In the crowded metropolis of Hong Kong lives a man who knows more about off-road vehicles than possibly anyone else on earth. He has raced the Dakar Rally, torn apart priceless vehicles just to see how they work, written a book called The 4x4 Bible, and taught off-roading skills to locals. His name is Victor Ma, and…
On Tuesday, federal authorities announced that several members of the Tijuana-based Hooligans Motorcycle Club had been indicted for some stealing $4.5 million worth of Jeeps in San Diego County.

If you’re going to slap the Jeep name on a go-kart, you better make sure it lives up to brand’s pedigree.

Yesterday, I found out what happens when water gets into the oil of a manual transmission. It’s bad. Very bad.

Nothing screams “America” like hopping on your skis or snowboard to shred through the streets of New York City while holding the Stars and Stripes. With a Jeep Wrangler as your chaperone. In the middle of a snowstorm.
Selfie-sticking is not for the weak. It’s an activity left to only the burliest, toughest people on earth. The guy driving this jacked-up Jeep Wrangler, though, is not among them, because his self-sticking ineptitude wreaked havoc on his Jeep.
