phones, extra-curricular activities and stresses from your work life can all be placed on hold as you enjoy rediscovering spending time with your family. http://store.yahoo.com/yhst-83673118800219/trgunasy.html">A trail guide is a very handy gadget to along as you explore. It can actually show you where you are on the trail and what to expect.

Let your Jeep show you what it can really do and the next weekend outing you plan for your family - make it a wilderness adventure that everyone will enjoy and when you get lost, it will be on purpose!

The Ultimate Spacesaving Transportation -A Folding Bike!

It happens fast doesn't it? You get a Jeep and you realize you love to take off on road trips, and then you find you are packing way too much stuff that you "need" into your Jeep. If you love to hit the trails and explore in a green fashion in areas you roam, a bicycle is a must.

When space has become an option, it's a great idea to invest in a folding bicycle. The Jeep Compass Folding Bicycle is ready to ride in seconds when unfolding and takes up less than eight cubic feet of space when folded and stashed in the cargo compartment of your Jeep.

If you wind up flying to your destination instead of driving, this bicycle is just a few inches too large to be used in a standard carry on bag with the updated restrictions most major airlines have, however it can still be checked at luggage with no problem and that way you will have a bicycle to use when you sightsee in another locale. It is even more convenient if you use the optional carry bag for your Jeep bike.

This bike has 6 speeds and is made with the same attention to suspension, comfortable ride and durability as other Jeep bicycle designs. Other great features on this bicycle include the magnesium folding frame and alloy linear pull brakes that will always give you confidence in your stopping power. The aluminum 36 spoke wheels are sturdy and can handle street use as well as off-road with ease. The knobby tread MTB tires will assure that you have a good grip on the road or trails you choose to ride. The Shimano shift level is easy to use and won't jam the way you may have encountered on other shifters. This bike also includes mudguards on the front and year along with an alloy kickstand for when you want to take a break from the action on your Jeep bike.

You can save space and be green at the same time with a folding Jeep bike, if you need an optional form of transportation or you need a great gift, a folding bike is the ideal choice.

Mom, Dad, Are We There Yet?

If you have children then you have already been asked this question more than you could have ever expected for a lifetime. There is just something that is programmed within kids that they just cannot seem to wait for anything. When you are out and about for road trips or even quick runs to the mall or the grocery store with your children in your Jeep Commander, there must be a better way to keep them occupied than having to tell them every two minutes how many miles there are until you all reach your chosen destination.

While the thought of a DVD player in the vehicle may not sound like a good idea to some parents, the smart and now very happy parents have already taken the step to have one of these beauties installed in their Jeep Commander. Ready to play their favorite DVDs and keep them occupied for hours and hours while you are out on the road, this is the kind of purchase that you will always be able to justify.

You may be wondering how you are going to be able to keep your sanity while having to listen to a children's sing-along movie or even some crazy pre-teen love story over and over again while you are riding. Well, keep in mind that you can actually bypass the sound on this incredible find by having your kids listen to the action through wireless headphones! Could there be anything sweeter than that while you are enjoying each and every outing in your Jeep Commander?

When the thought of giving and incredible and memorable gift is on the top of your holiday to-do list, shopping with Jeep is a great answer!

Never Leave Home Without a Tent


It might be true that a Jeep can take you just about anyplace imaginable. However, once you're there, it will make life a whole lot easier if you can at least stay the night. And, having a tent that attaches to the jeep will come in handy if it's monsoon season in the location where you've chose to camp under the stars.

The 10' by 10' by ten blue and gray tent is the perfect selection for the camper that wants to set up shop in a hurry. You get some great accessories for this nifty and durable tent. It includes full rain fly, inside pockets, storage bag, and an overhead storage net. And, when you get the urge to zip out on some new adventure, the tent is also designed to stand alone when detached from your jeep.

Of course, you may not set out to spend the night under the stars, but it sure won't hurt anything to be fully prepared. It's a great accessory that's easy on the wallet or purse as well. So, if you own a Liberty, Wrangler, Grand Cherokee, Patriot, or Jeep Compass, the great road trip is just around the corner. And, it pretty much frees the adventurer to plan that road trip most anytime of the year. Like the Jeep itself, the blue and gray tent is durable and dependable when and where it counts.

Don't leave home without it. It's just as important as the safety equipment or any other accessories needed for a fun holiday or excursion about the country.
