This is one of my favorite spots, and I finally made it back there for the first time this summer. It’s a bunch of interconnected trails behind the town of Montezuma, and the Keystone ski area. You hit altitudes of 12,700 feet, it’s way above treeline, and the views are awesome. It’s a fun place [...]

Bestop hosted a member of the Chrysler quality management team, Antony Blazevic, this week.
With the objective of reviewing the soft top’s operating and durability characteristics, we took Mr. Blazevic on a quick trip out to Left Hand Canyon after work yesterday.
Left Hand is a good trail, and it’s the closest one to us, so we’re [...]
Fun With Old Packaging
I saw some old packaging today, and took a quick photo to share it with you, just for kicks. The picture of the couple is awesome! Look how happy she is that he’s about to go off to play golf. And look how smug he is with his lilac argyle sweater, leaning on his golf [...]

Off-Road.com Tests Our Two-Piece Doors

Look at the bottom left navigation for all their Jeep lifestyle stuff, with readers pictures, and a killer page of definitions and information. It’s worth spending [...]
Four Wheeling in Indonesia
Here’s a blog that is a long way from the rocks of Colorado and Utah.
Turns out that in Indonesia, it’s the mud that’ll get you!
Rhino Lining
George’s Jeep is SOOO close to being totally done. Not meaning to tease too much, but this post is just about the Rhino Lining. Lots of people ask questions about what it’s like to line the entire Jeep. Well, this Jeep is lined everwhere but the dash. Check it out!
We’re planning a full video of [...]
Engineer’s Holiday
Dick Essig is one of the head designers and engineers here at Bestop. (He’s got patents and everything!).
These are shots of his vacation trip to the Southwest corner of Colorado, near Telluride. It’s one of the most scenic places in a very scenic state. Great mountain passes and a few scary roads.
Dick’s truck has a [...]

Well, bear with me for a second. Did you know that for several years high quality boat makers have been using a product called Strataglass for their vinyl windows? It’s a great, high quality product.
Bestop now [...]
