Episode 758 – Jeeps to the Rescue!

This Week In Jeep

Big Shout Out To N. Tx. Jeep Club

A big ice storm is hitting the south. All over the news. 

Crippling many parts of Texas especially 

One specific part of the I-20 was hit hard

Carnales Off Road – Jeep Club came to the rescue

Members got off work early due to the weather / Decided to do something good.

Met up and headed out.

Semi-trucks struggled to make it up a hill.

Many piled up on westbound Interstate 20 at Cedar Ridge Drive near Loop 408. 

Interesting fact – takes 3 Jeeps to move 1 semi truck and trailer, 4 depending on the load. 

Group was out for three days while the weather was at its worst

Jeep Talk Show Gladiator Update

Watching all the dashcam videos with the snowmageddon happening in Texas reminded me how important the dashcam has been.

With the vandalism, I was able to get the license plate number of the suspected vandal.

Accidents of people pulling into my lane to show the police.

A hit and run, again to show police.

I was featured on the local Fox station in a segment they did on how bad people drive in Houston.  Michelle Merhar, the lady that did the traffic reports.
