2002 Wrangler TJ Road Trip

by Derek
(Utah)

My introduction to Jeep driving (in general, not off road), came in the form of a 530-mile road trip from Longmont, CO to Logan, UT.

Compared to my "power-everything" other means of transportation, the Jeep was different, especially on a long road trip. But, the Jeep grew on me and I was sorry to give it back at the end of the trip.

More recently, my "power-everything" other means of transportation had to visit the shop for a while, and I had the privilege of borrowing the '02 TJ again. This time I got the bug. I'm in the reading and researching phase of becoming a first-time Jeep owner.

The picture is from my friends' TJ on the bench just outside of Providence Canyon in northern Utah. The trail I was on isn't steep or anything like that, but I drove on it because I could, and because it was there, and because I was in a Jeep!


Larry's Comment: CAUTION...Derek! This "bug" can be highly contagious. Proceed with care...or you may become like the rest of us...ha!

Trust me...this bug can be a blast!
