I thought it was weird to specialize in writing on off-road and fashion topics until I learned these are two of Advanstar's top industries. Fashion and rock crawling aren't that different, if you think about it. Both take a unique style and careful eye to pull off.

Living by a simple principle, which is enjoy what you do, write about what you do, and get your writing published, is what drew me to covering rock crawling: I went to an event and enjoyed it, and the rest is self-explanatory if you read the previous sentence. I love covering driver and spotter profiles, because you can get to know the person behind the competition. I get to focus on understanding a person's tone of voice more than their actual words, and this helps bring individual feeling to each person's story/piece. My goal is to bring out the hero.

Great gas mileage, under 25k, and with a serious off-road package. True off-road enthusiasts would probably be happiest with the Freedom Drive II Off-Road Package.

Since its 1992 debut, the Jeep Grand Cherokee has proven itself to be an innovator and extremely popular choice where the mid-size sport utility segment is concerned. With its signature seven-slot grille and revamped high belt line, the Grand Cherokee is a polished yet comfortable SUV with top-rated off-road capabilities.

Introduced in 2002, the small-size 4-door, 5-passenger sport utility vehicle Jeep Liberty represents pure Jeep in appearance with its seven-slot grille, clamshell hood and round headlamps. Aside of a distinct, fun look, the Liberty has a few other edges over the intense compact SUV competition, such as standard traction control, safety, and engine size.

These days, it's not enough to be just an SUV. Like fine wines, a product aimed at a higher echelon of taste must corner the market using some sort of quaint or obscure fact to stay competitive

At the UROC ProNational Pacific event in Phoenix, Hart and spotter Jeff Jones scored a 97 for a 2 nd Place finish in the Super Modified class, right behind the tire wheels and heels of Mad Rock Racing's Bruce Zeller

It might sound strange to hear longtime rock crawler Tony Kasabasich doesn?t necessarily compete for the win
