FEATURED VEHICLE

Year/Make/Model: 2014 Jeep Wrangler JKU Owner: Tore Greco Location: Vernon BC Instagram: @tore_greco

Tore Greco and his 2014 Jeep Wrangler JKU, a nameless female by the way, live in Vernon, BC. His choice of make is interesting. Jeep is not specifically the brand he is loyal to: “I’ve always been a Ford guy. Started young with a Ford family and have always loved them inside and out.” However: “It was a no brain- er to build a Jeep considering the endless list of mods and the capability of the vehicle.” He hasn’t had his Jeep long enough to have added all he wants to it yet, but it is already his Dream Ride: “The first time I had to winch myself out of a mud hole after getting covered top to bottom, I knew it was a vehicle I wanted to continue to build and felt like it was mine.” The first thing he added, a “bumper/winch combo” was an experience-based choice: “Too many times being stuck or out alone made it an easy decision for my first mod.” Tore’s fondest memory so far also relates to his Jeep’s abilities: “I was cruising the backwoods and found a steep rocky hill, doors were off and 4 low was engaged. I felt it was the per- fect opportunity to test hill descent mode so I pushed the button and walked down the hill beside it, hoping it would work!”

The enthusiast lifestyle has a strong social element for Tore: “I have been a part of the Alberta Truck Addicts family for a few years now. It was recommended by a friend and I quickly realized how much of a family the group really is. The boys in charge put on meets and shows down to camping and bonfires. From helping in the community or certain individuals with fundraising, charity rides or just information, they always give all they can.” With many mods still to come, we can expect a great future for Tore and his Jeep.
