The adventures of a Jeep and its driver.
A few weeks ago, some friends of mine and I traveled out to the San Juan National Forest to explore the mountain passes and old gold and silver mines. What an epic trip. Black Bear Pass was the pinnacle of the trip. Breathtaking views. Perfectly clear skies. Even took a ride on an old narrow gauge railroad. Awesome way to see an extraordinary part of this great nation. Can’t wait to go back again.

Got some much needed and deserved trail therapy in at Windrock Offroad Park in Tennessee. Along with three other friends, we spend 3 days and drive 67 miles of trails, including Trail 16, mostly blues and blacks. Thought about running some reds, but decided to reserve that for the next trip here when we have more time to pull winch cable. ;)

Installed a set of @offroadonly_oro rock lights in the Mule. I’ve wired the switch so that I can turn them on when I want, but I can also tie them in to the dome lights. Hope to be putting these to use in a week.

With EJS being canceled for this year, and then uncancled, and then canceled, and uncanceled … I lost track, is it on or not? Doesn’t matter. Sitting this one out. Maybe next year.

Helping a friend replace the engine in his 2013 JK. Everything had been disconnected except the motor mounts at this point. Just need to pull this block and the first part is done. Should be able to get the new block assembled and in by the end of next weekend. It’s been educational for sure.
Celebrating some birthdays this week with a trip to Anthracite Outdoor Adventure Area. Matt, Chris and I have birthday’s within a week of each other. TJ’s is about a month away. Even though Mike’s isn’t close, we let him come along anyway. 🙂 – Video link in my bio!
Spent the better part of two days wheeling the trails at AOAA. This is an awesome off road park for all kinds of enthusiasts. They allow motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs and full size vehicles, like Jeeps. Some trails are restricted to Jeeps only.
Even after two solid days of wheeling, there are more parts to this park we didn’t see than we did. Will definitely be making a trip back some time in the not too distant future.
