    After that, I had been contemplating if I should drive to Juarez, Mexico or not. Against all advice and judgment, and being only 10 miles from the US/Mexico border, and still having a lot of time to kill before getting on the road for Phoenix, I decided it was a good idea to cross the border...

    Made it to El Paso, TX at 6:30am and decided to go visit the El Paso Scenic Drive Parkwhich overlooks the city. It was nice and good morning distraction. Then I took my Mavic Pro up in the air to take a 180 panorama shot of the whole mountain. You can barely see how small my black suv appears...

    Started my road trip last night at 9pm. Long and boring drive through the night, stopping every so often to fill up this has guzzler. Random pic at 2am on I-10 One of the many gas stops throughout the night

    Thanks for this suggestion. I think I will go to San Rafael Swell. Just looked at some pictures online and it is picturesque.

    I will do Burr Trail for sure. But looking at Cathedral Valley byway, it seems a little out of my way, so I may not do that. But I just read more about it and it says it a 57 miles loop. I will not be able to do that many miles on dirt roads. They say it takes 4 hours to do it all. But I see the...

    Exploring the wilds of the Owyhee Canyonlands - The most remote region of Oregon

    Very nice report and pictures. You should get a drone so you can also take some aerial shots. I have a DJI Mavic Pro drone and next month will be my first time taking it on a major road trip and I am really looking forward to some aerial shots in Utah.

    Would be cool to meet you again on the road. But this time we are not eating only icecream. We are grilling that steak you promised when we met in Canada. Yes, I know July 18-22 is the FJ Summit. That is the more reason why I am going during that period. I like to attend it. The town is full...

    Thanks for that suggestion because I was not considering using hwy 12. My original plan plan was to use hwy 62 to get to Capitol Reef NP. But based on your suggestion, I just did some more research and I think that route would be very scenic. Besides, I just discovered hwy 12 is a famous Scenic...

    I run the trail both ways. But not like the entire trail. Let me show you what I am saying. The thing is you can run the trail from Telluride and go up. It is a two way road from Telluride up to the Bridalveil Falls. That is where I am going to. I know you cannot go past that point. I plan to...

    Smoke after hill climb (3rd gen taco), then blown engine.

    Wow. you really messed up that truck. Well, keep on fighting about the warranty. Hopefully Toyota works with you.

    2006 Xterra- good deal?

    Looks like it might be a good deal. Some salvage cars are good deals. Look it over well and decide. Maybe get a better price.

    This build is nice. Keep it up. Are you in Houston? I am in Houston, that is why I asked.

    ROXOR: The Willys CJ3 Reinvented

    Nice car and nice pictures. But this is USA. How many true offroaders can wheel well with a manual car? Very few. So, this will not sell that much. People want and prefer automatic offroad. Also, I think the price is quite high. @15,400 for a base model that clearly needs upgrades like a...
