By now every Jeep enthusiast under the sun has begged Jeep to bring us a diesel option for the JK Wrangler- they offer great fuel economy, increased torque, and better reliability. It's not even that they don't produce a diesel Jeep- they do. It's just for the european market only. Yesterday, on our way to Detroit with Expeditions 7, we ran into two European specification diesel Wranglers being tested, could this be a sign of things to come for the US market? A sky shot perhaps? Or is it just Jeep testing a better product to ship elsewhere?

Expeditions 7: Nebraska

E-mail Print PDF

Nebraska - home of road construction, flatlands, and very few challenges to some experienced individuals in some very equipped Land Cruisers. Honestly— being from the Midwest, aside from the miles we needed to cover to stay on schedule I didn't exactly expect there to be any challenges aside from staying awake on the monotonous straight and flat highways.

After all, we just had finished traversing Engineer's Pass, in Colorado, a rare occasion for May, I-80 wouldn't be an issue. Shortly after leaving our campsite at Jackson Lake State Park in Colorado, I got only a small taste of the drama that was, and still is coming as I write this...

I'm sitting here writing this from the passenger seat of one of Expeditions 7's VDJ78 Land Cruisers. I'm tired, exhausted, and quite frankly it's difficult to keep my eyes open, while I sit here downloading my brain before the next days' moments replace my adventures today.

Lego Land Rover Defender 110

E-mail Print PDF

via West County Explorers Club: Check out this Land Rover 110. It has a sequential 5-speed transmission, 2-speed transfer case, working disc brakes, selectable 4-wheel-drive, and is made entirely out of Legos. Amazing! What's more, every one of those features and more are actuated by remote control. Quite a project.

This model is currently listed on a site called Cuusoo, which is a kind of farm league for Lego models. If it gets 10,000 votes, Lego will produce it as a kit.

Here’s a link to the builder's site.

Thanks for the tip, Mas!
