Jeep Wrangler DIY Projects: Customizing Your Ride

Jeep Wrangler DIY Projects: Customizing Your Ride

The Jeep Wrangler is arguably the best car for DIY projects and modifications. And by customizing your ride specifically for tailgating, you can create a space that’s convenient while also reflecting your style. Whether you’re a die-hard football fan or just enjoy the social aspect of tailgating, these DIY projects will take your experience to the next level.

Built-In or Mounted Cooler

Tailgating involves enjoying good food and drinks while cheering on your favorite team. Thankfully, the current generation of Wranglers all feature a drainable compartment in the trunk that’s suitable for temporary cooling at the tailgate. But a mountable cooler system is worth considering if you want something less temporary and a little cleaner, especially if you plan on cooking meats. For this DIY project, you can create a mount that attaches to your Jeep’s rear bumper or roll cage, providing easy access to refreshments without interrupting the party. This custom mount can fit the cooler of your choice, providing greater flexibility and freedom when modifying your trusty SUV.

Food Prep Table Attachment

Having a food prep table attachment for your Jeep Wrangler can make a world of difference during your tailgate party. This attachment provides extra table space for chopping, slicing, and assembling your favorite tailgate dishes. There are various options available, depending on your preferences and needs. Some food prep table attachments are designed to slide out on rollers from the back seat floor or the trunk, allowing you to access the table whenever needed. Others can be mounted on the exterior of your Jeep, ensuring that you have ample space for preparing food without sacrificing interior room. With a food prep table attachment, you can create a designated area for prepping meals, making tailgating even more enjoyable and efficient.

Tent Extension or Awning

A tent extension or awning is a fantastic DIY project that provides an outdoor shelter right beside your Jeep Wrangler. This gives you and your fellow tailgaters a protected area away from the sun, rain, or wind. There are various options for adding a tent extension or awning to your Jeep Wrangler. You can choose a rooftop tent that mounts directly on top of your vehicle, giving you a cozy sleeping space and an elevated viewing platform during tailgating events.

Alternatively, you can opt for an awning that attaches to the side of your Jeep, providing shade and protection for your tailgate setup. The cost of a tent extension or awning can range from $200 to $1000, depending on the brand, size, and features. Additionally, you’ll need basic DIY skills, such as drilling, bolting, and possibly electrical work if your awning has built-in lighting or power outlets.

There are many automotive modifications best left to the pros; for instance, you should never DIY a Jeep hardtop paint job or perform a significant suspension adjustment. However, these Jeep Wrangler DIY projects are entirely affordable and possible. Consider these projects when customizing your ride and optimize your tailgating experience.

Waldron City Council Meets in Special Session; Discusses Call for Special Election

Waldron City Council Meets in Special Session; Discusses Call for Special Election

The Waldron City Council met in special session on Tuesday night, August 22, at 6 p.m., Waldron City Hall. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss an ordinance providing for the levy of 0.25% sales and use tax for maintenance and operation and to call for special election for a 0.50% sales and use tax for park and recreation improvements.

Members of the council present were Dawna Young, Josh Lovett, Jeff Gilbert, Chad Owens, Mark Ashford and Doyle Dickens. Also present, Mayor David Millard, and Clerk/Treasurer Brad Dick.

Ryan Bowman with Friday, Eldredge & Clark, LLP in Little Rock addressed the council. Bowman is an attorney with a firm specializing in bond counsel.

Bowman presented the council with three proposed ordinances. In ordinance one, the 0.25% sales and use tax would be a permanent tax to be used to pay principal and interest on any bonds approved by the voters with the excess that is not needed to pay on the debt service on the bonds to come back to the city to be used for parks and recreational purposes.

The second proposed ordinance called for an election on November 14, on that levy of 0.25% sales and use tax.

The third ordinance called an election on the issuance of bonds in a maximum amount of $4.7 million dollars for the park projects it also levies a 0.5% sales and use tax that can only be used to pay debt service on a bond issue. When the bonds are paid in full, that half cent sales tax goes away.

“Both questions must be passed for you to accomplish what you want as a council,” stressed Bowman. “This would be an issue to call for a special election, and the city would be responsible for that election.”

Several members of the community were present and expressed their views on the proposed ordinances.

“We want to bathrooms in our existing park,” shared Mayor David Millard. We are also looking at a splash pad and improvement on things like walking trails…The actual goal is to improve our town and to get things that other towns are getting to attract people.”

After an exchange of views and information from the audience, Clerk/Treasurer Brad Dick emphasized that this meeting was only to see if the council wished to move these questions forward to the voters.

