The 2021 Jeep Wrangler is the perfect vehicle for anyone with an adventurer's spirit. Ready and able to tackle nearly any off-road condition, the Wrangler makes every drive an experience. Here are a few reasons why we think the Jeep Wrangler may be our favorite vehicle in the Jeep lineup. 1. Off-Roading Machine We would be doing this incredible vehicle a disservice if we didn't discuss its off-roading capabilities first. Every single 2021 Wrangler trim has been awarded the Trail Rated Badge for ground clearance, water fording, articulation, maneuverability, and traction. In addition, the underside of the Wrangler is outfitted with steel skid plates that protect the inner workings of your Jeep from jagged rocks. With three 4X4 systems to choose from, you can find a Wrangler that suits your ideal outdoor experience perfectly. The essential Command-Trac 4X4 System is best for your typical off-road adventure. However, if you're concerned about rough weather, you'll want to break out the available Selec-Trac system. Finally, if you're up for some genuine rock-crawling moments, you'll need the optional Roc-Trac system to get you to the top of the mountain. more 2. The Best Sound System Around We love the optional Alpine Premium Audio System. When you add this great sound system, you'll be able to experience outstanding sound quality on all your drives. The system provides nine speakers, an all-weather subwoofer, and a 552-watt amplifier. So start creating your playlists now because you won't want to turn this system off. 3. Smartphone Friendly If you decide to add the Uconnect Service to your Jeep, you'll be able to control your Wrangler through a smartphone app remotely. This app allows you to check your vehicle's vital signs, start or stop the engine, adjust your temperature controls, lock and unlock the doors, and even blast the horn. There is also a Vehicle Health Report that is sent to your phone monthly. If you hate dealing with navigation issues, you'll love this next feature of the Uconnect Service. The Send & Go feature allows you to locate a destination on your phone and then send it directly to your Wrangler's command center. This feature makes for effortless navigation, with no maps or frustrating connectivity issues to worry about. 4. Dual Temperature Controls No matter where your journey takes you, you won't have to suffer in uncomfortable temperatures if you're driving a 2021 Wrangler. The available Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control System allows you to have custom temperature conditions for both the driver and front-seat passenger. If you often find yourself freezing out your co-pilot or vice versa, this upgrade will be worth every penny. You can also add a heating function to the front seats and opt for a heated steering wheel if you want to make your Wrangler ride genuinely luxurious. Don't wait another moment to take this off-roading legend for a test drive. Stop by Valor Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram today and take a 2021 Wrangler for a spin! Image via jeep.com.

Junction City, KS is a small city in Geary County with a population of just over 20,000. This “river city” gets its name from its location as it's nestled where the Smoky Hill and Republican rivers meet. With chilly winters and hot summers, there are a wide variety of activities to do here to match the season. Of course, any time of year is a great time to catch a show. Here are some of the best music venues around. 1. Rosebuds Rosebuds is the quintessential neighborhood dive bar, and we say that endearingly. It's in a cool historic building that produces some great acoustics for live music. It's a warm and friendly environment and attracts a laid-back crowd that enjoys kicking back and checking out the local talent. Rosebuds also makes their own specialty cocktails that are quite tasty and rotate through the seasons. If you drink, please remember not to drive. more 2.

Auntie Mae's has a mellow and relaxed atmosphere and a loyal following where people come to share stories with friends. 3. Mokas South This quaint little bakery and coffee house moonlights as an entertainment venue and has live music every weekend with no cover charge. They have an array of specialty coffee drinks, both hot and cold, and serve delicious food from morning until night. Mokas also has some unique custom cocktails made in-house like the hibiscus ginger margaritas, jalapeno margaritas, and chocolate martinis. If you choose alcohol over coffee, drink responsibly and be sure to have a designated driver. 4. Stiefel Theatre This funky theatre in the small town of Salina is the perfect place to soak up some culture with live music, comedy shows, and classic films. The sound is great, and the intimate environment makes it hard not to find a good seat. The most coveted seats are the ones in the front row of the balcony, so keep that in mind when reserving your spot. They book some great shows here that keep folks coming back. 5. The Columbian Theatre This historic theatre is over 120 years old and has been hosting music, plays, art exhibits and more for decades. It's a beautiful and spacious theatre with wonderful acoustics that travel to every corner of the venue. If you're ever in the area, don't miss your chance to experience this quaint little piece of history. The Columbian even books weddings and has everything you need for your special day.

There's a lot of competition surrounding full-size pickups, so it's mightily impressive that the Ram 1500 stands out from the crowd. Truck-lovers everywhere consider the 2021 Ram 1500 to be one of the best trucks on the market, and for good reason. It has several features that make it more impressive than many other trucks in its class. 1. Amazing Handling The Ram 1500 has impeccable handling. It feels nothing like a large pickup truck when you're behind the wheel. Instead, you feel like you're driving a much lighter truck. Its driving dynamics are ultra-sharp, and it's more agile than you'd expect, too. You can easily get around tight corners and navigate crowded roads. The ride comfort is also worth mentioning. The wheels soak up the road's imperfections, and you feel like you're on a silky-smooth road even if you're on a torn-up path. This is excellent for people who dislike the feeling of harsh roads, and it's beneficial for passengers who suffer from travel sickness. more 2. RamBox Cargo Management System The RamBox Cargo Management System is exclusive to the Ram 1500, so it helps the truck stand out. This feature helps you with transporting items, and it helps you keep valuable cargo safe. There are lockable bins in the truck bed that are large enough to fit most tools and similar items. You can keep your cargo safe from thieves, and you can separate different types of cargo from each other. The bins are insulated, so you can use them to store ice and food, too. They keep everything nice and cool. This is perfect for tailgating. We feel that this feature is truly a head-turner, as we've never seen anything like it in competitor models. 3. Lots of Safety Features Available The Ram 1500 now has pedestrian detection, which is fantastic if you live in a crowded area. Sometimes it feels like pedestrians can come out of nowhere, so the detection will be helpful for most drivers. The rearview mirror's new digital upgrade is one of the best safety features available in any truck. This lets you monitor the area behind you via a live, real-time video feed on your rearview mirror. The rearview camera reduces the number of blind spots that you're dealing with. 4. Head-Up Display Your dashboard and infotainment system both contain important information, but it's not always safe to look at the screens. Roads get busy, so you need to keep your eyes front and center. The Head-Up display can help with this. The display projects important vehicle information right onto your windshield. You can keep your eyes on the road, but you can still monitor your vehicle's stats. The display doesn't obscure your view of the road by any means, so you get the best of both worlds. This will add some safety to your journeys, and it's more convenient than looking back and forth between the road, the screens, and your mirrors. Are you interested in the RAM 1500? Come and test drive one at Valor CDJR. We're sure you'll have a great time. Image via ramtrucks.com.
