Jeep Momma Fact Checks Forbes Article

This article Forbes 15 New Cars to Avoid by Jim Gorzelany is exactly why I am embarrassed to say I was once a journalist, especially the section on the Jeep Wrangler. Unfortunately, the current media has given journalism a bad name. Facts aren't really facts anymore. I wonder if this writer has even been in any of the vehicles he has written about? Get your facts right. Do a little research. First off you can't compare a Jeep to a car!

1. "...some might argue the iconic Wrangler and its four-door Wrangler Unlimited version is among the best-performing off-road vehicles" --  Who is arguing?  The Rubicon is one of the best performing off road vehicles directly off the assembly line.  




2. "The rag-top Wrangler is very difficult to manage." False... Ummm...Obviously the writer has no idea what he's talking about.  It certainly doesn't take an hour to get your new Wranglers top back. At most, for me, maybe 5 to 10 minutes, if it's all the way down. 

Getting Topless is Simple and Easy

3. I have a lifted Wrangler with 35" tires, no issues parking in those tight parking spots, not any more difficult than your big SUV's or Trucks.





4. "They suffer from limited passenger comfort, harsh and erratic ride and handling abilities and excessive wind noise at higher speeds" Raise your hand if you bought your JK/JKU for passenger comfort and a quiet smooth ride?

5. "It sits high off the ground."  NO Kidding!!! That's not a reason to avoid buying a Jeep. We want them to sit higher you idiot! Some Jeepers even add a lift kit to LIFT their Jeeps even higher off the ground.

6. "It has big tires."  Again, No Kidding!!! Another reason that it is not, why to avoid buying a Jeep. That's why we buy them. Oh Hey...Get this, some people even buy bigger tires to put on their Jeeps, like me.







7. "It's brawny enough for a snowplow or the Rubicon Trail." Yes, that is why we buy Jeep, but hey didn't you say some people argue about it's off road prowless?  Synonyms for brawny -- rugged, powerful, strong, well-built, powerfully-built, powerful, and mighty.

8. "It is not really designed for optimal road driving to the grocery store." No sane person buys a Jeep to go to the grocery store.

Top 5 Must have Personal Items to Take Off Road - You Tube Video

Top 5 Must Have Personal Items to take with you on the trails. Everyone is different. Every location would be different but these are my Top 5 go to items. 

My First Time Trail Guiding Jeeps Off Road

I have been off-roading for nearly 5 years now. A couple of weekends ago was my first time leading a group of Jeepers on the trails at Rausch Creek Off Road Park. I have been trail gunner in the past, but never the trail leader guiding a group all day on the trails. 

Luckily for me, I was able to use the Maprika Map app on my phone. It was a life saver. However, we still made a couple of wrong turns, and ended up on some blue trails when our intent was green trails. 

The trails were full of snow and ice so that made for even more difficult time traversing the trails. There were even times when we were the first group to wheel the trail. It was like we were breaking new ground. 

We also needed to winch some Jeeps thru the slippery deep snow. The ice and snow made the green trails blue and the blue trails black. But all in all it was a super fun time, intense but really fun as we all worked together as a team.
