With the build complete it was time to get serious on some trails. A buddy from Houston had a couple back out on a room in a condo and asked if I was interested in going to Moab. I will say it is impossible for me to say no to a trip to Moab! Travel […]
Trails
Shakedown Run in Bridgeport, TX
I finally got a chance to put a wheeling trip on the calendar. This trip was planned as the first outing after the engine swap, and all the major modifications. All the break-in maintenance was complete and it was time to put the Jeep in the dirt. We decided we would drive the Jeep to […]
Moab 2019 Part 2, Day 5
Moab Rim Trail Today was a draw straw day. Our base camp group was up late the night before trying to get Derek off the trail so they rested in. We opted to get up get gas and ice and go see if anybody was at the City Market waiting to select trails. The parking […]
Moab 2019 Part 2, Day 4
Behind the Rocks The goal for this trip was to take at least one day and ride trails with the locals. It worked out that the Moab Friends for Wheelin’ group planned a club run to Behind the Rocks for July 4th. With the temps starting to climb in the summer months, the club wanted […]
Moab 2019 Part 2, Day 3
Steering Repair and La Sal Mountain Pass Well, it’s day 3 of our Moab adventure, and our challenge for the morning is to resolve the steering mess we created last night on the Golden Stairs. Before it got too hot I was able to spread the sand mat and moving blanket out in the driveway […]
Moab 2019 Part 2, Day 2
Poison Spider, Golden Spike, and Gold Bar Rim With day one in the books, it was time to set out for day two. Derek was able to get the tie rod bung welded back in place Monday night, so he was good to go for another day of riding. On the agenda today, Poison Spider, […]
Moab 2019 Part 2, Day 1
Onion Creek, Rose Garden Hill, and Top of the World We got an opportunity to go back to Moab this year so we jumped on it and hooked up with some South Texas Jeepers that had a room available. The planning started almost right after we got back from our March Moab trip, so the […]
Quick Run Out to Barnwell Mountain
Today was thrown together mid-week with my friend Steven wanting to take his SxS out to get dirty. His son Brendan had not had an opportunity to ride along on the trails, so we headed east for a day trip. Barnwell is still one of my favorite Texas spots to ride trails. We got to […]
Jeep on the Beach
Cindi signed up for a half marathon run in Galveston so we decided to drive the Jeep down. We stayed at The Four Seasons on the Gulf condos. The condo was roomy with 2 bedrooms, big living area, and a full kitchen. We had a free day to hang out in Galveston on Saturday so […]
Trip to Barnwell Mountain
After making several changes to the Jeep it was time to take it out to play. We packed up and headed to Barnwell Mountain Off Road Park. Barnwell is still one of my favorite places to wheel. The unmistakable red mud will stain everything it touches, but that won’t keep us from going back to […]
