Here’s the deal. Making a trip up to Montana towards the end of September for a wedding. The plan for the return trip to Arizona is to spend 5 days exploring Utah and I’m throwing out an invite to anyone who wants to join me and my adventurous young family! So far the tentative plan is as...

Thanks, I love getting compliments from Jeep owners. Most of the time when Jeep guy is hassling me about my Toyota, he’s driving some $100k JK that’s never left the pavement. I really enjoy this community and it’s “run whatcha brung” inclusive mentality! Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

Five & Dime strikes again!!! Driving into work the other morning I had to execute a quick stop on the freeway during traffic when I experienced a failure of a rear driver lower link. It appears as though the threads failed on the heim joint and/or the link itself, making for a very...

I didn’t break the stock axle down to the spindle so I can’t answer your question. I ended up ordering the wrong backing plate, but dexter makes a brake kit that will work with the stock parking brake. I’ll probably upgrade to that in the future. I can’t give you a report on the electric...

I've only made a few trips to Moab over the years and with so much still to see, we vectored our rig north and left the heat of Phoenix behind us. This trip was to be a special one. My dad finally, after many years of waiting, secured himself his dream rig. With a little help from his son he...

When we bought our FJ Cruiser 4 years ago we didn't have any kids and overall space wasn't a big concern. After our oldest came along I new we had a choice to make; Either upgrade from the FJ to something bigger or, get a trailer. I was not at all interested in getting rid of my beloved rig...

On a trip not long ago my ARB ckma12 air Compressor quit working rendering my front air locker useless as well as not being able to air up the tires at trails end. I didn’t realize just how much I loved this piece of Gucci gear until quit on me. On the trail I started to trouble shoot...

Interesting! I have a Fab Four rear bumper and have not found any decent way to mount a jerry can. I’d be curious to find someone with one of these... perhaps a trip over to the FJCruiser forums is in order. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

Over the last year or so, I have been teaching my wife’s 17yo brother the ins and outs of off-roading and rock crawling. During our last Moab trip I had been talking with him about some of the many gremlins that have plagued my FJ over the years. Well, for Christmas he made this up for me and...

Took the family out for a day excursion on the Tip Top Mine trail north of Phoenix in the Table Mesa OHV area. I’ve referenced this book before and it is a great resource for finding places to explore in AZ! This trail is #38 in the book. Our first stop was an old Indian fort over looking...

My wife and mother-in-law met us in Crown King in our truck, and rattled the battery cables loose on the senator highway. I’d love to take a rally car up that ;) Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

My in-laws were in town for the holidays and wanted to do some 4wheeling so we loaded up and headed out to drive the Back Way to Crown King, just north of Phoenix AZ. We hit the trail just before sunrise. One of my favorite signs to stumble across. A short way in we caught up with some kids...

Finally got the pictures from Fins N Things. We set out Friday night driving a small section of Fins N Things to satisfy my craving for some nighttime rock crawling, and test out my new rock lights. I had never done any serious nighttime wheelin' before and there were some lessons learned...
