Fall Foliage, In a Jeep

There’s nothing quite like taking a ride through nature during the peak of fall foliage season. In Boston, we traverse to mid-New Hampshire or Vermont. It’s best when the top is down, the sun is out and you have on your sweatshirt.

If you don’t have a Jeep, you can rent one for a couple days in certain places for the sole purpose of going on foliage tours.

>The “Manistee Adventure” gets on the road — or rather off the road — Sept. 29-30 and Oct. 6-7, 13-14 and 20-21. It is priced at $250 per adult — with a minimum of two adults per Jeep — including the Jeep rental, one night’s accommodations, dinner, continental breakfast and leadership. Accompanied by two adults, children 10 and under are priced at $150 each. Tax is extra, and snacks and lunches are BYO. Offered by Sandy Korners Adventure Tours, the caravan leaves from and returns to Mears, Mich., 45 minutes south of Ludington. (231-873-5048; www.sandykorners.com/manisteeadventure .html)

Your Jeep Wrangler As a Primary Family Vehicle

A few months back, we sold our *other* car. This made us a one car family with our 2007 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon as our primary family vehicle. We never thought that it would make the perfect family vehicle, but we did want to clear up any questions that you might have about it being so.

Keep in mind that we **love our Jeep Wrangler**. It’s just not the best vehicle for moving pets, plants or going on long road trips. That’s okay though. We make due, because the up sides of a Wrangler far outweigh the down sides. In the winter, snow is not a worry and in the summer we can get a tan while driving around the beach.

Your car should be fun, even if **it’s not 100% useful**.

The 4-Door Wrangler Is Very Popular

The new 4-door variant of the 2007 Jeep Wrangler is becoming very popular. So much so, that the factory is having a hard time keeping up. This is according to Autoweek.

“Demand for the hardtop four-door is much higher than we expected,” said Cynthia Sidoti, Toledo Supplier Park plant manager.

The 2007 four-door Wrangler began arriving in dealerships last September.

In June, Jeep sold 10,952 Wranglers, the best June results ever for the Wrangler, according to Darryl Jackson, Chrysler vice president of U.S. sales.

Dealers say they’ve had a difficult time getting the top-of-the-line Rubicon version of the Wrangler, which is trail-ready and has Chrysler’s MyGIG entertainment and information system that includes navigation.

“The market is overwhelming,” Sidoti said. For 2008, the MyGIG system will be available without the navigation.

The Toledo Supplier Park is closed this week for model changeover. Workers will return July 23 and begin building 2008 models.

Our Rubicon Was Broken Into Today!

This morning we walked out to find out that our Jeep Wrangler Rubicon had been broken into. Yikes! Thankfully, nothing was actually stolen, because we make it a point to not keep anything in the Rubicon that we wouldn’t mind if it was gone. The worst part of all of this was that the amateur thief spent more time messing up the contents of the Wrangler than actually stealing anything.

Jeep Wrangler As a Moving Vehicle

We’ve been moving recently, and that has meant that a lot of cargo has been going into the Rubicon. Unfortunately, Jeep Wranglers were not really meant for use as moving vehicles. The openings to put boxes in don’t exist, at least not without taking a window or two out.

If you plan on moving, I would rent a larger vehicle for fear of scratching one of the windows. Luckily we didn’t scratch any, but a significant chance was there.
