Congrats (again) on the leadership appointment.

I have to share this somewhat funny story. I just went back and looked at the link provided regarding the BRC PAC from 2002. I notice Wayne Allard was a top recipient of BRC funding. The picture I use for my Avitar was taken by Wayne Allard. While BRC may have had a PAC in 2002,(under different...

I check them from time to time, I don't believe they are public. You can always call me, I like hearing from you.

I don't believe Del, or Todd makes a habit of getting into debates on the interweb, so you may not get a response. That being said, I am not acting as a proxy for BRC. I simply hope to clarify my personal experience with BRC that goes back many years. I respect both men regardless of at times...

I can from experience support the statements above in regard to lobbying. I previously worked for an organization that did make lobbying on behalf of the motorized recreation industry a priority and found myself at times at odds with the positions of BRC leadership. It takes little effort to dig...

In 2006 I issued a challenge to the Off-Road Community after reading an article about an environmental activist who was cleaning up the mess left by 4 wheelers during the annual Red Rock 4 wheelers Moab Jeep Safari. While not a sanctioned event during Safari, the popular Potato Salad hill climb...

Not a lot to report, but work does continue. Charlie got new ball joints, new Bilstein 5100 shocks, and a front end alignment. I am currently researching my options for gears and lockers. My friends at Sierra Gear and Axle as well as 4 wheel parts have been helpful in giving me options. I was...

Upgraded my 8-year-old BFG tires with some new 37" BFG AT's today.

Thanks for sharing, Any current dates for work parties?

I talked to Del, last week about this site and believe he signed up. I imagine he will be more than happy to help in regards to this topic. If needed I can reach out to him again. I will also be willing to help where I can, but I put my land use advocate hat in storage a few years ago. I am...

Solo adventure is a like a drug. Your family, friends and peer group will tell you to stop, but you will just keep doing it until you get stung. Get in front of the inevitable and buy a "spot tracker" as an insurance policy. Thankfully I have never had to push the button and call the cavalry...

I will put it on my calendar.

Had some time this afternoon to work on Charlie and decided to daily drive the old truck for a while so I can shake the trouble out of it. Friday afternoon, I headed down to my local 4 wheel parts to find out what a pipe dream of ARB air-lockers and 5.13 gears might set me back. No surprise, its...

So remember I said I could not remember the last time I changed the oil? I decided that before I go any further, I should take Charlie in for an inspection. $$$$$ later I have a new clutch, no oil leaks a clean bill of health, new motor mounts and a handful of new parts. Even at 173K miles the...

So at this point, I am starting to like the truck again and can see a vision for what it can become when the wife tells me how terrible the interior is. I was skeptical about spray painting the interior, but keep in mind, this is a low budget truck, so I can't make it worse. You can...

I don't have any photos of the work that went into removing the rust from the roof rack or the painful process of cutting it in half so I could make it wide enough to fit two kayaks. but you get the picture. The kayak rack mounts are custom made as are most of the parts on this truck. So far we...

The tire carrier was lonely, so we built it a companion. My Locking design is a little different. I am not sure If I like it yet, but it is pretty simple and uses standard hitch locks.

Years ago I had started building a swing away tire carrier, but life happened and never finished. I bribed my son to come over to the shop during the winter and help me finish that project. Now I could start to see what Charlie could become......An Adventure vehicle. Notice rusty roof rack and...

That should just about catch us up. The next posts happening in recent months. I had a set of leaf springs that I purchased and never installed on Charlie. One weekend I was bored and the ball started rolling again. The Dana 50 TTB front end uses leaf springs but is actually an IFS front...
