Ralph from offroaders.com and I covered the last weekend up at Paragon. I was there Saturday and he was there Sunday. Saturday’s turn out was incredible, there were approximately 300 vehicles present. Sunday had a good showing too. I expect in the future seeing a Paragon II. The passion and emotion Paragon’s owner Kyle Knosp …

I am getting on my soap box here. Sometimes I think things are all about “more extreme”. It used to be 33’s were big and a limited slip was true off-road. Now unless you have at least 37’s, custom suspension, locked Dana 60’s, and no regard for carnage it seems that you are inadequate. I …
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 …

Personally on a trail Jeep manifolds will get the job done and sometimes will be an advantage. Manifolds: More restriction usually equals more low end torque. Torque is …
The ultimate off-road tire. Gives the traction and confidence to go anywhere, and get back, even through the most extreme off-road conditions. DiggerLugz power through deep gumbo mud, dirt, sand, and over rocks. Tough, aggressive appearance. Still just as “streetable,” with longer treadlife and lower noise (compared to Radial Mud-Terrain T/A). TriGard construction for serious …
Most of us who have owned a Jeep have experienced the Jeep Wave. To some newbie Jeep owners it’s a source of confusion until either; you figure it out or someone explains it to you. It’s a fun following unique to only a few types of vehicles. Around the internet there are many pages dedicated …
The SSR Series of Super Swamper Radial/TSL tires from Interco is the next generation of light truck radial tires. This series has many of the OEM sizes for Sport Utility Vehicles and 4 Wheel Drive light trucks who do not want to modify their vehicles but still need the performance of Super Swampers. The design …
This is an age old debate, whether to change differentials to lower your crawl ratio or change the transfer case gears or change the transmission. Here is my opinion – FWIW – that’s “for what it’s worth” in internet-eze. The problem: You feel you need lower something to achieve a higher crawl ratio. Crawl ratio …