In the end, the motion to move forward with the proposed ordinances failed. Bowman expressed that time was of the essence if the council decided to place a proposal on the November ballot, and that anything later would have to be put off until the March primary.

With no further action and no other items of business, the motion was made to adjourn the special meeting.

In a statement, Mayor David Millard emphasized the importance of parks and recreation, noting they strengthen local economies and create job opportunities, increase community engagement and reduce crime, provide for a place for children and families to connect with nature, increase tourism and generate sales activity, enhance property values, increase municipal revenue, bring homebuyers and workers and attract retirees.

“I plan to continue to work towards progress in the city,” concluded Millard.

Russellville Wins Home Opener Over Paris, 3-1

Russellville Wins Home Opener Over Paris, 3-1

RUSSELLVILLE- After another deep run in the Class 3A state tournament a year ago, Paris fans were eager to see the rebuild in 2023 after the heavy loss of players to both graduation and transfer. The team has made great progress over the summer leading up to Tuesday night’s season opener at Russellville.

But perhaps as a sign of new players playing together for the first time as starters and being counted on heavily for the season, the Lady Eagles got off to a rough start in the first set, falling into a 6-0 score deficit to start the first set. Although Paris would go on to drop the first step, the team competed and kept itself in contention until late in the first. Russellville would go on to win the first set by the score of 25-21. A valiant effort by Paris on the road, but the early deficit was too much for the Lady Eagles to overcome.

Struggles continued for Paris in the second, as the young team playing at a Class 5A school was forced to focus after having things go wrong in the first. Russellville’s back line played very well, saving multiple points by keeping the ball alive for their front-line hitters. The Lady Eagles would battle, but they would be unable to get over the hump score wise, and the Lady Cyclones would go on to win the second set by the score of 25-17.

The tide turned in the third set for Paris with the Lady Eagles starting the set with their first lead of the match. The score seesawed back and forth, but late in the third, Paris was able to maintain and 2–3-point lead and eventually close-out the third with a win by the score of 25-20. The young Lady Eagles had fought back, showing great character, after facing a 3-0 defeat at the hands of the Lady Cyclones, and momentum seemed to be shifting back to Paris.

But the momentum shift would be short-lived, and the young Lady Eagles would not be able to win the fourth set. Untimely service errors and problems on the receive would spell defeat for Paris. Russellville went on to win the fourth set by the score of 25-16, and the match by the set score of 3-1.

Paris will again be on the road on Thursday when they travel to Little Rock to play Pulaski Academy. The match will be the second of three road games in the first two weeks of regular season play. Conference play will begin next week when the Lady Eagles return home to play Charleston before again going on the road on August 31 to play at Hackett.

Watch for photos from this match on Thursday on Facebook at Paris Eagles Sports. RNN Sports will be in Little Rock on Thursday for the Lady Eagles’ match against the Pulaski Academy Lady Bruins.

Timepiece: Sound of Silence

By Dr. Curtis Varnell

Sounds echoed throughout the building as workers scurried about preparing the fruit and vegetable for processing. Women talked among themselves, exchanging gossip and anecdotes while watching over their children who were scurrying about underfoot. Older children, even though legally underage to work, were assisting their parents by peeling heated tomatoes, snipping of the ends of snap beans, or halving peaches. Parents were commonly paid by the number of cans produced so all help in providing extra income was appreciated.

By the early 1900’s, most smaller towns in Arkansas had one of more canning factories which preserved and sold local produce. Generally, a group of businessmen would put up money as loans to local banks who would then contract out buying the racks, trays, boilers and putting up a canning shed or building. Initially, these were small time operations where local families would work during harvest season to make extra money. Men generally received about ten cents an hour for processing the produce while women were paid by the bushel to prepare the tomatoes, beans, or fruit. The product would be poked through holes at the top of the can, water and salt added, and then the can was patched with a piece of metal and soldered. The cans were then placed in a boiler where the product was cooked and harmful bacteria killed.

Some of the largest packing companies were found in northwest Arkansas. In 1886, Springdale Canning became one of the first large commercial canneries. It employed up to 100 people during their busy season but contributed to the economy of the entire area by buying area products. By the 1930’s, the Springdale plant could process as many as 3,500 cases of beans, greens, spinach, or tomatoes in a ten-hour day.

To take advantage of the large area grape harvest, Welch began a grape juice factory in 1923 and the Springdale area plant continued operating until 1978. Smaller towns like Ozark, Clarksville, Atkins, and Lowell, and Pettigrew had canning facilities that catered to one product but they began to fade away as federal food regulations coupled with expensive new technology forced consolidation.

