The folks at ExtremeTerrain.com asked me to share their jeep giveaway information:

ExtremeTerrain and Barricade Off-Road have just unveiled Project Trail Force, a $70,000+ Supercharged 2015 Jeep Wrangler. The big reveal took place this morning at Bantam Jeep Heritage, where it is leading the World’s largest Jeep Parade! Best of all, ExtremeTerrain also revealed that they will be giving the Jeep Wrangler away to one lucky winner, and awarding the vehicle at SEMA 2015 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

UPDATE: Hard to believe it has been almost three years since I published this post!

I discovered these directions for the Muller Custom Top in the August 1965 issue of Four Wheeler Magazine that we’ve seen on nicely modified Fresno area Jeeps.  I’m considering building one of these for Biscuit and selling my Kayline.

The McCain Hub Winch

UPDATE: Not many of these winches around.

While going through some old Four Wheeler Magazines, I came across two different ads for a McCain Hub Winch.  As best as I can tell, you attach it to the front hub, wind a cable or rope around it, and then start the front wheels turning, which would pull the jeep forward.  Also, the February 1969 issue of Four Wheeler Magazine has an article about the winch, but the seller wants $25 for it.  I’ll wait until the price drops.

This first pic is an ad for the winch:

This second pic shows an ad for Chachua’s Four Wheel Drive Center.  If you see #2, you can read about the hubs:

The King family has been taking annual family trips over the last five years. You can see some pics from last year’s trip here.

Jason King writes, Last Saturday was our 5th Annual Jeep Rally through Parke County Indiana.  We enjoyed a 30 mile trip through the countryside,  visited a Amish leather and saddle shop, road go karts and finished up with a campfire cookout.
