The Hot Tub, on Hell's Revenge Moab Easter Jeep Safari 2002
The staff at 4x4Wire are at the mecca of Moab, Utah, providing awesome same-day trail coverage from the 35th Annual Red Rock 4-Wheelers Easter Jeep Safari. Throughout the week of EJS, we'll deliver coverage from trails like Hells Revenge, Cliffhanger, and Upper Helldorado. This is the next best thing to being there in person!

Don't be afraid! It's only metal. Shortening, lengthening, and re-tubing your own drive shaft is not very hard, but you won't be able to balance the shaft at home. The methods shown in this article are geared towards trail Jeeps that rarely see pavement and to trail repairs on any vehicle.
JP Off-Road's Ladies of the Rocks!
Kathy and Renee are the first All-Women's Team to compete in the major rockcrawling circuits held across the country. These women have been competing in the fast growing sport of competitive rockcrawling for almost 2 years now and have earned the respect and admiration of their male counterparts, fans, and the media by showing that women are just as capable as the men when it comes to crawling up and over severe obstacles.
DCP_0024.JPG Project Invasion
Project Invasion is a 1975 Jeep J-10 pickup that is being built to accomplish two goals. During the week, the truck will be a work truck to drive around town. During the weekends, the truck needs to be ready to hit the high mountain passes for camping and exploration. The major goal for this project is to get the truck ready for the Ouray 2002 Full Size Jeep Invasion, so the project is named after the event.

tn_1v1.jpg Exploring Death Valley National Park
When most people picture "Death Valley" they think of a vast wasteland with oppressive heat and vultures circling overhead. Once someone has experienced all that Death Valley has to offer though, they soon realize that these are misconceptions (except for the heat maybe).

Sometimes it seems as if Winter will never end in Minnesota. The only thing you can do when Winter drags out into what should be Spring is to go snow 'wheelin.