Two of the big names to emerge from the process was nationally known brands Atkins pickles and Allen canning. For more than fifty years, Atkins pickles were the name brand of choice in America. During its early years, the factory produced specialty items such as tomolives, pickled okra, peppers, and onions but eventually concentrated only on pickles. In 1983, the plant employed 500 people and sales reached $40 million dollars. Visitors to the state capitol were given gift packs of Atkins products to showcase items produced in state. Several consolidations into national conglomerates later, an organization known as the Suiza Corporation purchased the company and closed out the Atkins brand.

Allen’s Incorporated began in Siloam Springs as a local canning company. In 1976, Allen’s was given the title of the world’s largest independent food processor and was one of the top ten canneries in the world. The company claimed the ability to pick the vegetables in the morning and have them ready to ship by night. By 2013, they employed more than 1,000 people nationally and produced canned and frozen vegetables under 11 brand names. Alma, Arkansas laid claim to being the spinach capital of the world as a result of the spinach canned at the local Allen’s cannery under the brand name of Popeye spinach. A large statue of the character was erected as a symbol of the city.

Like other businesses that preceded it, Allen’s suffered from declining markets and large cooperate consolidation. After several sales to increasingly larger corporations, Allen’s closed their production unit and the business closed.

Passing through the small towns, one sees the empty enclosed plants, the boarded up windows, and the corporate for sale signs hanging on the fences. The jobs are gone, the young have moved on, and the only noise within the canneries are the sounds of silence.

Boozman Shares Service Memories of Lavaca Veteran

U.S. Senator John Boozman (R-AR) recognized the service and sacrifice of Patrick Grout in ‘Salute to Veterans,’ a series recognizing the military service of Arkansans.

Grout knew early on he wanted to enlist in the military, so in 1972, on his 19th birthday, he enlisted with clear objectives: to serve in the Navy and to go to Vietnam.

“It’s just something I’ve felt since I was real little that I had to serve,” Grout said. “On my enlistment, it asked what you would like to do or be stationed, and I put Vietnam. I felt I had to do that.”

“I wanted to travel,” Grout said. “I’d be best to go into the Navy in order to see other countries.” Throughout his time in uniform, Grout visited Vietnam, the Philippines, Japan, Hawaii, Hong Kong and Singapore.

Originally from Los Angeles, Grout was first stationed nearby in Alameda, California. While in bootcamp, he remembered a lot of marching and outlined how everything that was done was to simply “get you to follow orders.”

His jobs changed throughout his time on board the ship. He was originally placed in the main engine room as a machinist mate, then was assigned a new task of making water for the next three years. He recalled the conditions of working in the main engine room, “I remember washing my clothes and hanging my pants over a rail and when I got done, I could just stand them up. It was so hot it just ironed them in place.”

When he transferred to the auxiliaries, Grout quickly moved into a leadership role as he oversaw training other sailors and running qualifications for the preventative maintenance systems. “That was the first time I was in charge of people, and I had 19 of them,” he explained. “That helped me become a buffer.” Grout noted how much he appreciated the respect the military gave to rank and how “people no matter where you go, you’re showing the rank and respect because of your rank.”

Grout said the closest enemy encounter he had was as his ship was leaving the Gulf of Tonkin, when a nearby U.S. destroyer was severely damaged and three people had to be brought aboard his ship because it had a full hospital.

He recalled his feelings returning home and the lack of a warm welcome by his community, and the country, and how it still affects him today. “Disappointing, really disappointing. You expect a parade you know,” he said. “Nowadays when people say, ‘thank you for your service,’ that just – thank you, cause we didn’t get it back then.”

As a veteran, Grout understands the demands of those called to serve in uniform and says they are uniquely qualified to meet the demands of employers. “I’ve often thought about people who have a company and they want to hire people. Hire a vet because they do what it takes to get the job done. They know how to take orders,” Grout said.

Today, Grout calls Lavaca home.

“Patrick Grout humbly served our nation in uniform through his hard work and dedication. Every veteran deserves our thanks and appreciation. It is my hope that Patrick feels our gratitude for his sacrifice. I am pleased to collect his memories and share his story,” said Boozman.

Boozman will submit Grout’s entire interview to the Veterans History Project, an initiative of the Library of Congress’s American Folklife Center to collect and retain the oral histories of our nation’s veterans.

Boozman Shares Service Memories of Greenwood Air Force Veteran

U.S. Senator John Boozman (R-AR) recognized the service and sacrifice of Richard McKinney in ‘Salute to Veterans,’ a series recognizing the military service of Arkansans.

Richard McKinney spent much of his Air Force career in a division of the service he says is not usually popular – the Office of Special Investigations (OSI).

