This is a product I didn’t know existed at one time. According to this four-page brochure, the Warn-A-Larm is a backup alarm device to warn folks when a vehicle is backing. It appears the brochure is from June 1969.

Jeeps, INC., Sierra Package Trip Brochure

• CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Features • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

The Sierra Pack’age’ Trip Tri-Fold brochure was probably printed in the early 1960s. It’s the first time I have run across a California or Sierra Nevada brochure for guided jeep tours.  The company is referenced both as “Jeeps, Inc.” and as “Sierra Tours by Jeeps, Inc.”.

This 3rd page only has print on one side. It’s a flyer that was stuck into the brochure.

Roxor: One Year Later

Bill shared this link to a Roxor owner’s review after having owned and driven a Roxor for one year. He seems to be enjoying it!

I just don’t see owning Roxor over owning the Polaris Ranger we have. That rig has been great for farm work.
