Deer Run Golf Course in Berlin, Maryland, is mixing golf with Jeeps! That’s right, no more underpowered golf carts driving down perfectly paved paths. Deer Run allows you to drive your own Jeep and blaze a trail on their 9 hole course. If you don’t own a Jeep, they can rent you one so you and the family can experience the offroad fun while golfing.

Ed Colbert owned Deer Run Golf Course for over 20 years but when his wife fell ill, he shut the doors. It sat vacant for the past 3 years when his son-in-law Justin Hearne came up with a crazy idea…turn the course into a more creative venture, one that involves offroading in a Jeep. Justin believes this new concept which is “one step up from mini golf” will bring younger people into the game.

The golf biz is tough and this move is not just about fun – it’s also saving the club a lot of money. Hearne said they should save up to $50,000 in cart maintenance by not having to operate 75 golf carts. They will have 3 Jeeps available to rent if you don’t have your own and are also planning a frisbee golf course for the future. They also are rooted in the community and run a lot of charity events.

Mopar just announced a 2010-2018 Jeep Wrangler Gorilla Glass replacement windshield! No more rock chips that turn into long cracks that make you fail your inspection. Hopefully, no more $25 insurance premiums down in Moab either!

If you aren’t familiar with Gorilla Glass, it’s the same technology on modern cellphones which I think is a bad example since I manage to break my iPhone screen yearly. Luckily I found a cool video from Ford where they developed Gorilla Glass for the Ford GT and fired iceballs out of a cannon at a windshield.

Mopar is very confident the Gorilla Glass will protect you from the following:

Magnaflow and aFE have both released exhaust systems for the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL. These Jeep exhaust systems will give your new JL a throatier and deeper sound as well as up to 9 extra horsepower. Let’s take a closer look at each one and you can decide which is right for you!

This Magnaflow MF Series exhaust system for the Jeep Wrangler JL is made in America and is built to last. Whether you are hoping to conserve fuel or utilize the extra horsepower, this Jeep JL exhaust system will allow your engine to operate more freely and give you the performance or economy you desire. But let’s be honest, when you hear a throatier exhaust, it’s hard to go light on the go pedal. The M/F19385 exhaust system is available at Nomadic Offroad Supply with free shipping. Here are a few specs:

• 18-Current Wrangler JL, 2 & 4 Door
• 3.6L V6 engine
• Dual 4″ polished exhaust tips
• All mandrel bent tubing
• 409 Stainless steel construction
• Increased horsepower and torque
• 2.5″ diameter pipe
• Straight through muffler
• Dual split rear exit
• Lifetime warranty on construction
• Made in the USA

Next up we have the aFe Jeep Wrangler JL exhaust system. The main difference between this one and the Magnaflow is clearance. aFe calls their exhaust system a “high tuck” and when you look at the tail pipe on the aFe compared to the Magnaflow, you can see a real clearance difference on ascent/descent angles. Plus, aFe comes right out and tells us that their system will give you an extra 9HP/8 lb-ft of torque.  The only downside of the aFe system is the act that you can’t really see the mod. That’s the entire point of this system because it’s built for true offroading, but some still might prefer the Magnaflow because it’s fun to see the dollars you put into your rig. Whichever you choose, you will experience more power and a better sound in your Jeep Wrangler JL. Here are some specs on the aFe Jeep Wrangler JL exhaust system.

• 18-Current Wrangler JL, 4-Door
• 3.6L V6 engine
• Exhaust tip not included
• 409 Stainless steel
• +9 HP and +8 lbs. x ft. Torque max gains
• 2-1/2″ mandrel bent, 409 stainless steel tubing
• High-quality stainless steel band clamps
• Hi-Tuck design for long travel clearance and greater approach and departure angles
• 100% hand MIG-welded for strength and durability

The first company I am looking at is Smittybilt. Smittybilt makes the Overlander rooftop tent and the Overlander XL rooftop tent. The Overlander tent is built to fit on top of a proper Jeep roof rack. It comes in tan, is waterproof and is made of heavy-duty 600D ripstop polyester. Inside you’ll find an LED strip light, a 60mm high-density foam mattress with a removable cover so you can wash it and they say it sleeps 2-3 people. I would comfortably say it sleeps two skinny people. I made this diagram so you can see how it lines up with a full-size mattress.

The only thing you need to know is these need a proper roof rack to live on. One thing I was confused about is that most roof racks say they will only hold up to 300lbs or so. Well, a helpful user over at r/Jeep explained this to me. Roof racks have two load ratings: static and moving. For instance, the Kargo Master Congo Cage has a moving rating of 350lbs and a static rating of 650 lbs.  So keep that weight limit in mind if you think it will be a problem. Smittybilt also sells jeep tent bundles that come with the tent and roof rack in one. Here’s a longterm review I found of someone who owns this Smittybilt jeep tent.

Now if that tent seems too small for your needs, Smittybilt also makes the Overlander XL jeep tent. This is probably the size that most of us actually want, but it is larger and more expensive. They say it will sleep up to 4 and I would agree with those dimensions if you are close friends and no one is over 6’4″ tall. Think of the Smittybilt Overlander XL jeep tent as a king size mattress with a twin mattress next to it. I know I sleep pretty well in a king with my wife (even if our 5-year-old jumps in with us) and having a twin size bed next to that means you have more than enough room for everyone to get a good night sleep. One issue I see is Smittybilt says this is meant to be mounted on a trailer or heavy duty roof rack so make sure your roof rack can hold the weight of the tent plus 4 grown adults if that’s how you plan on using it.

Like the Smittybilt Overlander Jeep tent, he Overlander XL is built to last. It’s made of heavy-duty 600D ripstop polyester, is waterproof and comes with a protective cover. It also has the LED interior light, 60mm high-density foam mattress with removable cover, mosquito screens, and a telescoping aluminum ladder. You can buy the Smittybilt Overlander XL at Nomadic Offroad Supply with free shipping.

If you own one of these tents or another brand, leave us a comment and tell us what you think! Do you like it? Should we get one?

The all-new Jeep Wrangler JL has a towing capacity between 2000lbs and 3500lbs. If you have the 2-Door model, it doesn’t matter which engine you have, the 2.0L turbor or the 3.6L V6, either one can tow up to 2000lbs. If you have the 4-Door model, it can tow up to 3500lbs, again, no matter which engine you choose. This is so much simpler than Wranglers past where gearing and engines and number of doors all created different towing outcomes. It’s nice to see Jeep listened to their customers and upped the towing capacity for the new 2018 Jeep Wrangler.