He grew up in a military household, following his dad’s Air Force career all over the world, and enlisted himself after graduating from Greenwood High School. McKinney attributed his father’s time on active duty to his decision to enlist. “I just kind of grew up and always knew that I liked that military life, I liked that structure. And growing up on the military bases it was just a very natural environment for me.”

McKinney joined the Air Force in 1973. He trained as an electrician and eventually moved into management with the civil engineering division, but re-enlisted and eventually found his calling when an OSI officer said they were looking for new agents.

He successfully navigated OSI’s rigorous selection process and throughout his career was involved with investigations that ranged from narcotics and fraud to counterintelligence. He also served in Operation Desert Shield and was assigned to help keep secret U.S. military programs secure.

“A commander would come up and say, “Okay. I’ve got this program. I’m not going to tell you what it is. I want you to send a team in this building – it’s where we work – and I want you to tell me if you can find any leaks about information about what we do, what we’re working on, where we’re going. Things like that,” McKinney shared. “We would do whatever we needed to do, just like an adversary would do. Then we would come back after those operations and write up a classified report and then we would go back to the organization.” “We always came in with a non-adversarial approach. We didn’t want to put anyone in jail. It was really a tool to help them plug the holes. Keeps those programs safe, secure.”

After more than 20 years McKinney retired from military service and began devoting time to the needs of veterans in his community. He served as a VFW Post Commander in Greenwood for many years and worked to enhance the organization’s public service work.

“We are recognized nationally at our post there for being a community service post, which we are extremely proud of,” McKinney said. “We are an outreach, we want to do things in the community. You need something done you come to the VFW, we will try to figure out how to get it done.”

McKinney also advocates for hiring veterans. “The veterans are such a huge asset. I tell people in private business: if you get somebody that’s done a hitch in the service, you’ve got a guy who knows how to show up on time. You’ve got a guy who knows how to dedicate himself to a project,” he said.

He has focused on getting a younger generation of men and women who served in uniform involved in local veteran organizations to help increase their influence on policies impacting them and their fellow veterans.

“Richard McKinney honorably served our nation in uniform and was dedicated to maintaining security for U.S. military programs. His time in our Armed Forces, devotion to our national security and concern for his fellow veterans all demonstrate his character and patriotism. I am grateful to collect and preserve his memories of service,” Boozman said.

Boozman will submit McKinney’s entire interview to the Veterans History Project, an initiative of the Library of Congress’s American Folklife Center to collect and retain the oral histories of our nation’s veterans.

Registration opens Aug. 28 for Walk Across Arkansas Fall 2023

By Rebekah Hall 
U of A System Division of Agriculture

As families resume their busy back to school schedules, it’s important to take time to exercise. Walk Across Arkansas, an eight-week, group-based exercise program from the Cooperative Extension Service, is designed to help Arkansans get moving and collaborate with peers.

GET MOVING, ARKANSAS — To help Arkansans get active, the Cooperative Extension Service’s Walk Across Arkansas program asks participants to log their number of minutes spent being physically active each day. The free program is offered each spring and fall, and past participants list numerous benefits, including better sleep, lower stress levels and strengthened relationships with teammates. (Division of Agriculture graphic.) 

The free program is offered each spring and fall by the Cooperative Extension Service, the outreach arm of the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture. Participants record the total number of minutes spent being physically active each day — and any moderate to vigorous physical activity that boosts the heart rate counts — not just walking.

Teams can consist of one person to as many as 30 people. Participants can register and log exercise minutes at walk.uada.edu/walk/. Registration for the fall 2023 session opens Aug. 28, and the competition starts Sept. 11 and ends on Nov. 5.

Heather Wingo, extension health program associate for the Division of Agriculture, said the Walk Across Arkansas program is a great resource for Arkansans looking to improve their health.

“Walk Across Arkansas provides an endless list of benefits, such as improving physical activity goals, encouraging teamwork, improved strength and stamina, and lower stress levels,” Wingo said. “And it’s completely free, making it very accessible for all participants.”

Positive results

During the spring 2023 Walk Across Arkansas session, 409 participants on 82 teams from 43 counties logged 1,036,886 minutes. Wingo said many participants reported they had more energy, slept better, controlled stress, strengthened relationships, lost weight or inches, and improved their blood panels and blood pressure.

“Participants can start slow and gradually build up their exercise time over the course of eight weeks as they get stronger,” Wingo said. “If you need a little motivation to get going, having friends with similar goals can help you stay on track.”

Anyone can participate in Walk Across Arkansas. Division of Agriculture employees must use a personal email address, not their work email address, to register. Visit walk.uada.edu/walk/ to learn more and register or contact your local county extension agent.
