It’s Your Chance to Win a Custom 2010 Jeep Wrangler

Bestop has teamed up with 4 Wheel Drive Hardware to bring you the 4WD Jeep Giveaway contest, your chance to win a custom-built 2010 Jeep Wrangler. The contest kicked off today and will last a total of 10 months. The only way to enter is to vote for your favorite Jeep products each month at: http://www.4WDJeepGiveaway.com.

There will be a new category each month for you to vote on and build up the Jeep. For example, in November you can vote on 1 of 3 door options to go with the Bestop Trektop that will be installed on the Jeep. Every time you vote, you’re entered for a chance to win the Jeep. You can vote once a month, for a total of 10 possible entries by the time the contest ends on August 31, 2010.

At that time, one winner will be randomly selected from all of the entries and he or she will get to drive off with a brand new, custom 2010 Jeep Wrangler. To be eligible to win, you must be 18 years or older and include a valid email address.

As an added bonus, each time you vote you’ll receive a coupon code in your inbox for a discount on your next Jeep parts purchase at http://www.4WD.com.

Check out a video of the stock Jeep here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkA5lBM3Q_o. It’ll be amazing to see the difference once all the custom parts are installed, and 4WD will be filming its transformation the whole way through so check back often for the latest video updates and your next chance to vote.

Let’s Be Safe Out There

Bob Anderson is known around here as “Safety Bob” - he’s in charge of plant safety. He borrowed one of the company UTVs to go on a hunting trip, and is sharing some of the photos with the Blog. I wonder if he made everyone wear steel toed shoes? Probably. He does tell us that the full cab enclosure on the UTV made the unexpected cold snap way more bearable.

That's Safety Bob.

Look! Safety Orange!

Nice picture.

Blackbeard’s JK with Element Doors

“Blackbeard” from the WranglerForum sends us these nice snaps of the new Element Doors he just got painted and installed on his ‘09 Wrangler. Here’s what he says:

“I received my Bestop/Highrock Element Door Kit last week, and just finished installing it about an hour ago. I was having the Enclosure Panels painted by a local Body Shop, and just picked those up Friday.

I’ll post some pics tomorrow, but I’m REALLY happy with the way they turned out. Much, much cheaper that the Factory Half Doors, and they look just as good to me! I ordered everything through Quadratec, and it all came in within a week. The kit I ordered was:

- Highrock Element Tube Doors w/Upper Door Windows
- Highrock Element Door Bags
- Highrock Element Enclosure Door Panels

I transferred the Stock Mirrors from the Full Doors to the Half-Doors, and they fit perfectly. I attached the Door Bags to the inside of the Doors, so I’ll have a little extra room for light storage items. After Adjusting the Upper Door Windows, and the Latches, it all fits great.

If anyone else is thinking about going with the Half-Doors, I highly recommend them!

“No, you call the insurance company”

We have a bunch of these “bucks” around the place, where they get used for fitting the tops. This one though, is out in the pallet storage area. I’m just wondering how they got it going fast enough to get into a head-on collision. (I’m also wondering why they keep saying that I’m not qualified to drive a fork lift.)

Spotted in its natural habitat

“Mntnbiker32″ sent us the picture below. It’s a photo he snapped of George’s big Jeep out at Left Hand Canyon. “I saw this jeep at Left Hand Canyon on Sunday,” he says. “It looked awesome and went through it pretty easy. This is the only picture I could get, it was pulling away from us pretty easily.”

This is proof of two things. George really is going to get that Jeep all dirty, and he forgot to invite me.

Thanks for sending in the photo!

It’s getting chilly

Want to extend the use of your UTV into the colder months? Bestop has a nice line of Full Cab enclosures for the Mule, Razor, Rhino and Prowler. Whether it’s hunting or farming, these will help make your UTV a bit more weather tough.

Little Brothers

“Offroadyj” tells us that he loaned his Jeep to his little brother. Who promised him that he would take care of it and not do anything stupid. I’m told that the funereal is next week.

Send me photos of you and your Jeep!

That’ll void the warranty

Great American Jeep Rally

It was a cold and rainy day, but over 500 Jeeps showed up for this year’s Great American Jeep Rally in Sommers Connecticut.  They’ve been putting on a great event for several years. These pictures are compliments of JpTalon from the WranglerForum.

Tent Sale at Quadratec

West Chester Pennsylvania was originally made famous by the Valley Forge battlefield, and some people now know it as the home of MTV’s Bam Margera.  But it’s also the headquarters for Quadratec, well known to all of us as one of the bigger internet/mail order Jeep accessory companies around.  And if Quadratec’s annual Tent Sale gets any bigger it may well become the thing West Chester is famous for.

Last weekend they held their annual sale.  It wasn’t just great deals on an amazing array of Jeep stuff, it was also great food, a petting zoo,  and Jeep shine-n-shows and events.

Bestop was there.  Regional sales Manager Brad Bricker manned the booth and sent us these photos.

Here’s one way to get a bit more leg room in an old CJ.
