The adventures of a Jeep and its driver.
Part of our trip to Colorado was to take our Jeeps over Black Bear Pass. I wanted to make something as a memento of the trip by creating this steel replica of the summit marker and chemically rusting it. I made a short video on how I did this that you can see by clicking the link in my bio and then the image of the sign replica.

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.

I’ve been ignoring this pinion seal leak for about 3 years now. I guess I should fix it. LOL! I made a short video of the fix – check the link in my bio.

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.
