Our Vegas based Jeep Club spent last week in Moab and these are the highlights.

Couple of us braved the 105° temps in Logandale yesterday and here's the evidence. http://youtu.be/u5cCt7Czszo

I bought the DJI Phantom quadcopter to fly my GoPro H3BE a month ago to get different angles in my videos. Thankfully a couple of the guys are throttle happy and one was a complete manic so I got some killer footage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMhORkheojg&feature=youtube_gdata_player...

Anyone else excited about the new cameras? The Black edition has a "Superview" that gives you a wider angle on a short distance. I've been playing with a boom off my rig and the closer I can get would definitely be easier in tight canyons. The other new feature is improved night vision in an...

Just submitted my video in the GoPro Studio 2.0 contest. They are giving away a MacPro and a bunch of their gear to the winner. Anyone else got a video in? Here's mine.

Trying to get some more exciting angles from my GoPro I modified a rotating boom idea I saw online. They mounted a short length of PVC on a swivel caster mount to a skateboard helmet with counterweight against the camera. I went bigger and used a 10' piece of conduit. I need to find a better...

Our Vegas Jeep Club, War Machines 702, just finished our second annual trip to Big Bear. Had a great time, some of you saw some of the carnage. Mostly my driver front LCA frame side bracket tore off, a rear frame side trackbar mount began to tear and a JKR bent a rear axle. We ran Gold Mt and...

We were down in Big Bear this weekend and on the first trail we ran, Gold Mt, I heard a noise near my driver front after an easy open trail section. When I got out and looked I saw my front driver LCA hanging from the axle side bracket. The entire frame side mount had torn off the frame cleanly...

Just saw RESQ1 headed North on the I-15 in Cali 75 miles South of Vegas. Wonder where she's playing this weekend.

Last weekend was the benefit run for Crown King, AZ put on by the AZ Krawlers. Last summer they had a forest fire followed by a flood that washed out the road in. The town used to have gold mines but relies strictly on tourism and caters to the offroad community. 4 of us brought 3 rigs out to...

As some you may have heard our local Vegas club the War Machines 702 ran the first ever Vegas Jeep Marathon yesterday. It consisted of the 4 toughest trails we do in the South Vegas valley. Potato Ridge, Tie Rod Canyon, Devil's Peak and Copper Cache/Gold Mind in Nelson. I put over 200 miles on...

Just installed the smaller tailgate trunk that fits behind the 2 dr rear seat. Would have loved the extra space of the larger version but at $465 I chose the smaller $200 version. Ordered it from Northridge4x4 and got it within a week. The install is very simple, about a half hour from boxed...

I've had the project in my head for a while and finally put it down on metal. I got the idea originally when I saw that Rock Hard sells their sport cage collars separate for fabricators. Theirs are a bit more than I needed (I assume they are steel) and more than I wanted to spend at $36 a piece...

And they don't seem to get much easier. Grrrr The owner broke a banjo bolt over torquing, luckily there was enough to turn it back out. Auto Zone said they had it but just had a bag of parts to hang the brake line. Just Brakes, Pep Boys, O'Riley....no, no, no. Dealer had one but the only parts...

After 2 months in the shop, Skirmish and her new engine are back on the trails just in time for a run through Tie Rod Canyon. 12 Jeeps from the War Machines 702 and an F-250 run the scenic trail on January of 2013. Enjoy part 1 of my newest video. http://youtu.be/quCoKcOPb1s

After 2 months on the beach I finally got to run rock again. Some of you may remember WOL posting a video of Vengeance at Hump and Bump a while back, my engine blew on the way out to that event and today was my first chance to crawl again. I lead 12 other rigs including JK's, TJ's, an XJ (stock)...

Looking at toys for the nephews and it seems like all the Wrangler stuff is TJ. The rest of the vehicles are fairly up to date. Saw a Raptor pick up, a modern FJ, new body camaro and mustangs but still the TJ body style.

I may have a problem.

Headed up the highway to hit Hump and Bump in Logandale I heard a bang followed by a clacking noise. Thought I blew a tire but the handling wasn't affected. I took and exit and coasted into the Excalibur parking lot to find the engine was dead. No smoke or fluids so I'm guessing the timing...

Just finished another video of some of us from Vegas running Tie Rod Canyon this weekend. I've done the trail a bunch of times but one of the guys (in the ZJ) showed us a few new obsticals and some different ways up and down some of the old ones. It was a great day to be out, 78 and sunny and a...
