When are you thinking...? :P

Dude, nice! That trail is a fun one! Glad you're getting out there, i bet you could make it out to gold lake and to do the A tree and stuff. There are a lot of cool roads and trails out there.

It takes a lot to make a trip go bad but I'm always pretty bummed when I find lots of human caused trash out in the middle of nowhere.

Yep. Lots of wisdom there, I hope others can see that and maybe make some changes to their own rigs. Gears/tires/brakes/lowest possible lift for the tires were the main things in mind when I built up my jeep for a reason. Its so easy to get way overboard weight wise on our rigs, and then when...

Wellp....over the last week or so between work stuff and other BS I was getting pretty stressed out and frustrated with work, life and general stress... So @Pi_Baker let me escape for a quick overnight trip out to the Shaver Lake area! I didn't have a solid plan as i just threw my camping gear...

Thanks!! Its a pretty new to me area so I'm going to be doing a bunch of exploring and trying to see what I can do solo/semi-solo.

I'm kinda bummed to miss this, I'll be out exploring the Shaver Lake area that weekend. There is a change my parter, @Pi_Baker would be interested...

Hah! This is litterly a big part of my job as well, CAD, Verifying hardware and processess, working on development hardware and prototyping stuff before we start production on flight articles. Just with the truck and jeep stuff I don't have to go through review cycles and I can instead just make...

Welp... that didn't work, haha. Got some model changes inc but it should work out in the end.

Welp, after a few more revisions of the upper shock mount bracket CAD model, i got to a point where I was happy enough with it to start making a drawing of the parts to make it and then I built a very rough cardboard model to start working out the overall interfaces of this thing. I still gotta...

'lil bit, yah!

HAH, she was wondering why it was acting funny around some corners on the way back and uh, it made more sense when we got under it at home...

Whole buncha updates!! My jeep needed some new front rotors so I decided to go ahead and get a big rotor kit and also replace the front brake lines... Huge increase in stopping power! Up next... Here it is with the coilovers installed doing test fits... spoiler, it didn't work out. The...

Yay! Hi!

Totally! When we got home and noticed it I got to welcome her into the "you broke stuff off road club!" We can either stay stock and slow down or spend more money to keep going fast... She picked the later option, hehehe. I have a lot of stuff to get sorted out for her truck in the near...

Awesome trip! it was super fun to meet y'all out there. We had a tiny bit of carnage on the way out after we too off from front of the group... Alix sounds like she's going to be going the group here shortly. After we left the group on the ridge, Alix took off down the front and that was...

Ewwww mud. Hope we don't get any...

We're going to try to go camp somewhere around Forest hill or sugar pine reservoir area Friday night... Not sure what else is around that area thatd be good dispersed camping tho so we're just making guesses. Totally open to suggestions ;P

The jeeps can be tricky. I'm 5'10" and my wife is 6'2", our kid is tall as well, however you have underseat storage. I'd suggest to start keeping a list of what you use/don't use each trip and start actively looking at solutions each time you go out, a lot of others mentioned backpacking gear...

The tailgate sticker collection is growing! Kinda silly seeing it grow over the years.
