    Family trip down the 395 - Mono Lake & more!

    I've been wanting to checkout Mono Lake for a while now and timing worked out with the recent Memorial Day weekend for us to finally go. I had hoped to cross over via Tioga Pass but it was not open and looks like it won't be open until July. Anyhow, We had to settle for passing through Lake...

    2013 Ford Raptor SuperCrew build

    It's been a while since I checked in. Truck continues to perform well. Upgraded the power steering setup to a Howe system after destroying my second pump. Seem once the stock one goes stock replacements don't seem to last long. Original lasted over 50,000 miles and the second lasted about...

    2013 Ford Raptor SuperCrew build

    We have guys using many different models. As long as it has gps it's good. Part of why we use them is they are simple, accurate, and reliable. For our group runs it makes things simple for loading maps and trouble shooting. If everybody is running something different it makes it hard to know all...

    First Death Valley Trip: 4 Cold, Wet, Snowy, Wonderfully Awesome Days

    Great report. Judging by the weather it looks like you hit Titus canyon on Saturday? If so, we may have come close to crossing paths. We exited the canyon close to 3:30-4pm I believe. There were definitely a lot of hikers near the end.

    New Years in Death Valley with the Family

    Thanks fellas! Nice, you're going to love it out there. I'd love to spend a week in Death Valley. Thanks! Yeah, it worked out well using the trailer as a base camp. I would have preferred to park it somewhere more "offgrid" away from the crowded campground but I'd play it safe with my...

    New Years in Death Valley with the Family

    My Brother and I had originally planned to go in early December but we decided to push it to New Years because it meant more time off to explore the park. We ended up being a big family affair. Our parents, both my brothers, both their wives, my wife, son, and mother in law all came. With the...

    2017 Ford Raptor details emerge

    Thanks and I believe you're going to love it. I think you hit it right on the head. Unfortunately, it won't change the rating but the trucks are overbuilt and the only thing keeping you from increasing your payload is a good set of rear springs. I have the Icon RXT springs with the extra heavy...

    2017 Ford Raptor details emerge

    These trucks can pretty much handle as much payload as you would need for overlanding. You're probably going to want upgraded to a solid progressive spring but you can carry anything you could need for overlanding. I say this from a lot of experience and trips with guys like the below. Truck is...

    2012 Yukon XL 2500 Overland Build

    Thanks! That sounds awesome. Definitely going back there soon! I'd kind of given up until i found this one. Power is pretty good. It's not the same as my Raptor but close. I recently used it to tow my 7000lb travel trailer and it did well. Raptor pulls better up grades but I'd expect that...

    North Rim to Grand Staircase Video
