Jeeps and your Health

I know, it sounds like a line to feed your wife about why you need to go wheel'n this weekend, but I do believe it is true. Getting out into the back country with your Jeep is one of the most important things you can do for your health.

I find my brain starts to shut down from the busy week, blood pressure lowers and my entire attitude is better within an hour of heading up into the hills.

The line, "it's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand", really is true. this is our emotional and for me, even spiritual connection back to what makes me who I am.

Perhaps it's because my childhood was spent in the hills checking up on cows, but I have met many Jeep'ers who I see have the same expression on their faces as these two guys have. We are where we belong. Exploring, on our own, only dependent upon ourselves to get through.

There is just something about a Jeep. A Pickup really doesn't feel the same. Even a modern fancy four door Jeep all "prettified" to be a SUV doesn't do it.

That unique Jeep sound of the exhaust, the grumble of the gears, it feels like the Wrangler is in it's element determined to move forward no matter what is in the way. I believe that Jeep feeling is what made the Vet's buy them after the War and why the Wrangler is still a vehicle that just puts a smile on your face.
