January 21, 2012 - First Jeep Run

First Real Jeep Trail Ride.





Only damage was a shallow slice in my sidewall, enough to make me change it out, but not enough to lose air. We'll see on monday if the extended warranty really covers my tires!

Project Revolution Too

For those that have known me a while you may remember my 2007 Jeep Patriot. It's nickname was Revolution and was lifted ~2.5 inches and rolled on bigger rubber. Probably one of the coolest Jeep Patriots ever built... and I have missed it ever since I sold it as I left Germany. Well, mid fall 2011 we slayed the "Green Monster", my 2010 Lime Rock Green Genesis, by trading it off on a 2011 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, which for now we'll call either "Revolution 2" or "Revolution Too".
