Easter Jeep Safari 2018

Good to be back home. That was a lot of miles. My first ever trip to Moab and Easter Jeep Safari is in the books!

Had a blast. TJ and I shared the driving on the way there and back. That part of the country is just plain awesome. Unbelievable. Pictures don’t do it justice.

I even got to meet Ian Johnson from Velocity’s Extreme Off Road TV show. And I got to meet a real legend in the automotive industry, Jessi Combs – the fastest woman on 4 wheels.

The trip wasn’t without its drama, however. I got the flu on the drive out that I couldn’t shake. We ended up skipping the second day of trails. Coming out of Cliffhanger, on the second to last day, I busted a brake line. Found a replacement, but it would have been too short to go offroad with. I would have ripped it apart.

I can’t wait to go back. Maybe next year. 😉

Jeeping with Santa

We got invited to spend the day riding a trail with a production crew for Jeep social media. They were filming an online ad to be aired this Christmas for Jeep. It was fun and all, but it made for a long day on a shortened trail. We had to stop repeatedly in order to move the cameras or set up shots

Trailer Queen

The new trailer came in. I ordered a 20′ PJ Trailers B5 Buggy Hauler to haul the Jeep. The trip to Moab will be its maiden voyage.

I ordered it will a toolbox on the tongue, but unfortunately, the toolbox gets in the way of the brackets for the load distribution hitch.

So I had to cut off the toolbox with an angle grinder. Ugh. Brand new trailer, already hacking it up. LOL.

Hacked up my finger a bit, too. Ooops.
