2013 Jeep Concept Vehicles

Jeep and Mopar have released a slew of 2013 Jeep concept vehicles, which will debut next week at the Easter Jeep Safari. The lineup includes five heavily modified 2013 Jeep Wrangler JK’s, and one 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel Trailhawk. The question is will any of the features seen on the concept vehicles actually make it to the production line? I’d say that chances are slim considering Chrysler’s reputation for being a tease. Consider last year’s Easter Jeep Safari where a Jeep 2500 pickup truck was unveiled, but has since disappeared. Regardless, we’ll be on site for the 2013 Easter Jeep Safari, and will bring you more details (plus pics) next week!

2012 Toyota Tundra Build | Tundra Fishing Team

It’s no secret that the Toyota Tundra is one of the most popular full size trucks in America. It’s easy to see why with the second generation Tundra offering three different cab sizes, engines, and bed lengths; which makes the Tundra a versatile rig in many shapes and sizes.

The Toyota Tundra Fishing team decided to take a Crewmax to the next level, and released this supercharged Tundra during the 2012 SEMA Show. Britt Myers, the lead on the project, is an Elite Series Pro Angler as well the owner of CS Motorsports in North Carolina.

Myer and team transformed this Tundra into a beast that caters to the fisherman’s needs. Complete with a supercharger, custom interior, and a roll out tray  that looks like a Bass Pro Shop aisle, this Crewmax is definitely made for the fisherman lifestyle.
