My son came along and flew his drone and made a couple short highlight videos…. Enjoy

The lift has been great and my rock crawling has been more fun and less scraping 🤙🏽 Here’s a few highlights from Sunday wheeling with some friends. My son made the video for me

Mall crawlers thought of it years ago, this one was on my Ram 2500 for a few years and when I bought the Jeep and had plastic bumpers this came over and has lived on the Jeep ever since!

It’s a rear hitch skid plate, protects the spare and the hitch assembly from impacts!

12 rigs total and great weather for wheeling yesterday. My new suspension and sliders did great and got to do some obstacles I have been wanting to! Still plenty more that I still want to do for next time….. Here’s a few pictures!

I coordinated a Cougar Buttes day tomorrow (Sunday) and about a dozen rigs will be showing up to spend the day playing on the sand and rocks. Can’t wait to play around and have some fun with the new suspension! Now I’m ready for some “big kid” trails 🤙🏽🤣

Update: Got the lift, bumper, steering and sliders installed and love it! Looks great and wheels way better! Here’s a couple pics

The problem with dealerships is they hire low quality work for the most part …. People I don’t want working on my vehicle! A good Indy shop will have better quality work in my opinion, especially if they specialize in Jeeps and other off-road vehicles.

She wants me for the weekends and told me to go wheeling during the week. So, anyone in the Southern California desert who’s available on weekdays, let me know! I haven’t gone wheeling in almost a month…. Mostly because of the rainy weather but also because I don’t know many other Jeepers in...

Early March I can’t do but late March would work for me….. I should also have my lift on by then 🤙🏽

I’ve had my 2021 Xtreme Recon for a little over a year and in that time I’ve added new wheels and 37’s (doesn’t rub at all), aluminum front bumper and under belly skids and a winch. Also added a couple KC lights on the front bumper. It’s been awesome but I’ve been considering a lift to give it...

I am down any Friday, Saturday or Sunday! So many cool places to explore in Cougar Buttes and Johnson Valley!!
