2018 Ram Gets an Upgrade
Pickups are great, especially crew cabs! I appreciate a vehicle that can carry you, your family, and all your gear to destinations beyond paved roads, plus tow a trailer and haul household appliances when necessary.
There is always a set of compromises to consider when deciding between a ½, ¾, or 1-ton model pickup to meet your personal needs. After years of owning ¾ ton Ram 2500s, I switched to a ½ ton Ram 1500 Ecodiesel to optimize fuel economy and ride comfort. Let’s face it: Even though backroad adventures are fun and I’d rather spend my time on dirt, gravel, and s ..read more

CHOOSING THE PERFECT STARTER KNIFE
Our first grandchild, a precious baby girl named Ollie, was born a few days ago. Being the avid knife collector and user that I am, I’ve had her first couple of knives picked out for months already. Every knife person I know has looked forward to gifting the youngsters in their life with their first knives. While I’m sure that the same could be said of those who are passionate about virtually any hobby, the name of the magazine is Knives Illustrated, not Action Figures Monthly or Baseball Card Digest. So, let’s talk first knives.

A Jeep of Jurassic Proportions
Jeeps and dinosaurs go together like peas and very aggressive carrots. In fact, Jeep recently released a limited edition Jurassic Park appearance package through its Jeep Graphic Studio program for those who want to feel like they may get physically assaulted by a giant lizard at any moment. Or maybe they just want their Jeep to look like the ones in the movies.
And really, the connection makes sense outside of the world of movies, too. Jeeps are tough, adaptive to their environments, and the battle-scarred remains of both can be found scattered throughout the ..read more

There’s Nothing Quite Like Going 100-plus Across the Desert in a Purpose-Built Ford Ranger
Everyone has that one vehicle that causes them to pause—that quintessential custom you can only dream of emulating in some shape or form in a future build. For off-road desert speed fans, that truck is Rob Lindsay’s Ford Ranger, turned insanely custom pre-runner! And for good reason.
Rob’s Ranger started off life like any other standard Ford Ranger—mildly capable, big enough to haul some stuff around, but not overly impressive when it came to, let’s face it, any specifications. But, match that Ranger up ..read more

Folk who have a passion for extreme sports have a tendency of carrying that same excitement into whatever other activities they choose to partake in. There must be something imbedded into one’s DNA that craves that action, speed, and all things that cause high spikes of adrenaline. Whatever the scientific cause of this is, Eric Conner, who was a professional street-style skateboarder back in his youth during the ’90s, has experienced long-term effects that go along with wanting to land the next big trick in life.

Because It Goes Over Rocks, See?
Jolk Heyer, known as “aquajeepgirl” in the cyber universe (that’s still something people say, right?), has been exploring the great outdoors in her trusty 2018 Jeep Wrangler, affectionately named “Roxxie,” for a few years now. Her passion for Jeeps and off-roading began during her college days in Southern California, where she cherished every moment in her roommate’s Wrangler. Learning to drive stick, getting stuck in sand, and having endless fun solidified her love for Jeeps.
