Off Road Park and Jeep Parts Increasing, and Some Jeep Information for the Enthusiast

The KY Outback Adventure Park (Off Road Park) is a hit with dedicated four wheelers. We've experienced a nice increase in traffic and everyone has said that they like the park very much. The park is nowhere near where we want it, but we are improving and expanding it every couple of months. We just finished building our new rock buggy and it is an awesome offroad machine. It did great on its test runs this past weekend. Next on the park's agenda is some EPA work, clearing brush along the trails, which we have started, and opening up additional trails and obstacles! The obstacles won't be added until fall but the other work will be started A.S.A.P.

The Jeep Accessories business is continuing to expand. We just added BDS Jeep Lift Kits to our products. This is a great lift kit with a "no small print" life time warranty - You bought it, it breaks, they replace it. No questions asked. Rubicon Express lift kits will be added in the next month making a total of 5 lift kit lines that we'll be selling: BDS, Rough Country, SkyJacker, TrailMaster and Rubicon Express. We're also adding a new storage/security box for Wranglers. These diamond plated boxed are great looking and functional!


Following is Summer reading for the Jeep enthusiast:

The following is a link to an article about the Cherokee diesel lighting them up in Australia. Why isn't it offered here? DaimlerChrysler are you listening?

“The 2.8-litre CRD has attracted a new generation of four-wheel-drive buyers, who not only appreciate the on-road refinement and off-road prowess of the Cherokee, but also the engine’s capabilities.

“With the torque of a V8 and the fuel economy of a four cylinder, it’s truly an impressive engine,” said Jenkins.
