Their off-road ability was highly regarded, and today the military industry continues to improve them:

• strengthen the body
• equip with weapons
• GPRS navigators,
• computers.

Jeeps are also loved by hunters and fishermen who go to their place of rest along roads and trails that run through swampy areas, mountains and forests or into the savannah on a safari. But the choice of this car is not limited to the obvious upcoming difficulties on the way, and a city dweller is happy to purchase it. Jeep - very expensive pleasure, because it consumes a lot of gasoline, and spare parts for it are not cheap. But there is another area where SUVs are becoming relevant - this is racing.

Extreme Jeep Racing Games

Unlike other speed competitions, jeeps put on real shows, because for them almost any obstacle can be overcome. They are able to develop tremendous speed, are not afraid of washed out roads, and, despite their external bulkiness, can fly long distances if they accelerate well. As additional task for them build several cars in a row, which the jeep must jump over, taking off from the springboard. During this performance, the condition is set - do not hit any car with the wheels and land on four wheels without turning over and continue the journey. You can take part in similar races by opening jeep racing games.

Huge boulders block the path, trees grow on the path, sand or ice threaten to slow you down. You will have not only sports competitions, but also crazy survival races, and among the tasks - the delivery of ammunition to your squad.

Jeeps suddenly take on a different color, and the prize in case of victory will not be a cup, but life. Rescue missions are also present and the injured and wounded are waiting for help from you. You have a task to deliver medicines or food to the jungle, where missionaries take care of wild tribes and animals. If you do not have time to deliver provisions in time, entire populations will be on the verge of extinction. But in the urban jungle there is another task - chases and shootouts with bandit clans, escape from the police along roads and sidewalks filled with other cars and pedestrians.
