VIDEO : WAYALIFE New Year Kick Off Run 2026

[wayoflife]

Overlanding across 90 miles of the Mojave Desert in Jeep Wranglers, Gladiators and even a Ford Bronco and with all our good friends at WAYALIFE, is how Cindy and I chose to kick off a New Year of wheeling! Along the way, got to off-road on rough and rocky terrain, wind blown sand dunes and even did a bit of water fording before pulling back onto pavement. As always, we also got to see cool old historic mines, a controversial war memorial, a lava tube, a crazy steel megaphone on a hill top and we even got to do a short hike up into a Spooky Canyon. We hope that you enjoy seeing all the fun we had and if you weren't able to join us for this run, we hope that you'll be able to join us for the next.

That was awesome, you guys hit some great stops. Bummer about the various mechanical issues but glad it all worked out. Loved that transition scene, it was very cool. Nice job.

 

[jeeeep]

That was a lot of fun!

Transition scene was cool... though you appeared much younger, can you re-edit the video and apply that magic to me?

Looking forward to more fun

Sometimes it's the simple things that trips us up, I'm surprised my forehead isn't more caved in lol

Glad you enjoyed the video and yeah, it was a bummer that we had some issues along the way. Fortunately, it all worked out in the end. The only real bummer is that you and Robyn weren't able to join in on the fun.
