Drove two of my rigs. Started the third. It's been snowing for the last few days and it looks like it'll keep going off and on all week.

I ended up riding my bike in the snow all weekend. Didn't even really drive in it much at all.

In all honesty, I plan on removing the electronic disconnect from my JKUR. I'd prefer a manual disconnect since the electronic disconnect is known to have problems. Plus getting out of my rig to disconnect and reconnect it offers an opportunity to look over my rig another time for any issues...

I'm running an Atoto Bluetooth OBD2 reader that pairs with my Atoto head unit. I am currently running the Torque Lite version until I decide the Pro version is worth paying for. So far, I am enjoying the ability to read coolant temp, as well as intake temp with a past of some overheating issues...

Thank you!

Thank you! Hoping the new year will yield some more inspiration and opportunities.

Thanks Neal! You got it right with Bushcraft. Thank you for the intro! Looking forward to being of service and having some fun along the way.

I rotate my EDC pocket knife from an assisted open gerber to a voyager. I have a leatherman I keep handy when camping or for random needs around the house. I really enjoy my Becker BK9 for general camp use for breaking down firewood for kindling and tinder, as well as for clearing brush. Very...

That's plenty. With good tires, and some recovery gear, you should be set. Main focus is really the camp setup since we don't need much for off-road capability.

Plenty of space to explore with mild built or stock rigs in Kansas with some ORV's and some hidden gems to test your rigs limits and your abilities. What rig do you have?

Thanks!

Baja Designs S1/S2 or KC Hilites flex lights would be my two suggestions as they both have replaceable lenses. Spendy, but worth it for the size and durability. I have seen one of these companies make a specific chase light bar, both make one I believe, but that may not suite your needs...

Some things that I haven't mentioned in my updates that also aren't necessarily picture worthy are limited but important. As listed above, I have an ATOTO Android head unit. This has been very nice since it really works well with my phone, but I have never explored its uses as a standalone unit...

I have gone on a few adventures with the rig on a smaller scale. I've driven a couple hundred miles hitting some backroad sites near my home, loaded up and camped out of the rig solo but with some friends, as well as explored in the snow since I hadn't had a chance with this rig since it's...

Perhaps another long post. Montana was an amazing trip! I definitely plan on going back. We stayed in a Bates Motel (nasty and sketchy AF) on the way up since it was nearing midnight/1am and we were on the road for about 16 hours, so a stop was needed. After pushing for another driving day, we...

Be prepared for a long post! Put the new fridge slide to good use hauling some heavier Jeep parts to their new owner. Made for an easy haul. Added a solid rear recovery point from Factor55. Little did I know this would come in handy on the night of a good friends wedding when one of the...

Been somewhat MIA due to some issues with work closing down and taking time off. The 100 has seen some use in the last 6 months, 100% what I got it for. Pictures and stories to come. I also ushered in a new rig into the stable, but don't worry, this one is purely for rock crawling/hardcore trails.

It’s finished! Got my fridge slide installed to use with my RTIC cooler for now. The slide is a Tortuga Off-road and it seems to be well made. Time will tell if it holds up.

It’s all needed as you know, and have stated. This rig is teetering on 230k. My plan is to knock out all the initial maintenance (fluids, timing belt, front hubs, etc) before I take it on a long trip to Montana. I’m sure it’ll make it without doing some things but I don’t wanna risk it.

Thanks! It’s been quite the project. Luckily most of the work has been maintenance or needed items. Still a long list of maintenance and upgrades.
