Alexa Brown Shares Her Appreciation for Jeeps, Off-Roading, and K&N Products
Alexa Brown Shares Her Appreciation for Jeeps, Off-Roading, and K&N Products
12 Feb 2013
Alexa Brown installed her K&N air intake by herself in less than an hour
Regardless of our noble attempts to the contrary - initially, we all judge eye-catching books by their covers - it is after all a part of our basic survival hardwiring. Our acutely sensitive vision was designed to be ever vigilant for predators on the horizon and the next encouraging locale for a delicious snack. Without the ability to make snap judgments based on looks we certainly wouldn’t have evolved. Nevertheless, had we not regularly exercised the aptitude to look beneath the surface, we’d still be living in caves, and oysters on the-half shell clearly wouldn’t exist.
Misleading first impressions of model Alexa Brown may have you believe she’s a southern California beach dweller, providing an ample stream of material for shallow blonde quips. Alexa is in fact a Jersey girl with a healthy addiction to Jeeps, off-roading, and the great outdoors.
Alexa’s enjoyment for nature started with weekend camping trips she took with her father
"Every weekend my father would take me up in the mountains in his 2001 Jeep Wrangler Sahara," Alexa explains." We'd drive up the mountains to camp and hike, crawl over some rocks, and splash through some mud while rockin' out to Bruce Springsteen. So I’ve always wanted a Jeep of my own someday and eventually I got there."
Alex Brown became an offroad enthusiast at a young age while going for rides in her father's Jeep
"A Jeep isn't like any other car," Alexa continues. "It's not made to be fast or luxurious. Having a Jeep really depends on your personality. It's for those who seek adventure and want to go to places they've never gone before. There is nothing that I enjoy more than being out in the great outdoors with my Jeep. I am adventurous and love animals and outdoor activities. If I could choose where I would live, I would live by the mountains. I love driving my Jeep through deep mud pits and getting it covered with mud. The best part is then driving back into town with mud flying off the tires and everybody staring at me. A muddy jeep turns more heads than a Ferrari!"
The K&N intake part number offers increased performance for Alexa's Rubicon
Alexa’s Jeep Rubicon in an ongoing project, as she keeps adding more aftermarket goodies every year. "I even keep a little toy Jeep inside my Jeep, which I used to play with when I was younger, because I wanted my Jeep to look like that one day." Her latest addition towards that goal is a K&N 77 Series High-Flow Performance Air Intake, which she installed herself.
"The installation took about 45 minutes to an hour and it was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be. I have known about K&N products for about six years. Most of my friends use K&N products and they all love the results, which is why I chose K&N."
Alexa has already modeled several times for automotive related projects and feels equipped to expand that into other major companies
Alexa has been modeling for Cycle City, a motorcycle store in New York, for over a year now. She has also modeled for numerous talented photographers looking to expand and advertise their own portfolios. "I have done all sorts of modeling for cars and trucks, motorcycles, fitness, and swimsuit ads, etc," recounts Alex. "I would love to eventually get my modeling career out there and become more noticed so I could represent all sorts of different companies."
Adding even more reason to be cautious when making verdicts based solely on erroneous outward appearance, Alexa adds with a knowing smile. "Modeling isn't the only thing I am concerned with though, I am in my junior year of college majoring in biology, and I hope to go to Medical School after I graduate. I am not just some dumb blonde, which is what most people think. I was actually a geek in high school!"
The Jeep Wrangler is one of the most iconic off road vehicles avialable and many enthusiasts like Rebeca Olavarrieta, Alex Andrade along with Ben and Nicki Parker can certainly apreciate the oustanding off road performance.
