Quick facts about this website:

• The language on this website is Hebrew.

• Unfortunately, only select pages which may have an international appeal can be translated to English.

• If you stumbled upon an interesting page through google image search or such, and would like to know what the %$## is in the picture, drop us a line - webmaster@jeepolog.com and we'll get back to you - maybe we'll find time to translate if you think it's interesting!

• The main subject in Jeepolog is tech - building jeeps and other vehicles, maintenance, fabrication, lifts, lockers etc. Not unlike other hardcore 4X4 websites in the world.

Quick facts about 4wdriving in Israel:

• In Israel the word "Jeep" is used generically  to describe any 4X4 car.

• However, locally assembled CJ and YJ-L "Storm" Jeeps are the most popular hard-core trail rigs.

• Approximately half of Israel is desert - the Negev and Judea deserts, rich in natural beauty and historical trails and sites dating back three millennia and more.

• In Israel virtually no open land is privately owned or closed to travel. Freedom to roam off-road is well established.

• On the downside,  government taxes cars, fuel and everything that has to do with them heavily. The cost of maintaining a Jeep in Israel (normalized by income) is many times higher than in the US.

• So we have less jeeps, older and not as well built - but we have tons of trails to explore!
