It seems that the corporate money makers and lawyers have struck again. Paragon Adventure Park near Hazleton, PA is closing. Their final weekend, February 3 & 4, 2007 marks the end of an off-road park known throughout the US.
Question: I have an 2003 Jeep Liberty with a Command-Trac transfer case. I’d like to know if I can swap in a Select-Trac to gain full-time 4WD? Dave, RI Answer: Yes, this is a relatively easy swap. Both cases share the same bolt pattern and input splines. Driveshafts will be the same too and should …
In a Times Leader article it states “The owner of Paragon Adventure Park scored another victory in court today when a judge ruled that Kyle Knosp – the off-road-vehicle park owner – would keep possession of the park’s land until all appeals on a lease issue have been exhausted.” This is turning into a roller …

We get quite a few questions on this, in some ways a lot of ratings do not make any sense and cause a bit of confusion and debate about the Jeep crowd. In many ways I am mystified by some of the ratings too, especially when it comes to the new JK. The rated towing …
I get many questions about so-and-so wanting to swap an engine into his/her Jeep. It seems so often that someone wants to do a swap based on an engine thats available at the time. Either they already have it, can get it for nothing, or it’s real cheap. Doing a swap based entirely based on …
