Garmin's Oregon GPS
Hot on the heels of the Colorado line that was introduced only 6 months ago comes the Oregon line-up. Besides cosmetic differences, the main differentiator between these two units is the fact that the Colorado uses Garmin's "Rock 'n' Roll" click-wheel while the Oregon features a touch-screen interface to input data and make menu selections. While I've been a long-time fan of Garmin, the Oregon line, like the Colorado line, leaves me feeling ambivalent about the company's direction. |

Maasdam JackMateTM
I've had a Hi-Lift® jack for about as long as I've had my Jeep. And for all that time, I've known that Hi-Lift®, Tiger JackTM and Jackall® style jacks are essential pieces of off-road equipment. What I didn't know until recently is that my jack, which I have relied on all these years, was incomplete. That's right, it was missing a crucial component. That component is the Maasdam JackMate. |

Skid Row Automotive's Top Prop
For most soft-top 4x4 drivers, a bikini top is a must-have accessory. In fact, many of us use them year-round. They're light, easy to install/remove, and they take up virtually no room when rolled up and stowed. But there is one major drawback and everyone who uses this top knows exactly what it is: it collects water. Gallons of water. There is not one of us bikini top users who isn't familiar with the misery of having to drain the water from a sagging, stretched top.
