    Camp Photos!

    Not exactly overlanding but sitting in a campground (she’s not a fan of not having a restroom ) with my daughter by the campfire enjoying a beverage and just talking about life and everything that’s changing for her going to high school next year is better than any exploring/camping trip in the...

We spend so much time working on the rest of our bodies...

    Another Holiday sale, or is it really a sale?

    This has been the norm for most all industries for a long time , sales are not really sales ever .. unless it’s a clearance rack sort of thing .

    Starting over again for the last time . 2016 jku rubicon hard rock .

    the seats and everything are super comfy ( heated leather ) the suspension is a little stiff but the beauty of Jeep’s is everything is very easy to change and tune to your liking . A 2” lift with progressive rate coils are in the near future .

    Well found out after 2 days of straight rain my tent leaks , on the really bad side it leaked right on the cots and sleeping bags so we ended up taking everything out of the jeep and sleeping in there . Turns out sleeping inside is actually quite comfortable. Have some stuff to figure out for...

    What your thoughts on a cable winch puller

    If a come along is all you can get it’s better than nothing plus with a unibody suv your most likely not going to be buried up to the axle and really stuck , might only take a few inches of movement to get enough traction to get going again . I think traction boards and a come along would work...

    Needed a quick way to separate some gear this morning so I whipped up this quick shelf , I’m sure my neighbors loved me running tools at 8 am on a Sunday but things gotta get done . Need to do some serious downsizing with gear to get things more compact but it all fits behind the seat .

    I definitely will and once I get back it’s going to be back in the wood shop mode. That was a big decision in buying something with a warranty I got tired of the time I did have off getting taken up by cars and not a woodworking

    i was hoping to go with the terraflex bumpstops but I have to do things on the cheap side for a while with all the money I dropped into my truck before I got fed up with it and traded it in and putting the down and everything on the jeep to combat The skyrocketing vehicle pricing right now.

    Got most all my camping gear in behind the seats I will most likely make a simple shelf to divide some of the gear to make things more accessible. Heading out this weekend with the little one to do a little exploring then camp at the coast for some fishing and relaxing .
