    Utah in the fall 2015 - 9 days, 475 off-road miles, and 14 hours of digging! (PICS!)

    That rack on the Jeep was custom built. It attached to the spare tire with the support bar going down to hitch. That bar was pinned at the bottom so he could open the tailgate. I'm not sure how well it actually worked though. I think the weight messed up his tailgate. Hopefully he'll post up in...

    Like I said earlier, some of these photos are out of order because of using different cameras, and some are blurry. On a trip like this, if we stopped each time we saw something cool, we'd still be there! We took well over 3000 photos. To make matters worse, 2 weeks ago (on a 4 day Arizona dirt...

    Day 2 October 28th Leaving Alstrom Point is simply returning the same way you came. It's only 5 miles each way from the main trail, and definitely worth it. We went from the beautiful buttes of Lake Powell to Mars types of terrain within an hour. We stopped along the edges of some...

    Alstrom Point was crazy cool! We camped here and had a nice campfire while we threw a few back. Although picturesque, we re-located to a safer camping spot! Aired down is the only way... Sunrise was off the chart!

    Hey Rob!! No, these are Raceline wheels. Hopefully we can meet up for a trip soon! I'm trying to talk Mike H. into going.

    Thanks guys! Day 1 October 27th Okay, so our first day was from Lone Rock to Alstrom Point (overlooking Lake Powell), but included The Kelly Grade on Smoky Hollow loop. With lots of rain the weeks before, it was pretty muddy and not a lot of people ventured out. We ran into some washed out...

    Things didn't go as planned, but there wasn't much of a plan to start with. I wanted to follow xjblue's 2009 Utah Traverse trip report (http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/60947-Exp-Ut-Southern-Utah-Traverse-Sept-09?highlight=utah+traverse), but starting at Big Water, UT.

    Pics of your VAN! Post up!

    For sure! Even though I'm not using your kit, thanks for breathing new life into the 4x4 van market. Until you came out with your kits, I think Bigfoot sightings were more common than a van on 35s or larger. :)

    Yes, they install the 50 and have the conversion completely dialed in. These guys have built trophy trucks and their craftsmanship is way better than anything I've seen from other conversion companies. I can't help you out on a price because I had Agile Off-Road install a 14 Bolt rear at the...

    Hey man! I was going to go with the U-Joint kit but found a better option. I had Agile Off-Road swap out my straight axle (leaf sprung) for a TTB set up with coils. It is so much better! I've got around 5 inches of up travel and 6 inches of droop. It handles great on the road too. I wouldn't go...

    Going to Baja this Friday...planning help needed!

    I was thinking of ditching the PWC and doing this: Whale watching in Guerro Negro A night in San Ignacio 3 nights camping on the Bay of Conception Then head home. Can we rent kayaks or something on the Bay of Conception?

    Going to Baja this Friday...planning help needed!

    I'm taking my girlfriend to Baja for a week, starting Friday. I want to go on the east side, south of San Felipe. We are looking for a quiet beach to camp on in our 4x4 van. I don't want to drive all the way to Cabo, but not afraid to go quite a ways down there. My questions are: Is it a bad...
