Now it was time to park the Suburbasarus and hop in Waymon's Lexus/Prado for some new style comfort and make the climb up the Rockhouse. I give a ton of kudos to every person who has visited and NOT destroyed this cool old building. It looks like plenty of people use it as a hangout & party...

This was the oldest grave with a date on it....1810 to 1887. Amazing to think what all was going on with US/World history while this person lived. Especially depending on where they lived and how they lived. Hard life in the Southwest I am sure. This tin marker was pretty old but looked great...

This is why I have a big problem with ATV & Side by Side folks, most of the trail damage is caused by them. All the tire tracks we saw that were in places a person SHOULD NOT BE were ATV style/size. Waymon & Lacy at some of the walls that are left standing. Lots of big, heavy metal machine...

This is the story of a crazy 1 legged guy and his buddy who went along for the ride :) My Black Friday Special was buying this 1970 Chevy Suburban 3/4 ton 4x4, and since Waymon (TexGX) and I were already planning to camp that weekend we decided to make an adventure out of testing out this...

I really want to visit Copper Canyon so I am holding on tight waiting to hear more. Oh and I welcome any and all comments you have as it is great insight, thanks!

On the Aussie forums and in the mags/DVD's you often see folks put their fridge by their chair in camp and use a portable power pack. Pretty slick. Having seen this setup in action on our Black Friday weekend outing I was very impressed.

I have been reading around here on the 255/85/16 in various makes and talk about info overload:) For those of you who are keeping in the know, I would like to get 5 of them for a 5000lb 1970 Suburban on a 16x6 wheel (maybe 16x7)... prices for each of the BFG A/T, Copper, Maxxis Big Horn and ???

Here are some fun numbers I found from decoding the VIN Cost new $4190 base price Curb Wgt 4343lb GVW 7000 Wheelbase 127in Only 541 3/4t 4x4 Suburbans built that year Build date March 1970 Built in Fremont California which became the NUUMI Toyota plant which became the Telsa Motors....see it has...

Due to a change in photo hosting I had to change some pics if things seem odd With the sale of my Landcruiser Troopie I have been looking for something equally old school... Here is my Black Friday Special, a 1970 C-20 4x4 Suburban with a 350 and a few interesting options. The original owner...

Great thread Jeff I have never been happy with the cots I own but I like the Camptime Roll Cot I also like the tent that goes on a cot that I saw at Bass Pro once..been thinking about that alot Looking forward to what folks post here

the show was super small and had more side by side stuff that 4x4... but hey I figure the only way to see things grow and get better is to go and show there is some interest out there

Very nice sir... I like how clean, simple and portable that is...so next time we camp you can pull your fridge right in between our chairs so I can enjoy cold root beers and marvel and your genius :)

My son & I went to the Arizona Off Road Show and saw this new hard shell tent that Wild Boar is coming out with. I really like that it has gas struts to help with opening and a mini rack to allow light but bulky items to store. I thought the drop down table was a nifty feature to when you...

I have had great luck with Sony Vegas, easy to use for a dork like me, renders on my older laptop just fine in lots of formats. If I wasn't so bored out of my skull when it comes to video editing then I would have lots of cool examples :) You can download a trial version and give it a go.

very cool photos! Funny how much Utah has to offer in the way of cool stuff to show the kids. So close to Arizona yet so much to see that it is almost overwhelming to plan a trip. Thanks for the excellent pics and adding another place to my list.

Funny how as a native Texan I have never been to Big Bend, your report really shows me how tragic that is. Thanks for the write up and now I have to check the next chunk of time off so the family can head that way :) Also I gotta say 2 geologist on a trip like this must have been interesting...

the 45 qt is $440 plus shipping http://www.kmart.com/shc/s/p_10151_10104_011V001898799000P thanks for the alert on these!

I agree that you will be scooting right along. I know on the Camino del Diablo I have talked with Border Patrol guys who run it in 1 day vs the 2.5 that I usually take. Also some of the Mojave Trail can be motored on pretty quickly. I am trying to tweak my work schedule to join you on as much as...

Looks like a great time and one of the solo travels that lets you really expand your thoughts. Thanks for the pics and killer looking rig by the way. Sorry to hear about the carnage but sounds like something you can fix pretty easy. Thanks again and keep on posting the outings, I love Utah!

thanks for posting these Mike I can see lots of uses in camper, van and other projects, I really like how the base could be storage also
