Maybe next time. Gads, those Jeeps are AMAZING!! Looks like 40" tires are pretty much the norm now. Also saw a Unimog with "Historic Vehicle" Cali plates on it drive over stuff effortlessly that some of the highly modified Jeeps really struggled with. Huge tires, super low gears, and a driver with big brassies seems to be the ticket.
I have been exploring all over Utah most weekends in The Van Elenora since I got back from the Mojave trip with the OB guys. What a great bunch!
Oh, just FYI, I don't name vehicles (I am a professional mechanic, they are simply machines), but as an Overlander this one is so big I thought it needed a title instead of a name.
Hope to meet you someday. In the mean time, be "just safe enough"
