Come Thanksgiving morning, the kitchen windows steam up, the aroma of roasting turkey wafts through the house, and on TV is the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Broadcast from 9 a.m. to noon (live on the East Coast, tape-delayed elsewhere), the parade is viewed live by some 3.5 million spectators and televised to an estimated 50 million. With more than two dozen floats, 1,000 clowns, 12 marching bands from across the United States and Santa Claus bringing up the rear, it’s truly is a treat for all ages.

Underwater Driving With Jeep – Videos & Warnings
There’s not much that can stop a Jeep. Since Jeep’s inception, its heart and soul has yearned for adventure and excitement. And let’s face it, the many improvements available on Jeeps today have only taken things to higher heights and deeper depths. There just aren’t many places you can’t go in Jeep.
But There are Some Places You Really Shouldn’t Go
Recently, there have been several videos making the rounds – including some that have gone viral – of people trying to drive their Jeeps underwater, with varying degrees of success. While offroading always presents challenges, deep water presents some challenges that Jeeps – and, more importantly, Jeep drivers — just aren’t designed for. Driving your Jeep underwater presents the possibility of permanently damaging your Jeep, losing it altogether or, worst of all, getting yourself or your passengers hurt or killed.
6 Amazing Limited Edition Jeep Wrangler Models
Backcountry Edition
The Backcountry Edition was built to stand out — not just with its performance in extreme winter conditions, but also with its exterior styling. The Xtreme Purple (shown here) or Hydro Blue pearl coat paint are especially striking, but even the more neutral colors get a boost from the hood decal and rear graphics unique to this edition.
As its name suggests, the Backcountry Edition includes many impressive off-roading features. Drivers will benefit from a Trac-Lok rear differential, trail-rated capability, an available Tru-Lok locking rear axle, hill descent control, the Command-Trac 4×4 system, off-road bumpers and rock rails, and BFGoodrich K02 tires. It’s not all rugged capability and raw power, though. The Backcountry’s comfortable interior boasts heated front seats, automatic temperature controls, and sport mesh seat inserts.

Jeep Soft Top Cleaning & Maintenance
If you are the owner of a Jeep Wrangler with the soft-top option, one of the biggest challenges you likely face is how to keep the vehicle’s soft top clean. Over time, environmental elements, road grime, and the sun’s UV rays can have a harmful effect on the material on the soft top. Bird droppings, tree sap, road tar, and mildew can also damage or destroy the material and the plastic windows.
Imagine your reaction to cruising down the highway at 55 mph when the front end of your Jeep Wrangler starts to shimmy and shake violently. If the idea of this happening to you sounds frightening, you’re not alone. This situation has happened to Jeep owners across the country for years. In fact, the shake can be so bad that many Jeep owners have named it the Death Wobble, but to date, no actual deaths have been associated with the problem. Learn why Jeeps sometimes shake violently and how you should handle the Death Wobble if it happens to your Jeep.

Chrysler 200 Recalled for Stalling
While some might view recalls as an inconvenience, they’re actually an opportunity to have different issues with your car repaired for free, helping to avoid problems months or years later. That’s why knowing that almost 80,000 Chrysler 200s are the subject of a new recall is important. This is a voluntary action on the part of Fiat Chrysler, meaning the automaker is being proactive and not recalling the sedans simply because the government has told it to.
The editors at Consumer Guide, a highly respected publication in the automotive industry, just heaped a huge amount of praise on three different Fiat Chrysler vehicles. The 2016 Dodge Durango,Jeep Renegade and Ram 1500 were all named to the list of 2016 Best Buy vehicles, putting them in a position well above their competition.
