Next up the front end gets an update finally! While I like the look of the Flatlands bumper it honestly was a POS I bent the winch plate up by an inch as well as bent both mounting brackets causing the bumper to shift up and bend the fenders as well. That's what I get for getting the cheap...

Made an attempt to get out camping last night to a rather failure of a trip but on the bright side I had a blast just doing a bit of snow wheeling around Salida on the some of the Forest service roads in the area. There was snow ranging from 6" on the main road to over 2 feet of drift snow off...

The drive back was just about normal for this time of year. The usual small amounts of falling snow that get progressively heavier till I get on the west side of Monarch where is returns to just a light flurry. Stopped on a dirt road near the summit of Kenosha pass to take some photos of the...

Ran down to the front range for a long weekend of work, doing some R&D and custom install of a ZR2 diesel Dual battery system and many other things. But all of it almost didn't happen due to a major storm that hit Wednesday and Thursday night. On Wednesday night we got 7" of nice fluffy powder...

Just the usual driving conditions here in Gunnison. Always fun seeing people on M/Ts sliding around on hard pack snow and ice. There is truly no replacement for winter tires especially when legally you aren't allowed to run anything that's not 3 peak rated in these areas. Sent from my VS996...

The next day we had a late start. But decided instead of packing and heading home we made breakfast. Packed up camp. And headed back into arches, this time the normal way to talk to the rangers and see if fiery furnace would be open, which it wouldn't be for a couple more days so we decided...

The rest of the drive was very uneventful until I hit i-70, where holy driveshaft vibrations batman! With the new gears the driveshaft are spinning significantly faster. And above 70mph it started to vibrate violently. I was halfway to Moab at this point and under 70 it was extremely smooth with...

A few days later, I was itching to get out camping and I had a friend in Fairplay having the same issue. So we said screw it and decided to head out to Moab for a weekend of camping and hiking, due to recent snow the trails in the area we're very muddy and not wanting to cause damage to them we...

With snow comes the recoveries. Sent from my VS996 using Tapatalk

My latest recoveries are 2 cars and a diesel truck. On MLK day Gunnison got a small snow storm. Not even an inch but because it had been around 10° on the highs and -20° as the lows. All the snow that hit the ground turned into a sheet of ice on highway 50. I got a call from another student...

Ok well I have been quite busy with the Regear and well we managed to finish. It was a huge project but we learned and made our way through it to the finish. It took about 2.5 days for the rear end. And a day for the front as we did it after the rear. The Dana 44A actually was converted to a JK...

Started my Re-Gear today. Started on the rear, by removing: the skid plate, driveshaft, axle shafts, brakes, and diff cover, ARB is still looking great, and worth the airline detached we blew out the airline which had some gear oil and water mixture, nothing out of the normal as compressors...

Spotted on sunday up at Mill Creek trailhead. Sent from my VS996 using Tapatalk

I had switch around my LED set up during the summer and decided to make a bit of a comparison of the light patterns and strengths. Currently I have 32" X6 Amber combo by Extreme LED 2x Side shooter Pods by Extreme LED 2x 4" flush mount pro pods by Extreme LED Factory headlights, soon to be...

This one happened over the summer but there was freak hail storm in the middle of the night that ended up dumping about a foot of hail in some places. I went out after to see what happened and even pulled a couple trees off the road in the process. Heres Duke enjoying the hail the morning...

Took another trip out to fruita for some Mountain biking and used the Jeep as my base camp like before. I ran the fridge for over 36 hours without running the Jeep without the battery dropping below 12.1v I have the fridge voltage cutoff set at medium which is 11.4v which for my Odyssey battery...

Now it was time to make a quick drive home over labor day weekend to pick up the Jeep, and the fridge showed up! It is a Dometic CFX-35US that I got a great deal on. I had ordered the previous generation of the fridge but they were out of stock they just sent the new version for the price of the...

Met up with a friend and did some Wheeling with him and his nicely built JK. Sent from my VS996 using Tapatalk

That completes my projects over the summer.It was time for me to move back up to Gunnison. Due to the Jeep now having a Fridge and Drawer system I thought it would be best to use the Taco to move back as I couple fit everything that I needed in it and then go home and pick up the Jeep that next...

Next up was the rear drawers, I had been using the Costco yellow top boxes for a while to hold all my tools and camping gear but got sick of having to climb into the Jeep anytime I had to grab something. So my dad and I worked on building a drawer system to keep everything organized and...
