I live out here. I could probably be convinced to scout out a spot or two given it's started to cool down! There are a couple that I know of, I'd have to mark them on a map when I get home, though.

Well, I missed last year due to mechanical issues a-plenty. This year is looking promising however. Count me in, for now at least!

Well, I feel at ease to say I have been officially released from my previous job as of Thursday. I move on to bigger and better things! Currently, I am working for a local gun store whose owners also support my off road and overland shenanigans. I have to say, it's very refreshing to work with...

With the Jeep running well, I was able to buy a part I've been eyeballing for a long time. A quick message and small payment to an online junkyard and Viola! The Pseudo-ashtray has been swapped with the 2004 style cubbyhole. Probably the easiest swap in the Jeep (probably). I also replaced...

I felt similarly when I was in the market for something to occupy the grille space. I ended up getting a light bar for cheap at Autozone (I think it's a 24 inch?). Puts out a good amount of light and fits just right for the grille area. I may go a little bit larger in the future, but for what I...

Well, the Jeep has been running great. The A/C is still on the fritz, however with the rig being mechanically sound currently, I cant complain much. I am at an interesting time in my life, as my current employer is shutting down it's location here in a few weeks. I am left with few options- Find...

Well, I'm pleased to report Pegasus is back from the mechanic. he really is the Jeep whisperer, as the jeep spat out several DTCs at him. A new CPS was necessary, but also we figured out what was causing the P0121 as well. When I installed the snorkel, I used 2 single ply non-reinforced silicone...

So, the Shenanigans continue. Today the Jeep went to my mechanic to have the continuing P0121 finished once and for all. We'll see what has caused this soon enough, I hope.

So the Jeeps back, $1200 later. It starts, it runs, it's driveable. But the P0121 persists. It barely gets up to 45MPH, as previously. But it starts, so there's that. Back to square one. I'll have my (non dealer) mechanic look at it.

So the new PCM was installed, and promptly died in about a mile. I am not happy right now. Our local dealership has kindly offered to replace it with an OEM part. Since the PCM P/N I need seems to only directly available from Mopar UK, I figured I'm gonna let them (the dealership) do the job...

So the TPS (p0121) code continued coming back. Regardless of anything else I did, including swapping in a new Mopar TPS, and even a new Mopar MAP sensor, the code absolutely won't go away. I Replaced the TPS plug as it was worn and wobbly, and still no dice. Pulled the Throttle body, and...

Well, another oddball part for the Jeep! It doesn't look like it, but it's got a few tricks up its sleeve. This thermostat from Mishimoto. For anyone who has ever seen the price tag on these: Yep, I took one for the team. I had to do a coolant flush anyways, so I figured I'd pick this bugger...

So, after a week of research, I found that PEGASUS OPS tablet- The Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1" Mentioned in the previous post, may not really be toast. A few months ago, I replaced the battery. I believed the replacement to be a genuine Samsung battery, but it turned out to be a counterfeit. The...

Well, it's with great sadness that I say my Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1" (SM-T520) has faded out of functionality after 3 valiant years of use. Which means I have to find a new tablet to use as my ops unit. I was using it one day, and it flickered a few times, the touch screen went dead, then the...

Another Arizona friend! Welcome! Sent from my SM-T520 using OB Talk mobile app

I thought I'd post up a few of my favorite photos from over the years. I love the diversity of the different rigs everybody owns! Backway to Crown King (2013) Crown King, AZ Golden Spike Moab, UT (2015) Golden Spike Moab, UT (2015) Golden Spike Moab, UT (2015) Golden Spike Moab, UT...

A Week after y'all ran the Mojave, I tried to make the trip from the Avi to Fort Piute, I had to hit the road at US 95 however. My Alternator died, which meant I had JUST enough charge on my batteries to limp her home. I also damaged my Power Steering Gearbox, and stripped out a track bar...

Well, Tuesday a new PS (Power Steering) Gearbox went in. Man, my old one must have been in pretty bad shape, because the Jeep is WAAAAY easier to maneuver. She is in need of alignment, which will come Monday. Otherwise, I can say that we're getting the old bucket back together again. I just need...

Still pretty hot here in September usually. That being said, given how unpredictable the weather has been, who knows? haha The usual recommended time of year to run it is October- March, but people do still traverse it in April and September.

On this day 5 years ago, this wild, crazy adventure began. Here's to another 5!
