Jeep Brah! Written on April 18, 2012, by Guy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hey brah! Okay, so imagine being insanely popular on the internet without knowing it. Well, that happened to the guy you see here, his name is Todd, and is better known to the internet as ‘Jeep Brah’.

At first glance one might mistake him for just another tank top wearing, gold bracelet having, Labatt Blue loving Jeeper, but one would be mistaken. Appearing somewhere around 2007, Jeep Brah made his grand appearance on the internet and almost instantly gained meme status. Ever since he has been photoshopped into countless joke photos, and even some videos.

Know Your Meme: Jeep Brah
Pix Morning News: Jeep Brah

You may be wondring, where is Jeep Brah now?

Here he is, just a party animal, living the dream… full tilt.

Support Tread Lightly! Written on April 12, 2012, by Guy.

We are now an Official Partner of Tread Lightly! We are proud to announce that our entire line of Rugged Ridge All Terrain Floor Liners for Jeep®, Dodge, Ford, GM, Nissan and Toyota is now available under the Tread Lightly! brand. We offer over 90 applications to date and growing.

Support our hobby of off-roading by supporting Tread Lightly! A donation is made from every Tread Lightly! branded product. The organization promotes responsible off-roading through educational and stewardship programs.

Tread Lightly! Principles

Travel Responsiblyon land by staying on designated roads, trails and areas. Go over, not around, obstacles to avoid widening the trails. Cross streams only at designated fords. When possible, avoid wet, muddy trails. On water, stay on designated waterways and launch your watercraft in designated areas.

Respect the Rights of Othersincluding private property owners, all recreational trail users, campers and others so they can enjoy their recreational activities undisturbed. Leave gates as you found them. Yield right of way to those passing you or going uphill. On water, respect anglers, swimmers, skiers, boaters, divers and those on or near shore.

Educate Yourselfprior to your trip by obtaining travel maps and regulations from public agencies. Plan for your trip, take recreation skills classes and know how to operate your equipment safely.

Avoid Sensitive Areason land such as meadows, lakeshores, wetlands and streams. Stay on designated routes. This protects wildlife habitats and sensitive soils from damage. Don’t disturb historical, archeological or paleontological sites. On water, avoid operating your watercraft in shallow waters or near shorelines at high speeds.

Do Your Part by modeling appropriate behavior, leaving the area better than you found it, properly disposing of waste, minimizing the use of fire, avoiding the spread of invasive species and repairing degraded areas.

With a few flavors I have to say the Grape NOS Energy Drink is by far my favorite. Our local rep drops by every few weeks to make sure we are fully stocked up.

A Crown Victoria Tackles Hell’s Revenge in Moab? Written on March 31, 2011, by Chris.

Next time you’re out on a trail ride and you bypass that tricky part of the trail, that makes your toenails curl and get shorts in a wad, just remember: it’s okay. If it wasn’t difficult a car could do it. Be glad this guy isn’t riding behind you… He just might show you up. Just image what this Crown Vic could do with a locker?
