A shot of the rig from April 2nd.

Just a short trip for the evening... parked and took pictures. Short video too, but the Jeep isn't featured:

More decals: (Actually ended up removing the fire extinguisher decal from this location). Ram ball on my rear view mirror: shown with a gopro facing rear - but the RAM products are so versatile you can position it however you want and lock it into place.

My hood latches are still OEM - the Smittybilt limb riser kit has pieces that just fit under the existing hood latch. It's an easy 5 minute installation. 10mm wrench required I believe. Now, the upper mounts can be riveted into the door frame, or if you're running a roof rack, it's up to you...

Just a couple of decals for today.... Yes, they should be in color, but I only go with black on my Jeep.

It's not likely an original idea, but it is my take on the ever popular grilled cheese sandwich. It is something I've been cooking up at base camp (and home) for a while now, and I finally took some time to record a video on it. It may not be the healthiest breakfast option, but it's a tasty...

Added "those wire things"... Actually overheard a guy explaining them to his wife the other day.. they drove away in mini-van, but he must have a bit of knowledge.

went for a drive... got dirty... tried out my DIY "light pen".

She has no excuse: In Alberta, you can still get some nice Northern Light 'shows' in the middle of summer!

Sure, it's not our 'expected' form of overlanding, but really - it's all about getting out and enjoying nature. I'm seriously considering a weekend long "overlanding" event with these dogs for next winter - I think it would be a whole lot of fun!

Vagabondexpedition heads out and does a little bit of winter camping in Alberta. Snows all gone in this area, but the cold isn't. -9C and some pretty strong winds. Glad I have a Tepui Weatherhood to block out wind and trap in the heat! A room with a view... but that bloody wind was nasty...

JKU in Alberta!

I'm running a Tepui at the moment and have nothing but good things to say. I do have an anti-condensation mat. I camp in the chilly (and sometimes cold) weather. It helps keep moisture out of the foam mattress. I don't use a mattress cover though - I'm always in a sleeping bag. My Jeep...

I had been playing around with my Jeep programmer.. I think I found a hidden setting to enable Ludicrous Speed. I need to do more testing before releasing the details, as I'd hate to see it mis-used and have someone go Plad (I'm sure some of you will get the references). Shortly after...

Went for a drive a couple of nights ago... there was 'aurora' in the space weather forecast, but with the clear skies and a nearly full moon, I didn't really have my hopes too high for spotting anything. Figured I'd take advantage of the 'bright night' and hoar frost on the trees though...

first trip out with the Jeep this year.... went out to a local park with fire pits... wood was cold and frozen and I just couldn't get a fire started... thought I'd siphon out a bit of gasoline and use that to help the fire along, and well, things got out of hand....

It's definitely top heavy with the RTT. Although I see some people doing some hard-core wheeling with an RTT - having it does have me pick trails and runs differently than without it. You can for sure notice the weight with regular driving too. All that being said, I don't mind it - and you...

The solar storm from December 19th continued on into the next day (and night). Once it got dark, I ventured out for more 'storm chasing' and captured these shots. The photo of this one doesn't do it justice at all.. the brilliance, and the colors 'rippling' along the sky was an incredible...
