Nolen! If you could put up with me for an extended trip I would love to visit this area with you! How many days would it take to do it right? We just covered another 700 miles in Utah a couple weeks ago. Went from Page, AZ to Moab (EJS) and then to Toroweap (Grand Canyon) on as much dirt as...

I'd really like to see you on the trail and kudos to YOU for spending quality time with your boy! Don't make that thing too pretty because it'll hurt less when you scratch it all up! Lol. I'm working on my van right now too. Leaving Wednesday for another Utah trip...this time from Lone Rock to...

I was hoping for them to clean out a little bit better but all in all, they got the job done. No chunking yet but they are practically new. The only thing I don't like about them is they aren't as big as the Goodyear MTRs I took off. I would like to switch to NITTOs simply because they have a...

I love those old rigs! Can't think of a better swap than a 6BT into one of those. Lance, you guys need to do a Utah trip with me soon. I also am thinking about doing the Ghost Divide expedition in NM... Chris

I just found out I'll be camped near Nitto, but on the outside of actual "Hammertown." I qualify on Tuesday, race Legends on Thursday, and hopefully race again on friday...depending on how Tuesday goes!

Sorry it took so long to reply...I've been super busy with work and getting my junk ready for another trip in late February (probably Baja again). Anyhoo, we came to a crossroads (at night) and made a right hand turn that led us to Hite. At that point in the trip, we were just trying to finish...

No sir...I just went down with my girlfriend in my 4x4 van. We covered almost 1400 miles in 7 days. We had a great time!

Thanks for the info and I'm glad it wasn't worse. I always use Baja Bound insurance...I'll read my policy. I was down there around the same time as you.

I should race the van, I'm pretty comfortable in it! Are you going to be out there? I'll be pitted next to Jason Scherer.

Cool report. I can't wait to start exploring Death Valley. When I was out tooling around in the San Bernardino mountains one time, I saw 2 Subarus with 31" tires stuffed under them. It was pretty cool to see what they could do. Have you messed around with air pressure for the washboard? In my...

Thanks again guys! I'll be back from Baja soon and answer some questions that were asked, as well as a new trip report from Baja!

Thank you everybody!!!

Where are we going? Lol And thanks!

Day 7 November 2nd We woke up the next morning still hoping to finish out the trail. Even though the trail didn't have anymore major obstacles, it was still rough, and therefore, slow going. We drove and drove, just soaking in all the natural beauty. (Pictures might be out of order...) This...

Still on day 6! Again, Kristal and I were high-fiving each other and very proud that we weren't trying to set up camp in an upside-down van. We came to some other washouts that were either drivable or had a detour. For the first time in a while, we knew we were making it out because of a set of...

I usually run 14-15psi but dropped it down to 10psi on this trip and loved it. Low pressure not only helps traction but soaks up so many little bumps (like washboard).

I bought an original '69 Econoline and drove the Hell out of it. I loved that thing but had to sell it when money got tight. It was amazingly clean. I took it to Cabo in '07 and did a trip report on it here somewhere.

I'm pretty surprised by the van as well! But it's just a '96 van with stock everything except an Agile 4x4 conversion and 14 Bolt rear end with an ARB. I went with a 14 Bolt because it was cheap and I wanted a full floating axle. My stock differential ate a ring and pinion, so I had Agile do the...

I actually enjoy the challenge of towing the trailer. I'm a little weird like that. I have a jeep that I won't lift for the same reasons...it's a fun challenge to get it through stuff that most think it can't do.

Utah is my favorite place by far. Nothing compares!
