Very cool. I've been dying to get back out on the trails, and hope to hit Moab again next year.

I've been making some changes to my jeep, so here's a poser shot of it from this weekend...the Rokmen sliders are off for paint and should be back this week.



Hopefully I'll get some wheeling in before summer is over.

Jeep is lookin good! While you are looking to get some wheeling in before summer is over..we are waiting for summer to be over so we can wheel! lol

It's just too hot here during the summer..no matter how early you start. We just invested in some new 38.5" Maxxis Creepy Crawlers, and now new rims and beadlocks are on the to buy list. It never ends! haha

4 Wheelin' sure is expensive.

I don't like the 100 degree wheeling either, but I'd like to go at least once before summer is over. I'm hoping to make it back to Moab in May of 2013.

Tires and wheels are on my list of wants, but they'll be down the road a bit. I also have several camera items on my list of wants....both lists are very pricey.

I resemble that remark!

LOL. ROFLMAO...no. Not at at all.

Went out wheeling a while back with a friend.
He wanted some portraits done so I mixed in the 4x4 and came up with some fun stuff.

Pretty nice portrait!

All done with the spending money on the Jeep for awhile. There are a couple of camera items I'd like to have....

I agree with this. Cant wait for this heat to be gone. Just been working on the truck lately including painting my internal cage and mounting a track system in the back. Dying for a full blown photo trip but still have to build the roof rack over the shell for the roof top tent. Lots of parts still to make.

They go hand in hand....including constantly handing over cash to someone else.

Haha..so true!

In other news..we got a 2 page spread and 4 page article in 4 Wheel Drive Sport & Utility magazine

Woot! Awesome to get a spread like that!

Me? I just did a wee bit of a mod today.



We are heading up to White Rock Lake (up near the site of Sierra Trek) for the 4th weekend. Should be fun. IDK how much wheelin' we're going to do. I'm taking the d.o.g (he doesn't know yet) and I'm sure it'll be 3 days of awesomeness!

Thanks

Sounds like a fun trip. It's so flipping hot that having no enclosed garage makes it pretty unbearable to do much of any modifications. I look forward to seeing pictures from your trip with the d.o.g.

Awesome!

Went up to White Rock Lake in the Sierras a couple weeks ago. Camped for three nights and just relaxed. A lot.


The road isn't very technical. Just challenging in a few spots.


White Rock Lake is a small to medium sized lake.


Flowers Everywhere.




Made a few star trails. But the night crowd made it a bit difficult-walking around with lights and what not.


Challenging rock to climb. If you don't mind getting water in the bed.




Some paddling was done.


Food for the masses.


Riley had a great time.


All too soon, it was time to air up and head back down the road and home.

White Rock Lake is located in the same area Sierra Trek has been held (and will be this year). About five miles up the road, there's a left turn sign-pretty much stay left on the trail to get to the lake. Bring mosquito repellent-lots.

Good times for sure.

Nothing better than getting away from it all ian, even if the trail's aren't hard core.

In the past week I've been on Black Bear Pass, in Colorado, and in Moab......saddly my Jeep was home in the garage. I was driving the wife's 2012 Explorer, on our family road trip to Disneyland. But my wife took a couple of shots (can't post them now) of me driving the Explorer on the start of Black Bear Pass and Onion Creek in Moab....lol.

Black Bear, Engineer, and so many other opportunities in CO!

I just swapped the rear springs in the Tacoma for a more suitable set of OME Dakars. So far, so good! Going to be extra ready for Sierra Trek this year

This was on Onion Creek Trail, in Moab.....



....in the wife's 2012 Exlporer.....

You should have gotten a rental
